DAY OF THE CIRCUS HORSE.

It was q fiery circus horse
That ra9nped and stamped and neighed
Tin every creature In ITS course
Fled. frightened and dismayed.
The chickens on the roadway's edge
Arose and tapped their wings
Ana IAna1stg for the Rhe3teTing hedge,
Flew on like crazy things.
Nor iron gates nor fences barred
That melted ateed's career.
It galloped right across our yard
And hlied us all with fear.
And when 1t tossed its head and ran
Straight through the pantry door
COokhalnlost dropped her frying pan
Upon the kitchen moor.
It neighed and pranced and wheeled
about
And scampered of, but then
We scarcely saw the creature out
When 1t was IN again.
And 20 throughout the lfvelong day
Through house and yard and street
That charger held its fearsome way
And only stopped to eat.
But when ct dusk, little lame,
IT slowly climbed the stairs,
EehOid q gentle lady came

Now, what q wondrous change you ssel

Here lies, as tame as tame can be.

the Interstate Commerce Com
mission would permit. Several
projects have been suggested to
check this evil, but as yet none
| of them has been worked out.
Representatives of the dairy
interests and the oleomargarine
manufacturers of the country
presented arguments, last week,
before Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, in favor of and in oppo-
sition to placing the government
mark of inspection on oleomar-
garine. The department held
that oleomargarine is a meat food
product and, therefore, comes
under the meat inspection law.
The manufacturers of this prod
uct protested against the pro-
posed regulation requiring them
to stamp oleomargarine with the
government mark of inspection,
and the dairy interests pointed
to this attitude as confrmatory
evidence of their claim that the
oleomargarine manufacturers de-
sire to sell this product as butter.
They contended that the objec-
tion to the government mark of
inspection is that people, seeing
the mark, will of course recog-
nize the product as oleOmarga-
rine and not butter, and that this
would prevent it's sale as fancy
creamery butter. Secretary Will
son has taken the matter under
careful consideration.
There are denials by Brazil, as
a matter of course, but there are
many people in Washington well
informed in naval matters who
believe that the Dreadnaughts
ordered for Brazil will find their
destination in the navy of Japan.
1t is reported that these ships
have been ordered to be COM
pleted in an unusually short time.
Why? What is the occasion? Are
Brazil and Argentina on the point
of war? Brazil is at peace with
all the world and has no induce
ment to embark on a career of
conquest or territorial aggran-
dizement for she has now a rich
er, larger, unimproved domain
than any country on this planet.
Brazil needs no navy, but Japan
has a foreign policy that she
thinks requires the Pacific Ocean
as her Mediterranean and she
cannot rest with a United States
feet larger than hers roaming
the seas.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
During the past year many
things have occurred that have
finally caused President Roose-
velt carefully to consider the ad-
ministration of affairs in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the Capital
City of the nation. The Presi-
dent is of the opinion that the
best interests of the people will
be conserved by a different form
of government than that now
provided by law. This conclusion
has been reached, not because of
any incapacity on the part of any
of the Commissioners now at the
head of the city's affairs, or of
their predecessors, but the Pres
ident believes the system is not
a good one, and that the substi-
tuition of a governor instead of
the District Commissioners will
be a wise and advisable change.
It is reported here that he will
recommend legislation looking g
this end in his message to Con-
gress next winter.
Mr.. Sherman will not resign
his seat in Congress as a result
of his nomination for the vice
presidency on the Republican
ticket, and whether or not he
will resign as chairman of the
Republican congressional COM
mittee will depend somewhat up
on the state of his health as well
as upon the opinion of the chair
man of the national committee.
No definite conclusions, there
fore, will be reached until after
the conference in Washington on
July 8, at which time the nation
al craftsmanship is expected to be
settled.
Officials in Washington are
keeping close watch on the de-
velopments in Venezuela, but it
is not believed likely there will
be trouble that will necessitate
an armed force for the protection
of American interests. No tho't
has been given to the concentra-
ton Of any force in that neigh
borhood, but by a coincidence
the American government is in a
position to take care, immediate
ly, of her interests in the event
of an uprising. In the waters OF
the West Indies and the isthmian
canal zone there are a number OF
vessels which could be dispatched
promptly to any scene of trouble,
and no time would be lost in get.
ting them together.

mission is in receipt of hundreds
of complaints, filed within the
past few months, against rail
roads which are alleged to have

Every Prospect Pleases.
BY LEO.

