The Circus,

Thus far we have heard but one gen.
eral comment upon the Ringing Bros.
big circus and menagerie which visited
Great Bend last Saturday, the 18th,
and that comment is that sit was the
largest, cleanest. most enjoyable show
that has ever visited Great Bend" The
parade was magnificent, was devoid of
any cheap features whatever, and the
showing made on the streets was a
fair indication of what was under the
canvas. There were no mountibank
attachments hangers.on; no gambling
devices of any nature, and all the en-
ployees seemed to know that they were
expected to act as gentlemen and ladies
at all times.
While it is true that the show carried
several thousands of dollars out of the
county, it also spent much money
here, and we believe that it came
nearar giving full value received for
the price of admission than any show
ever visiting this locality.

An Insurance Go. Advertisement.

On the ready-print side OF the
Kansas papers patronizing the ready
print houses at Kansas City and Wich-
tia last week appeared an article
headed "a Life Insurance Tragedy
purporting to be news matter, but in
reality being an advertisement of the
insurance companies interested in the
Hiliman case. The DEMOCRAT was
among the papers carrying this ques-
tionable ad, and we want our readers
to distinctly understand that we do
not endorse the attack there made up
on State Insurance Commissioner
Webb McNall. On the contrary, we
believe that he is taking the proper
course to protect the interests of policy
holders in the state, and comes nearer
filling the requirements of the state
insurance laws than any man Kansas
has ever had in that position. We
want to say further, that we think
every honest democratic and populist
paper in the state which is supporting
the present state administration has
been grossly imposed upon by the
placing of the article in question in
their columns.
