Bow1NG HER HEAD IN SHAME.

M OF in many years have we seen more pit
liable figure than that Of the Republican
party as She stands watching the Legislature and
sees how the majority members in that body have
brought her into disgrace. Two months have.
gone by and not one OF the promises she made to
the people has been fulfilled. With the large ma
jority in the Legislature that the confidence OH
the people gave to her, she was, Immediately af-i
ter the election, buoyant with hope that the Leg-s
islature of 1907 would be the most creditable and
most effective in the enactment of legislation for,
the benefit OF the State and the good OF the peo,
pie of any Of its predecessors Of recent years.i
She was hopeful of breaking the shackles and
fetters that have for years held the Legislature
Of Delaware and the people Of the State in abb
ect bondage She was hopeful that with her bigt
majority such good results would be achieved
that she would stand as the militant force andI
power in the State Now upon the eve OF ad I
journment of the Legislature, she realizes that
she has been betrayed Those from whom She
expected much have not only rendered nothing,t
but, worse than that they have turned against
her Those things the Legislature should have
done have not been done, and many things that
should not have been done, have been done. For.
such action there always has come and will now
come visitation from the people expressive of
their disappointment and anger. She stands TOT
day in tears, her grief caused by the betrayal OF
those from whom she expected the most loyal
devotion and support, and the contemplation 81
her facing the people after the adjournment OF
the Legislature with a record that is both dis5.
creditabe and shameful She deserved better
treatment and had reason to expect it, Those
who have been false TO her and are the cause OF
her shame and tears have yet to reckon with
those who are still her friends and have con6A
dence in her virtue and loyalty to the people. .

TO FLY AS A BIRD

ported as having been injured while

he would be out in a few days
DR.. Thomas has given up tho idea Of
doing anything In the way Of aerial
navigation except on the lines a bird

NEW COMBINE IN GERMANY.

a NEW industrial combination has beenn
\ formed in Germany which will bel
watched with interest by those who have stud
led the trust question. The ship owners of the
realms of the Kaiser have discovered that some
of them are not making money. The Develop
ment of the big transatlantic companies startl.
ed period of competition which has become 50
keen that the larger companies no longer gives
any consideration to the smaller ones. A plani
OF mutual cooperation and combination, which
is different however, from the American trust
plan has long been in the minds of the German
ship owners. The Central Union of German
Ship Owners has been organized the chief print
ciple of the organization being that the shippers
are to be on common sround and nothing harm-
fu is to be done TO the weakest
Each member of the combination, however, is
to be free to develop his own resources, but there
shall be no nAction of injury by one upon the
other. The plan outlined seems to be all right.
but how il will work out will be the chief concern
of the patrons of the companies. 1t is possible
for even a combination like that to furnish good
service at fair prices and benefit the public But
II is more probable that the temptation to charge
high rates and limit service will be too strong to
be resisted and then the combination will as
sumo the proportions of trust, such as we have
in America

600 acres Of land, a territory twice the

State Of Texas alone contains 166,00o.-

The Great Hagenbeck-Wallace Show

There seems TO be platonic affec-
ton within the breast of the average
human being for horses and ponies.
This is one reason why the Carl Ha-
genbeck & Great Western Shows
combined, always captivates the pub
lie. Its display of fine horses and
handsome ponies makes it a notable
"horse fair"
A feature of the procession is in
the fact that the horses shown in
the Hagenbeck Wallace parade are,
without exception, remarkably fine.
Even those drawing the cages are
well groomed and of good blood in
fact are dapple grays With the rae
ers the lineage is undisputable. Slim
ankles, delicate nostrils, muscular
shoulders, and long fetlocks, all attes.
to their birth and good breeding. Es-
pecially beautiful are the steeds at
tached to the Roman chariots in line.
These are sorted in two tours of pre-
else color and probably drive the
admirers Of horseflesh, who are along
the route, into a fire of enthusiasm,
only quenchable by one of the other
two products of the Blue Grass state
Scores of Shetland ponies complete
the list OF horses and justify the
Hagenbeck & Wallace claims of
keeping the finest stables on the road
1t is not alone the great exhibition
of horses that enables Hagenbeck &
Wallace 10 attract crowds. but it is
the truthful advertising. The repu-
tation of the Hagenbeck & Wallace
Circus is such that when il adver-
tises a certain thing in the papers or
on the billhoards, the public can de-
pend upon the advertisement being
in good faith
A circus parade, replete with clev-
err attractions and harmonious dis
play of various combinations, and
which is altogether superior to the