Ter OF our ulSCOIlLSlI 10 SOhCS SSAAN
we have, to our delight, a genia
air full of promise.
First, Col. w. ]. Bryan is dis
pleased with the Chicago plat
form, and almost frantic in fault
finding. 1t seems not to dawn
on his mind that the convention
at Chicago had no idea of build
ing a platform to win the ap'
plause of Bryan. They could not
do it if they tried, and they did
not try. The platform was in
tended to express the average
opinion of the party-and not to
please everybody. It hasaccom-
plished what was intended, and
generally, the Republicans are
we'll pleased. The displeasure OF
Mr.. Bryan is an evidence in its
favor. Had it pleased Bryan, it
would not please the party at
large. We take it as a good ON
en- that the peerless" is dis
pleased.
Second, The Republican party
is a unit. There is no split or a
symptom of one. Before the con-
vention there was some clashing
Just enough to encourage the
Democrats. 1t was hoped that
the split in our party would prove
wide and lasting; but when the
delegates expressed the real mind
of the party, all contention was
silent, and William H. Taft was
made the unanimous nominee OF
the party. The convention was
for Taft because the country
wanted him. The country is still
for Taft and will, beyond doubt,
elect him next November. The
party was never more united on
any candidate, and it still stands
to reason that united we will
stand.
Third, At Denver Col. Bryan
will be nominated. All Repub-
licans hope for it. Many Demo-
Gratis are opposed to his nomina-
ton, but many more favor it.
The majority will win. Bryan
will be nominated. It is said that
he is working at platform making
the rough draft. It matters
not, let him do his level best. 1t
requires much skill to use words
to conceal ideas. And it matters
little what sort of platform will
be adopted at Denver. It Bryan
is nominated, he win be the real
platform. The country knows
the mind of Bryan on matters po-
litical. No platform on which ne
NAV choose to stand will hide his
personality.
Fourth, 1t will be Bryan ver-
sus Taft. The platforms will be
in the shade. Taft and Bryan
will loom up above all phrase
making by skilled politicians.
Narrowed down to this, the
advantage is decidedly in favor
of the Republican nominee
Taft's great experience in state
craft is splendid equipment for
the chief magistracy. Bryan is
a pleasing personality, very flu
ent on the rostrum and a patrl-
otic citizen. But he has had no
experience in governing men.
He was a member Of Congress 9
term or two: all the rest OF ms
political experience has been IN
onposition. He is a Eaerclless
critic, but there is no evidence o.
his constructive craftsmanship
He can demolish; can he build up
Taft is a constructive states
man. Look at his doings among
the Filipinos, see his work in Gu
ba, at Panama, aadwhsreyer puI

Our HooSier Budget.
Portland, Ind, June %, 19

It has been very dry here, with
only one fair rain since the first
of May. The ground is dry and
our city will soon be without q
saloon and then we poor mortalS
will have to go to the wells for
drink. Temperance societies are
at work and lectures are plenti.
full.
Health is fair in our city, with
no contagious diseases. except
purtusis and a few cases of tu-
berculosis. Frank Timmonds, a
young man, has the latter dis
ease and it will soon claim him.
Last spring he went to Phoenix,
Arizona, thinking the mountain
air would partially benefit him,
but received no encouragement
from his stay while there. He is
a bright young man and son of
w. W. Timmonds, late editor of
the Portland Sun.
Lincoln Davidson Of Lafayette,
Ind, is visiting among his rela-
tives in Versailles and in Port
land.
J. Scott English took a notion
to start out and see the world.
He is now at Peoria, ILL.,, where
he struck a good job and says he
likes the place, also his work,
carpentering, at 25c an hour,
which is good wages for an 18-
year-old boy.
The churches here are widea-
wake. The Campbellites have a
large tent erected near the cen
ter of town and are holding meet
ing every night and taking in
some new material daily.
Circuit court has ended the
spring term. Ira Porter was
found guilty of the murder of his
wife last winter and sentenced to
our northern prison for life. A
motion for a new trial was over
ruled by Judge Lafollet and an
appeal to a higher court will be
made soon, but in the meantime
he will strike a job at the peni-
tentiary.
We expect to have a picnic on
the Fourth and music by the
band. We will march out to the
grove, take our dinners along and
lay in the cool shade and hear a
temperance speech. The old vet.
erans have the preference in the
march. Oh, gee! we fellows
marched through Georgia and to
the sea, and for us to walk a.
round for a show now makes us
feel proud and young again! O,
the Glorious Fourth, how it makes
us swell with patriotic Ameri-
canism. Taft and Sherman will
hear the shout that awakes the
frogs on the banks of Saltwater,
Wabash and Salamonie.
Our police force pick up
drunk every few days and senC
him to Jail to board at the city's
expense. A stone pile between
meals would be a good antidott
for many old topers. Work then
on the streets and then run then
out of town. Our country is Ov
errun by the lusty tramp. If the
people would quit the handout
business the hoboes would soOr
take to labor for their living
No hobo that comes to the bacl
door should have anything hand
ed out to him. If you give then
money they get drunk and thel
it's ten days in jail. WedOnO
