ADJUSTMENTS
CIRCUS AGAIN HAS PARADE.
BarnumI and Bailey Greatest Show Or
Earth Returns to Old Policy.

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth has returned to its old
policy Of giving a street parade as q
part of it's daily program. Upon it's
visit to Walla Walla on August II, 1t
will present in the forenoon perhaps
the greatest and most beautiful street
parade that has been witnessed at any
time.
1t is now learned that the reason of
the omission of this feature for the
past several years was owing to the
scarcity Of strange attractions to be
found throughout the world Rather
than repeat itself the circus decided to
drop the parade until such time as
something new and more wonderful
could be devised. That time has come
this season after three years hard la
Dor by corps of artists, designers, arti-
sans and mechanics at the foreign
quarters of the show in Stock on Trent
England.
There is not a large city anywhere
on earth but an agent Of this circus
is stationed there. These agents have
been on the constant lookout for nov
elites. They have gathered together
for this years parade the strangest
types of the human race, their peculiar
vehicles, rough implements Of war and
musical instruments. The artists of
Italy have wrought in bronze replicas
of the gods of mythology and the he
roes Of child-romance, and for these
ornate floats of FURNISHED gold have
been designed in France.
Tableau wagons, band chariots, how
dahs, floats and thrones were built in
Germany, the costumes were original
ed in Japan and France, the scarfs,
flags and banners are from the looms
of China and the rugs and tapestry
came from Persia and Turkey
In the parade will be seen 1900 men
women and children, 700 horses, droves
of camels, a complete menagerie, and
nearly all the elephants in America.
The performance has been given
even more strength and novelty. It's
acts are those which have recently
originated in European arenas. The
program is introduced by a new spec
tacle more ornate than Of old and
vastly of more interest. The acts are
given on two stages, in three rings,
on the hippodrome course and in the
immense dome of the canvas. The
most striking number of the elaborate
bill is the act known as autos That
Pass In the Air" 1t is the midair
passing of two automobiles which
have been launched into space by a
plunge from the dome of the tent down
a steep incline. Two girls do the act
and it is a thousand fold more thrill
ing than anything else ever presented.

this deal and you have got to see me
through.
I can't make the people vote for me /;
maybe you can. They don't believe in
me, but they believe in you, and if You
will just tell them again that I am
all right, think everything will be
easy sailing.
I hate to impose on you like this.
You doubtless think that you did
enough when you told the republican
party once that l was all right and on
the strength of that they nominated
me, but am afraid that all those Ia
Dor union fellows and those farmers
who don't have enf1uence enough to
get federal jobs and therefore can't sit
in republican conventions, have for
gotten about it. Maybe you didn't hol-
Ter loud enough. They don't count very
much, but Hitchcock tells me they
can all vote.
You see, Teddy, this running bust
Kinley and Harrison We're all so good
to me and so careful to always keeT
me in good jobs that l kind of lost
track of the fact that every big job
isn't handed down by somebody higher
up. 1 knew, of course, that a presi-
dent was elected someway or other
and since 1 come to think of it, be-
lieve they told me in Yale that the cleo
toral college had something to do witt
it. AS college man, supposed that
would stand in pretty well with the
electoral college. and thought that il
you just passed the word down tt
your appointees they could fix it up al
right.
Then you know when I was running
things over in the Philippines we ha(
everything arranged differently. YOU
appointed the secretary of war, and h
appointed me and / appointed th'
smaller fry and everything ran alons
smoothly We didn't have to pay atten.
ton to labor unions and farmers an(
the like over there, but Hitchcock say:
that we do here, and as near as car
find out, he is right about it.
So you see, Teddy, guess they have
me up against it. That man Bryan

how to do it and they seem to b.

THE WOLF HOWL OF WALL
STREET.
BILL.

