THEY MISSED THE KIDS

While the management of the
Sells-Floto circus complain that
the embargo on children attending
the show cost them $1,000, yet they
played to good business notwith-
standing, and last night every seat
was taken.
A good, clean show is given by
the Sells-Floto company, but it
could be improved by the elimina-
ton of many of the smaller vaude-
vile acts-all right in their place,
but a little tiresome when too
many of them are grouped togeth-
er, and the substitution of two or
three more acts of major impor-
lance.
The show has a number of good
things, grouped close together in
two rings and center stage, and
can be followed without a great
deal of effort. In this way it is
getting back to the good old circus
idea when there was one big ring
and the spectator saw all that was
worth seeing.

to some admiring friend, as he may
see fit. When a sufficient number
of these leg bones accumulate, they
are to be destroyed in the furnace
in the basement of the court house.
The new law increases the
bounty on skins to such an extent
as to offer additional inducements
for trappers and hunters to exer.
else diligence in the pursuit of
their calling. The county on cou-
gars is increased from IS to 500,
on wildcats and lynx from $3.50 to
IS. Coyotes remain the same, 81
each, but there is a new bounty of
SIS fixed on the pelts of timber
wolves. This specie of wild animal
is almost extinct in eastern Wash
ington, and is found only on the
Sound country.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Why did
young Claus Spreckels, jr., join his
father in New York, and leave Miss
Mary Adele Case, a pretty opera
singer, after Miss Case had adj
mitted that they were engaged?
Though he was attentive to her
on the ship which both took from
France to New York, he left her
at her hotel and Joined his father
after getting a wireless message
from the latter, who owns part of

Just after Cupid seemed to be
very happy over what he had done
with the young Californian and the
pretty singer, Papa Spreckels start
ed posthaste for New York, while
his son was crossing the ocean
with the young woman, after they
had met at Paris voice studio.
Whatever it was his father had
to tell him, Claus soon was happy
again, for he took long rides in
New York with Miss Case, and
only smiled when asked if they
were to be married.
Papa Spreckles didn't smile, but
he seemed to be doing lot OF

! SUGAR TRUST SAFE
iBy United Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 15.-
Declaring senate about to do zone
more favor for sugar trust" Sena-
tor Bristow of Kansas attacked the
Philippine paragraph in the tariff
bill. He said the paragraph would
give the trust 800 tons raw sugar
at a price lower than the one now
prevailing, but would be refined
and sold at the same price obtained
from higher priced raw sugar. The
discussion of the sugar question
arose when Senator Aldrich call
ed up the paragraph providing free
trade between Philippines and the
states.

SUGGESTION AS TO BEING
PAST as BRING A BLUSH AND
PROTEST FROM HER-lN-
DAMS WE'D.

Auditor Butler tells of an anus
ing incident that happened in the
application of the new marriage
license law. An elderly gentleman,
accompanied by his intended one,
presented himself before the audi
tor and asked for a marriage blank
application. The couple took the
blank with puzzled expression on
their faces and went out into the
hall to discuss the matter, when it
suddenly struck the auditor that
the woman, who looked to be over
the age of As, would not have to
submit to the ordeal of an exam
ination and he hurried out after
the couple.
Madam" said the auditor in his
usual polite way, ''if you are"
and he hesitated little, well know
ing the constituencies of the gentle
sex as to age, madam, if you are
As you-you will not have to sub
NIT to the usual"
Here he was met with a wither-
ing look, as that particular female
admitted to be just several months
on this side of As, and an examina-
ton in that case was required.
At North Yakima Samuel Te-
namsha of Toppenish and his bride
elect, Emma Silatsee of Fort Sim
coe, full blooded Indians, presented
themselves for license. They
were the first applicants under the
new law, and both passed the medi-
cal examination with a clean bill
of health.

luga. The latter il about the most

up to 1000 pounds and inhabits the

which Is whittier than veal and very
dainty-and preserve only the spawn,
OF which they sometimes take as
much As 200 pounds out of one fish.

the river at certain seasons and swal-
lows many large pebbles Of great

build their huts on the great ant heaps
which appear like hills scattered over
the fats. When the Kafue is in food
and the fats are changed into great
lakes these people are safe in their

also take refuge on the ant heaps on

John D.'s simple Tastes.

