APOSTLE OF MIRTH
WILL CLOSE ChAU.
TAUQUA TONIGHT
Herbert Leon Cope VIII Deliver His
Famous Lecture on "Family
Remedies'-Welsh Glee
Singers Here.

Saturday and Sunday were big days
at the chautauqua, The Vivian play
ers presentation of the comedy Moth
ing But the Truth" brought forth
bursts of laughter and the people of
Maysville are still laughing over the
real comedy of these artists. Sundays
program was the highest class pro-
gram of the entire week. Miss Isabelle
Christian, prima dona of the Chicago
Grand Opera Company's recital on
Sunday evening was very pleasing to
the lovers of high class music while
her supporting artists were said to be
masters of their instruments.
DR.. Wells lecture on do the Dead
Speak" on Sunday afternoon was a fair
discussion of spiritualism and pleased
many. The Sunday crowds were enor-
nous and In the future there will be
no Sunday programs but seven full
week days will be given instead.
The chautauqua will come to close
this evening with a concert by the
Welsh Glee Singers and Herbert Leon
Cope's famous lecture on Family
Remedies" 1t is quite fitting that the
chautauqua should close with this
number for it will appeal to everyone
and those who fail to hear Cope will
miss the one big feature Of the whole
week. 1t was Cope who was labeled
xiii the Blues Cope by the soldiers
in Europe. He is humorist of the
Bill Nye type and will produce laugh
second for two hours.
Whether or not Maysville will have
chautauqua in 1921 will probably be
determined tonight. Opportunity to
sign pledges has been given the people
since Saturday and as yet there have
not been enough pledges made to jus.
tify the guarantors to arrange for an.
other program, for next year but it is
thought that by tonight the guarantee
will be made up. The people have
shown fine chautauqua spirit
throughout the week and they have in.
dicated that they want the chautau.
qua again next year.

organization. The departments adviccs
showed that Bolshevism as n recognized
mode Of government had ceased to exist in
many parts of Russia. Out OF tho local
communistic governments Mr.. Colby said
he believed there would follow gradual
coalition into representative and demo-
cratic form Of national government.
This statement is decidedly encourage
ing. 1t was inevitable that under the
reign OF terrorism conducted by the exist
Ing government that popular resentment
would manifest itself as much as the force
behind it weakened, and recent military re-
verses fastened this weakening process to
the point Of Importance in the face of re-
sistance to it's edicts. Each successful de-
lance OF tho authorities added fuel to the
flames OF further resistance. and in safe
guarding the advantages thus gained, it
was but natural tina tsome form of COM
munity organization should be created TO
administer the power thus recovered to the
people Hence the growth of local com
munistic units TO replace temporarily the
old Soviet organizations
Since communistic government Is impos-
sible in national government, 1t reasonably
follows that the Weakened intelligence Of
the people will produce capable leadership
to take charge of the situation and In tho
course OF time establish true democratic
representative government, the vital need

strength

Make the Majority IMPRESSIVE

to Virginia something more is involved
III the coming election than the ratin-
cation rejection of the covenant of the
league of nations, something above and be-
You'd approval or disapproval of proposed
amendments to its own Constitution, impor-
tant as are these issues For Virginia, the
votes cast on November may determine
to what extent there will arise the old ra-
cial cleavage, with an aggressive Republ-
can party catering to the negro organiza-
ton for the balance of power. That would
be the repetition OF bit OF history which
few Nirginians would care to see come to
pass.
Yet that Is the political contretemps
that may be threatened. Following ratif-
cation OF the nineteenth amendment, there
is a redoubled activity on the part OF the
Republican organization and freshencd
political zeal on the part of the negro.
Glance at the tickets to be voted one week
from next Tuesday. Senator Glass has a
negro opponent. Montague. Representative
from this, the Third, district Is opposed by
negro, are Bland. in tho First; Drewry,
in the Fourth, and Deal in the Second No
one believes for moment that any ono Of
these negro candidates, least of all them
selves even with the negro women voting
and with the support they may draw from
the white wing Of the party, has tho faint
est chance of election. But the fact that
they arc formal candidates, with places on
tho ticket, helps them to build up and CO.
ment their organization and lay the ground
work for future political activity, an activ-
ity that. happily, has been absent since tho
PRONUNCIATION of the new Constitution.
There Is the peril to Virginia in the COM
ing election. 1t will be we'll for tho voters
to understand Just what it may portend.
The movement can DO checked now better
than 1t ever can again if the present oppor-
tunity is neglected. The remedy Is in the
size Of the Democratic majority. Let it be
so overwhelming that the black and tan OPP
position now so ambitiousy forming will
see its hopelessncss Virginia Democrats
have been iethargic because they have had
little ag;kist which they were called to
give battle Now they face a real chal-
lcnge. They have real State issue on
which future elections may hinge Let them
face the facts frankly and boldly and then
lei them go to the polls and help to make
the majority so impressive that never again
will there be question of political suprem-
acy in Virginia
