Mary Agnes Doyle.

The real treat of the afternoon was
Miss DOYLE Miss Doyle has a natur-
alness that is seldom attained by the
reader, and her warm Celtic tempera-
ment and poetical nature stand out
In every bit Of her work. Nothing
short OF superb will do to use in de-
scribing her numbers and she won
her audience by her charming man
ners and personality. Her whole heart
goes into her readings, making her
characters real, live, red blooded men
and women who speak and act. She
is beyond question the foremost dra-
matte reader on the stage today. Miss
Doyle is a member of the New Theatre
Company, though she very modestIy
insists on saying that she has only
small part in the productions.
Miss Doyle gave Frances Hodgson
Burnett's "The Dawn of Tomorrow
She spoke in the beginning of the
characters showing unselfshness and
optimism, characteristics that she fair
ly endowed her central character.
Glad with. Following this number
she gave two Irish lyrics, John Zen"
and THE Low Backed Car" Two of
Joseph Lincoln's characters were next
portrayed. After this she gave Percy
French's Irish Mother This is
tragedy of the children leaving home
to earn money in the new world. Her
closing number was from Dooley, be-
ing that personage's "Anti-Fat Treat
ment," monologue.
In the evening the KELLOGG Haines'
Singing Party gave their justly famed
opening concert, their audience being
another large one.

HAMlLION, ILL.,, Aug. by ester
day was the big day of the Hamil-
ton chautauqua. both In point of at
tendance and the merit of the pro-
gram. The largest of any week day
afternoon crowd was there and they
listened to what everyone was pleased
to term the best lecture and best mu-
sic of the entire chautauqua Edward
Amherst OFT was the lecturer and the
Kellogg-Haines Singing Party were
the participants in this program which
was there. Keokuk sent a goodly
delegation over on the special cars
and there were large number of
people in from the surrounding towns.
The indications are that today's pro-
gram will be the record breaker both
as to program and attendance There
is no doubt but that such program
as is offered tomorrow should be at
tended, and likely will be by very
large crowd. Certainly those who
don't go are missing the treat OF
their lives, for Hamilton is giving her
best chautauqua of all her seven this
year
Otis Lecture Pleased.
Never before has there been a
man on the Hamilton platform to
compare with Mr. Edward Amherst
OFT Practical, not dreamer, opti-
mistic to the highest degree, force
full speaker and a wonderful mental
picture painter, Mr.. OFT stands before
his audience without peer in his
line. His lecture is not the narrow,
stereotyped lecture one too often
hears 1t is the kind that makes you
sit up and take notice and strain
your ears. and wonder when he has
finished why he can't commence all
over again
Mr.. Otis subject was, "Will Your
Dreams Come True" He prefaced
his talk with little poem, a beauti-
full story of a child with a crippled
knee who played hide and seek with
his grandmother Though neither of
them could run and hide they hid just
the same. the boy having three guess
es in which to say where his grand
mother was hiding. Continuing, Mr..
OFT said:
If we played the game of life in
our minds as did the old lady and her
grandchild, / am sure that our dreams
would come true. It would solve our
problems This haunted house I'm
speaking TO YOU about is the mind.
The diseases of our mind are the
ghosts that haunt us. When we COM
mence 10 quarantine against these
ghosts as We do against scarlet fever
and smallpox we will be better. The
mind is the finest machinery of our
body, yet we don't take care of this
delicate mechanism. We throw all
kinds of monkey wrenches into it;

MacMurray Leaves.

Professor Arthur MacMurray, who
so acceptably filled the position of
platform manager, left last night for
Emmetsburg, Iowa, where he will oc-
cr1py a similar position at their chau-
tauqua Professor MacMurray was
the best platform manager Hamilton
has had, and it was with regret that
his friends saw him go. He is an able
man and one who does great deal
toward helping on the chautauqua to
success
Mr. MacMurray bid his audience
goodby yesterday afternoon. He paid
the Hamilton chautauqua people and
ments. He said he hoped to see the
Hamilton chautauqua live, and he be-
lieved it would, and that in the very
near future would be self supporting.
He termed it one of the best in the
country, and said he never enjoyed
working with anyone as he had with
the people of Hamilton this week.
Fridays Program.
fridays program at the Hamilton
chautauqua was headliner in every
respect. It was decided departure
from the program of the week in that

to hear the program and were we'll

All must agree, however. that we
ought TO utilize our splendid re-
sources more thar we are doing to-
ward sugar production. We have
only begun to raise that highly
profitable sugar beet. chiefly In Ne
braska. California, Michigan, wis

clares, will produce it just as abun-
dainty, and the yield In each of the
states named is nowhere near what