"The country needs a rest hoWls
the mammonized New York World, in
arguing for the election of Mr.. Taft
1.-The country needs a rest" ululates
the New York Evening Post. "The
country needs rest" yelps the whole
chorus of mammon- serving organs in
the east, and already several newspa-
pers in Oregon are cuckooing the re-
frain
Thank Heaven Mr.. Taft will, if
elected, understand the constitutional
limitations of the presidential office,
exclaimed Senator Spooner in a speech
at Yale, and commenting on this jab
at President Roosevelt, the New York
Evening Post adds, "a certain robust
person in eye glasses will pleace take
notice" Elk Secretary Leslie NJ Shaw,
creature of Wall street, jabbing at the
presidents attempts to prosecute the
trusts, declared in a Taft ratification
meeting, criminal prosecution is not
the object of government
And so the chorus swells. Reaction
thinks it's turn has come to even
up with the president. They hail Mr..
Taft as their Moses, while preparing
to drive a political poniard through Mr..
Roosevelt and his policies. 1t matters
not that the president has the support
and approval of nine tenths of the
American people. 1t matters not that
welt has been the one president reso-
lutte in the demand of equal justice for
ALL 1t matters not that he appeale
from the White House to congress for
remedial legislation that the country
clamored for ana needed. 1t matters
not that he used the presidential office
and it's 6reat prestige to break up the
unholy alliance Of dishonest interests
with the government. 1t matters not
that more than any other president he
denounced rich malefactors of wealth.
and went to great lengths to awaken
the public conscience against those
who amass swollen fortunes through
special favors from government. Moth
ings matters now in the game of poll
ties that is to be played, in which
Mammon proposes that, for his pains
in behalf of the great American COM
morality, Mr.. Roosevelt shall be pun
ished, Rooseveltism and Roosevelt pol
icies are to be discredited. The intrepid
man himself is to be howled and Kissed
at as scapegoat. The people are to be
taught if possible, that his methods
and his theories are wrong and dang
erous. The one presidential effort that
has been made to pull the government
back into its old anchorage is to be
held up as vain mans folly, to be
hooted at, howled at and jeered at by
the hyenas of Wall street
This country needs a rest" bowls
| the World. THE country needs a
rest" ululates the Evening Post. 1.-THE
country needs a rest" choruses the
whole pack, hoping to get back to their
prey, when Roosevelt goes out and
Taft gets into the White House-Ore-
gon Journal.

PREPARING FOR SUMNER
Waterworks Standpipe Washed Out, Mains Flushed and Dam
 Closed.

Since the big storm of three weeks ago there has been a notic- able decrease iu the amount of water flowing from the point of supply in the mountains north of the city into the standpipe. The matter has occasioned some wor- " on the part of the commission CTS and Manager Evius.
 With the belief that the uuusal amount of sediment carried in the flood waters which rushed over the supply basin had partial ly clogged the pipe which leads to the standpipe. Manager Evins has been d:sconnecting this pipe and flushing it at different points between the dam and the standpipe. This work has been going on for three days and the interruption caused the standpipe to be empted Saturday night.
 Taking advantage of this Mir. Evins gave the big reservoir a good washing out Sunday, also flushed and drained the mains all over town.
 In cleaning the standpipe Mr. Evins had the work of scraping and scrubbing all to do himself. He had three workmen who have stayed by him, working in the mud and water, ram or shine, but only one could be induced tc climb to the top of the standpipe and none were willing to follow him down inside.
 There is yet more work of open ing and cleaning the pipes north of the standpipe which may agair interrupt the city's water supply but when this is done the entire water system will be in per fectly sanitary condition for the coming summer and the big dan has been closed and is filling with water from the mountain sources.
 The dam is said to be in ex' cellent condition.

BOGUS PENSIONER JAILED
White Man Makes Affidavit That He He Was Private Klugh, Who Proved
 to Be a Negro.

Fort Smith, April 19.-An old man named William White is in Jail here for trying to defraud Uncle Sam out of pension money.
 White tried to secure a pension last year by representing himself as Jacob H. Klugb, a former soldier iu the United States army. i. White made the affidavit before John B. Nedry, a notary public, on May 6, 1907, and was identified by two men who were we'll known to MT. Nedry and whose names are not made public at the present time for the reason that Uncle Sam would like to lay his hands on them also. White swore that he was the identical Jacob H. klugh uamed in the discharge. It has since developed that Klugh is negro.
 White was arrested by Deputy Constable Davis. He has ad- mitted the offense to Justice Ed mondson, and alleges that he was persuaded to act the part he did by the two men who identified him, ard that he was told that it was good chance to pick up easy money and that he would not get into any trouble over it.
 The identifying witnesses are not now in the city.
 White had Klugh's discharge in his possession at the time he made the affidavit, and he has since stated that he found them on the street at Pine Bluff.
