faithful devotion of the officers and
committees, speeial credit is due the
president, Mr. A. T. Latta. who for
the past month has practically
given it his sole attention, and it is
to his close attention to details that
much of the pleasure of the assembly
is due. Mr. A. R. Albertus, the
secretary, shared with Mr. Latta
most of the work and is also deserv­
ing of his full share of credit as are
many others, especially C.T.Tupper,
chairman of the advertising com­
mittee and W.I. Carpenter chairman
of the grounds committee.
Owing largely to the inclement
weather of the opening days the
assembly did not pay financially,
but this is seldom the case with any
assembly tne first year, 'and the de­
ficit is so small that ^the result is
satisfactory to the management, and
the stockholders felt encouraged to
hold another one next year.
At the close'of the program on
Tuesday afternoon the annual meet­
ing of the stockholers was held, and
the following directors wpre elect­
ed: G. W. Patterson, Ned Jones,
J. S. Ramage, Wm. Chaney, Frei

fact and the officers cau begin nego­
tiations for the talent at once.
It is gratifying to note the amount
of interest manifested by people
from the neigh ooring town#. Many
of them took stock, and promised id
bring larger delegations to eamp
next year. The date being a full
month earlier the farmers will find
it morei convenient to get away and
a larger attendance from this ele­
ment is also looked for.
The Chautauqua is now a perma-t
nent institution and it is to be hoped
it will be supported ta an extent
that will justify some of the more
necessary permament improvements
Judging from the interest mani­
fested this, year the outlook is very
encouraging, and we shall be greatly
disappointed if the Worthington
Chautauqua does not develope into
one of the best in Minnesota. We
have the grounds, the lake and the
location, and it only requires a con­
tinuance of that harmonious co-ope­
ration which has preVniled this year
to attain the highest aspirations.
The greater part of the program
has been rendered since our last is­
sue. Last Friday afternoon Sunshine

his wonderful lecture,
"Sunshine and Shadows". The
doctor is a living exemplification of

would drop to the greatest depth of

lecture^ Friday 'evening and again
\n Saturday afternoon.
It will be a pleasure to have him
come again.

Tuesday tlie last day was the big
gest day of the Cautauqua,' a* the
programcontained two distinguished
nefmjjps, tho^e of. Senator B. R. Till
miih and Mr. Ernesi Thompson
Mr. Tillman lectured in the
oon, takihg fbr his subject
Thji Railroads and the Trusts*'^
'Senator Tillman had expected to
apea)cou'the "Negro Poblem,-" but
owiQg to his well known radical
Views on His point Prof. Warne, the
platform manager, pevailed on him
to s^eak on the.other subject. Sen­
ator^ Tillman* explained that the
subject was distasteful to him, and
his ^ddreMs showed it, as it was
practically little more than a re
hasH of press reports of the rate bill
witti a few side lights from the sen­
ator's point of view. He opened
by stating that the railroads bad
been having their own way for
many years and that owing to thier
rebate system vicious discrimina
tioni had come to prevail that
were, undermining the industrial
ies of the county. In response
ear demand the house passed
epbtirn bill which was ampli
the. senate^and finally passed.
He artcnsed^Pteeident Roose velt of
flunking on the measure. The rail­
road senators made several ineffec­
tual attempts to play the game, in
which they are experts, "How not
to do it,1' but their schemes were
frustrated by the more patriotic
members of the body. He referred
to the Federal Judges as the servile
tools of railroads, a fact, alas, only
oo true in many cases.
Senator Tillman is a forceful £ut
far trom pleasing speaker, .and
many were greatly disappointed in
his lecture. The greatest, trouble
with him was that he stated a great
many disagreeable truth? that many
didn't like to hear.
Four of the Chautauqua people
who made many friends here were
Prof. C. E. Warne, the platfrm
manager, Prof.Wimberly, the musi­
cal director, Miss Maxon, the reader
nnd physical 'culture teacher, and
Rev. Shaffer, who had charge of
the bible study class. *They dis
charged their respective duies in a
most creditable manner, and their,
work adcel greatly to the enjoy­
ment of the assembly by those who
were camppd on the grounds.

The Real Situation
Six months ago Governor John­
son made a Bpeech from whicii it
was apparent that he 'wm. informed
of gross discriminations and over­
charges practiced by railroads to
the great detriment of the-people-of
the state.
In a recent interview with the St.
Paul Dispatch he said: "I am "con­
vinced that the great body of ship­
pers of our state are not receving
the rates 6f transportation to which
This same thing has been going on
constantly during, .j the:/eighteen
mouths of the Johnson administra­
tion.
What has he done to secure the
shippers the rates to wbich'they are
entitled?
Nothing, i
In reply to a letter from Mr.
Blakely to the board of railroad
commissioners Secretary Clausen is
instructed to say:
"Governor Johnson has never, at
any 'time, in the office of the Com­
mission or at any other place, con­
ferred With or consulted the torn*
missipn or any member thereof in
any matter pertaining to rate ques­
tions or toth£ rail wp ye of this state,
nor has any complaint, either writ­
ten, oral or otherwise come to the
office of the commission from the
Governor regarding the matter of
railroad rates or matters involving
the supervision of the railways of
the state."
In the light of the governor's in­
action. how can. we regard, as
sincere his declaration that he is "in
hearty accord with any movement
looking to* the- betterment of tbe si^
nation," his pledge that "while
governorjhe will endeavor not. only
to secure the enforcement of the
laws of the state" but to secure their,
enforcement in such a manner as
will secure the most lasting perma­
nent benefit to all our pedple, and
hid threat that if it shall be found
that the railroad and. -warehouse
commissions "have been negligent
of duty or, inefficient, it will then be
the duty of thLgoverhor to take the
proper action in the piremises and
have, no hesitation in saying that
I would not shirk any public duty
which might fall upon me."
Fun On The Pike.
One of the departments of the
Minnesota State Fair which may al
ways be depended upon to furnish a
large grist of amusement, is the
Pike, which will be carried on
year much the same as last except
{hat it wilLbe better in every parti­
cular. The Pike occupies the large
enclosure on the west side of the
grounds in the vicinity of the live­
stock department. After entering
its gates one may see a large vari­
ety of free amusements including
a- dare devil bicycle ride and leap,
or a dozen differnt shows covering
a wide ran£e and amusements may
be entered for a small fee. Among
these special shows is Switzerland,
an eleetrical and. scenic spectacle
brought froin the Paris Exposition
a great expense Creation, the Sun
Flower Belles, Katzenjammer
Castle, the wild animal show and
moving piotures from San Francis­
co. to include all that may be seen
on the Pike and to describe the show
with any particularity would re
qurire extended, space. It is
enough to say that the show will be
of high character and that fakes
are rigidly excluded. In every
pavilion comfortable opera chairs
are provided for spectators.
The fair operfs on Monday, Sept.
3d, and continues for one week.
Half fare tickes on all railroads will
be on sale on the Saturday previous
so that all mpy reach the cities for
the great events of thejopening day.
