day Program

TOMORROW evening Will see tne
opening of the chautauqua out at
Electric park. For the seven days

from the program, is to be a better

retary w. C. Mumaw of the local chau-

band will be the feature. There are
many other features of the program
each day, copies of which may be OBJ
tanned at the local offices of the Grays
Harbor Railway & Light company or

Until a person looks over the list
of chautauquas that are being held
in all parts of the United States this
summer. the magnitude of the bust.
ness is hardly grasped. 1t probably
has shown greater growth than any
other institution of modern times and
each year the total chautauqua at.
tendance has increased 200 per cent.
To keep these chautauquas in op-
Grafton requires the services of many
hundreds of people and the list of
men and women who devote all or
part Of the summer months to this
kind Of work, includes many of Am.
'erica's notables. Besides the hun
'dreds of musical attractions, lectur-
ers and entertainers, there are many
hundreds Of advance men, college
crew boys and other assistants who
manage the immense detail of the
chautauquas.
The chautauqua of today is operat-
Led on strict business basis, and un-
like many other movements of the
present day, it pays its bills and f.
nancially is success. When it is
understood that $15,00O,0OO was spent
last year in promoting the chautau-
quas of the United States, it will be
readily understood that as an insti-
tuition is making good on a business
basis.
Judge R. M. Wanamaker of the Su-
preme Court of Ohio, who will speak
at the chautauqua Sunday, brings a
message of even greater individual
interest and Importance than that of
n"eDaredness-a constructive treat
ment of the vital problems of our
federal, state, district and local courts.
No man in America today is so ably
equipped. by reason of actual partici-
pance, and demonstration of conten.
ed principles, to point out the glar-
ing weaknesses of our system of juris.
prudence, and at the same time offer
a workable remedial solution to the
problems.
AS district attorney, as judge OF
the court of common pleas, as judge
of the supreme court of his state,
Judge Wanamaker struck a new note
in the annals of Jurisprudence in this
country. He proved not only to the
people of Ohio, but to many outside
thousands who were eager to familiar.
ize themselves upon the subject, that
after all, the dispensation of equal
justice guaranteed to ever yone un.
der the law, is thing of simple and
direct method
