THE DELUGE

Democrats, we are stung.
The land slid, but it slid the
wrong way, and for the first
time since 1870 Missouri will be
ruled by a Republican governor.
Think of missouri a com
pletely Republican state.
The victory of Taft in the ma
ton was not a gigantic surprise.
Ever since the middle of Septem-
Der, when the moneyed inter
ests began to throw their in
huence to the Republicans. the
steady gain of Taft has been ap.
parent. The democrats held on
to their straw, however, and
tried to believe that Mr.. Bryan
had a chance. But when it was
finally assured thai Taft was
elected, there was probably lit
tie real true surprise outside of
Fairview, near Lincoln, Nebras-
ka.
Mr.. Bryan is undoubtedly a
wonder and it was no mistake
to nomirate him the third time.
No Democrat would have polled
a larger vote or one nearly as
large. Personally Mr.. Bryan
is undoubtedly the most popular
man in the United States. He
is also the greatest orator and
greatest campaigner. Had he
been the Republican nominee
and Taft the Democratic he
would have won by the greatest
majority on record. But he
was up against it. There was
too much money and influence on
the other side.
The result means that the ma
iority of the people are convin-
ced that to stay Republican
means a continuation of present
conditions, which they prefer to
the uncertainty of a change. II
was considered that Bryan's
election meant at least a tenn
porary business depression and
the people decided that this de-
preston was not wanted, even
though it promised greater pros
perity in the future. The panic
helped the Republicans, although
they were in power. 1t gave
the people a taste of hard times
and by constant repetition the
Republican press and orators
impressed the idea upon the
people that Democratic victory
meant agglavation Of the strin.
gency. Democrats could see
the way things were going and
although they kept up the fight
they we're not astounded at. the
result.
But how different are condi-
tions in the state. William S
Cowherd after an arduous cam
paign won the Democratic nom
nation for governor. Instantly

BRONX ZOO BABIES
ARE GIVEN PICNIC
Little Animals Are Given Their
First Big Outing on the
Park Lawn

NEW YORK, July 4.-The babies
who live and flourish in the Bronx
Zoo enjoyed their first annual picnic
Thursday on the lawn before the small
mammal house in the zoo. The weather
was superb: hundreds of human babies
and humans of a larger growth were
gathered in a great circle around the
lawn.
Every little creature at the picnic
was born in the zoo within the last
six weeks except the two lion cubs,
which John d. Archbold, the Standard
oil man, gave to the zoo last Sunday
The two cubs, named Sambout and
Sergoit. were captured by Archbold's
daughter on a hunting expedition in
Africa. The small lions, looking much
like tawny Newfoundland pups, fol-
lowed their keeper around the lawn so
tamely that even timid little girls were
begging: "Oh. mamma, buy me one"
The baby tapir Assuan seemed to
enjoy itself. If you take brunette
sucking pig and paint zebra stripes
on 1t you will have a very good tnita
ton of the baby tapir, but it will not
have so much snout as Assuan. A re-
freshment booth Is near the center, and
hospitable persons often treated the
baby animals, so as TO make the oc-
casion real and true picnic.
Assuan licked up two plates of choc-
olate ice cream and tapered off on
glass of soda water and some peanuts.
DR.. W. e. Blair, veterinary surgeon to
the animal babies, was in attendance
ready for any emergency.
The baby camel Humpty was the only
baby at the picnic which did not take
a drink of soda water. This go- the
goat OF Pan. the only Rocky Mountain
sheep ever born in captivity. Pan re-
marked derisively to Humpty. "Ba- "a,
as If to say. Don't be a camel"
baby buffalo, baby Virginia deer
born a week ago and named Ida by
Miss Ida Conquest, the actress; a baby
antelope, baby mule deer and baby
Ska deer, whose parents came from
Japan, kept much to themselves but
seemed TO have a very nice time.
Keepers carried to the picnic tiny
American wolf and a lively little pink
faced monkey, which has been named
Vice Versa.

INNOCENT, PLEADED GUILTY.
Victim of Circumstances and Drink,
He Paid Fine

TIC Fdlu TIHts
Stanton, Nov. 27.-Special to The
News: John Bombo pleaded guilty to
securing 81 from Mrs. Title Mahlke
by false and fraudulent pretenses, was
fined S. by Judge Cowan and prompt
ly paid his fine and costs, though sub
sequent events tend to show that he
was innocent.
1t seems that he went to Pilger to
work on the ditch. After he got there
he became somewhat intoxicated He
met John Venoi, restaurant keeper
at Pilger, and paid him 81 for his COM
ing weeks board. Evidently by mis-
take instead of going to the Venoi res
taurant he went to a restaurant con-
Quoted by Mahlke. He ate his break
fast, took some more red eye" and
concluded that he would not work on
the ditch. He then went to Mrs.
Mahlke and demanded back 1915 Of
the money, claiming he had paid her
husband, Gus Mahlke. Relying on his
statement she paid him the $3.75, and
Bombo left town on the first train.
On Mr.. Mahlke's return to the house
he was informed of what had hap
pened and Immediately took steps
which led to Bombo's arrest. 1t is
thought now that Bombo had no GRIM
inal intent and the acts he did was
the result of drunkenness and not OF
criminal mind, as he did not de-
mand the return of his money from
the man he paid it to, but by mistake
made demand upon the wrong person.
