If the Langdon Chautauqua, the
dates of which have been announced
as July t7hssto 18th, is to receive the
amount of boosting that in past
years has tended to make it such a
big success, isn't it about time that
the ''boosters' were getting busy?
Langdon has a full program of sum-
mer attractions and the Chautauqua
is one of the best on the card, and
we cannot afford to let it go by de-
fault.

the kind of church work acceptable in
border camps had better put their
property in the name Of their wives"

BRYAN IS PROHIBITIONIST
FOR REVENUE. SAYS WOOLNER

Louisville, Ky, May 9--Thc Anti-Sa-
loon league was attacked and former
secretary Bryan was criticised today by
Samuel WOolner, or Peoria, Ill, presi-
dent Of the National association Of
Wholesale Liquor Dealers of America.
in an address before the twenty first
annual convention Of the association.
Mr.. Woolner said the attacks made on
the liquor trade by the Anti-Saloon
league were unwarranted and he Dr.;
forth the intimation that Mr.. Bryan's
attitude toward public questions was
animated more by self-interest than by
philanthropy or patriotism.
Criticizing former secretary Of state
Bryan, Mr. Woolner said that Mr. Bryan
was strong for reform but strong for
reform for revenue only" He quoted
Mr. Bryan as having said that alcohol
