SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT FOR
CHILDREN AT CHAUTAUQUA

A great deal has been said about
the Chautauqua and all will agree its
the biggest thing ever booked for
Flagstaff but one of the very biggest
things has not been brought out
clearly enough and thatsis the fun
the children are going to have. This
is to be so we'll supervised that we'll
take few minutes to tell of it. The
children are all invited to assemble
from nine to twelve every morning at
the tent and here the girls will be
given over to Miss Mildred Palmer
while Mr.. Beattie will take care Of
the boys. Each morning will be de-
voted to the big feature on the closing
day of the Chautauqua-a parade for
the last afternoon and a real circus
for the last evening which will be CIV
en- just before the big folks have
their program.
We interviewed some of the Chau-
tauqua people already here and only
wish we could show you some OF the
pictures we saw of the children,s par
ade. The clowns band alone will be
worth seing as well as hearing; the
girls will be instructed in folk dane
ing and the boys in all kinds Of aero
batic stunts.
Another fine feature will be the en-
tertainment provided for the children
after the musical numbers on each
afternoons program. During the
lectures the children will have the
privilege Of listening to a competent
story teller who will thus amuse
them while mother and father listen
to some high brow-doubtless if the
story telling proves interesting we'll
see some Of the older ones quietly
slipping out too.
Our understanding of the amuse-
ment feature for the children, reaches
out to a good cause. The admission
fee Of ten cents for the circus goes
in most instances to the playground
Movement" and as in our case where
no such fund exists-the money is
placed with some worthy woman's
organization as an initial fund for
such movement-so before long
we'll have public play ground.

Library Night at Empress

Library Night at Empress
Library Night was observed last
Tuesday at the Empress. Our only
regret is that it seemed necessary to
have this SO soon after the June one,
but the Chautauqua following SO
closely brought the receipts down
very low this month. However the
Board is in no way discouraged and
thanks to the patrons who made an
extra effort to come-most warmly.
Here's to full house in August.
Its hard pull to make twenty dollars
each month from a picture show SO
whenever you see large card in the
store windows with the words Iii
brary Night"-please buy a ticket
even if you find you can't attend.
Your quarter will perhaps save the
day for the Library.

Federated Missionary Society
Hold Interesting Meetin

A meeting of unusual interest was
the one held last Thursday afternoon
by the ladies of the Federated Mis-
sionary society at the home Of Mrs.
Hugh Campbell. About thirty ladies
were in attendance and the well pre-
pared program was in the .hands of
Mrs. II. f. johnson. A few musical
numbers followed by devotionals
opened the program and Mrs. john
son then gave most interesting syn
opsis of the first chapter Of recent
treatise on mission work. Our two
great leaders in social work-Jane
Adams and Jacob Riis--were dis
cussed briefly by Mrs. Harry Lathrop
and Mrs. Clarence Thorpe, followed
by a reading of Myra Kelley's given
by Mrs. Noble.
Pertinent to the theme was the
work done in Flagstaff along mission
lines and this was most ably handled
by Mrs. Acker-a true pioneer in
mission work in our town. To some Of
us who were new-the facts she gave
proved SO interesting that we beg to
state them briefly here to show the
advance in SO short time.
The first religious service was con-
Quoted in the summer Of 1882 by Mr..
Guthrie in the A. L. & T. boarding
house dining room. After this Sum
day school and church was held in the
school house until the M. e. church
was erected in 1884. The valuation
Of this church was about $500. The
valuation Of church property in 1915
was $4,000.
An undenominational home mission
society was organized in 1901 and to-
day there are still fifty members who
keep up the work by each paying five

needed.

Hunger Strike and Food Prices.

Russian prisoners have been known to bring
hard-hearted jalors to terms by going on a
hunger strike. These are to be initiated by Amer
lean housewives who propose to abstain from
buying foods on which the price has been inordi-
nately increased. As protest, this may be spec
tacular, but its usefulness remains to be estab-
lished One holder Of stored-up food product
calmly defes the public, courts and all to move
him from his purpose. He holds the food in
storage and tells the consumer if he wants to
eat this particular sort OF nourishment he must
pay the price. Neither attitude is correct. The
public should have the benefit of all improved
methods for preserving food, that the plenitude
of summer may be extended over the lean months
of winter, and the owners of the storehouses
should have reasonable profit for their share.
This is another place where the authority OF the
whole people must be exercised, for its outcome
does not rest on spasmodic action by few, A
hunger strike is only protest and not remedy,

