it wise to take any more chances

lock when the safe came open so that
it can not be locked again.

was opened by the power of God as

S. Clark SWEET, model maker en-
ployed by Colonel Smith for many
years. says that he opened the safe
through the aid of spirits.
1t is a fact that the safe is now
opened. 1t is a fact also that expert
safe openers from the treasury de-
partment and from safe companies
tried in vain to work the combina-
ton. 1t is an old safe and the con-
slant use to which it has been put
has worn away the catches on the
bolts. The constant failure of ex-
perts to open the safe was a cause
of much alarm to Mrs. Smith. Here
is her story:
1T was necessary that l have the
safe opened so that l could get the

ed the grounds in Sherwoods addi-
ton as the most advantageous site

greatest shows.
The parade, for which the Ring
lings are noted, is announced to
leave the show grounds promptly at
$40 tomorrow morning and cover the
usual route.
There is something doing in the big
show this year. Besides the glitter
ing spectacle, Jerusalem and the
Crusades," Ringing Bros. have gath
cred together a galaxy of riding, aero
battle and gymnastic stars never be-
fore equalled in the annals of circus
history. Three hundred and seventy
five artists participate in the circus
program. Many of them came from
aboard to show their American cous-
ins what is new and novel in Euro
pean tricks. The sensational climax
of the show is attained in the daring
bicycle feat called '1eaping the gap"
Crazo, whose lay name is Walter
Lowe, rides a bicycle down an almost
perpendicular path of 80 feet, at the
bottom of which a sharp upward
curve throws wheel and rider high in
the air a distance of more than so
feet. landing on padded platform
This nervy and spectacular feat
thrilled all Europe last winter

not depend upon any single sensation

After receipt OF other income and

manned a surplus for the year of $4,-

ours. It needs more men and more re-
sources We all know that more
money could be expended wisely upon
our streets. The sole practical ques-
tion which the taxpayer has to con-
slider is whether he is willing to pay
for these necessaries of municipal life.
If he votes for these amendments, he
must not grumble at such addition to
his taxes as, they necessitate. h c
GIobe has not a word to say against
any one of these amendments; but it
does say here and now that if the peo-
pie vote in favor of them they must
not hold responsible for larger taxes a
city administration that has nothing
to do with the adoption or rejection of
the amendments and viii be in no wise
responsible With this plain state
ment of the case The Globe is sat
isfied to leave the fate of these three
amendments to be decided by the peo-
pie on a strictly business basis. For
it is a clear question of business and
nothing else.

TIE OUTLOOK FOB PARKER

The beating of drums and the
tinkling of cymbals on the Republican
side should not and does not blind any
thoughtful observer of the times to
the actual facts of the national cam
paign as it draws to a close. No one
would deny that the odds are slightly
in favor of the Republicans. They
have been from the start. Considering
the result Of the last two presidential
elections and the enormous majorities
to be overcome, not only in many of
the states but in the electoral college,
it has been an uphill fight. It is proof
of the magnificent strength of Democ-
racy and the fine quality of its can
didates that this fight has been so con-
Quoted that there is a good chance to
win.
Ali the advices which can be relied
on coming from the doubtful states are
encouraging. AS we have said, the
odds in New York state are very much
in favor of Judge Parker. That the
Democratic candidate for governor is
going to be elected is practically ad-
mitted by both sides.~ That Judge
Parker will carry the state is, the opin-
| ion Of the best informed. Each day
makes the outlook in Indiana brighter
| for the Democracy. This is the heav-
lest fighting ground, and the campaign
| there has been conducted with rare
skill and unexampled vigor. Judge
Parker and his associates are not good
at the game of brag, and have not
footed their horns loudly through the
newspapers. Nevertheless. elections
are not won by extravagant claims or
the service of paid special correspond
ents. Indiana is today, We believe.
fairly in the Democratic column.
though by small majority.
If the work goes forward, as it will.
