social order. In America seventy pei
cent only are educated to the stand
ard of child of fourteen. The Eu
ropean standards are lower and the
Asiatics are almost in total igno
rance.
The great majority are then the
colored peoples who are looking OF
with jealousy while the white races
are in the tolls of reconstruction
The brute instinct is aflame and the
life of civilized nations is in peril
DR.. Loveland said that he was not an
alarmist, but that he saw impending
storm clouds on the political horizon
which only the enlightened world
could subdue. This must be brought
about with the education OF the
masses, not the college cult. but the
fundamentals of public education. He
said that our public men and women
should turn their attention. not to
higher education Gust what The
Commercial has been suggesting for
some time) but to the elimination of
ignorance in the United States and
in all other English and Latin coun-
tries. He emphasized the policing
of the seas and the protection of the
allied governments. We are sure he
did not mean in this the rivalry in
national armament, which suggests
war instead of peace, but simply the
policing of the seas and the protec-
ton of maritime service.
DR.. Loveland took up the question
of the social evils at great length and
vice as an ally of ignorance in the
present upheaval. He referred to the
contamination of the German en-
peror and his insane spirit which led
to the great European war.
At the evening hour the comedy,
"The Man From Home" was pre-
sented on the chautauqua platform.
Some of the people in the cast were
seen here before in Nothing But the
Truth" A large audience was pres
ent and the play was enjoyed thoroly.
This is a story written by Booth
Harrington, depicting the machina-
lions of fortune-hunting family,
posing as English aristocrats. The
cast was good one and the comedy
situations involved a Kokomo, Ind,
lawyer and politician who finally ex-
tracts the innocent fiancee from the
clutches of the scapegraces and takes
her back to ''Indianny" as his bride.
That is, he is supposed to do this, for
the curtain falls before he has
chance to pour out his passion
There was no disappointment in
this play. Some years ago "The Man
From Home" had a record run In
New York. 1t is one of the high
comedy successes, human-interest|
story, purely American and true as
a literary and dramatic product. The
Daniel Pike of Erville Anderson was
forceful and popular character, but
by no means unimportant were the
others Of the entire cast. Redfield
Clarke as the Grand Duke was par
ticularly effective in the native ele-
ment of a Russian nobleman, i'm
posing in person and character. But |
one OF the most charming characters |
we have seen away from the foot
lights of the metropolis is the Ethel |
Granger-Simphon of Miss Leonard |
She seems to have all the personal |
graces of an accomplished actresswith
the addition of an early training un-
der some master producing mind,
such as we now have in David Belas-
co. Her work is a refined art. She
1issolves in the character like true
artist and gives us the living embodi-
nent of the authors creation.
The chautauqua made no mistake

On Tuesday, the closing day of the
Wallace Bruce Ans

eturned in recital of the works of
he Hoosier poet. The Davis sisters
Ilso appeared on the afternoon pro-
ram, and 1t was another chautauqua
ccasion in which very large num-
Ter of people were interested. The
york of Mr.. Amsbary is always of
he very best class and he brings us
his year great deal of incident and
eminiscence surrounding the life of
liley, man whose name Is house,
old word in American literature.
he recital was also varied and in
eresting.
The Davis sisters gave us a popu-
ar recital on the mellophone and
uegel horn, including selections
-om Trovatore. Lucia, and the more
amiliar melodies of local and ma
onal character. 1t was all highly
rtistic and pleasing.
The last number was Ralph Bing-
