FOR NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Big Circus Firms Take Notable Stand
To Divide Territory.

Barnum & Bailey and Ringing Bros have
entered into an agreement which ends the
fifteen years fight of the big circuses. The
agreement provides that hereafter there
will be no hiking of prices after success
full first performances; that fewer free
tickets will be given out, and that the
circuses will do the bulk of their adver-
Using in the newspapers instead of on bill
boards and barns.
Mr.. Tody Hamilton. Barnum & Bailey's
representative, said yesterday:
THE day of the fiaring poster is about
over in the circus business. In one way
this is to be lamented, because people, es-
pecially in the west, have come to look
upon the big sheets sort of curtain
raiser a free show. But it's real value as
an advertising medium is doubtful Here
after the newspapers will get more and the
dead walls less. This also means that we
will not have to give out anywhere near as
many free tickets as We have had to in the
past.
''Circuses have been guilty of raising
prices at second performance when they
the people were circus hungry. We
have agreed to cut that out.
The routes of the circuses will be so
mapped out that Barnum & Bailey will be
doing one circuit while Ringlings' is trav-
cling another. There will be no conflicts in
territory. Altogether, the public will be the
gamer by the arrangement"

The greatest of the Chief Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States was
John Marshall, of Virginia More than
any other of the lawyers of the country
was his work in combining the various
Colonies into one consolidated Nation. He
asserted persstently and effectively the
dignity and power Of the Supreme Court
and the right of the General Government
to exercise authority over the several
States. He was bitterly opposed and
criticised for this, and every effort made
to defeat his purpose, but he perseyered,
a. the greatest possible credit is due him.
