Once more for period of five days,
the people of Morris and vicinity have
been entertained, instructed and put
into touch with national and world
problems thru the agency of the popu-
lar Chautauqua.
The Chautauqua opened on Satur-
day, tho on the previous evening, a
rousing meeting was held for the pur-
pose of stimulating interest in the

munity songs.

gave his popular lecture on "The
Modern Crusader. +" 1t was highly
appreciated.

Girls" a sextet of talented musicians
and delightful entertainers, gave a
popular concert. Their instrumental
selections were good and their singing
and readings were excellent.

E. H. Richards on "Why the Black
Man is Black" brought astonishing
information of the vastness of the
undeveloped resources of Africa and
the influence of Christian civilization
there.

pany opened the program with some
selections of especial merit and finish.
Byron L. Lick then gave the marvel
Gus views of the Panama Canal, San
Francisco and the Exposition. The
pictures were a great boost for the
exposition, and furnish wonderfully
fine evenings entertainment also.

Mckinley, of California, in his ad-
dress on "The Japanese in America, !"
showed that the California view of
the Japanese question, or more pro-
perly the Orienta question, is only
the proper national view. Mr.. Nc
Kinlay believes that the United States
. already has a serious question in the
nergo problem and that there is no
occasion for needlessly Introducing
another racial question by allowing
the immigration of the hordes from
Japan, China and India. In passing,
Mr.. McKinaly gives side glances at

from a personal contact with the large
men and large measures of the nation,
with practical ideals for sober and
substantial progress, and with pat
riotism broad and sound and growing
out of the best traditions of where
Americas greatness has been and
will be. He and his kind are sure to
be the leaders of substantial American
thought.
The musical entertainment by The
Otterbein Male Quartet in the evening
was as enthusiastically received as
male quartets always are. Their bell
ringing was good, the humorous
sketches good, but their singing was
the most pleasing.
On Tuesday afternoon DeHull N.
Travis gave "The Man without {
Snile,' dealing with prison usuage
and criminal reform. His exposition
of modern penology was fairly good
but his delivery was labored. ThC
