nished amusement and entertainment
to two large audiences. Their sing
ing was highly appreciated. Gus
Ochsner, tenor and champion Yod-
Ter, was certainly great. The Yodle
songs are altogether different from
American rag-time songs. The
songs have been handed down gener-
alton after generation with a few
slight changes in them. Tyroleans
are natural born singers as was fully
demonstrated to the audience.
Every member was an artist THE
, Echo" rendered in the evening by
the entire company, Mrs. Grauss, TAX
ing the echo part, was well received.
In Switzerland an acho is re-echoed
five to six times. DR.. Turner spoke
very instructively and entertainingly
in the AFTERNOON on the subject of
The Problem of the City and the
Country" little comment on which
was made in foregoing para
graph.
Friday evening the program open
ed with a half hour concert by the
Alpine Yodlers, which was followed
by motion pictures, depicting Captain
| Scotts trip to the South pole. 1t
was a wonderful film, presenting
some of the vicissitudes through
which the gallant young explorer and
his daring crew passed. After few
moments recess at which time the
children in the audience were allow
ed to pass out, DR.. Turner in most
comp mplimentary manner presented DR..
Frank Dixon, of Washington, D. c.,
who held spell-bound the large audi
ence for an hour and half while he
gave a characteristic lecture upon
IAN Outgrown Constitution" DR..
Dixon told his interested hearers
that the people of this country had
outgrown the constitution, or in 9TH
er words that for over one hundred
years they had been getting along
with a constitution that was a misfit,
but which was not noticed because
! the people were so busy digging out
1 gold from our hills and from our
valleys and from our forests and our
streams that we did not notice that
we had never worn the latest thing
| in constitutions. DR.. Dixon claimed
that in ten years there would be a
change in the management of affairs
in our government. He stated that
President Wilson was the best presi-
dent ever to have been in the White
House and that he believed that he
would accomplish things while there.
He said the people did not want
Taft owing to his policies, but that
former President Taft placed five of
the nine Supreme Court judges on
the bench which in other words
would endorse the policies of the
president whom the people voted out
of office. And these judges would
be on the Supreme Court bench un-
til removed by the Great Judge. DR..
Dixon said he believed in the recall
of judges and also the referendum.
Everywhere to-day the people are
quoting DR.. Frank DiXon's lecture.

Saturdays Sessions.
Saturday, like the two preceding
days, had in store for Chautauqua
goers pleasant surprises and whole
some treats. DR.. Turner continued
his excellent series-lecture upon
Sociology and Social Customs" af-
ter which the Brodbeck-Such Concert
company was presented. The COM
pany consisted of Miss Viola Brod-
beck, soprano, of Philadelphia, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Such, of Eng
land, the former as violinist and his
wife as pianist. The trio are stars
of the first magnitude and furnished
excellent music, both in song and
instrumental. Miss Brodbeck's bird
like notes were we'll taken, elating
her large audience. The rendition
of the selections brought forth ap.
plause. Mr.. Such, who has played
in European courts, uses a violin
made in 1865. In the words of DR.
Turner there is "none-Such" on the
American platform to-day. This
noted violinist played with ease
many difficult selections that inspired
his listeners, touching the heart
strings of the soul in manner thai
words cannot explain. After eacf
selection Mr.. Such received warm
and hearty applause.
Paul M. Pearson, president of the
Chautauqua Association, followed the
concert and gave a ringing address
upon The Joy of Living" He wai
greeted with a Chautauqua sa
lutte. 1t really made one
glad that he were living
after he heard the speaker. Ht
said so many good things. Presi
4 dent Pearson possesses a brilliau
mind, is witty and enjoys in max
ing everybody happy. His presencC
in the community has already beer
felt. He might be termed a doctor
as he prescribes a good laugh fol
everybody. Mr.. Pearson is one o
the many rays of light that is shining
forth from the Chautauqua plat
form. He is a great lover of poetry
,, DR.. Pearson announced one of tn,
mottos of the Chautauqua Associa
tion to be a quotation from Olive
, Wendell Holiness:
"I have never deemed it sin t,
: gladden. this vale of sorrows with
: wholesome laugh" In developing
