Mil. PAINE PRESIDENT.
II. E Pnlnu called the meeting to or
eler and Intioduced the chairman, Rev.

less than two minutes.
He lemailcul that anvthlng ealou
l.i teil to instil patiiotlsm In the

national government just now when
that government was on the tlueshold
of vwiild-wldo activity.
MAJOR WINT'S REMARKS.
Major Wint remarked that the un-glo-S
ixon was a natui.il leader of men,
a leadu of all otluu nations. His cap
acity ns such had been shown In the
gi.ind lesults of Client Hillain's tol
ouiitl system. The United States bad
found itself Involved in the same re
sponsibilities and Its success depended
laigely on political education. The
canacltv to govern and administer was
Inhcient In the Ameilcan boy. he said,
and he hoped it would be nuiluied, as
he would have, occasion to make usa of
his talent In a few eais. the s line
kind of talent that was possessed by
the English.
At the conclusion of his lemaiks, the
audience anise and gave Major Wint
the Chautauqua salute 'it the sugges
tion of Rev. Robett U. V. Pierce, the
pastor, who occupied a seat em the
platfoun
Dr. Heath spoke bi lolly and the

Major Wlnt is on sick leave. He goes

rl.m. He hopes to be able to join his
command In the spiing.
