CHAUTAUQUA

Chautauqua opens here to-day.
1t brings to the people of this
community a class of entertain
ment and lectures which could
not come to a community OF this
size except in the Chautauqua
way and which cannot be seen
anywhere in the world at the
Chautauqua price except in the
Chautauqua tents.
Chautauqua brings much.
more, however, than a series of
entertainments by talented ar
lists. It brings to the community
where the citizens are willing to
receive and become imbued with
it, the Chautauqua spirit of scien-
tifically efficient cooperation and
progress in the advancement of
the community socially, COM
mercially, spiritually.
The Chautauqua is made pos
sible by the action of an hundred
broadminded citizens of this
community in pledging them
selves to prevent there being a
Chautauqua loss. These guaran-
tors demonstrated their conf
dence in the community, in you,
Mr.. Average Citizen. Are you
going to see toit that as many
citizens of this community as
possible receive the benefits
brings? In such
way can the guarantors be made
o feel that their confidence in
,ou was well placed.

Petty Politics--.And Worse

Has it not occurred to Senator
Overman that extraordinary
times require extraordinary
measures? The one thing that
the United States needs desper-
ately at this moment is trained
men; yet Senator Overman pro-
poses to reject some of the few
that we have because, forsooth,
it may cost something to keep
them. He would excuse married
men from duty on the border
rather than take care of their
families while they serve the
country.
With the possible exception of
the rejection of Rublee the
senate of the United States has
not in years staged such an ex-
hibition of microscopic politics as
in the rejection of the bill offer
ed by Mr.. Hay, and passed by
the house, to take care of the
families of guardsmen who are
under arms for the purpose of
protecting the country, including
the senate, against the attacks
of enemies. Furthermore they,
with the regular army, are the
only men who can protect it.
Yet this senate, resting secure
behind the bayonets of the
guards refuses to protect the
families of the guardsmen
against want. On the contrary,
it proposes to knock holes in the
wall, already painfully INSULT
cient, that protects the border
by eXcusing married men from
service. The senate, in other
words, calmly proposes to sub
ject the border towns to the risk
of rapine and pillage to save a
few wretched dollars.
1t is foolish to declare that
provision for those dependent
upon guardsmen would necesi-
tate like provision for the famil-
les of soldiers of the regular
army. The regular makes
soldering his business. The call
to the border means no financial
sacrifice to him; on the contrary,
it usually means better pay. If
the regulars family could live
on SIS a month while he was
quartered in garrison. they can
certainly continue to do so while
he is on the border. But the
family of the guardsman who
has been drawing SIS a month
are prepared for no such catas-
trophe as the loss of four-fifths
Of their income.
Yet he is a trained man, and
trained men the United States
needs desperately. There is not
)ne to spare; on the contrary,
here are far too few now. We
nave already saved so much
money on the guard that our
economy is now going to cost us
thousands of lives and millions of
money. We have been spending
'35 year on the guardsmen,
md as a result they are half
.rained and half equipped. Be
,ause of our murderous economy
hey are doomed to die like flies
n Mexico the United States
has been too cheap to give them
Instructions and equipment to
ave themselves.
Now the senate proposes to
'urther that sort of economy.
every dollar so saved may easily
,e drenehed in blood; but it will
lot be the blood of senators, so
What does that matter?
