The way to build uf Dallas is to fat
onize Dallas people. '
THE CHAUTAUQUA.
But one more day remains of the
present Chautauqua session. That it
lias been a success is the verdict of
every man, woman and child who has
witnessed the programs, and that we
must have it again in 1914 is the com
mon opinion. The men who made the
present Chautauqua possible for Dal
las are entitled to the thanks of ev
ery one. They should not be asked
to assume the additional burden,
alone, for the coming year. Others
who have heard and have profited by
the intellectual and musical treats at
the big tent in the city park, should
assist in bringing this assembly to
Dallas for next summer. And that
they will do it, The Observer stead
fastly believes. It has been the best
and the most entertaining week that
the people of Dallas have experienced,
and all are loud in their praise of the
occasion.
But, with Dallas, as with all other
towns, or cities, the Chautauqua sys
tem demands a guarantee. They have
vo trouble in flndinig communities
which want the assembly, and who
only ask that they be given the same
opportunity to make good on a guar
antee that Dallas has been offered.
- But the point is, that Dallas people
want the Chautauqua and they want
it to become a permanent institution
here, just as the people of other com
munities want it to become perma
nent there. The Chautauqua is a
popular idea and seldom has a com
munity tried the plan that did not
clamor for a repetition. The Ob
server believes that the Dallas Chau
tauqua will in time become one of
the most popular forms of summer
entertainments that this section has
ever experienced and if the public
spirited and progressive citizens of
this community, and the others out
side the city, shall succeed in their
present endeavor to bring it here for
!)14, they will have laid the founda
tion for one of the greatest services
that they can possibly render to man
kind. The Chautauqua idea is an educa
tional institution. It is for the up
lift and the betterment of mind and
body. It appeals to all classes and
to all ages. The ten-year old boy and
the gray-haired man may each find
something in every entertainment
that will prove a guiding star to liet
ter and to nobler things. It brings
to us, within easy and inexpensive
reach, a collection of the most accom
plished musicians and entertaining
lecturers, that we could not hope to
see or hear under ordinary conditions.
It is a splendid outing for the man
with business cares, for the playful
elnlil and the youth of our community.
Dallas is indeed fortunate in having
it, and now that the city has the op
portunity we must not let it pass, to
make the affair a feature of our
summer season. Everybody is en
thused, men and women and children
are talking "Chautauqua" and it is
the general theme of conversation in
ollice and store. It is a great and
glorious occasion aixi that arrange
ments will be made to make it per
manent for this city we lxliovo. Ai

lie done, the time is coming when the
city park will be filled with tent,
temxrarv homes of jicople from al
over the countv, who will make the
Dallas Chautauqua their annual out
ing, and who will sjk-iuI a profitable
season in tins city every succeeding
year.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall 's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medieal fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu
tion and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.
