Kryl's Concerts.

The people who attend the Chau-
tauqua regularly and many others
who probably have an opportunity
for a single visit only heard Bohu-
mir Kryl's band last Wednesday
night. Mr.. Kryls reputation al
ways brings a big crowd to the tent,
and the important elements of a
successful concert were not lacking
on this occasion. Every seat was
taken and the people were standing
all around the tent, when the popu-
lar bandmaster appeared on his plat
form in front of the band.
1t was prominently Kryl audi
ence and a Kryl programme. The
band played for each number some
we'll known standard composition,
and no less than two cncores. Some
times it was song or a march, or
perhaps a rag. One of tho afternoon
numbers was the selection from
Faust, which is always welcome to

Shaw-Zueblin.

1t was a large crowd which greet
ed the debt:ters at the tent Tuesday
evening, and Mr.. Shaw, the first
speaker, expressed on behalf of the
speakers the kindest appreciation.
Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of
the Treasury in the Roosevelt Cabi-
net and twice Governor of Iowa, AID
DIR. Chas. Zueblin, formerly of the
Chicago University, were the speak
ers. The subject was, "Shall the
Government Own and Operate the
Railroads."
Mr.. Shaw opened the debate for
the affirmative. He is man of
years and ripe judgment accruing
from a public career. In personal
appearance he is rather lank with
9 fine bald head. but OF fine mental
vigor and s. sense of wholesome
humor. In rural communities we

seem like one of us, especially one of
the good humored sort like Mr..
Shaw.
The discussion of Mr.. Shaw was
emphasized in the beginning with a
number of terse statements of con-
siderable weight and carrying pow
er. For instance, the first, very
characteristic one, is that "self gov
crnment is the hardest task God has
given to his children" We have had,
according to Mr. Shaw, six thous-
and years of experiments in govern
ment, and all of the nations have
participated in the changes except
China, which continues to hold to
the traditions of antiquity. This
government was instituted on the
principle of individual initiative and
its progress has been marked in
sharp contrast to the older countries. |

were fine examples of that cornet-
lists spirit and skill.
There was during the evening al
most a full concert with the band
alone, and then came the pageant,
very brilliant after piece of "War,
Victory and Peace" The reader
was Miss Colpitts, the children's
worker, and she was delightfully."- eff
fective in the role. France, Italy,
Belgium, England and the United
States were represented in costume
and the hated Hun came on to meet
his Waterloo before the American
advance.
Mr.. Kryl did not bring as strong
band numerically this time. But
there were some additions for the
pageant. There was an absence of
the saxophone section, the bassoon
and the harp, but the young men
who came were all musicians and
the concerts were all that the big
crowd needed to give them some
pep and punch and something to
take home to the children.

Other examples referred to were the

ownership must not be confused
with private business. The rail-
roads are public utilities. The finan-
ciers have so wrecked our railroad
system that government regulation
was necessary. So the government
stepped in and had accomplished
many reforms. But it remains for
us to do the supreme thing.
DIR. Zueblin continued in the
statement that government opera
ton is more efficient than private
ownership. The railroad system
has been degenerating for years un-
til there are left only few first
class railroads. The little ones are
hardly existing at all. If Mr.. Nc
Adoo. had not taken charge of the
roads they would have gone into
bankruptcy. Mr.. McAdoo's action
in handling the coal supply and 9TH
er like war work was sufficient evil
ience that government operation is
needed, because the railroads can't
live without it. If, says DR.. Zue-
bin, I'VE can't get rid of the fin
anciers and the 'talk-fest' at Wash
ngton (Congress) we will have ac-
,omplished much towards govern
nent ownership and many other
economic problems"
DR.. Zueblin proposed that we have
public ownership with the cooper
ltion of local communities in build
