PERSONAL APPEAL.

To my Friends:
At this time it looks as though the
sale Of season tickets for this years
chautauqua would fall far short of the
amount necessary to meet the guaran-
tee given the chautauqua company
Many who were expected to purchase
tickets have not done so, and I would
deem 1t special favor if my friends,
as many as can possibly do so, would
buy at least one season ticket. By do
Ing this 1t will not be necessary for the
guarantors to make up deficit. This
years program is good one and all
who attend will be well entertained

CHAUTAUQUA TENT
SHELTERS CROWD IN
TERRIFIC RAIN STORM
Opening Days Program Of Maysvllle
Chautanqua Is Considered Good
Large Crowds Despite the
Rainy Weather.

Maysville's 1920 chautauqua started
off we'll Tuesday despite the threaten
ing weather at the afternoon hour and
the terrific rain storm at the night
session. If the first days program is a
fair sample of the entire weeks Offer
ings, Maysville people are assured of
a really good progrom.
The Swiss singers gave very de-
lifhtful program at afternoon session
and at night their prelude was excep-
tionally good, They are above the ord
mary and seemed to please the audi
ence we'll. Rev. Father Watt, of Lon
don, gave a really great after-the-war
lecture at night and had 1t not been
for the several Interruptions because
of the rain, his lecture might have
been much better. Those who heard
him would be glad to hear him again
when he would not be interrupted.
Today's program is music by a juve'
nile trio from Lincoln, Nebraska, Q
lecture in the afternoon by DR.. Vaughn
former pastor in the stock yards dis
trict of Chicago, and tonight Davis, the
magician, who needs no commentator
in Maysville, will entertain the chau
tauquans.
Season tickets are still being sold b,
the local committee and will be sole
until after the program on Saturday
Those who have not yet made thei
purchases should do so today. TIL,
committee is yet below its suarante
and these business men who hav,
stood behind the chautauQua from
year to year should have the supper
of the citizenship of Maysville an,
Mason county. Buy a ticket today. |
you have one for yourself, buy CO.
for friend
Thursdays program is big on
with Miss Mildred Clemens, Mar
Twains cousin, and her band of Ha
waiian singers and players. Jerom
Davis will also speak on Russia at tn
afternoon hour.

OHIO REPUBLICANS
FEEL Confident
over ELECTION
Republicans OF Buckeye State Say the
Election of Senator Harding Is
Is Assured With COx's Nom.
nation.

Columbus, Ohio, July Z. - Ohio Re-
publicans cordially welcome the nom
ination Of Governor James NJ. Cox, for
it means "a sweeping victory for the
Republicans in Ohio" says a state
ment issued at Republican state head
quarters.
The statement marks the opening of
the fight that will be made in this state
between Governor Cox and Senator
Warren G.. Harding, both Ohioans for
the vote Of Ohio.
"The Republicans of Ohio most cor
daily welcome the nomination for the
Presidency on the Democratic ticket of
Governor James Cox" says the state
ment.
For the first time in the history of
the union, single state has provided
the nominee Of both leading parties for
this great Office. 1t is high honor
which this year has come to the Buck
eye state.
"The nomination of Governor Cox
means sweeping victory in Ohio this
year for Senator Harding.
"The record of Mr.. Cox as a vote
winner gives nothing whatever to be
feared by the Rpublican ticket; it is
| nathan a oouca FOR onporatu1otion Tn
no year in which he has been a candi-
date before the public of Ohio has Mr..
Cox faced ,as he does this year, unit
ed Republican party, without disaf-
fection Of special interests.
"In 1912 Mr.. Cox was elected Gov
ernor simply because of division in
the Republican ranks, receiving a
minority vote. In 1914 he was defeated.
Senator Harding, in the same election,
received plurality of 1O2,S7S votes.
I'm 1916, running on the same ticket
with President Wilson, Mr.. Cox ran
$4,000 votes behind the President, and
barely crept through because of an.
eleventh-hour appeal of special in
terest to its constituency in his behalf.
In 1918, only the support of special
issue reelected him by slight ma
iority.
In this election he will face no divi-
sion of such grounds, but will face it
within his own party.
Seldom in the history of Republi
canism in Ohio has the party faced
campaign as confidently as now, view
ing the comparative records of Gov
ernor Cox and Senator Harding"

CLEMENCEAU'S DEFEAT.

