Republican administration the total number of new Offices created,
aside from many COMMISSIONS has been &c. 19, entailing an adj
ditonaf expenditure of nearly $~T0,00O,000, as against only 1929
tons, which involved an expenditure Of only $s,OO00O0a2We de-
nounce this great and growing increase In the number of o&ceholders
as not only unnecessary and wasteful, but also as clearly indicating
a deliberate purpose on the part Of the administration to keep the
Republican Party IN power at public expense by thus increasing the
number of its retainers and dependents Such procedure we declare
to be no less dangerous and corrupt than the open purchase of votes

The House of Representative, as controlled in recent years by the
Republican Party, has ceased to be a deiberative and legislative body
responsive to the will of a majority of its members, but has come
under the absolute domination of the Speaker, who has entire control
of it's deliberations and powers of legislation. aa+atfeerrN -
WeehaTe observed with arnazement the popular branch of our
Federal Government helpless to obtain either. the consideration or en-
actment of measures desired by a majority of its members. Ea1as
Legislative control becomes a failure when one member, in the per-
son of the Speaker, is more powerful than the entire body. 81
We demand that the House of Representative shall again become
a deGberahve body, controlled by amajority Of the peoples repre-
sentatiyes and not by the Speaker, and we pledge ourselves to adopt

RlNGLINGS' IN Topeka.
Big Show VIII Arrive Early Tomorrow
Morning.

Tomorrow is circus day. The great
Ringlings shows will be here in the
early morning.
Old Baldy, who was PIP years old
last Saturday is coming to Topeka to
morrow. He is still cheerful in spirit
and hale and hearty-that is for an
elephant. Badly is the largest Of
Ringing Bros herd of forty. He is
of the Asiatic type, not as tall as
Jumbo was, but much heavier.
The first known of Old Badly is that
while George Washington was still
president of the United States he was
taken from somewhere in the wilds
Of India to become a member of the
old geological garden of London, Eng
land. That was on September 5, 1895.
The big fellows age was then estimat-
ed at 100 years and as all living things
as important as Badly must have a
birthday to celebrate, 1t was decided
that the day of his arrival in civiliza-
ton should have that honor.
During the war of rS12 Badly was
brought to America by old John Storm
who operated a small wagon show In
the south. We hear of him again in
1850 as a part of the then famous Dan
Rice show.
Then Badly travelled again with a
circus which at the close of the civil
war sold him to the Rockford. III
park association. In 1872 Charles An
and now living in retirement in Chi
cago, bought the big fellow and placed
it with his menagerie. In 1885 wnen
