trainer who makes them perform, east
| ly and gracefully and without the
slightest punishment or urging, the
most difficult trick known to the horse
trainers art. Ray Thompson is the
owner and trainer of the Buffalo Bill
horses, and the star of his aggregation
is Joe Bailey, admittedly the hand
soonest and best trained animal on ex-
hibition before the public.
Thompson has spent years in train
/, ing his horses, and in the group, be-
sides Joe Bailey, are number of
beautiful equines who perform singly
and in groups the same graceful
stunts as the thoroughbreds of the
circus arena. All the different "gaits"
known to horsemen are demonstrated
| by the Thompson group, and they
| dance and cavort around the arena in
a manner which shows that they enjoy
their work and likewise appreciate the
applause which is invariably bestowed
upon them.
| But these horsemanship feat. are
only part Of the great historical exhi-
bit which Buffalo Bill is making.
There are equines from every cline,
ridden by native horsemen who typify
| the various styles of saddle work
known throughout the world. Cossacks
| from Russia, fearless Arabians upon
| their native steeds, American Indians
on their spotted ponies, and our own
| cowboys on their fractions and buck
| ing bronchos.
| There will be Indian battles, war
dances and pow vows; exhibitions of
| native history and historic types, and
many stirring scenes and incidents to
arouse enthusiasm and send the blood
tingling from excitement. The Great

THE GETTYSBURG ROAD.

Representative McCleary sums up the
observations of his foreign travel in a
magazine argument in favor of spend
ing seven million dollars on a great
permanent highway between Washing
ton and Gettysburg.
He went abroad to study suggestive
models for lasting memorial to Abra-
ham Lincoln. Rejecting monumental
arches and buildings, he settled upon
the road to Gettysburg as the best
plan to recommend to the association
that commissioned him. Mr.. McCleary
says thht his judgment was most in
fiuenced by drive on the Appian way
out of Rome still. after more than
twenty centuries, almost as smooth and
solid as when it was built
This statement challenges comnari-
son of the uses of the ancient high
way and that now proposed for tbs
United States. The Appian way was a
main route of Roman traffic, like the
pennsylvania or New York Contra
railroad in this country. 1t was an ar.
terry OF commerce, a military highway

the world to the port of shipment for
the countries of the eastern Mediter-
ranean, as the F'laminian way LED
straight to the port of shipment for the
provinces across the Adriatic and less
directly to Gaul and Germany. Togeth-
err they bound Italy to Rome and the
best of three continents to Italy.
1t is easy to understand the lavish
expenditure Of labor and treasure on
highways of such vital Importance to
war and government, commerce, in
dustry and civilization. Yet we may
doubt if these Roman roads cost, mile
for mile. as much as it is proposed to
spend on a mere ornamental route to
a national rtark of sacred memory. Not
even imperial extravaganza INDUCED in
road building of SO little utility.
Commerce would not use the road
from Washington to Gettysburg. 1t
would cheaper no product of industry
to the consumer. 1t would accommodate
few patriotic pilgrims and many
luxurious automobiles. It's chief use
would be to increase the deficit and
perpetuate the tariff.

HINTS TO VOTERS.

Before casting your vote with the re-
publican party remember some of these
things:
First-The failure Of the republican
party to take steps to provide for elect
ing senators by popular vote, and the
refusal of the republican convention to
endorse the reform.
Second-The failure of the republic
can congress to pass a bill providing
for publicity of campaign contributions
and the refusal of the republican con-
vention even to endorse the reform.
Third-The failure of the republican
congress to pass a postal savings bank
bill and the hypocrisy of the party
in endorsing this reform, which it had
just ignored in congress.
Fourth-The passage by the republic
can congress Of a currency bill which
enables speculative banks to convert
all sorts of securities into currency and
actually reduces the margin of safety
for depositors instead of increasing it.
Fifth-Tne destruction of represent
alive government in the lower house,
where the republican speaker and his
committee on rules have all power and
not even a majority can get vote on
a popular bill if the speaker refuses
consent.
Sixth-The forty-nine per cent in
crease in the cost of living under the
republican Dingley tariff and it's trusts,
while wages have increased only nine
teen per cent.
Seventh-The refusal of the repub-
lican congress to amend this tariff al
though its iniquities are admitted and
future revision has been reluctantly
promised by it's friends after the storm
is over
Eighth-The notorious fact admitted
by Senator Aldrich, republican leader
in the senate, that American tariff pro-
tected concerns sell their products
abroad in competition with European
factories at lower prices than they ex-
act from American consumers and the
refusal of the republican house of rep
resentatives to adopt an amendment t.
have our government agents report or
these prices.
Ninth-The republican leaders pre-
tend they favor a tariff sufficient only
to compensate factories for the differ
ence between labor cost in America an(
abroad. bot the fact is that the republi
can tariff is more than sufficient to pa,
the whole labor cost. On steel product
the labor cost fifteen per cent and tn,
tariff is thirty-two per cent.-Th
