CIRCUS TO BRING
VAST TENT CITY
ARMY OF MEN COMES WITH
BIG SHOW
Harnum and Bailey VIII Arrive Tues
day with Five Special Trains
and Great Geological
Collection

Statistical data regarding the great
American amusement forms an in
teresting subject. The Barnum d
Bailey greatest show on earth, which
visits Los Angeles Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week. is now in the
fifty-fifth year of its existence. The
proof that it has kept faith with the
public is evidenced by the fact that 1T
occupies the proud position of being IN
every way Americas most colossal
amusement enterprise, representing an
actual investment of $4,500,OOO. The
average daily running expenses reach
$4,000. One item alone will give the
reader some idea of the vastness of the
proposition In the kitchen tent and
canvas dining hall food is prepared
and served to HOO people three times
each day. There are more than 400 per-
formers. The 500 beautiful horses re-
Quire the attention of $50 grooms, most
lers, etc. A complete blacksmith SHOP,
a wagon factory, gas manufacturing
outft-in fact all the industries of Il
small-sized city are necessary for the
successful maintainence of this mon
ster show.
There are twenty-eight distinct tents
in the city of canvas erected each day
for the temporary home OF the circus.
The most interesting of these is prob
ably the three large stables, Veritable
models of equine luxury.
The geological collection includes five
herds of elephants. four droves of
camels, the worlds rarest and most
costly collection of giraffes, hippopo-
tami, rhinoceroses, more than one nun
bred dens of wild beasts and group
of zebras.
In. the arenic tent, where the perform
ances are given, the three circus rings,
two large stage platforms, an immense
hippcdrome oval, innumerable aerial
contrivances and seating capacity Tor
$4,000 spectators.
To transport the para'phernalia of
this world of entertaining merriment
requires the railway equipment of five
fuil length trains, all of which is the
property of the Barnum & Bailey man
agement, railway companies furnishing
only the engines and tenders.
One of the most interesting features
of circus day is the unloading and
reloading of these trains. 1t is then
that the observer gets some idea of the
immensity of the undertaking. This
herculean task requires the services OF
200 men and fifty especially trained
horses. The work must be accom-
plished with the utmost care and cir
cumspection. The slightest detail re-
uuires diligent attention, all this in
guarding against possible accidents.
Then, too, speed is an essential part of
loading, for the first section must pull
out of the railway station at midnight,
to be followed at intervals of thirty
minutes by the other sections, and
when the last train has departed circus
day in that particular city is over for
the year.

NORTH BROADWAY HAS
NO REAL EXISTENCE,
SAY THE ENGINEERS
FORT STREET REMAINS YET THE
OFFICIAL TITLE
Property Owners Wish to Extend
Present Street of Eleven Blocks
Into One Nearly Five
Miles Long
There is no North Broadway.


This fact was discovered by the city
engineers office yesterday while run
ming over the records in connection with
the petition to change the names of
several streets. What is known as
North Broadway, and what sign posts
put up by the city designate as North
Broadway is really Fort street. Broad
way proper extends only from First
street to the intersection with Main, at
Eleventh.
When the engineer announced this
fact it was received as an important
piece of news by the board of public
works and other departments that deal
with streets, and was given by the
petitioners, who are anxious to have
Broadway dignif1ed in length as well
as name, as an additional argument for
favorable action on a petition which
will come before the council Monday.
This petition is signed by practically
every property owner on Fort street,
or what is known as North Broadway,
Buena Vista and Downey avenues, and
the object of the petitioners is to have
the names of all these streets changed
to North Broadway.
Together these streets form a broad,

Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-20

to act on it, The Native Sons at that
| time, individually and not as an or
ganization, were opposed to the change
of name. 1t is improbable that the
same opposition win develop to this
petition, as the property owners affected
by the change of name are almost a
unit in their demands.
Sentiment Not Disregarded
It is pointed out also that all senti-
ment would not be lost with the change
of name. Fort street would still be pre-
served in name on that section of the
street over the Broadway tunnel. Two
blocks of Buena Vista, from Temple to
Bellevue, which Is the northern mouth
of the tunnel, would still preserve it's
time honored title, and the portion of
Downey avenue from the river to Ave.
nue. Eighteen, where the new bridge
and viaduct will end, will still be called
Downey avenue in memory of Governor
Downey.
Councilman Dromgold of the First
ward, who is engineering the change of
name, while in hearty sympathy with
1t, and in fact the father of the move
ment, does not want the council to take
action on the petition this week or until
the contract for paving Downey avenue
is awarded. To change the name at
this time would cause an abandonment
of proceedings for the pavement. Dow
ney is to be paved with asphalt from
the river to Mission road, and when
this improvement is completed this
thoroughfare, which is 100 feet wide and
about two miles long, will be one of
the handsomest streets in the city and
we'll worthy to be known as Broadway.

A petition similar to the one now
before the council was presented to
that body about four years ago. The
first petition asked that Buena Vista
street, from it's intersection with what
was supposed to be North Broadway
to the river, be named Broadway. Some

with Mission road, in graceful curve,

the petition is acted on favorably
Broadway, instead of being less than
eleven blocks, will be nearly five miles
long.

