Kentucky Finds New
Vision In Chautauqua

prepare for the "fall Red Cross
drive"
The government is aware that the
fall fairs and the Chautauquas
reach practically 100000 Ameri-
cans in July, August and September.
and that no similar agency exists in
any country in the world.
AT Columbus, Ohio, which, in ad-
dition TO having as its State Capitol
one of the most beautiful public
buildings in the world, has also the
central bureau of the Redpath- Har-
rison Chautauqua Circuit, the source
of patriotic propaganda for Ohio and
the Ohio Valley is j. H. Bumstead,
traffic manager of the circuits, who
reports Ohio to be In the war in SOL
emn earnest and the groups of Sc
rious looking mothers who now are
to be seen bidding farewell at depots
TO their drafted sons testify TO the
arrival of war to the Ohio home.
Drafted Boys Are
Given Parting Cheers
The drafted boys are usually lined
up on the Chautauqua tent platform
and given parting cheers.
81 do not preach hate to these
boys" said Judge Alden, the circuits
patriotic orator, mot hate-but love.
They are going into this war for the
good of mankind. And we at home
must see that we make democracy
safe for ourselves"
These Chautauqua organizers, like
Vawter, Radcliffe and the two Har-
risons, are personalities" with a
characteristic punch, half Snowman,
half educator. Says w. l.. Radcliffe
in his literature:
Canary birds are placed in coal
mines to protect the lives of the
miners. If the atmosphere becomes
foul the canary stops singing. The
atmosphere needs change. A Chau-
tauqua is to town what canary is
to a mine. If the Chautauqua can't
live in the atmosphere Of town the
atmosphere needs change. And we
propose to set about to change it, for
no corporation would abandon a coal
mine merely because It's atmosphere
was bad"
w. Verne Harrison's announce
ment read:
"The management of each of these
circuits has pledged to our President
a supreme effort to promote the
spirit Of patriotism and to inspire
the people TO a greater conservation
to the cause of democracy"
j. N. Sparkling, circuit manager
for the Lincoln bureau, announces
that at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
near indianapolis, next week the
Chautauqua camp will be turned
over TO the cantonment for the week,
and the soldier boys will have pos
session. At the environments, as at
local meets, the soldier has free adj
mission and the chief reliance in the
way of recreation for the trans
planted drafted man is the Chau-
tauqua, an agency found ready to
hand.

The Sinews Of War
California Fish Exchange Fixes All
Prices From the Water to the Table,
Lowers the Cost Per Pound and In
creases Cops1ImDtiOn
By THEODORE Nj. KNAPPEN

fornia Fish Exchange, born Of the
war, may be doing this moment.
Now, to get down to the essen
tial facts of the new plan, even at the
risk of being a bit tedious: Every
fisherman is licensed. So is every
fish dealer The Fish Exchange
knows exactly with whom it is deal
ing. The maximum retail price will
be fixed daily by the Fish Exchange
in conference with the fishermen and
dealers. Gradually a normal price
will be established for each kind Of
fish. When the catch is abnormally
high the price will be abnormally
low, and vice versa.
The maximum retail price will be
announced conspicuously in the
newspapers each day, and it Is hoped
thus to keep the consumers 50 watch
full for the days of big catches that
there will never be any waste. Va
rious methods of publicity and or
ganization are being invoked in order
to persuade the people to eat so much
more fish that even at prices consid-
erably lower than those new pre-
vailing the fish trade will be more
prosperous.

Remote Towns Wei

Community Existence
Developedin Address

Big Tented Shows
ls,an CureRoodeneel

T OUISVILLE, Aug. 14.-In the
wake of the Chautauqua
- movement, which has just
swept north from Kentucky with its
$50 big tents under the Redpath,
Lincoln, Harrison, Radcliffe, Vawter'
Coit-Alber and Swarthmore organi-
cations, one finds echoes of the pa
triotic enthusiasms created and gets
impressions of the cultural benefits
and the social awakepings that at
tend the evolution of this new factor
in American community life.
In Hazard, KY, on Thursday the
mountaineers Of the celebrated feud
town, thousand wondering people,
inspected the Chautauqua pro-
gramme of recreational training for
these barefooted children and of
community inspiration for the farm
ers and villagers, of patriotic lect-
ures and pageantry and of high class
musical and dramatic numbers and
they embraced the tent. Miss Helen
B. Paulsen reports that the mothers
wept at the new vision.
The Chautauqua tent came as a
mission from heaven to these remote
towns. Some of the hamlets have no
churches, and the modern ideas Of
community life are unknown to them,
In one Kentucky mountain hamlet
the Radcliffe managers had to close
up the tent on the second day and
use the county court house, as the
population, unused to paying admis-
sion TO anything, swooped in under
the sides Of the tent where they ac-
cepted the programme with intense
qualification.

