Patriotism and Splendid
Attractions.
The Hon. George G. Carlson, for
mer governor of Colorado, will be one
Of the leading patriotic speakers at
our Chautauqua this summer. This
announcement was made by F. P.
johnson, advance agent of the Vaw-
ter circuit who was here Wednesday
for conference with the local COM
mittee.
Many feel that the Chautauqua
should be supported this year as never
before because Of the patriotic nature
of the programs. President Wilson,
in letter to the Chautauqua mana
gers recently, said: "Let me exp ress
the hope that you will let no discour-
agement weaken your activities, and
that the people will not fail in the
support of patriotic institution that
may be said to be an integral part OF
the national defense. -
Gov. Carlson will deliver strong
patriotic address, interpreting the war
aims Of the nation.
DR.. Edward T. Hagerman will be
here to deliver his address on THE
World We Live In This lecture
was delivered last summer on the
Redpath Ohio Chautauqua circuit
Ralph Bingham, the famous humorist,
gave his entertainment on the same
day that DR.. Hagerman delivered his
lecture. At the close of the season
MIR. Bingham wrote to one of the
Chautauqua magazines saying: "No
man has ever done more to arouse the
patriotic instincts of the people than
this very big patriot. Edward 7. Hag-
erman.
One Of the interesting lecture fea-
lures of the Chautauqua promises to
be the address by Lew Saratt on The
Children God Forgot. = Sarett is one
Of the most interesting characters on
the public platform. He was born in
the slums of Chicago and his parents
were illiterate immigrants. Today,
although he is but twsnty-nine years
old. Sarett is at the head of the De-
partment Of Public Speaking at the
University Of Illinois. Ten summers
of Sarett's life we're spent in the
great North Woods Of Ontario. where
he acted as professional guide. woods
man and life saver. He knows the
Indians. the courier du bois and the
lumber jacks. His lecture is inter-
spersed with bits Of Indian music and
dances.
Evelyn Bargelt, who is probably
the country's leading lady cartoonist,
will be here for an entertainment.
Miss Bargelt is an accomplished read
er and her cartoons grow under her
hand while she is entertaining her
audience with readings.
Among the popular lectures the
address on = The Palace of the King"
by v. E. Shirley has long been con
sidered as a Chautauqua headliner.
A Though Shirley is not national
celebrity and has kept out Of politics
he is guaranteed to please with his
eloquent address.
