Closes On Thursday Night
Redpath's chautauqua for the season of 192S will close this Thursday
evening so far as it deals with North
Canton. That it has been an enjoyable and successful one none will deny.
Viewed from every point its duty
would seem to be to safeguard and
fortify established institutions and
industries, keep us in good humor and
educate us along the lines of civilization. In plain words it was a full-
course dinner that even the most
chronic dyspeptic enjoyed without
having to visit the bottle containing
tablets later in the evening.
There was nothing "brassy" about
the lectures or the artists . They were
refined, intelligent people, and that
they appreciated the people in The
Sun's territory is shown by the comments they made to representatives of
this newspaper.
Superintendent Shelby, who looks
after a large public school in Iillinois,
is a success in the role of "grand announcer." He is a polished man of
the world, an excellent mixer and devoted to the cause of improving mankind. Should he ever return to North
Canton he is sure of a warm handclasp.
To select individual numbers for
praise would take too much space in
The Sun. Suffice to say the whole program pleased and satisfied a majority
of the people, and what more can mortals do?

The coming of Granville Jones to
North Canton proved invigorating as
the climate in his beloved Ozark
mountains, and his philosophy of a
HillrBilly is 100 per cent American.
It is the custom in certain sections
of the United States to sneer at
Hill-Billies and the "Men from the
Forks of the Creek," because of the
primitive life they lead, but you
never read that a surgeon, a pathologist and a clergyman got together
where Jones first operited his eyes
and compared notes as the best
means of treating men and women
whose anaemic, under-nourished, dissipated, cynical souls have transmitted those qualities to their bodies, or
vice versa.
Morbidity, pessimism, mild insanity, base habits and kindred abnormalities are practically unknown
along the whole range of the Ozarks,
and when you eat and watched and
listened to Granville Jones and
laughed at hi.^ quips and applauded
his serious sentences you appreciated
what it means to be a real red-
blooded American.
tit*
You heard him tell you, too, that
he has faith in the rising generation,
that much condemned and more misunderstood assemblage of protesting
sjid inquiring young people. He
praised the boys and he praised the
girls, and if lie knew that- such cynics as Mrs. Mildred Wasson, F. Scott
Fitzgerald and Elliott Paul existed
he gave no sign on Friday night.
Mr. Jones doesn't regard modern
youth as rt "horrible example,"
neither does he believe that reverence, refinement and religion have
been replaced by scornful tolerance,
satirical   detachment   and   cynicism.
Having addressed more young people
than any other man in America, and
studied them at close range, he realizes that condemning the so-called
modern youth and maiden is a foolish practice. More mature folks
easily see discrepancies in younger
ones, just, as Jones said, "our
fathers found faults in us," and
their fathers in them.
* t t *
The man from the Ozarks is a firm
believer in the United States, but he
does see danger in the practice of condemning men in public life just because they are public sen-ants. Hysterical, narrow denunciation is unwise. We should leave that to the
radical orator, the parlor bolshevik,
the self-appointed community moral
critic and dictator, and those who
have no beams in their own eyes. 1
have devoted considerable space tc
Granville Jones for the simple reason
that it makes us feel more optimistic
regarding the future to learn from a
man of his broad vision that the boys
and girls of today are just as good
as in the days of our grandfathers.

JAMES R. BROWN IS
CALLED BY DEATH
One of North Canton's Best Beloved Citizens Dies At His
Home On Tuesday Morning
After a Lingering Illness.
BURIAL    THIS    THURSDAY
James R. Brown, 70 years of age,
c-ne of the most widely known and
best liked men in this section of Stark
county, died at his home in North
Canton on Tuesday morning after a
lingering illness which he bore with
the fortitude of real manhood.

a living room. True, every person did
not agree with all of his ideas, but it
is a painful fact that the majority of
rooms are top heavy, and that the
artistic eye wears a bandage of much
thickness. Years ago Harry Lehr
was private secretary to Mrs. John
Jacob Astor, the leader of New York's
social set known as the "Four Hun-'
dred." He asked her permission to
transfer a rose she was wearing to
her hair. The result was startling,
say those in a position to know, and
from that day Lehr became a leader
in the "set" over which Mrs. Astor
reigned as queen. I merely mention
this to prove that the use we make of
opportunity will determine what we
shall be, although not many of us
care to aspire to mere social pumps
while there is real work to be done in
the world.

