In the Big Tent.

Be generous to the man who claims that
he does not really want to go to the circus
but Is forced TO go in order TO give the
children a treat He may be honest in his
assertion, after all. He may have lost that
keen zest of youth for the smell OF the saw
dust and the aroma of the animals and the
press of human beings and the glare of the
lights and the din of the performance. Pos
sibly he shrinks from having his toes trod
upon or his hat crushed or his eyeglasses
tostled OF Maybe he. fears that he viii be
tempted to eat peanuts that win disagree
with his digestive system Indeed, he may
fear that he win lose his dignity and be
swayed by his excitement into Juvenile
demonstrations of mirth or applause. There
are many things for sedate man of middle
age to apprehend when he sets out with his
small son or daughter to see the tunablers
and the clowns and the riders and the
trained pigs. He may even remember some
of the old forgotten experiences of his
own boyhood and really enjoy the perform
ance.
Probably the man who honestly breads
visit to the big tent Is the rarest of excep-
lions. There are very few of us who do not
at the bottom Of our hearts appreciate a
chance to slip off the garment of impecca-
bility and austerity. There is nothing like
a circus TO strip the robe OF dignity from
the shoulders. Who can be formal and pre-
else when perched up on framework of
seats. with the knees bent at an acute
angle and the neck craned to get glimpse
of the lovely lady on the horses back. and
the hat ciasped In a cramped hand for the
sake of the people In the rear rows2 It Is
against human nature TO hold fast to the
shreSis of formality In such circumstances.
The very discomforts of the seats cause a
loosen and more liberal view OF things. The
clowns are howiingiy funny In such an at
mosphere. even though their pranks are
ancient and their horse play OF the rudest
nature. Men who win scowl tmplacably at
a fairly interesting vaudeville performances
win laugh themselves hoarse at the nom

to punish Congress for its


delay.
There are at least half a dozen urgent
building needs today, and almost all Of
them have grown from year to year more
difficult for the department officials to en-
dure because of the hardness OF Congress
In providing for the purchase OF sites. There
Is needed, for instance, a new building Tor
the Department of State. another for the
Department OF Justice. another for the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor. another
for the geological survey. another, and pos
sibly two, for various miscellaneous bureaus
row scattered about in privately owned
structures. and another for the hall Of rec
ords. With the possible exception of the
Department of Commerce and Labor. which
is a new conner in the field, all of these
needs have been standing for at least
dozen, some of them for twenty, years. And
today, with the necessities recognized by
Congress and acknowledged. there Is no
policy for the emplacement of these build
iBgs as they are appropriated for in the
bills. The closest approach to such policy
is the disposition of certain members al
ways to propose and insist upon the loca-
ton of new public buildings within the Mall.
1t is high time that Congress either passed
the bill creating public art commission,
or. in the absence Of such measure, en-
powered certain well-qualified officials to
summon the services of competent repre-
sentatives of the fine arts for the formula
ton of a consistent. progressive plan The
Senate's park commission plan has never
been formally adopted. 1t Is not assured
that it ever will be so approved. But its
influence Is In evidence and 1t Is not to be
doubted that any board or commission or
committee charged with the duty of advis-
ing Congress as to the proper emplacement
of buildings would be largely guided, II not
actually governed by the recommendations
and the designs OF that body.
In any case, whether there Is an attempt
to put the government squarely on the road
to a common-sense development of the cap
ital through the agency of a formally adopt
ed building site policy. the bill now pending
which provides for the emplacement OF a
geological survey building In the Mall
should be decisively rejected as menace
to the principle upon which the federal city
is founded.

Told how some things had come to pass
Which had been wrapt in mystery.
He showed her what mistakes and crimes
Had tempted nations. furious.

She smiled and said, How curiousl''
To his great mind he sought to prove
That nothing was inscrutable.
He told her how the planets move
BY schedules quite immutable.
He showed the consolidated sky
Where pictures astronomical
In mighty pageantry pass by.
She simply said, How comicalr'
He told her then her star-like eyes
Might tempt him to hostilities

Defends the Senate.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Senate as whole has appeared, not
as reactionary and obstructive body, but
as check upon precipitate action on the
part Of the House upon question which
means more to the business interests OF the
country than any discussed in a generation,
except those dealing with the currency and
the tariff. In spite of impatient criticisms
1t has devoted itself with courage. con-
servatism and wisdom to Its constitutional
duty Of safeguarding constitutional rights
Much of this same criticism Of the Senate's
elaboration Is based on ignorance OF its
constitutional functions and due to forget
fulness Of the fact that it Is the only DELHI
erative body in Congress, the one house in
which speech Is free.

A Sermonette.
From the Memphis News-Scimitar.

From the Memphfs NeWs-Scimitaf.
The greatest crime is SANDER or false ac-
cusation. The slanderer himself and his al
lies clothe their untruthful charges with q
covering OF specious pleadings and clamor-
GUS defamation. They attempt to employ
words to conceal facts instead Of disclosing
facts. With high sounding and virtuous
language they attempt to instill the false
into the minds of their hearers or readers,
and sting to death reputation, being moved
by q ruthless disregard for all Others and
only having in mind their own advancement
and schemes

from the Providence Journal.

The excited orator who ''slops over in
his denunciation of monopoly Is not alto
gether without excuse, for the evil Is actual
and the danger great. Even IL all CONSOLE
dated corporations were conducted with
the idea of giving the consumer as much as
possible for his money rather than for the
upbuilding of few fortunes the menace
would remain: for private monopoly yields
a tremendous influence and may at last
undermine the foundations of the state.
