The Dixon Lecture Highly Appreciated

AS the third lecture in the Young
Mems Course of Entertainments, Frank
Dixon of Washington, D. c., delivered
his lecture, "A Square Deal" to very
large and appreciative audience last
Thursday evening. The speaker was in
troduced by Rev. Otto S. Raspe of the
Universalist church with few appropri-
ate remarks.
After few brief and pleasing intro
ductory remarks the speaker plunged
into his subject and with his fine oratory,
clear logic and wit held his audience
spellbound for nearly two hours. While
his presentation of the square Deal'
idea was not entirely new, his forceful
style and clear rapid thinking brought
the thoughts to his hearers in very
convincing manner, his arraignment of
present political methods and plea for
separation of business from politics be-
ing especially strong. The lecture as
whole was one of the best ever delivered
here and if possible strengthened Dixon
with Morrisville audience, many of
whom heard him on his previous visit
here four years ago.
