SENATOR vARDAMAN OF MISSISSIPPI

James K. Vardaman. ex-governor
of Mississippi. and now senator-elect
from that state to succeed lie Roy
Percy, is opposed to taking anything
out of politics.
In the course of an interview
few days ago, the tariff question
came up. Senator Vardaman said he
believed that the question would be
taken up at the beginning Of the SEES

slight changes made in the present
schedule. To what extent the revision
of the tariff would go the senator

however, that he believed that the
tariff should be revised schedule by
schedule. and that whatever changes
are necessary should be made as
soon after the converting of congress
as possible.

Without question, one OF the most
appreciated parts of the Chautauqua
program was the morning lectures by
Rev w E. Danforth. Rev Danforth
is an impressive speaker and demands
the closest attention from his audi
ences. Among his dramatic inter-
pretations on the program were
Kindling, The Return of Peter Grim,
The Servant in the House, The For
tune Hunter and The Passing of the
Third Floor Back The morning
hour lectures were largely attended.
The interpretive recital Thursday
afternoon by Isabel Garghill Beecher
was a revelation. The World and
His Wife" was Mrs Beecher's selec-
ton on this occasion. The work Of
Mrs Beecher has a fascination and
charm that equals anything that can
be found on the stage today and she
was at her best on the Chautauqua
here

versity Boys quartette IN the after
noon and evening of Thursday was

cred to listen to the Hon. J. Adam
Bede of Minnesota and Emil Seidel,
Milwaukee's ex-socialist mayor, de-
bate the question, Is Socialism De-
sirable for the United States; For
two hours the big audience sat and
heard these two orators and thinkers
lay the matter openly before them.
The debate was lively and full of
rich humor on the part of Mr.. Bede.
Mr.. Seidel received great applause.
He stuck close to the question while
his opponent with great skill kept
the audience roaring.
The one disappointment Of the en-