Edward Tomlinson, Huber W. Hurt,
\V. I... Harding, Ben Arneson, W. B.
Amsbary, and Frank L. Loveland and
others on the program came here to
make people think, to show them that
they are all fitted for the opportunity
and that "getting there" is not a matter of sudden effort. Often it is slow
as trickling waters. But in time it will,
like the waters, gather the momentum
that washes barriers away. Faith that
feels and through feeling leads to better exercise of one's powers is the
motive that helps men and women
succeed, and breaks tlie trails through
what appear it first as forbidding
forests. Harness Plugging and Faith

is a post-graduate course for any
person Willing to pay the price.
For 43 years Mr. Brown lived in
North Canton, and during all that .
time he enjoyed the sincere respect
and confidence of his fellow townsmen. For 43 years he was employed
by the Hoover company and between
"Jim" and The Boss there existed
more than friendship. It more resembled the love of Damon and Pythias.
Mr. Brown was a member of the
Christian church and a regular attendant at the sessions of the Men's Bible
class, taught by W. H. Hoover.
The funeral services will be conducted at 2:00 o'clock in the home by
the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, and burial
will be in Zion cemetery, North Canton, this Thursday.
James R. Brown was the only relative of John Evans in America, and
six of Mr. Evans' sons will act as
pall-bearers: W. J., J. G., O. J., F. M.,
H. G., and R. B.
In his early life he was a soldier in
the English army and saw service in
India and Africa. He was a good conversationalist and his stories of life
i-i those countries were listened to
with much interest by his friends
whom he numbered by the hundreds.
Surviving him are his widow; one
daughter, Miss Ethel Brown, both in
North Canton, and Lloyd C. Brown of
New Brunswick, New Jersey.
He came from sturdy stock that
helped to make the United States
great—Welsh, and he had a Welshman's love for order, loyalty and
decency, and doing-a good turn whenever he could.
May the sod rest lightly o'er the
head of James R. Brow- is the fervent wish of The Sun.

ten.TcK.ys' vacation and tuning up so
that when they return to their respective towns they will be 'able to
'tackle their school labors -with vim
and enthusiasm.
It -was earlv on Monday morning
that Harvey Getz, driving a big "White
truck S 8, the property of the Hoover
compapy, stopped in front of the Community House and took aboard Scout
Master A. L. Geib and nine bright-
eyed, eager kids and their accoutrement. On the invitation of Mr. Geib
a Sun writer went along to see the
camp. At Canton the boys were looked
over by a medical man, pronounced
O. K. and with a number of Scouts
from that city the long journey began.
Hills and Valleys Everywhere
When the Hcover company extended
the courtesy cf the big truck to the
Scouts no mi-jtake was made in sending Harvey Getz along as pilot. IVb
a man's job to navigate that truck
up high hills and down steep slopes,
but 'the former member of the Mar
in*s kept on 5*«b way as calmly as if-:
traveling along Main street. He had
confidence in "himself and in hii:
powerfdl 'tr*a*<*k, and he realiaed that
he w«s re'Sptmsible for many yt*un-;,
hapjsy lives sitting behind him.
A *rew ininu'es after 11 o'clock the
last hill was surmounted, and tho
Scouts were ordered to prepare for
the march into camp which lies in
tlie peaceful valley about half a mile
distant. When the line was formed
and the boys stai-ted two abrear.t
down the narrow path they presented
a picture that would warm the heart
of any' person with the fluid called
blood in his veins. Their manly
bearing, their steady step as they
ci-unched the sand and pebbles under
foot displayed clearly the wisdom of
discipline, and they entered camp
with ranks closed iip, heads erect and
ready to instantly obey orders. To
look at them made it hard to believe
tlat the marching line was composed
of boys ranging in age from 12 to 16
years.
Receive a Little Advice
They were greeted by C. L. Riley,
the camp director, who is also head
of the Biology department in McKin-
ley "high schooi. Mr. Rijey is a clean-
c-.it, educated man' fond of "beys, and
"willing to give them every possible
chance to succeed, but he he.*-- a few
rules he lays down for their guidance.
and in a Big Brotherly way he tolc
them what is expected of them while
in camp.
Then the Scouts were asyijcned to
their quarter.--. The tents are clean
and substantial and the iron cots look
as if they had just left the factory.
Shortly afterward the lads appeared
in bathing suits and marched to the
Tuscarawas river, a short distance
away, where they were again lined up
to hear a short talk by Mr. Riley. Two
little fellows replied, in answer to a
question, that they could not swim.
They were turned over to Ambrose
Staudt, who is in charge of the bathers, and when they return to Canton
they will know how to swim.
The system followed by Mr. Riley
and his assistants to piotect the boys
is perfect. Promiscuous bathing ia
not permitted.. The Scouts go in by
twos, and two of them remain to-,
gether while in the water. When the
whistle blows the buddies get together.
No one is allowed to remain in the
river if he feels cold. No boy is per-
