GREAT FUN-SCOTT
Former Congressman Likes
Chautauqua Speaking.
Just Returned From 10 Weeks
Tour in East.
TOOK TRIP AS A VACATION
just One Speech-and the Days
Work Was Done.
KanSan Met With Great Success
in Season.
TOOK TRIP AS A VACATION

Chautauqua speaking hard work ?
Huh! Ask Charles F. Scott of lola
! former congressman from the Second
Kansas district. Why, the lola editor
took his vacation on the chautauqua
platform this ycar-ten weeks of it
and returned to Kansas rested and
ready for the hard winter grind in a
newspaper office
For years chaUtauqua patrons have
! heard the story of hardships suf-
fered by orators with canned speeches.
These men have magnified their grief
and sorrow. They nave told of lost
the blistering heat and the strain and
mental distress which resulted from
ninety minutes a day on the platform.
Poor, misguided pilgrims!
That is what Scott thinks of the
chautauqua talent that complains
about platform work" And Incl
dentally, Scott is a high grade attrac-
ton on a well-known chautauqua cir
cut But he didn't come home from
a ten-week tour complaining of the
hardships which he suffered. Not a
bit of it.
The man who says chautauqua
speaking is hard work either never
worked or he is trying to fool the
people, was SCOTS statement in To-
peka this week while discussing his
recent speaking engagements. 81
have been on the road on ten weeks
solid time. But it wasn't a hardship.
why that trip was n vacation-the
only vacation I had. the only vaca-
ton L wanted or needed" was the
frank. candid admission of the lola
newspaper publisher and political
leader Think of making one speech
q. day and riding rs or 80 miles and
calling it hard work. It's a joke.
Anyone ought to know it.
Il had lots of loose time on my
hands. 1 read, 1 studied conditions,
of a /
enjoyed and 1 had enough time to see
a lot of things that were interesting
and instructive. 1 stopped at good co
tels-that is, most of the hotels were
good. I delivered one speech a day
about sixty speeches under my SON
tract 1 had lots of fun and was paid
for my time.
why, compared with work in a
daily newspaper office, chautauqua
work is snap. 1 didn't write line
of copy for my paper While ! was
away. 1 didn't have any responsibility
aside from that one speech. After
whipped it in shape, constructed the
sentences and paragraphs to my llk-
ing, there was nothing to do but make
the speech each day..
Last year Scott engaged in a series
of seventy joint debates with Henry j.
Allen of wichita concerning the issues
between the Republicans and the Pro-
gressives Every day one of she
speakers pulled" something new. It
was g nip and tuck fight right from
the start for honors 1t was a battle
between two of ne states most adroit
and clever political speakers and they
gave an oratorical exhibition that was
a top line attraction.
"That debate was real intellectual
Scott admitted. But as for
the speaker with a set speech being
comDelled to work on the chautauqua
platform-it is silly. He doesn't know
what work means or he wouldn't say