Nebraska Press Comment

Neigh Leader: The retail dealers in coal i'll
the cities are certainly putting the crmp into the
consumer. While the retail prices of coal in the
smaller towns has advanced materially, it has
not been nearly so much as the advance in the
cities, coal selling in many places having
cheaper freight rate than interior points at
higher prices. 1t is evidently lot like many
of the other increases in prices, simply taking
advantage of the general upward trend to squeeze
the public.
Aurora Republican: The next election in Ne
braska will be simplihed to the extent OF emi-
mating two political parties, anyway. The pro-
gressves failed to poll per cent of the total
vote Of the state and are therefore automatically
retired from the field. The popusts failed to
hold convention and comply with other legal
requirements and they will also be ruled off the
ballot Nebraska is said to have been the last
state in which the peoples independent party
existed. 1t was the death bed as well as the
cradle Of populism
Dakota City Eagle: Some legislator can gain
ing Nebraska legislature, and see that it be-
comes law, providing for relief in our voting
system, and especially in the counting of the bal
lots. A double shift election board seems to be
the simplest remedy so far suggested. Let the
counting Of votes commence soon after the vot-
ing commences and then soon after the polls are
closed the result can be ascertained without
having to wait from two to FIVE days. The cost
would be no more than under the present sys-
tenn and the job would not be Stunned by high
class persons, which it is advantageous to have
fill these positions.

Work for the Legislature.

When the Nebraska legislature comes together
in January it will find plenty Of work waiting for
it, mostly in the way of making repairs on the
output Of preceding legislatures, A general de-
mand is heard from all over the state for altera-
ton or Improvement of existing laws. This evil
dence that efforts at regulation have not all
worked out as well as had been anticipated is not
surprising. Our habit OF resorting to the passage
of law to correct some local or temporary con-
dton has led us into veritable morass of statu-
tory complication, Most OF the measures enacted
into law by the legislatures have been hastily
constructed and not we'll considered and so
bring confusion rather than relief 1t is an inev-
table experience of growing state that its regu-
latory statutes must not only be elastic, but must
also be subject to frequent revision, but in Ne
braska following this theory, we have gone to ex-
tremes. Much that is now the subject of law
might better have been left to the common sense
Of the people. "Be it enacted is not magical
formula for the solution Of all of mans per-
plexties.

Specializing on the Senate.

Political dopesters down at Washington are
United States senate after two years from now.
They call attention to the fact that while the
republicans, as result of the last election, have
cut down the democratic majority from sixteen
to twelve, they would still have to win seven
places on the next round to gain control. 1t is
further explained that of the batch Of thirty-two
senators to be voted on in 1918 thirteen are re-
publicans and nineteen are democrats, of which
twelve are from southern states, that the repub
licans would have to hold their own and gain all
of the expiring democratic senatorships outside Of
the south.
On the face OF it this looks like an impossible
situation, but it is not altogether hopeless, be-
cause we sometimes have kaleidoscope political
changes There is always a fair prospect that
we may have more than thirty-two senatorial
places to fill for the next following congress.
Let it be remembered, too, that we have just
chosen two new senators from each of the states
Of Maine and Indiana. True, this was due to
deaths Of incumbents, and still it will be the
exception, rather than the rule, hereafter, with
our direct popular choice Of senators, to have an
election in which some state does not have to
choose two senators at time.
For republicans to capture the senate may be
long chance, but no more so than most Of the
political maneuverng to change control of leg
slative body, and stranger things have often hap
pened, as our history attests.

Great Britain's Ungracious Refusal.

The refusal of Great Britain to grant safe
passage to the new Austrian ambassador to the
United States is as ungraeious as it is uncalled
for. Nor is it made any the more bearable be-
of the pretext on which the action is predi-
Gated. To insinuate that the behavior of diplo-
matsts OF the Teuonc powers is warrant for
declining to permit them to visit the countries to
which they are accredited is to exhibit incredible
animosity. Great Britain has no right to assume
that sentiment in the United States is unfavor-
ably affected towards one side by reason OF the
presence OF representatives OF the other. Ii this
were so the British are open to the accusation Of
seeking undue advantage by excluding the ambas-
sador of an enemy The dismissal Of DR.. Dumba
should be convincing proof Of the sincerity of our
government in this regard. Many matters calling
for diplomatic action arise between the United
States and Austria in which Great Britain has
but collateral or remote concern, but these must
be delayed to suit the pleasure Of the British
government The cause OF the Allies will not be
helped by this action, nor will John Bulls atti-
tude as guardian OF the world be strengthened
1t may also be OF interest to know if the precedent
will be followed when the American ambassador
to Germany seeks to return to his post at Berlin
