The management promises the
best array Of talent that has ever
been shown on the platform here.
The guarantee was much larger
than that of last year and the pro-
gram includes some of the artists
appearing on the c%hautauqua pro.
grams.
The management is in charge of
a committee consisting of Robert
Jones, Arthur Mittelstaedt, Vic Err
landson, Lloyd Thirsk and Howard
Manchester. Mr.. Jones will have
charge of the sale of texts in the
city, MI. GRANDSON Of the small
towns and Mr.. Thirsk the country.
Mr.. Mittelstaedt will conduct
the advertising. and Mr.. Man
chester will have charge of the ar
engagements. subcommittee and
assistants will be appointed later.
Every effort is being made to
make the chautauqua a real sue
cess this year. The Booster club
voted to give its undivided assist
ance. and offered the use of twenty
five cars which will take the ticket
sellers out in the country and to
other towns for the sale of tickets.
While the attractions in the past
have made the expenses of the book
ing, they have not been financial
affairs, nor have they been a great
drawing card for the city. This
year the promoters have endeav-
ored to get both. and the outcome
of their efforts rests with the peo-
pie entirely.
The tent will arrive on Friday
and will be erected bv the Legion
Post who will use it for their meet
ings which they will have Friday
afternoon and evening. The chau-
tauqua' program will start Satur-
day and end on the following

Fourth-there is no danger Of
losing customers. SC that it has no
incentive to be quick and courteous
and obiiging. The main thing is
accuracy, not success. A govern
ment employee has simply nothing
to do with success. HIS one aim
is to avoid mistakes. The less he
does the fewer mistakes.
Sixth-Time is Of no conse-
quence. AS all government en-
loyes are made into clerks, they
come to have a clerks disregad for
time. To clerks as to lawyers de-
lay is a relief and a comfort, the
more the better.
Seventh-The work is imperson-
al. there is very little RESPONSE
billy in a government office. The
clerks have arranged a system
whereby nobody is to blame no mat.
ter what happens.
Eighth-There is no competi-
ton. A government department
is always a monopoly. If it were
not it would soon be thrown aside.
1t has no competitors to battle with
and it can take its ease and do as it
pleases.
Ninth-Routine is put ahead of
service. In government depart.
ments all the workers-if | may use
the word-are tied with red tape.
They are all the slaves Of a system
of procedure.
Tenth-There is no enthusiasm.
If a man stays in a government job
long enough he becomes mummi-
fed. He loses all the energy and
joy Of living that are so necessary to
efficiency and success.
These are a few of the reasons
why naturalization always has
failed and always will fail.
Just put yourself in the place of
these poor government automats.
No matter how able you are, how
could you be efficient if you had:
N hope Of profits.
No fear failure.
No competitors. No customers.
No reason to hurry. and no dang.
er of being found out.
Naturalization is not only a de-
stroyer Of trade and commerce.
1t is not only a coral reef built
across the harbor of prosperity.
1t is worse 1t is far worse. 1t
is a destroyer of men. 1t takes an
able man and grinds him down un-
til he is a clerical drudge.
It lowers the spirit and hardi-
hood of a nation. 1t pauperizs.
1t dulls the mind and benumbs the
feelings. It changes lions into
rabbits. What could be worse?
