CHAUTAUQUA' WEEK HERE IS PLEASING The chautauqua week has been a very enjoyable one. It is the best the Redpath has given us and we be lieve has been appreciated by the people, yet it is doubtful if a con tract will be signed for another sea son. This is not from, any lack of appreciation of the merits or edu cational value of the chautauqua, but rather because of a ,public feel ing that it is not fair to demand a guaarntee of attendance but that the entertainment a ould be of a nature to stand upon its merits. In other words, if the chautauqua can not draw an audience sufficient to make it profitable to stand on its feet it loses its educational value to the community. While this may not be altogether true, there is some logic in it, although it we applied the same principle to many of the valued institutions we would not have them. A few citizens of Covington have borne the expense of the cahutauqua for several seasons and have found little co-operation or encouragement and have stood some criticism. Under the circumstances they havE refused to shoulder the responsibility longer and the question of a return to Covington next year, put by the chautauqua people Thursday even ing at the performance of "Nothing But the Truth," was not satisfac torily answered by the pledge of tickets, Something over two hun dred tickets were pledged. This de lightful little comedy was presented in an exceedingly creditable manner and was undoubtedly -worth the price of a season ticket. But all the enjoyment of .h3 evening failed to bring the response desired for a re turn of the chautauqua on a guar antee basis. At this writing there is little encouragement, and we sincere ly regret it.