Young Men Are
Wanted on F arms

Some Of the Western Kentucky
hamlets are barren of young men.
These flock to the cities, and the home
folks are proud to tell how their sons
help to build up remote communities
and how the local school graduated
boys and girls who are doing great
things elsewhere.
How to make the community alb
sorb and utilize its own potential
energies, how to keep the young man
on the farm, how to make the home
town radiate enthusiasm, how to es-
tablish modern schools, to make bet
ter roads, and to develop a commu-
nifty consciousness and a patriotic
spirit is the set work of the Chau-
tauqua programmes.
Meanwhile, through the instru-
mentality of this nationwide move
ment the government again proposes
to develop contact points with the
people. At Washington on Monday
the Chautauqua promoters from
throughout the country are sum-
moned to meet Henry P. Dawson,
head of the Red Cross movement. to

CredSeS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-It
looked all right to the fish king when
fishing tug steamed through the
Golden Gate and dumped some tons
Of perfectly good fish back into the
water. 1t was his tug, he was a big
operator and the Golden Gate of the
great city to which Bret Harte de-
clared "all things good or great come
soon or late" makes sufficiently
spacious stage for a pretty big man.
But the picture didn't please still!
bigger man-Colonel Harris Vein
stock.
So it happens that California is
now furnishing the laboratory for
economic experimenting that may
lead to the undoing of some long ac-
copied and very respectable theories
about the relation Of the state to
prices.
To abolish the frequent scene in
the Golden Gate which did not appeal
to him as a very happy composition,
Colonel Weinstock has decided to fix
the price of fish from day to day. AS
he is acting under authority Of the
sovereign State of California, the
fish dealers are taking something
more than a mild interest in the
colonels programme. For be it
known that Colonel Weinstock, who
is the State Market Commission all
by himself, has now been created
also the State Fish Exchange.
1t Is or will be, as soon as it gets
to work, q model Of simplicity, this
exchange. 1t will resemble the ordi-
nary exchange about as much as
J. P. Morgan's private office resem-
bles the New York curb. Colonel
Weinstock, sole seller, will suggest
what he considers an equitable bid
to Colonel Weinstock, sole buyer, and
as the latter has great confidence in
the formers knowledge of market
conditions the bid will be accepted.
The Fish Exchange is another ap-
plication of Colonel Weinstock's the
DRY that the primary condition Of
reasonable prices to the consumer is
the stabilizing Of the industry
through intelligent union of the pro-
ducers. In this case, however, he
not only consolidates production but
also establishes the prices through
the intervention of the state. Hereti-

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.

The Fourth of July, which occurred
this week, is the national birth
day of the U. S. and the people of
these states look forward to this event
as the climax in our civilization and
the beginning of the freedom Of the
common people.
The spirit of '76 was that we might
live in the country where we can be
free and worship God according to the
dictates of our conscience. Our fore
fathers fought with this idea in view,
and when victory was won and peace
established the cardinal principles of
the Declaration of Independence was
that 1--WE hold these truths to be self
evident that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Crea-
tor with certain unalienable rights;
that among these are life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness, deriving their
just power from the consent of the
government. 1t was upon this great
stand that our republic was based and
from that time until now the Ameri
can people have been struggling for
those rights and as yet some of the
American people are not enjoying all
Of the above enumerated rights. And
this week while we celebrate this glor-
ious event we should renew our firm
determination as descendants of our
forefathers to work for the complete
enjoyment Of all the American people
of all of these rights. Many of these
rights have been violated upon the
high seas and in foreign countries and
are now being violated in our own and
until freedom of all the American citi-
zens, and when we secure peace in this
great world, it should be universal
peace, universal brotherhood and
Fatherhood of God.

EDITORIALS
ILLINOIS RACE RIOT.

The recent disgraceful race riot thai
reoccurred in East St. Louis, ILL.,, this
week was indeed one of the most ap-
palling and intolerable murders, butch
erines and destruction of human lives
that was ever perpetrated upon the
colored race in this country, for no
other reasonable excuse except that
colored laborers were taking the place
that former white union laborers had
struck from and for which colored peo
pie were willing to work at price
that was acceptable to the employers.
Such was their excuse for such whole
sale killing. To our minds there is no
iustifable excuse for such murder and
certainly some of the officers are liable
for the neglect of their duty, for the
state guards allowed the mob to dis
arm many of them, and it does seem
that some of the officers should be held
responsible for such conduct.
1t is indeed lamentable and shocking
to have such terrible crimes commit
ted in our country on one of the best
classes of citizens without any reason
able excuse and especially coming at
the time when our nation is plunging
into the great worlds war and asking
for unity and cooperation of all our
citizens, it is indeed unfortunate, yet
beyond and above racial discrimina-
ton. murder and riots, the masses of
the better class of the white race do
not approve of the recent actions of
the rioters in East St. Louis and they
are bitterly opposed to this action. We
believe that it is very essential and
high time that our state and national
governments should take hand in
stopping such lawlessness, whether in
this country or foreign countries, for
if such cowardly riots and numbering
continues long our country will be in
a state of anarchy.
We urge our race men all over the
country to stand firm and demand pun
ishment for the recent riots and abb
solute justice for all men, and some
day our just God will in some way
bring about a favorable appreciation
of our demands, for truly this coun-
try can never be the home of the brave
and the land of the free until every
citizen, whether white or black, enjoys
the privilege of unalienable rights
that the declaration of independence
grants them, which are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
