away from home, among strangers,
as he had lived His wife did not
reach his bedside until two hours af
ter he had passed away.
Lou j Beauchamp probably travel
ed more than 100000 miles during
his lifetime He had lectured more
than 10000 times. He had been a
pioneer ia temperance work and at
one time1was even talked of as the
Prohibition cand idate for president.
He was Rotarian, an Elk and it is
pointed out that his life stood for the
best that is in both Of these organ
izations.
Beauchamp was a giant in mental
and moral strength. His strength
and his weakness made him powerful
some of his acts were hard to fat
HON and many of his ways were not
understandable but he was power
because he talked to people in small
towns, because he did not mince

cHAUTAuoUA's GOLDEN RULES

/. Applaud vigorously what you
like. That helps you and the talent.
! 2. Laugh heartily. Laughter
distinguishes you from the beasts.
A hog can grunt, but it takes hap
py human to laugh.
8. Be prompt. 1t isn't fair, IS IT.,
for slow folks to keep the prompt
folks waiting, or to disturb then
by coming in late? If obliged to
come late, then take polite seat in
the rear.
4. God bless the baby! Half the
Chautauqua message is in its be-
half. Give the baby chance.
Leave it at home. Whent you mus
bring it, then sit in the rear and take
it out quickly when it gets noisy.
5. The children, every one of
EN-. should be out with the play
leader during the lecture. If they
stay, let them sit with their parents.
6. Stay to the close. All good
programs keep the best to the end.
All lectures are built to climax. If
YOU you must leave before the end,
then sit in the rear and slipout quiet
~.
Z. To eat candy or peanuts dur
ing a performance is distracting.
s. Sit still. Don't change seats
during a performance.
9. When the tent sides are up it
is painfully distracting to have I'M
easy folks, old or young, passing back
and forth within sight of talent or
audience.
10. The talent are always glad to
shake your hand or trade smiles with
YOU. Your kind or critical word will
help.
IL. The talent will appreciate
your courtesies, but don't offer to
entertain them in order that they may
entertain you. They would like to do
that, but their regular work demands
all their nervous and physical energy
~. Be teachable. Be open
minded If you have old frog notions
that won't stand the searchlight of
up-to-date fact and argument, let
them go. You'll find it a joy and a
profit to rearrange your mental furn-
iture.
IS. Be booster. A knocker is
never happy.
IA Our Community" That
the big word Keep it in mind
YOUR CHAUTAUQUA WILL
BOO IF YOU FOLLOW THESE
GOLDEN RULES.

Miller Denies Claim
Welfare Laws Are
Work of Democrats
Republican Party Led the
Way i'm This Legislation,
He Tells Women's Conn
mittee at Hotel Meeting

Judge Nathan L. Miller, Republican
candidate for Governor, addressing the
weekly forum of the Republican
Women's State Executive Committee at
the Hotel Vanderbilt yesterday after
noon, assailed the Democrats for the
declaration made in their platform that
the Democrats were responsible for the
majority of social welfare and labor
laws.
Judge Miller was introduced by Ma
talie Couch, who headed delegation
Of seventy-ive women from Rockland
County. Opening his address, the
speaker said:
1T is matter of the deepest gratif-
cation to the Republicans that the
women of the state are showing the in
terest in politics which they are. The
men have not yet awakened, and they
will do we'll when they do to emulate
the efforts of the Republican women"
Passing to the subject of his ad-
dress, "The Republican Party and So
cial Welfare Legislation" Judge Miller
said: "The state of New York has al
ways led the way in legislation which
promotes social justice and forwards
the social welfare Of the community.
The Republican party has been the
sponsor for the majority of this egis-
| had opportunity to examine a great
many of these laws, and | found that
invariably the only part which Demo-
cratic lawmakers have had in the pas
sage of these bills has been to amend
them.
"Yet if you read the Democratic
platform you will discover that Il great
deal of space is given up to the ques-
tion of how much the Democrats have
done along the lines OF social reform.
From this you see how unwise it would
to be trust the Democratic promises
for the future.
81 would like to go on record at
this time as saying that | will not ac-
cept all legislation simply because it
happens to be marked Labor Reform
or Social Welfare" he continued
Perfection" Judge Miller concluded,
"will not be reached through the pas
sage of some minimum wage law or AZ:
eight-hour day, but by rule which
will destroy the inequality which exists
between particular groups of the cleo
torate. The Republican party has a
special appeal to those women who are
vitally interested in good laws and
social reform, and the Republican party
in it's willingness to seek this per-
fection will always appeal to the
maturer judgment of the people"

tives. We are naturally skeptical of
their sudden profession of intention
ito accomplish changes in the govern
mental structure by lawful parIiamen-
tary methods. Time alone will show
whether their professions Of adherence
to a peaceful and lawful parliamentary
program are like false harbor lights
held out to lure the mariner on the
rocks, that the beach combers may
gather the spoil they covet. =,
America owes a profound debt of
gratitude to this body for its cour-
ageous investigation, its clear and un-
answerable presentation of the prin-
ciples, tendencies and attitude Of tnat
party; and to you, fellow members OF
the Assembly, Is due, in my opinion,
most of the credit for that compelling
force which was brought to bear upon
the members of the Socialist party
themselves, under the influence of
which they have removed the badges
Of their outer sabiliments and changed
their written creed, if not their secret
purpose, so as to conform more nearly
to the demands Of an aroused and
largely on the page Of recent history
and your work was we'll done.
Socialists Reply to Sweet
After the session the flee Socialists,
through August Claessens, their leader,
issued the Following statement:
"The statement made by the Speaker
was q review of political trial which
has been branded by the civilized world
as an outrage and a perversion of
democracy. 1t is recitation of
charges which were adequately an
swered during a long trial. Of course,
we cannot deprive the Speaker of the
opportunity to derive for himself and
his associates whatever consolation he
can draw from the embarrassing cip-
cumstances which they have created
After the condemnation by hundreds
of thousands and the constituencies OF
the five Assembly districts, the Speak
er seeks to establish another unique
precedent by acquitting himself.
I'VE stand to-day for Socialism
democracy in industry. This is whore
the Socialist party Of America has al
ways stood. We shall in the future,
as in the past, endeavor @ realize our
goal through the traditional methods
of the Socialist party-education or
ganization and action at the polls.
Those who deny these rights are the
enemies of the American people.
Moreover, we do not seek our vlndlca
tion from our political opponents. We
have received it from the sovereign
people, who, we confidently assert, will
return Socialists in greater number to
the next Legislature"
