The elimination of this in his gradu-

CLUB WOMEN RECEIVE PRAISE
Everywhere They Are Congratulated
For Bringing the Chautauqua Here.


For Bringing the ChautauqUa Here.
Our club women of the Twentieth |
Century Club are coming in for much |
praise in and about town for their
courage and enterprise in bringing
the big Chautauqua to Smyrna. I'm
bued with the idea that such a course
is in line with their policy "to pro-
mote higher things" and feeling that
Smyrna should be in line with other
Peninsula towns in securing this great
talent, they, with forty-five guaran-
tors, shouldered the responsibility of
raising $1,000, a sale equivalent to
six hundred tickets. The club wOm-
en- did all the work, made all the ar
rangements and worked up the senti
ment. They even canvassed the town
and surrounding country to sell sea-
son tickets. II seemed a task, but
despite one encouragement after an
other, they did not lose hope. The
Chautauqua came Saturday and by
Monday with the collections of both
Sunday services) they had raised
over $1,000. This sum. which is still
growing has surpassed their most SAN
quine expectations and naturally they
are elated. In the meantime Smyrna
citizens have been delighted. edited
and pleased. For this talent they
are enjoying they can thank the club
women for il is their pluck and deter
mination that made this great trea
possible and the Smyrna Chautauqu'
such a decided success. Already tn
club women are planning to have tn
Chautauqua back with us next year
Prof. Paul NJ. Pearson, the managini
director, met with the officers of IN

CAN WILSON HOLD HIS FORCES

Although President Wilson and his
administration are making a brave
show at being able to hold Democratic
senators to the mark on the tariff bill
by means of an iron-clad caucus rule,
there is considerable doubt as to their
ability to do so.
Wednesday Senator Hitchcock left
the caucus for the reason that an
amendment, he offered to the bill af-
fecting the tax on tobacco was voted
down, and it is generally conceded
that Senators Ransdell and Thornton,
of Louisiana, will decline to be bound
by the caucus rule. As a change of
but four votes is needed to defeat the
tariff bill in the senate, it looks as
though the president was "whistling
to keep up his courage"
While Nevadans believe that Senat
or Pittman will stand by the admins
t%ration, you cannot make them believe
that Senator Newlands will vote for
free wool and sugar if his single vote
will defeat the measure.
