The chautauqua Idea.

What the forum was to ancient
Rome the chautauqua has become to
the United States Of America, with the
difference that there was only one TO-
rum, while In America almost 1000
chautauquas are in active operation In
all parts of the country and the num-
ber is rapidly increasing as the years
go by.
In other years people OF the villages,
hamlets and countryside could only
read of great statesmen, orators and
preachers, but they could rarely see or
hear them without taking long pilgrim
ages. Now, by means of the chautau-
qua, the best and greatest talent in all
the world is brought at insignificant
cost to your very doors. The chautau-
qua idea is one of the greatest moral
and educational forces in the country.
The inspiration received from 1t is a
guide to the pathway and lamp to
the feet of thousands.
The great reforms which have re-
Gently swept over our country are
largely traceable to the presence OF
the strong men who have spoken so
fearlessly on the chautauqua platform
in the last dozen years, and the mill
ions of people who have gathered at
these annual meetings to listen to
them have had their consciences so
awakened that they have demanded
that those in authority should insti-
tute these reforms.
The chautauqua movement Is thor
oughly undenominational, and here
people of all creeds and parties COM
mingle thoughtfully and lovingly. The
chautauqua is organized on high
ground and has high aims. 1t appeals
to the thoughtful and cultured, and
seeks to displace some forms Of amuse-
ment which are unworthy and fraught
with danger.
More and more in these strenuous
days people feel the need Of little
vacation. Earnest people are hardly
willing to waste time in vacation
which does not bring them a little in
tellectual uplift; hence the phenom-
enal growth Of the chautauqua idea.
CnduCduQud Is Il DeHeulCllOu W any
community in which 1t abides. 1t ap-
peals in it's varied program to both
young and DID, and is certain to culti-
vate high ideals of living and thought.
In presenting the following program,
the management is not building for
the present only, but for the future as
well and it is our aim to give pro-
gram of such high ideals and excel
lent character as to merit your patron
age and insure permanent chautau-
qua assembly.
The program is one of the strongest
and best which has ever been offered
in the great state of Nebraska, and
includes, besides lecturers of national
fame, music and other features, the
very best which genius can devise or
money procure. The holders of season
tickets get for only few pennies lee
lures and concerts which ordinarily
would cost them not less than fifty
cents to dollar. Every right.minded
citizen of the community should give
their loyal support and cooperation.

Error About Patents.

There is a very general notion that
when the United States Government
gives a man a patent for an invention
by this very act the patentee is in
possession of exclusive and inalien-
able rights to his invention for a
term of years. Now this is the very
thing that does not necessarily exist,
and the very thing that patentees,
investors and the public would like
to have established. Most patents are
exploited by others than inventors,
and the money for the purpose is
largely supplied by thos with little
