Shaw's Bull Dog.

While in Waterloo recently. Secre
tary Shaw asked the Times-Tribune OF
that city to deny the story that he was
paying $3.50 week for the board and
care of a bulldog which his daughter
is said TO have purchased in Paris.
The story was sent out by a Washing
ton correspondent and has been widely
published.
The denial is rather important. both
politically and economically There is
something wrong with a man who
would lavish $3.50 a week on bull
dog Ii is bad state of society in
which such an expenditure would be
permitted without comment or crit
cism. A dog is not worth that much,
and as long as there is human being
in want such an expenditure would
be an economical and therefore also
a moral sin. There is many a family
even in this favored land of ours
which has to subsist on $3.50 a week,
and provide not only for the physical
necessities and comforts of the family
but for the education and the bringing
I'D of the children The thousands
of section hands on the railroads, for
instance. until very recently received
$1.1O a day, which is only $500 per
week. if the Lord in his providence
provided the man with health all the
time. To spend 80 cents more than
that much on a dog, though bulldog,
would be criminal, almost.

Bryan's Ideas Prevail.

William J. Bryan, Jr, who arrived
in New York yesterday from Bremen
on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm III. at
ter accompanying his father on his
travels. said: Il was surprised TO find
how well my father was known wher-
ever we travelled. They knew about
him even in the wilds of India and in
China. They knew. too, that he had
never been president. but that he had

A little later they will realize that
the race is not always 10 the swift but
to the sprinter with the staying quail
ties. 1t appears that Bryan has never
really stopped running His ideas have
gone on through President Roosevelt

LOVE Of CIRCUS UNBORN
Old and Young Will Be Pleased BY
Forepauqh-S Sells Shows.

Thursday, June 81 is circus day. and
If there is a man. woman. or child who
is not down town Thursday morning to
see the Forepaugh-Sells parade ii Will
be because they can not come. Circus
day is for the young, the old and the
middle aged. OF all the good. oldfash-
toned. time-wOrn and staple jokes, the
best is that which deals with the faith
er who has TO so TO the circus to take
the children. for there are fathers fool
ish enough 10 try to fool their neigh
bors with the fraud about going to the
circus purely to please the children.
The more candid frankly admit that
they go to please themselves. For
love of the circus is Unborn; it lasts
while life lasts They have enjoyed
it since the days when they used to
carry water TO the elephants or crawl
under the tents to see the marvellous
shows of their youth. and catch the
circus fever today as they did then.
even if they don't gaze with the same
open mouthed wonder that they did in
their youth.
Circus day is always an event and
it always will be. There is something
about this sort of entertainment that
is different from any other sort of di-
version. Perhaps it is the wide di
versity of the skill shown by the per
formers. perhaps it is the noise and
the hustle and the frank aggregation
of the side show spielers; more likely
it is a little of all. But whatever it is
there is fascination that catches the
imagination of the youth and stays
with him through life, and TO the red
blooded citizens circus day is. and will
always be an event.
