Five or six hundred people were gathered together, and the niTuir was u pleasantly harmonious combination of church uild nou church people. The exercise were conducted in Mr. Urowu's grore of natural timber on one of the branches of the White rocU. The platform- pnrt of the program 'consisted of nneuturlalnmeiit giVetl by the Sunday School children under the direotioti of Mrs. Spurrier and Mrs. Harvey ltlulr. T)iere wore three drills which attracted general 'approval. Eighteen kitidergurtuerb, each carry ing a ilag performed a number of evo lutions very skillfully considering their age. This was followed by a drill of larger children, in which three girls were draped in the national flag and became the centers of some very pretty movements on the part of a number of boys. The final exhibition was a performance of nine young ladies, three of whom were dressed in red, three in white and three in blue The graceful marchings, counter marchings and posturing of these misses to the acoompanlment of music indicated the arrival of a sane and sensible, celebration of the national .birthday. In addition to, and Interspersed with, these drills were recitations and songs which seemed to please those who were fortunate enough to be seated in front where they could Hear. After the Sunday school entertain ment was over Mr. Gllham and Rev. Rose made short addresses. Of course there was the inevitable picnic, and the small boy had his fire crackers.

CllhaaVs Answer t Stialftr n-' nlijfcs ef Iowa In a recent communication Senator CuminiugH expresses Ills opposition to the formation of a new party. He, however, intimates that the Chicago convention has but little, if any, right to be called a republican convention, and does not question the right of re publicans to refuse allegiance to its candidate. .( So far I agree with the distinguish ed seuHtor. But the senntor seems to think that thero will be a way provid ed in the future for the prevention of the evils that made the lastconvention so inisrepresentative. It is nt this point that I am unable to agree with the senator. The present national committee consists of fiftythroe mem berseach of whom has an equal vote on questions before the committee. Twenty one of these members are from' republican states. Sixteen are from democratic states where there is practically no republican prty, or where the republican party is without hope of an electoral vote. Five of these members are from territories where there are no voters at all. They are the presidential appointees to office. This may be 'said, of most of the members from the democratic states. The republican members of the national committee who represent the republican party in republican states are already equalled by the presidential appointees iu territories and non-republican states. There are eleven states which may bo regarded as more or less doubtful. These doubtful states by joining with the democratic states and territories can absolutely prevent the republicans from the republican -states holding a convention, unless tbey disregard the national committee. This is precisely what was done at Chicago. The na tional committee said that the repu blican states should not hold & con vention unless they came into one in wbioh they were made a hopeless min ority by the action of the national committee. The only way to avoid a like result in the future is for the re publican states to control the national committee, and give to the democratic states and territories only such power in that committee as their republican votes entitle them to. The members from Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Phillinlnes, Alaska, the Dis trict of Columbia, where there arc no votes at all, combined with members from the Southern and the Mormon states where the republican party is in a hopeless minority, under the lead of the New York and Indiana machines said that the only way that the re publicans of Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, M assaobusetts, Wisconsin, California, Kansas, Nebraska, Minne sota, the tnvo Dakotas, Washington and Oregon, which furnish the bulk of the republican votes, could come into the convention, was to come in as part of a minority. In other words, tho democratic states and territories un dertook to run a' republican conven tion. Under tho preseut organization of the national committee, the same fraud will bo perpetrated whenever tho president of the llnlti-d mates. who appoints tho republican commit tee men from these states and terri tories instructs thorn so to do. It has never been dono before until now. But Mr. Taft has done it once, and will do it again if we reelect him president. Chautauqua, July 20th to 28th - two Weeks Each Year For 11.50.
