The Chautauqua Season

Richmond is approaching the opening of its
annual chautauqua season. The entertainment,
instituted here many years ago on limited scale,
has steadily increased in popular favor and pat
ronage until today it offers program of such
varied content that it receives not only generous
patronage but also is accepted one of the
features of the summer season in Wayne county.
The chautauqua movement is typically
American product that appeals to our democratic
instincts. It's daily program condenses round
of popular instruction and wholesome entertain
,nent 1t caters to every class of the community.
Man, woman and child find something on the
program that appeals.
The Richmond management has shown excel
lent Judgment in the arrangement of the chau-
tauqua program. No criticism has been heard
en- the selection of speakers and entertainers.
The best proof of their wisdom in this direction
is the large attendance which each year has been
attracted to the chautauqua grounds

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors
SAINT.PIERRE

jacques Henri Bernardin de Saint
Pierre was born at Havre in 1877 and
died at Eragny. near Pontois, in IS
IA.
An emotional dreamer. an irascible
personification of the rolling stone,
Bernardin de Saint-Pierre was con-
stantly wandering from one thing
and place to another
Educated for an engineers profess
sion, he went to sea, served in the
army, was dismissed, received an APP
pointment at Malta, held various
posts at ST. Petersburg, Warsaw
Dresden, Berlin, Nautilus, was sup
erintendent of the Jardin des Plantes
at Paris and professor at the Ecole
Normale, was a member OF the In
stitute, and was ever meeting with
tumultous and romantic adventures
Yet he found time to write many
volumes. OF which the world remem-
created two figures which have
caught the popular imagination, not
only of France but Of every country
where books are read.
The story inevitably suggests the
Greek pastoral "Daphnis and Chloe"
by Longus, and one sees in all his
life the interest he took in Crusoe
He was a disciple Of Rousseau; he
led the way to Chauteaubriand: he
broke away from the French classic
tradition, and was one who started
the movement back to nature and
paved the way to the great romantic
spell. Among the friends OF Ber-
hardin de Saint-Pierre and the ad-
mirers of Paul and Virginia" was
the first Napoleon.

Experience as a Warning

Experience is the best teacher. The results
of experiments, tried under identical conditions,
cannot be denied. We know that fire burns to-
day as it did nineteen hundred years ago; if we
doubt it, contact with fire will dispel the illusion
Let US study the theory of government own
ership of railroads in the light of experience.
Austria's experiment with government owned
railroads cost her about $25000,000 and Bel
GUM $14,O0O,O0O In 1915 Canada lost $11 ,000,-
900 on government owned lines. Switzerlands
experiment with government owned lines pro-
duces an annual deficit of $2,5O0,O0O. "A pub
lie calamity and financial disaster was the
predicate ascribed to government owned railroads
in France before the war. Most of the lines of
South America have been returned to private
ownership after the government had tried to
operate them.
Federal control of the railroads and wires
during the war period in the United States has
been failure. No one will deny this fact.
Experience evidently has proved the weak
ness of the theory.
Tremendous obstacles will be met if the gov
eminent tries to borrow the money to purchase
the roads per cent basis. During the war
the government was forced steadily to increase
the rate Of interest on its liberty bonds. In the
market today most of these bonds are selling at a
rate that will net about per cent on the invest
ment. If an issue of $2o,0oo,oo0,ooo is floated
to purchase the bonds, there is every assurance
that the price of liberty bonds will go lower and
will not reach par for many years to come. In
dications under present conditions point to their
selling at par within short time.
It is almost impossible to believe that gov
eminent ownership will bring more economical
administration of the railroads. The deficits
that have been shown by the companies since the
government took over their control proves that
no economies were effected. The public knows
that service under government control is not as
good as it was under private ownership, The ma
jority in this country is against experiment
that has failed abroad and that showed no bene-
ficent results when tried in the form of govern
ment control at home.

Good Evening
BY ROY x. MOULTON

THE TOWER.
They're going to take Bill Hohen to
the Tower,
The Tower whence many royal
hopes have fed,
And in a grim and ultra-tragic hour
They'll try the ex-All Highest for
his head.
Full many royal bloke has said adieu
To his imperial titles and his job;
Has lost his crown and lost his ermine,
too,
And gone to that same tower and
lost his knob.
If Wilhelm is Of superstitious mind,
In other words, if he at all is hep,
He will not use the swagger Of his
kind,
But will approach with meek and
humble step.
There seems to be a feeling in the air,
That they are slightly peeved at
Wilums deeds,
And if he doesn't exercise due care
He'll get it right where Mamie wore
the beads.
Dear Roy-What's all this hallaba-
loo about "Darbs"?
Its a darb," is purely and simply
an antiquated expression, once used
by showmen. 1t was in the vocabu-
larry of the old-time showmen, possibly
since the beginning of time, and was
dicarded abut the time the Ringing
Brothers came into prominence in the
circus world, for which all showmen
are thankful.
Harry Shamrock. of the Sharrocks
now in vaudeville tells me in 1897
he was with the Lemon Brothers cir
Gus, and that Frank Lemon, more ia
miliarly known as Joe Hepp," used
it when he wanted to forcibly charac-
teriez a good stand" or days bust
ness. If it was good he called it a
"darb," if bad or boomer he passed
it to the wrong side of the ledger as
an "okum patch"
