THE CHAUTAUQUA
Clinton’s annual Chautauqua, open
ing this afternoon, will doubtless be
attended by large crowds as hereto
fore, because our people have long ago
learned the worth wholeness of the in
stitution. The program promises to fee
up to the usual Redpath high stan
dard and will afford entertainment to
suit all tastes.
The Chuatauqua appearing here an
nually, should always be given a hear
ty support. It renders a community
service of inestimable value. It is a
powerful agency to instruct and to
inspire. Clintonians should be pleased,
and prize the fact, that our city has
a berth cn the largest and strongest
Chautauqua circuit in the United
States. ^

MOTHER’S DAY
CHEAP POWER NEEDED
The greatest force back of indus
trial development is electrical power.
Where we find ample cheap power for
manufacturing purposes, we find in
dustrial expansion, 'the city or com
munity that refuses to provide cheap
power for prospective new-comers,
hasn’t a chance in the world to go for
ward. but on the other hand is bound
to suffer from a lack of new indus
tries and pay-foils. #
Clinton was fortunate a few years
ago in bringing hydro-electric power
•nto our community. Before that time,
power users had been charged exhor-
blt&nt rates. This meant that new
plants or enterprises of various kinds,
with any intention or tendency to lo
cate here, were driven away and that
other places have profited over us.'
Now that we have this abundance of
cheap power made possible by the
coming of the Southern Power com
pany linds, we should capitalize on this
asset and put on a campaign to at
tract and induce new enterprises. The
increase of power consumption on the
part of the city, means a lowering of
the already low rates the city is now
paying. In other words, the more pow
er our city uses, the cheaper it can be
bought on its sliding scale contract.
Manufacturing enterprises build towns,
pay-rolls create profitable business,
and cheap power \9 the outstanding
peiquisite in this industrial develop
ment which the South and this partic
ular sectiom is expecting within the
next few years.
The power question has been before
the city council recently but. thus far
no reductions have been made in the
manufacturing rates, though it is our
opinion that such should be done. It
is noted, however, that the rates

Therefore, let us honor the moth

would honor her by remembering her

a new vis ; on of the love we must give;
we recall her unnumbered services to

others as she served us. We think of
her infinite patience and are lifted
by the resolve t» be
her farth!
and in our hearts the
torch of unquenchable desire for good
is lighted from the steady flame of
her soul.
Isn’t it a pleasant thing to think
that we commemorate Mother’s Day
by wearing a flower; by going to
church; by doing and thinking kindly
things! The very manner of our ob
servance expresses Mother—her love

Dr. Frank Crane Says—
I cannot count the many times
You’ve ministered to me.
Nor can I number all the joys
Your love has helped me see;
I cannot count youty4ender smiles.
Nor tears that you have shed,
'No more than I can count the prayers
That for me you’ve said.
But though there a thousand things
That I can ne’er repay.
My life, my heart, my love is yours.
Dear Mother Mine, today.

unpopular elements
being highly moral and goofi is
that we try to make other people good.
Nobody objects to a man’s being as
righteous as he would like to be; they
object when that man tries to make
others righteous. There is one thing
dearer to the human soul than doing
right; it is doing as it pleases.
Regulating people and telling them
not to do things may gratify our own
vanity and secure immediate obedi
ence. but it is a poor way bo improve
people.
If you bring up little Willie accord
ing to all the rules of child breeding,
if you keep him always carefully re
moved from temptation and preserve
him, as it were, in syrup until he is
twenty-one and then turn him loose,
he will probably fall before some goo-
goo-eyed charmer before he has gone
around the block.
The surest way to learn and to grow
ir. this world is to make your own mis
takes and suffer the penalty of them.
Only when we have erred and suffer
ed for it do we learn thoroughly not
it* err. If you tell people to go
straight, some spirit of independence
in them will lead them to violate your
instructions.
One of he things man finds out as
commissions of relief and reconstruc
tion under leadership of independent
and able citizens.
“Three commissions are not only un
dertaking to co-ordinate the state with
the national agencies in emergency
questions but are at once organizing
in every town and county to determine
the need and the method of reconstruc
tion. Our g^eat federal departments
will support them with their represen
tatives and skill. The Red Cross has
app inted one of its members to act
upon the commissions to co-ordinate
the work and support.
“The people of the South are dem
onstrating daily their courage and
their ability.
“No man can charge the fate of
thes: unfortunate people to any fail
ure upon their own part. Their bur
den is an appeal to the charity of their
cour cry men. Our country has been
grcr.tly blessed by Almighty God.
Mor} millions of our homes tonight
rest without fear of the health and
life of our little ones than in any na
tion in the world.
“Tut a catastrophe has come to the
peoj le of our South.
“\7e, the American people, have
crea:ed a great national organization
that should ever be ready for great
gencies. The American Naional
Cross is that organization, and
thus, your organization, is doing its
duty effectively and efficiently. It is

your great heart*

port that it shall not fail.”
