keeps in constant communication with
his office, and no move is ever
made there except by his consent. His
personal stenographer travels with him,
but there are dozen in his office that
are expressing his will just as truly.
The personality of the Chautauqua is
his personality. No one connected with
the movement is so bound up in it as he.
No one spends so many hours, working
planning, smoothing away the troubles
of Chautauqua, as does Mr.. Pearson.
No one commands such loyalty as does
he. He is known affectionately by all
the people working with him as Pop
not to his face, but always in talking
of him. Everybody connected with
Chautauqua would do anything for
'Pop," work hours of overtime, miss
meals, fight for him. They recognize
in him real leader-one whom it is q

considering the question of touring
several States during the coming cam

will go. He has been asked to go into
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Iowa,

OAKLAND WHISKEY DANGEROUS
Makes a Fiend Out Of Frank Martin
and Lands Him in Jail.

The Grafton Sentinel says: Frank
Martin is in Jail here serving a sentence
under one charge and awaiting trial for
at least two other charges of serious
nature. Martin went to Oakland few
nights ago, and is said to have returned
with large supply of intoxicants. He
is said to have had trouble with his
wife's brother. Earl Tucker, after he
got pretty well soused, and then beat
his wife. His wife left the house and
returned latter, and he again beat her.
She then swore out warrant for him
and on trial before Justice Newcom, he
was fined $25 and costs and sentenced
to serve five days in Jail.
1t seems that this is only cOmpar
atively small part of the things that
are laid up against him. When he
brought back the contraband stuff
from Oakland, he is said to have dis
played generous spirit by treating all
of his friends. This lays him liable to
the provisions of the Yost prohibition
law and he will probably be tried on
that charge later.
While still feeling the effects of his
supply of trouble making material,
Martin is said to have started out yes
terday with razor of large dimen-
sions. He ran afoul of James Forcelll
while swinging his weapon and threaten
ed him, it is said, and then chased him
with the razor. Forcelli ran down
street and officers started after Martin.
Martin then threw the razor over a
wall, where it was found broken and
exhibited in court yesterday. Martin
must later answer trial for attempted
assault.

MASTER MIND OF CHkU rAUQUA
DR.. Paul n. Pearson Will Appear A
The Park This Year.

The man to whom the dream of this
Chautauqua came, and who is response
BILE more than any other for its being,
will appear at the Park during Chau-
tauqua week as lecturer. He is DR..
Paul M. Pearson. professor at Swarth-
more College. and director OF the Chau-
tauqua Association.
To many Mr.. Pearson is an old friend,
having appeared for a number of
lectures in this vicinity during the past
few wears. He has always delivered
his favorite form of lecture-recital,
which is mostly recital of humorous
cuttings selected for their appropriate
ness 10 his point.
The chief role in which Mr.. Pearson
appears here, however, is in that OF
Director of the ChautauqGa Associa-
ton. The personality of the Chautau-
qua is that Of Mr. Pearson. He is the
human dynamo who makes the thing go.

publicans lay aside all differences and
work together in unity is wise one

from freight earnings, terminal profits

A TERRIBLE HANDICAP.

Democrats in Congress who have
been deaf to the voice OF their con-
stituents and alive to the voice of the
White House are now trembling over
the outcome Of the November elections.
There is pail of gloom over the entire
party, and the campaign begins with
the Democratic party apologize,
explanatory. and defensive.
Many Democrats in the House are
not so sure that they are anxious to go
home for the campaign, after all.
What would they tell their constituents?
The White House influence, so potent
in Washington, becomes pretty thin
when spread out over the country.
Witness the defeat of the administra-
ton candidate for governor of Texas,
and the showing under of every man
who voted for the tolls repeal bill,
wherever the people have had chance
to get at him. In New Jersey the
support of the President had no effect
in saving a Democratic candidate who
had announced himself in favor of tolls
! repeal Perhaps the farmers of that
state remembered the speech of the
| Democratic candidate for President at
Washington Grove, when he approved
the tolls exemption plank IN the
Democratic platform and told the
farmer why the Democratic party was
| in favor of free American ships through
the Panama canal, only to turn against
them after he had been elected.
Throughout the business world there
is deep resentment against the Demo-
cratic administration and it's supporters
in Congress. The halt in prosperity is
directly charged against the administra-
ton policy. In the South this resent
ment is even more marked than in the
| North Seaport cities which counted
upon big commercial development
following the opening of the Panama
canal are now listless, feeling that the
taxing of American shipping destroyed
the chief hope of competing with the
railroads.
The sentiment among business men,
big and little, has It's effect in swaying
the judgment of farmers and working
men. The farmers depend upon IN
dustrY for their market, and the
laborers depend upon it for their wages.
The farmers see their home market
taken from them by the tariff, and the
laborers see their jobs taken from them
by the same agency. Dwindling exports
and increased imports tell the story OF
the transference of activity to Europe.
The laboring men of Europe may thank
the Democratic party, but the laboring
men of the United States are not thank.

The great elements of American

A Red spider Gone Wrono.

The chigger Is really an embryo that
never got out Of the chrysalis stage.
He started out to be red spider and
stopped at becoming pest. His papa
and mamma are red spiders. about the
size OF pinhead and bright red. They
inhabit old stumps and logs in the
woods and feed on vegetable diet. But
their offspring are divided into two
classes-the bloodthirsty and the non
bloodthirsty. The nonbloodthirsty, like
a we'll behaved child. heeds mothers
advice and dimes on grass and leaves
ard old woods. He grows up to a red
spider. But the bloodthirsty little
cuss hunts up quadruped or "A biped
when he feels hungry and burrows.
He has no control over his appetite,
says the entomologist. and gorges
himself. Ergo. he dies. He is the
chigger. He Is so small that he can
scarcely be seen by the naked eye.
OF course he doesn't rear a family, in
consequence. But his nonbloodthirsty
brothers and sisters will reach years
Of maturity and acquire offspring.
And among their children will be CHG