Nothing IN the stormy career OF Georges
Clemenceau is moro dramatic than his
unexpected defeat for the Presidency of
France unexpected, at least, so far rs
opinion on this side Of the Atlantic is
concerned, whatever may have been the
feeling within the inner circle of French
politics
II is the more startling in view of the
verdict of the recent French elections,
which were generally accepted as an over
whelming vote Of confidence IN the Clemen
ceau government
The defeat of Clcmenceau for President
reflects no credit ON France. The Prcsi
dent is largely hgurehead and tho
Presidency Is not the most desirable office
in the world. but il would have crowned
the career Of man to whom, regardless
Of shortcomings and temperamental de-
fcctS, the French Republic owes debt OF
gratitude that can never bo paid It was
the lndomltable courage Of Clemenceau
that carried the nation through tho last
phase Of the war, and throughout the
world he is looked upon As the very en-
bodlmcnt Of French victory.
Had tho Presidency been denied to
Clcmcnccau because of q conflict of opinion
over French policy his defeat would he
understandable; but II is apparent that
nothing more Creditahlc than comhIna-
tion of personal and political enemies
barred the door.
The old tiger has been beaten at tlmc
when France would have honored herself
hv giving him the wreath of the Presidency
but in victory or defeat he will remain the
typc-Frcnchman Of his day, the pcrsonifi-
cation of the cmbattlcd republic.

Good Advice to Negroes.

The Advocate, a weekly publication
devoted to the interests of the Negro
population of Delaware, has just been
started in this city, the first number APP
pearing on Saturday. 1t is a very pre-
sentable exhibit of good newspaper ideas,
and in its editorial comment expresses
sincere desire for the practical advance
ment of the colorcd people of Delaware.
Robert j. Nelson is editor and publisher,
and Arthur p Chippey associate editor.
One of the leading editorials in this
initial issue of The Advocate is headed
Delaware Negro's Opportunity, and
is devoted TO consideration of the educa-
tional system long IN operation IN this
State for the instruction of Negro chill
dren. 1t reviews the gross inctfclencies,
in respect of buildings and facilities, with
which this system has been compelled to
contend for many years, and naturally
reverts TO the recent splendid gift OF money
by MIR. Pierre =. du Pont for the benefit
of Negro schools IN Delaware. Recog-
nizing the practical value of this gift,
which il realizes will provide means Tor
providing school buildings for Colored
children which shall be the envy oi
every State in the Union" the editorial
adds: The greatest factor, however, IN
the plans success, must be supplied by
the colored people themselves. Buildings
aud laws cannot make good schools.
These are the creation of those who proht
by them just what the present promising
conditions mean to the colored race is
within the hands Of the colored people
Here is sound advice, which should he
seriously considered by the colored people
OF Delaware, especially by those who have
been accepted as, or have assumed TO he,
leaders among them. In the way Of edu-
cation, to say nothing OF other matters OF
little attention has been
paid to the material interests especially
the educational interests, of the Negroes OF
Delaware. Their friends Of loudcst pro- |
fcssion have accepted valuable taVors /
from them, but have gwen them nothing !
but husks in return. MIR. Pierre ). du I
Pont. without aspiring IN the remotcst
icgrcc to be a recipient Of any KIND oi /
'ayor from them. has made gift Of money
md set other plans afoot that will greatly
advance their educational interest bypro-
riding good and efficient schools for their
hildrcn throughout the State.
Now It is up t. the Negroes ofDclaware
q take full advantage Of this splendid
pportunity; to do their part towards
making the new movement complete

ions. This is all, ne take il. that Mr

Just Folks
By Edgar A. Guest.
SMILE.

SMILE.
The good Lord understood us when he
taught us how to smile,
He knew we couldn't stand IL to be solemn
all the while;
lie knew He'd have to shape us so that
when our hearts were gay,
We could let our ncighbors know 1T IN a
quick and easy way.
So He touched the lips of Adam and he
touched the lips of Eve,
And He said: "Let these be solemn when
your sorrows make you grleve,
But when all If well in Eden and your life
seems much worth while,
Let your faces wear the glory and the sum
light OF smile.
Teach the symbol 10 your children, pass
it down throughout the years,
They shall know their share of sadness
and shall weep their share OF tears;
But forever through the ages men shall
prove their faith IN Me
BY the smile upon their faces when their
hearts are trouble-free
The good Lord understood us WHEN He
sent Ills down to earth,
lie knew our need for laughter and for
happy signs of mirth
lie knew we couldn't stand IT TO be solemn
all the while,
But must share our JOY with others-so
lie taught us how To smile.