WHY sEEATORsH1Ps CONE HIGH


Washington Post: II II is the custom
in Wisconsin TO give voters kegs of beer
and jugs OF rum. the interest which
everybody in that state seems 70 take in
politics is no longer a mystery.
st. Paul Dispatch: Senator Stephenson,
at least. has furnished an argument for
those who are opposed to statewide pro-
hibition. Just think of having to live in
an atmosphere reeking with 500, 7s5 worth
Of campaign cigars.
Philadelphia Record: A few years age
the soldier vote" was one Of the mos,
decisive factors in politics. But the old
soldiers are dying off pretty fast and
other voting elements are coming for
ward. Striking evidence of this is af-
forded by three items in the expense ac-
count Of Senator Stephenson: One man
to attend colored picnic, $780, TRIP
through Ghetto, three men. sS5:" touched

New York Tribune: One of Senator
stephenson's managers. Rodney sackett,
testified that - conduct a campaign for
the senatorship In Wisconsin properly
would cost from $4,000 to 100000. Mr..
sackett ought TO hurry 70 washington

1t made fatal miscalculation in limiting
the expenditure of a candidate for senator
to A0OO0-one-twentieth of the proper
maximum amount

The Prison Conpress.

Omaha becomes host today to the
American Prison congress, which
will mark . notable gathering here
Of distinguished men and women
bent on ameliorating the environ
ment that produces crime,
and humanizing the treatment Of
criminals. The men and women in
terested in this important work are
students of large problem inherent
in and almost oo-extensive with the
Advancement Of civilization, and are
sure to bring out many new view
points Of conditions existing in nearly
every community, and, therefore,
concerning one and all
II would be greatly to be desired,
II It we're possible. that every person
in Omaha, who takes life seriously,
should attend some Of the sessions
Of the congress. and, by listening
to the addresses and discussions, get
inspiration, not only to right per-
sonsl conduct, but also 10 determined
effort for steadfast social improve
ment.
Omaha welcomes the delegates TO
the Prison congress with cordially
prompted by recognition Of its high
purpose, and the sterling character
OF the delegates. Omaha realizes
that there is nothing in the Prison
congress Of a commercial nature,
but 1t also realizes that It is a meet
ing that 10 worth while, and is glad
to be able to offer hospitality and
entertainment.

Perkins on Publicity.

George w. Perkins Is not the first
TO conclude that judicious publicity
would help cure many of the evils
arising from corporation mismanage-
ment. Some men not as closely
Identified with great corporate inter
ests as Mr.. Perkins has been came to
this decision long ago and If they
could have had the cooperation of
the men at the helm, some Of these
problems might have been already
solved.
And still, even now, Mr.. Perkins
offers no definite method of proce-
dure, but merely proposes a commits
sion of general commerce to give pub
licity to the activities of corporate
business concerns, adding that pub
licity alone will right the wrongs. a"
How this commission is TO be con-
stituted so as to get the facts to pub
lish and what legal potency is to be
given It which other processes and
functions OF law have not had are
questions not answered. There has
been no especial absence of effort on
the part of the government to get at
facts about big business, but when
ever 1t attempted to exercise its right
to inquire 1t encountered stubborn re-
sistance.
Mr.. Perkins announced some
months ago that he would retire
from active business and devote his
time to quasi-public affairs and phi
lanthropy. II he will use the power
OF his acquaintance and influence
with. corporations and his knowledge
of their ways to convert them to the
doctrine OF publicity, perhaps in that
VIII lie his most useful service. So
far as his proposed commission goes,
It's authority and powers. of course.
would have to be determined at the
outset.
