Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1922-07-27

But for the fact that the Chautau-
qua management made the engage
ment with Hon. Simeon d. Fess
many months ago it would be i'm
possible to get such busy man in
to Morgan county at all just now, on
the eve of the primary, but Fess is 9
man of his word, and he will be al
Chautauqua as advertised. How
ever, it has been felt advisable and
proper by the management that Mr.
Fess be allowed to change his date
here, out of fairness to him.
About two weeks ago the Cuya-
hoga county Republican committee
began to bring every possible in
fluence to bear on Mr.. Fess and his
manager to have Mr.. Fess speak at
the big Repu blican rally at Euclid
Beach park on Saturday night. July
20. Fess informed them he had a
previous engagement, but mo
would not do for an answer. They
made the pressure so strong that
DIR. Fess at last decided to ask the
local Chautauqua management if it
were possible to release him from
his engagement for July %, provid-
ing he would come to McConnels-
vile and deliver his address on the
following Saturday, Aug. s.
Though they, of course. were
loath to change their opening day
speaker. they consented to the
change and Ohio's eloquent con-
gresham will be here one week
later than originally annodnced.
The change will not affect the
time of opening, which will be Sat
urday afternoon, July %, at the
hour announced in the literature. 1t
is late to secure another public man
for that date, but one or two invita-
tions have been extended. and
should they not be accepted, then
DR.. Charles A. Gage, platform man
ager, will open the assembly by Civ
ing a lecture, probably the one
scheduled for Aug. 5. In other
words, he and Fess will just change
dates unless arrangements are made
in the meantime for another speaker
for next Saturday afternoon.

"Rhesa"

The man who has as good a story to
tell as has Walter Bliss Newgeon. author
Of "Rhesa" (Raymond). and who can
hold the interest of his readers despite
a cumbersome adjective style deserves
credit.
The bOok-a story of adventure. intri-
que and love in ancient times-has all
the excitement and interest that could be
desired in a novel of the present day.
But the style in which it is written is al
most-not quite-enough to discourage
even the gentle reader.
THE noble horse on which the young
man sat- he says, was a jet black stall
lion of beautiful shape and graceful car
rage. The slender limbs. the shapely
head, the delicate. sensitive ears, signi-
fed an animal of the finest breed-a king
of his race. His shapely head was held
high, his neck proudly arched, and at
each step his delicate feet were raised
with conscious pride" And in just
such an exhaustive way is described ev-
erything that has or has not anything to
do with the story.
Babylon in all its glory forms the set
ting for the brilliant tale. One does not
miss the automobile-there is the racing
much as it is today. Princes and prison
chariot.

But Cambridge didn't culture Jim-it

Jim is a real hero big and awkward,
but brave and true to his ideals. He was
not only a sympathizer of the downtrod-
den working men, he was of them.
The first paragraph Of the book con-
vinces the reader that its writer has a
different way Of saying things. Her
style is charmingly unlike what We are
used to.
Telling of the changes that Jim's faith
er's drinking brought on the Barton
household, she says:
Nothing was more normal to Jim
than the appearance and disappearance
Of furniture. Washstands foated in and
out of rooms. Sofas precariously fur