ROOSEVELT AND THE PLUMBER.
(LippincOtt's.)

tLippincOtt
When he throws OF the cares Of
office and romps with his children,
President Roosevelt becomes, for the
time being. a prank-playing, big boy.
Moreover, he can enjoy a joke turned,
against himself Once while visiting
mis- sister. Mr.. Roosevelt entered the
room after every one else was at the
luncheon table. He was laughing heart
lily.
Il have just played a mad prank Oh
the plumber he declared. Then he re-
lated how he had gone to the bath room
to wash his hands, when ne heard
what seemed to be stealthy footsteps
coming down the hall. The boys had
PLAYED a number of jokes on him,
and he Immediately surmised that they
were about to spring a new one. He
sopped a washrag in water, then, wifi!
the dripping CLOTH in his hand, he
waited the attack. The steps came
nearer and nearer. then stopped and
someone tried to open the door, which
the president was holding shut. Sud
denly he threw the door wide open,
simultaneously swinging the wet cloth
over his head and shouting gleefeully,
1--WE got you now" The washrag
landed. not on the head of one of the
boys, as he had anticipated. but square
across the face of a startled plumber,
who had come to repair a defective
pipe. 1t is hard TO say who was more
surprised. the president or the plumb.
er. Mr.. Roosevelt apologized profusely,
explained the circumstances and then
descended to the dining room, shGk-
ing with laughter.

TAFT's NOMINATION.

President Roosevelt has nominated
his successor as the republican nomi-
nee fer the presidency. This accom-
plishment was brought about by the
power of the national administration;
in every section of the country those
connected with the Roosevelt admin
istration of high and low degree, have
been booming the big war secretary
under the leadership of the present
occupant of the white house
Mr.. Taft is not stranger to the
country, though his name has never
cen connected wit hany definite poll
=: Of the government, other than his
recommendations made concerning
the Philippines, when he was COVER
nor of the archipelago; he started in
public life as a judge in Ohio and was
afterwards appointed to the federal
bench where he attracted attention in
some injunction cases which resulted
from labor strikes. In his native
state of Ohio he has always been
highly regarded ard the fact that he
was able to win nearly every delegate
from Senator foraker, who was also
candidate for president. shows that
the people of the Buckeye state have
unbounded faith in his fitness as a
candidate for president.
Mr.. Taft will go before the people
representing all for which the repub
lican party has stood in the past and
all for which it stands now and espe-
cialIy will be pledged by platform and
by personal obligation 10 carry out
the policies which have been inaug-
rated by President Roosevelt should
is election follow his nomination. He
ill stand for the principle of tariff
protection which is believed to be re-
sponsible for the trust combinations
of today. He will stand for the con-
tention Of Roosevelt which, if carried
cit, would virtually destroy the rights
Of the states and place all powers for
the control of the industrial enter
prises in the hands of a government
commission to be named by the pres.
ident. He will stand for the recent
currency legislation which It is gener
ally believed will only facilitate the
business of the stock gamblers OF
Wall street.
Mr.. Taft's nomination is the direct
result of the direct power of the
Roosevelt administration and it i:
not unlikely that many republicans
will place the burden OF his election
on those who have rode rough shot
over all opposition during the cam
paign proceeding the national cunven
ton.

Now that the national republican
convention has declared in favor of
admission of Arizona and New Mex
leo into the union as states there is
no reason why these territories should
n be granted admission at the short
session of the sixtieth congress which
will convene in December next. The
democrats have been ready to vote in
congress for the admission of these
territories at any time during the last
twelve years. AS the republicans
have been wholly responsible for the
long delay in granting self-govern-
ment to the deserving people of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico they should
now see that further delay in granting
this fair treatment is cut as short as
possible.

The meaningless plank adopted by
the. republicans regarding the writ of
injunction will fail of its purpose. In
stead of pleasing the laboring men of
the country it should cause disgust
among that class. The honest, law
abiding workingman has nothing to
fear from the injunction law when ad-
ministered by an honest court. A
temporary injunction will never be is
sued by any court unless a showing
is made that property or rights of in

A California man who worked his

This is certainly a splendid ambi-
ton though as yet it has gotten no
further than the stage of promise-a
stage at which so many similar ambi-
tions have died. But We will not be
cynical We will give him time. The
wonder is if he has considered the
size of the contract he has promised
to undertake. And has he considered
the gravity of it? Undoubtedly, if he
carries out his word, he will be guiled
many times; many times made fool
ish and the donor to unworthy causes
or persons. But if he has fine and
abiding faith in humanity and hum
bic sense of his being a mere ser
want of higher will than his own,
this can do neither the man nor the
philanthropist nor humanity any
harm

if he in helping those unable to help

become dependents on his bounty
rather than to stage higher in their
own self-deyeIopment? 1t is a terri
BILE thing to take from a man his in
dependence and his initiative and his
energy by taking him from the neces-
sity for exerting these qualities. Many
a man has become great solely be-
cause he was forced TO conquer great
difficulties Many another has become
a ninny and a failure because he had
his wants supplied by another's hand.
That is why the sons of the poor so
often become men and the sons of
the rich are sometimes mere mani
kins. The failures that this newly
budded philanthropist would help are
probably failures chiefly because they
have waited and hoped and looked for
somebody with a golden chariot 10

many of even those who have toiled
