Show. The date of it's appearance here
is Thursday, August II, and it IS SAID
to be bigger and better than ever. The
Ringlings are known to fulfill every
promise they make
When the circus opened its season
in Madison Square Garden in New
York the city was simply paralyzed
with amazement They were not used to
seeing such a show as Ringlings, SO
naturally they were amazed. The pa
pers. one and all, took their hats off
figuratively, and said it was the best
circus ever seen there.
When it appears in this city the same
program will be given, not one act hav-
ing been changed. 1t is an all-feature
show Not content with the reputation
of owning the best and biggest of all
shows the Ringlings have kept on
growing and improving. 1t is their
policy to grow and they couldn't help
but grow
The foreign agents of the show
searched Asia and Europe last winter
for the perfc mers that are giving the
extensive and novel program, and ar
lists and artisans worked night and
day in the foreign work shops of the
show near Liverpool, England, build
ing the new parade and the novel prop
critics that are used.
In it's new dress the circus presents
an inspiring picture. There are twelve
acres of canvas and over this novel
city of white thousands of flags are
waving.
To match the new parade and the
company of foreign artists there is
greatly enlarged menagerie. At the
head of it is Darwin the missing link.
There are forty elephants. The train
that is to bring the show to town
has SIS double-length cars. 1t travels
in five sections. It covers over one
mile of track when the various sec
lions are joined into one continuous
train.

Decay of the Epffhef

Even in the heat of the fight over
the budget British politicians lack that
freedom of simplicity of expression
,that characterizes our western repub-
llc AS yet neither Mr. Asqufth nor
Mr. Balfour has called the other a
liar or a knave. The British public
thinks 1t is excited, party speakers
on poth sides imagine that their op-
ponents run to abuse, but they have
never known the joys of a nlayoraIty
election in New York
The phlegmatic British tempera-
ment seems to act as clog upon
truly democratic ideals. liberty
makes slow progress under such dead
ening influences. An irascible duke
who fears that he will have to nav
taxes on his land denounces Mr.. Lloyd-
George, the chancellor of the exche-
quer, as a socialist, Jack Cade or Wat
Tyler. Mr.. Balfour refers to him indf-
rectly as a political bully Not be-
ing possessed by that volcanic love of
abstract principles that inspires Mr..
Hearst. Mr.. WINS, and Judge Gaynor
on the stump, the British chancellor
dukes" who threaten to kill the bud
get as wild backwoodsmen" and
"goldfishes.' "They have been scold-
ing like omnibus drivers" he remarks.
In New York this seems tame bust
ness. Any American high school boy
would be capable of describing Win
ston Churchill as "a turncoat and
renegade The best the Duke of Rut-
land can do is to describe Mr. Church,
i'll as !" a wild and brutal socialist"
and the government as a pirate crew
of political tatterdemalions"
After writhing for centuries under
the iron foot of the oppressor they
are slow in Europe in learning the
ways of a people truly free / is only
occasionally, as at the recent socialist
congress at Leipzig, where orators ad-
dress one another on the floor as
"liar," monkey" '.ass," and fool"

A BRIGHT new STAMP.
Twelve Hundred Artists Submitted
Designs to Red Cross.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp for
this year is a bright little "sticker" for
use on letters and parcels that is yer
different in design from the one used
last year. The new stamp was chosen
out of 1900 designs submitted to the
American Red Cross by as many diff
ferent artists over the country. The
stamp is one inch square, printed in
bright Christmas colors, red and green,
the inscription being in white letters.
The most conspicuous thing on the
stamp is a, red cross, significant of the
cause for which the stamp is sold.
Above the cross on green holly leaves
are clusters of red holly berries. The
stamp is surrounded by a border of
small red crosses, and the whole design
presents a cheerful Christmas appear
ance when pasted on a letter or pack
age containing a Christmas gift. The
stamps sell at one cent each and the
Red Cross will use the money to fight
the white plague in the states in which
the stamps are sold.
The design of the stamp follows:

PETITION IS FILED.
In United States Supreme Court in the
Boycott Cases.

Washington, Nov. 27--On behalf of
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, the labor leaders, a
petition was filed in the supreme court
tiorari requiring the court of appeals
the District of Columbia to certify
to the nations highest tribunal for it's
revision and determination the appeal
taken by them in the famous Bucks
Stove and Range case.
In the petition it is stated that "the
questions involved in the case are of
great public Importance, affecting the
views and conduct of many millions of
people, including two million who are
by reputation made defendants in the
principal action
The constitutional right of these
people "of saying by word of mouth
or printed publication to each other or
to others that they do not propose to
deal with the plaintiff or purchase it's
products" is advanced and the argu-
ment is made that several courts have
sustained this contention.
Though the district court of appeals
denied that they acted within their
constitutional rights through affirm
ance of the conviction of the three
"a Dor leaders for contempt corollary to
the original suit, it is urged that a
difference of opinion on that point ex-
lists, in the court of appeals, one mem
Der of which dissented from the judg-
ment of the majority Of the tribunal.