Mr.. Rockefeller is democratic in all
his habits and tastes. In cold weather
he wears paper waistcOat, as he be
lieves that paper more than anything
else will keep the chest and stomach
warm. He also wears Old-fashiOned
wooden gloves. and when he is seen
outdoors on e winters day he looks
more like an old Yankee farmer than
the richest man in the world. He also
takes great care of his stomach, and
always did: When he is at work on
any puzzling problem he eats spar.
ingly. and recently, when downtown
at his desk in No. rs Broadway, he
would eat nothing more than q Is
cent meal. This is not so much for
economy, however, as for the good of
his health, and many will admit that
Mr.. Rockefeller pursues the proper
course in abstaining from heavy
meals.

itics, but . quest;on Of bsinsss, gov
erned BY the sel6shness Of indivtauals
and localities.
Democratic leaders Of recent years
have insisted that the republican party
adopted the high tariff ideas of Alex
ander Hamilton, and those opposed
to a high tariff frequently attempt to
quote Hamilton - the champion of
the high protective idea. The men
who make this representation are
either ignorant or deliberately attempt
to mislead the public. The first tariff
bill introduced in congress in 1889
provided for q tariff for revenue
only" and had the approval Of Ham
jton, 1t that time secretary Of the
treasury under Washington. The
bill was reported to the house BY Mad
ison, and through the efforts Of the
followers of Thomas Jefferson . pro.
tective duty averaging 8 per cent was
incorporated in the bill. After the
war of 1872, the tariff duties we're in
creased on IN average Of "a per cent.
In 1928, the year Jackson'was elected
president, duties were increased on IN
average 4S per cent.
In nearly every great tariff contest
the followers Of Jefferson and jackson
have fought to protect the products
grown and articles manufactured in
their particular localities, and in SELL
ing out to the ''hoase machine" the
twenty-five democrats were only up
holding the Jefersonian and Jackso-
nian ideas of tariff reform, which
means protection for democratic COM
munities, regardless of other sections
of the country.

The bank guarantee bill, if it
ever becomes q law without amend
ments, will prove farce. Itprovides
for creating fund of $488, 900 to pro-
tect deposits in state banks amounting
to $65,OOO,OOO. The assessments
against the banks shall not be with
drawn therefrom, but remain on de-
post in the banks. In the event of Q
hank falling, the depositors have sixty
days in which to file their claims. In
the course of time these claims will be
passed upon by q court of competent
jurisdiction and paid, if there is enough
money in the guarantee fund. This is
not the immediate payment plan pro.
missed BY Mr.. Bryan. In fact it is
doubtful, in the event offailure of half
. dozen state banks, during a panic, if
depoators would receive more than .
small per cent of their deposits. As
It now stands, the guarantee law is q
farce.

THE NEW CABINET.

Strictly speaking the president of
the United States has no cabinet, that
is to say, there is no integral body of
constitutional advisers to whom he is
bound to listen and who derive their
authority from the approval of the
majority of the Legislature for the time
being, Is is the case of the kings min.
listers in England. What We call the
presidents cabinet is composed of the
heads of the several administrative de-
partments. selected BY him, with the
advice and consent of the senate, pri-
marily for the management Of these
departments, and subject in practice
to retirement at the presidents discre-
ton. Their relation to the president
and to congress is somewhat ill.de6ned,
and disputes regarding it arise from
time to time, but usually the control
Is tacitly in the president. He is not
obliged to consult them, even as to
matters in their departments, but he
habitually does, not only Is to these
but q to matters of broad policy. The
degree to which the influence of each
is felt depends largely on bis person.
atty and on the degree of confidence
and harmony he succeeds in estab-
fishing.
While the cabinet is not, in our gov
eminent, . body Of official advisers,
jointly responsible and entitled to be
heard, it is plain that its members can
be Of very great service to . president
inclined to seek and capable of using
sound counsel. Undoubtedly Presi.
dent TAFT has selected the members of
his family" q it is the habit of Wash.
ington to call them, with reference to
this service. While none of them,
