GOOD BYE TO
CHAUTAUQUA
Many Citizens Would Make it
Auf Wedersehen, But
Money Needed.

Is Redwood Falls going to have
a Chautauqua season in 1911 /? One
hears the question asked frequently
of late, but at present no one seems
to be qualified to answer with final
authority. Last winter the Midland
Lyceum bureau conferred with a
few of our representative citizens
and Manager Halliday ultimately
agreed to take chances on another
season here provided the citizens
would guarantee an advance sale of
500 two-dollar season tickets. The
contract was closed on this basis and
thanks to vigorous hustling on the
part of Messrs. Crimmins, Gold and
Peterson just before the tent was
pitched, the guaranty was provided
for. Of course Manager Holiday
counted on nearly another thousand
dollars of receipts from additional
season tickets and single admissions
on special days, but there were no
extra crowds to justify his caIcula-
tons, Platform Manager reporting
gap of about $500 between the total
expenses and receipts, when the ac-
counts were aud ted Monday. All
local bills were paid in full.
On the test made for ticket reserv-
ations for 1911, only about 400 seaon
tickets have been pledged so far. In
the light of experience, it will be
hardly likely that any Chautauqua
manager will make as liberal offer
as to guarantees as we had this year,
but with proper agitation, the
friends of the Chautauqua can win
out for another year. Our opinion
is, that what is needed for the best
success is a capable and properly
paid Chautauqua promoter. There
is not much doubt that such a per-
son can win out with Chautauqua
proposition for next year, and now
that Redwood Falls has the habit,
we do not look for it to quit the
game another year.
One might almost say that such
addresses as we had last week from
Drs. Buchtel, Thos. Green, Lucian
Follansbee, Senator Brown and Col.
arhart, and in a lesser degree
from the Gilland Won Petzold debate
and DR.. Merritte Driver, consti-
tuted a short course in patriotism
that is not to be undervalued. All
of these gave us something to think
about of higher ideals both socially
and politically. Senator Brown dis
appointed those who were looking
for undertaking personalities, but
his talk on the history Of the Amer
lean constitution and his point that
our politics will be just what the
average voter chooses to make them,
was splendidly enforced, and then

His wife, who was uninJured, oe-
came hysterical and could not give

fraud the government on underweights

counsel tried to shift all responsibility
for the conduct of the company's af-
fairs upon its late president Heikes
story put the responsibility up to his
dead chief direct.
George S. Graham, who made the
opening address for Efeike. said he re-
GREETED bringing discredit to a man now
dead. but circumstances OF the case de-
manded it. Heike, he said. was at a
period in life when a prison sentence,
even if short, would mean q life term.
On taking the stand Heike immedi-
ately put the. responsibility for prac-
tically all his acts up to Havemeyer,
saying the latter had been in direct
control of the Williamsburg refinery.

ness dealings he declared he had acted

the Workingman he would then, / think be
doing his legitimate duty toward large and
important part of the community from whom
he draws his salary. The citizens of this
state want no peonage system established
here and the quicker the labor commissioner
realizes that his interests lie with the plain
people instead of Incorporated wealth the
sooner can he restore himself to the good
esteem of his fellow citizens.
Another reason why the strike was
ordered at the mill of McGill & Grimm
besides not carrying the union stamp
is that the firm insists upon hiring
men for less than the union scale. The

said. wants to pay but $3.50. The strike
was really for the latter reason.
