THE QUESTION BEFORE THE
VOTERS.

In the submission of the Com.
binatiOn ticket to the voters OF
Lafayette. there is no question
of bosses or bossiSm, it is a plain
presentation to the voters OF
the question whether they be-
lieve that there r times when
a factional fight should be
avoided and whether this par
ticular time of business depres
sion is the proper time.
The men concerned in the for
nation of the com bination ticket
believe that now. if ever, it is
to the best interest OF the town
to avoid a political fight, and
believing so, actuated by a spirit
of good citizenship. men of both
factions, substantial citizens and
men who have always taken a
leading part in every move hav,
ing for it's object the welfare
of the town, laid aside their
political differences and united.
and submitted a ticket of fine
personnel for approval OF
the people.
Another ticket has been placed
in the field, and this puts the
issue square up to the people,
not whether you prefer this
man or that, but whether you
believe that there are times
when political fights are mex
pedient and should be done
away with, and whether this is
one of the times.
It is now up the voters to say
by their ballots whether they
endorse the spirit of comprO-
mise or not. The election >of
the Combination ticket will show
that it's spirit and purpose is
approved. If it is not, then ii
will be taken for granted that
the people want more than one
ticket in the field at elections,
and that will mean the perpet
uation of factions-which ought
to be evident can not be for the
best interests of the town. "A
house divided against itself Can
not stand. and a faction ridden
town can make but little head.
way along the road of progress.

The first monkeys in the world that

winter are those that will come to
Washington next Week with the Gen
try Brothers shows. These monkeys.
however, are not Of the kind that die of
tuberculosis. the dread disease that
claims so many well-trained simians,
The story Of how these animals be-
came acclimated to indiana is interest
ing Their career as open air patients
has attracted no end OF attention from
the medical world. When the world Of
science evolved the theory that fresh
air was the only antidote for tlbercli-
losis in the human family, IA B. Gen
Try, general manager OF the Gentry
Brothers shows, gave an ear to the
talk OF the physicians.
Tuberculosis is the monkeys greatest
bane. Some of his best trained animals
died from the scourge. After due cor
sideration be decreed that he would try
the fresh air treatment on the animals.
-Four of them were destined to spend
the winter in the open air. A drygoods
box was their only protection from the
elements.
Dame Nature soon devised a plan 20
protect the monkeys. Simians that had
but light coats soon took on heavy
coats of hair The experiment with the
Gentry monkeys was watched BY the
world or science. In the last five wears
the Gentry Brothers have lost ONLY two
monkeys from the plague. Before the

the Gentry camp would run from fif-
teen to twenty monkeys a winter.

would bring thousands Of persons from
all parts OF the country to the Ma
Fional Capital, who are anxious TO be-
come more proficient at the art Of gard
ening, from an estehtic. as well as a
/ commercial standpoint.
Should the committee. at its meeting
tonight. decide upon the home-garden-
ing plan, II viii be the result Of a
suggestion made at the public meeting
held in the Raleigh Hotel a week ago
10 the effect that a national floral show
be held in Washington. It was pointed
out that such a show would attract a
large number Of persons to the Capital
and would be tho means OF advertising
20 large extent local commercial re-
sources.
Would Bring Thousands.
But where a floral show would brig
hundreds Of persons to washington, an
exhibit on bome-gardening would bring
thousands, IL IS claimed. as it's inter-
ests are much more extensive. The fact
Of the Department OF Agriculture being
In Washington also gives additional in
terest to the home-gardening plan, as
the exhibit could be made to possess
great educational value.
The suggestion Of holding such an ex-
hibit was today strongly commended by
George w. Cable. of Northampton,
Mass, who is one Of the best-known
writer's in the United States on topics
dealing with the culture of flowers and
gardens. Mr.. Cable is attending the
convention Of the National Federation
Of Art at the New Willard and made
an address on the Northampton prize
flower garden competition.
A floral show could not have the
widespread interest as an exhibit on
home-g gardening, according to Mr..
Gable. and, in the latter, he pointed out,
more attention should be paid to tie
artistic feature than the commercial.
With the resources which Washington
has for holding such an exhibit, Mr..
Cable suggested that pictures could be
secured showing the finest gardens n
all sections of the country. which would
give no little additional value TO the
exhibit This. he believes. in itself
would attract n sufficient number of
persons TO Washington to make the ex-
hibit a success, so that the CONNER
cial feature could be eliminated entire
ly. and only the artistic feature accen-
tuated.
The meeting will be called to order
tonight by the chairman of the COM
mittee, Isaac Cans. Representative
Kahn, Of California, has been invited
TO be present, as have also the three
Of the District It is
practically certain that steps will be
taken 20 adopt a definite plan for the
advertising OF the commercial resources
OF the National Capital. and that the
suggestion Of a national home garden
ing exhibit win be seriously considered
by the committee as the plan 20 be
finally adopted.
