LOCAL cHAurAUauA
A Record Breaker, Says Auditor Davis
Of Redpath Bureau

Auditor Davis of the Columbus dis
trict of the Redpath Chautauqua made
the very pleasing statement, when he
closed the local Chautauqua Thurs
day evening, that the attendance in
Mt. Vernon was far ahead of that OF
any other Chautauqua he had closed
this season.
Much of the credit for this is due
to the indefatigabIe work done by the
members of the COMMITTEES of the
Citizens Association. Composed Of ex-
perienced men, they have more than
duplicated their triumph OF last year
to such an extent that it was compare.

guarantee required for next years

death. The commercial clubs should
work hand in hand with the farmer,
the schools, the churches and the
government to attain good results.
Get good roads, have scientific agri-
culture instruction, start men thinking
by having them attend church and
business will prosper.
Joy Night is somewhat of misno-
mer as there are countless numbers of
people who witnessed the closing Of
the 1914 Chautauqua with the deepest
regret. However the Edwin r. Weeks
concert company did much to dissipate
the gloom that might otherwise have
settled over the audience on the last
night of the Chautauqua. Mr.. Weeks
is an entertainment in himself. He is
humorously ridiculous and yet, at the
same time, not undignified to any ex-
treme. His poems, impersonations,
medleys and rapid-flre wit kept the
large crowd in an uproar constantly.
He was very ably assisted by his wife
who possesses an unusually sweet
voice and also some of the powers of
characterization that make her hus-
band such a source of joy. A young
violinlst of rare ability, Miss Wood
ward, contributed likewise to the ex-
cellency of the program, her encores
being old time songs, played in two
parts. Altogether, the final entertain
ment was extremely fitting and ap-
propriate.

DR.. Beverly Thomas Galloway, the
newly elected dean and director Of the
New York State College Of Agricul-
ture at Cornell university, has spent
his entire life In the service Of agricul-
ture. He began his career as an in
structor in the Missouri State college,
was for many years the head of the
bureau of plant industry of the United
States department of agriculture and
since 1913 has been assistant secreta-
ry of agriculture.
DIR. Galloway was born in 1858 in
Millersburg Mo-, his father, native
Of Kentucky, having been one of the
pioneer settlers in the state. After the
civil war the Galloways moved to Co
lumbia, the site OF the Missouri State
university. There DR.. Galloways ca
reer may be said to have begun.
He began at once to specialize in
plant pathology, a subject In which
only one or two institutions in the
United States were then doing any
work. An offer Of the place of assist
ant botanist In the United States de-

cause 1t would have interfered with
these Investigations. but when con-
gress appropriated small sum Of
money in 1887 for the study of plant
diseases he became assistant path0lo-
gist In the section Of mycology. DR..
Galloway found four or five men work
ing with total appropriation of $4,000
or $1,000. When he steps out of the
department he will leave behind him
In the bureau Of plant industry nearly
5000 men engaged in work that costs
nearly $3,00O,000 year.
In 1913 DR.. Galloway became assist
ant secretary of agriculture, an ap-
p0intment which was recognized at
the time as entirely devoid of political
significance. Here he again showed
his sympathy with the agricultural COL
leges and state experiment stations.
Much Of his time, indeed, has OF late
been devoted to bringing the depart
ment into closer touch with them. He
is also a strong advocate of instruc-
ton by practical demonstration when
ever possible, of going directly to the
farmer with the information he needs.

Way Many Represen-

Up by Postmaster
General
Same Thing Likely to Be A.
tempted in Senate

Washington, D. c., April 12.-(Spe-
ciaD THE hottest fight by far of the
Wilson administration has been over
repeal of tolls exemptions. Trained
political captains have rendezvoused
with the opposition. But through it
all. the Presidents lieutenants have
been on hand at every turn. They have
played the game with mighty shrewd-
ness. Suspicious that old-time methods
might have been employed in pinch
seem to. have some foundation. Pos
sibiy votes might have been bought
and sold for patronage considerations
had 1t been absolutely necessary.
Certainly some of the Presidents
friends went about the preliminaries
in tremendously business-like fash
ion.
As a matter of fact, the fight was
never as close as opponents tried to
make it appear. The opposition made
most of the noise and represented We
hementIy that things were coming its
way. However, although the tallies
never showed such a close margin,
that 1t was worth while to throw
few postmasterships to Democratic re-
calcitrants. it was true that Postmas-
ter General Burieson took active
charge of the Presidents interests in
the bill before the House and had
many Democratic representatives on
the carpet. There are said to have been
IS OF these Congressional callers in
one day.
Certain considerations made the des
ianation of Mr.. Burleson likely for
lining EN- up in the House. He is
conceded to be the best politician in
the cabinet. Mr.. Burleson is resource
full and quick to act. He will be re-
membered as one of the floor leaders
at the Baltimore convention, while he
was still q congressman from Texas.
Because of his long service in the
House. he had particular qualifications
for taking charge of an administration
fight in that body. He had a large
personal acquaintance with members.
before he left the House, and this ac
Quaintance has been extended and
made more intimate since he went into
the cabinet. The postmaster general,
more than anyone else in the Presi-
dents official family, comes in con-
tact with representatives. His ante
room is crowded many days of the
year with these congressman wanting
to know about postmasters.
But, above all, Mr.. Burleson as post
master general could make convinc-
ing argument to these Democratic
representatives because they have to
come to him for favors. Democratic
