County Institute
Entertainments,
County Superintendent Evans
Has Provided a Course That
Will Appeal to All.
Russel Conwell is Coming.
Although the Teachers Lecture
Course at the Institute last year was
generally pronounced a success, it is
our opinion that the course this year
will meet with still greater popular-
ity, owing to the fact that a higher
class of lectures and entertainments
has been secured. Last year demon
strated the advisability of havintr
four evenings instead of three as was
the custom before; but it has been
thought wise to include in these
two concerts instead of one, which
arrangements will give us two lec
tures also.
The talent secured is the best
available; each number was selected
early in the year while there was
opportunity to obtain the best. The
cost of this course will be consider
ably above the cost last year, while
the price of course tickets will be
the same, viz: $1.50 for course tick
ets and 50 cents for single adinis
sion. County papers will announce
the time for the opening of the
board at S. R. Bidleman's store.
We are confident that manv
hearts will beat just a little stronger
when they read that Russel H. Con
well will lecture on Monday night.
Mr. Conwell has been here before
and many of his great thoughts still
live in our hearts as we think of the
"Acres of Diamonds" he so effectu
ally presented to our view. His
subject this year will be "The
Angel's Lily." Your superintend
ent has heard this masterpiece and
can vouch for its being fully as
profitable and entertaining as' 'Acres
of Diamonds." Russell H. Con
well has addressed more people than
any other man living. He has been
on the lecture platform thirty-seven
years, and averaged two hundred
lectures a year. He prepared fifteen
popular lectures before he was
thirty years old.
On Tuesday evening we shall
have the rare privilege of hearing
the Chicago Glee Club, a male
quartet assisted by Miss Irene Skin
ner, a reader and accompanist of
ability. The program they offer is
original in style and something out
of the beaten path. Songs in action
and costume are strong features.
The repertoire of the quartet is very
extensive, and includes the best
selectioas of standard secular and
sacred music, together with folk,
sensational, plantation and humor
ous songs. In perfect balance, toI
urae of sound, sweet and effective
singing, the quartet is unsurpassed,
and the solo work of the highest
order.
On Wednesday evening the
second lecture ol the course will be
given by Frank Dixon, a brother of
Thomas Dixon, whom many re
member in. his lecture, "Backbone."
The subject of the evening is one
that is most timely and interesting
in these days of social discontent.
RELIABLE
THE COLOMBIAN
W e are confident that when you
hear Dixon ou "The Threat of
Socialism" you will feel highly
gratified.
Of his brother, Thomas Dixon
says: "For years I have urged my
brother, Frank Dixon, of Hartford,
to enter the Lyceum field. He has
a great lecture on "The Threat of
Socialism." This is the one burn
ing question of the century. Its in
fluence is changing the character of
our government, unsettling the
home tradition, and testing the
moral fibre of that Anglo-Saxon in
dividualism that has made America
a colossal power. He has made this
a life study, and that with warmest
sympathy for those who toil. His
lecture is not an academic discus
sion of social theory, in which the
general public has but little interest,
but a presentation of the vital issues
of modern civilization which affect
profoundly the destiny of every liv
ing man. 111s truths are vivia as
lightning flashes, and his audience
feels that the foundations of indi
vimta 1 ana national character are
being laid bare. He is tljquent.
magnetic, thoughtful, and will hold
his audience lroni start to finish."
The last evening event of the
course will be a
concert given by
the Katharine Ridgeway Concert
Company. We cannot imagine a'ny
thing in this line quite as fine as
this company. They are not strang
ers to all of us, altho it has been
several years since they were here,
and we shall be glad to renew pleas
ant memories of the past. Although
this is the last event, you will not
be willing to call it the least. Miss
Ridgeway grows iu popularity every
year, ana the courses which have
had her every season since her first
appearance in Lyceum work are
again engaging her. As to her
company, we believe that we this
year present the most popular and
strongest support she has ever had.
Mr. Krr is a most popular basso,
and will be remembered by many as
the one who so greatly pleased his
audiences two seasons ago while
traveling with Miss Ridgeway,
Miss Brewster is a western girl
wno nas an exceptional soprano
.
voice and a most pleasing stage
presence, and we believe she will
simply captivate every audience be
fore which she appears.
Mr. Lamberson, pianist and ac
companist for the company, has re
cently teturned from studying
abroad.
We have no apologies to offer for
this course. Every effort has been
made to secure the b;st why should
we not have the best ? It is costing
us more, but we feel that conditions
warrant a lecture 'course of which
the teachers and friends of education
may feel proud, W. W. Evans.

An Industrial Crisis
The discharge of several thou
sand men and the closing of several
mills by the steel trust together
with great reductions in shop crew
by large railroad systems does not
auger well for a continuance of our
boasted prosperity. Exports to
foreign countries show a large fall
ing off from those of last year, due
to the prevailing hard times in
Europe. Hard limes in Europe
are driving her working people to
emigrate to this country at the rate
of a million a year; so that not only
are the opportunities of empioy
ment becoming less in America;
but the competition bmong the
worker for these opportunities be
comes more intense with every
shipload of immigrants landed upon
our shores. And still the immigra
tion agents of American corpora
tioj are scouring foreign countries
for worktngmen to send here, hold
ing out rosy prospects of wealth to
be gained in the "land of the free."
It indications count for anything,
we in America are none too far
away from the condition of in
dustrial depression from which the
immigrants are fleeing, ;and when
the crash comes the capitalists will
have on their hands a problem of lack
of employment lor labor that will
shake the foundations of capitalism
Just now it' is fashionable to advo
cate restricted immigration; but even
if there never werean immigrant
to come to the Uhited States, it
would in no way solve the periodic
ally acute unemployed problem,
which is due to the creation by the
workers ot a vast surplus of wealth
which the capitalists connot dis
pose of. When the surplus has ac
cumulated to unwieldly size it is
called overproduction, panic or
crisis, and those whose labor creat
ed the surplus go hungry or patron
ize free soup kitchens. Exchange
