Not Disturbing Situation.
Government officials in Washington are
not greatly disturbed over the situation
as whole. for it is well under
stood that this country can quite as we'll
afford to pay the French maximum rate
as France can afford to pay ours.
Dispatches from Paris have from time
to time been published in American news
papers. since the passage of our new
tariff act. indicating that the French gov
eminent was making serious efforts to
obtain an extension of the present agree
ment in this country. This effort has
failed for one important reason, and
that is that under the terms of that act
no continuation Of present reciprocal
trade agreements or notifications of the
new act were possible.
President Without Authority.
The President of the United States was
given no authority in the matter what
ever, Congress having stated in the act
itself that all trade agreements should
be terminated on certain specified dates.
and that thereafter all countries should
be placed upon exactly the same footing;
that Is to say, countries which give to
the products of the United States the
benefits of their minimum rates should
receive the benefits of our scheduled
rates, and countries which unduly dis
criminate against American goods should
be required to pay an additional % per
cent duty. This direct declaration left the
President of the United States without
any authority either to continue or mod
lily any existing agreements and with
out authority to enter into new ones.

SENATOR BALEY'S TARIFF DIS
CCSSION

No fair-minded man, regardless
of his politics, could make other dec
laratiOn than that Senator Bailey 5
speech in Dallas Saturday night was,
if not the greatest effort of his life.
by far the ablest and most dignified
discussion on a political question that
has ever been heard from that gen
tleman by Texas audience. With the
record of the past obscured for the
time by the dignity to be found even
in the shadow of the pure man and
great democratic commoner whom
he was to answer Senator Bailey
stood before an audience of Texas
voters as the defender of political
policy and not a personality. The role
was an unusual one. and because of
its unusualness was a pleasing
change. Senator Bailey on the de-
fensiye has become a common thing
in Texas, but Senator Bailey as the
defender of a political issue was al
together new. For this elevation Mr..
Bryan is alone responsible, and we
hope the gentleman elevated is
properly grateful.
The admission that Senator Bal
ley's speech was great effort does
not necessarily take with il the ac-
Acknowledgement that it was great be-
cause of its convicing argument. 1t
was a studied speech, delivered well,
and behind the speech was one of
the nations brainy men, but when
We come to review it as foundation
on which to build democratic tariff
policy we find lack of concrete and
an overabundance OF sand, all of
which precludes the possibility of a
proper mixture. We are not trespass-
ing on privileges as a democrat TO
oppose Senator Bailey's views, for
ne himself declared in the beginning
OF his address that from the conten-
ZION now on was to be evolved tar
if policy on which democracy could
stand united Let us all hope that
this may be the final outcome, and
so hoping let every democrat inter-
est himself in bringing about a sue
cessful end But can this end be
brought about by following blindly
the lead Of radicalism in either of
its extremes?
Mr.. Bryan. as he is accredited by
Senator Bailey, declares for the doc
Urine OF free raw material. This will
be acceptable to Texas asd to other
producing democratic states, even
though it is purely democratic doc
trine. The virus of protection has al
ready entered the veins of too many
people and purely democratic doc

RINGLING BROTHERS.
Worlds Greatest Circus Is Soon to
Visit Waxahachie.


No announcement will be received
with more pleasure than that of the
arrival in Waxahachie of Ringing
Brothers worlds greatest shows on
Tuesday, October 5th, direct from its
triumphant opening at Madison
Square Garden in New York and
with the greatest and most novel
program ever presented before by
any amusement enterprise.
The Ringing Brothers have made
such rapid strides as purveyors Of
circus amusement that they have
well nigh reached perfection. There
is nothing new under the sun that
under the Ringing tents. This year
they have brought from Europe
everything of merit and strength
that has been seen there since their
agents last went through foraging
for talent.
The ordinary circus is content
with a single feature TO give it dis
tinction, and is not always lucky
enough to get that one, but the
Ringing management has this sea-
son studded its long and varied pro-
gram with no less than seven sensa-
| tiona acts, not a one of which has
| ever been seen in America before.
/ The Schumann performing stations
stand at the head of the list, and af-
/ ter them are the telephoning ele-
! plants, the double somersa ulting
automobile act. Robidello, the wire
dancing wizard. the Arthur Saxon
! trio of men stronger than Samson
| and the TaXimeter performing
| horses. There are still other wonder
| full acts. 1t would take page to
/ adequately set forth what a visit to
Ringing Brothers circus means.
In the foreign workshops of the
| circus at Stoke-onTrent, England,
and at the circus mills in Baraboo,
Wis, an entire new outfit was built
last winter on more t1dDOl dte
scale than ever before. New railroad
cars have been built and over a
hundred new chariots and other par
ade vehicles.
This is the twenty-siXth season of
the Ringing Brothers as showmen,
Last year it was said that their or
sanitation had reached the limit in
size and could scarcely be improved.
| In spite of this belief the manage
ment has succeeded in adding great
| " to the organization while the pro-
gram they are offering is far the
best they have ever had.

Sunday School Contest.

The Sunday schools of the Chris
tan churches of Waxahachie, Hills
boro, Ennis and Corsicana who are
engaged in a contest are still increas-
ing the interest in the Sunday school

The Sunday school at Ennis headed
the list for Sept. 10. The reports of
the various Sunday schools in the
contest are as follows:

on account of scarlet fever and bet
ter reports are expected from them

THE KIND OF ENUMEKATOKS.
Farmers and Crop Reporters for the
Census of Agriculture.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 90
Forty-five thousand enumerators
out of the estimated grant total of
65, 900, will be engaged April 10Th
next in gathering the required in
formation concerning agriculture
for the thirteenth decennial United
States census. Director Durand pur-
poses making every effort to secure
progressive farmers and crop report
ers for these places. His action is
based upon the recommendations of
Chief Statistician LeGrand Powers
and the advisory board of special
agents composed of professors of
economics and farm experts who
have been assisting in the formula
concerning farm operations and
equipment 1t is believed that the
selection of this class of men, already
familiar with statistical methods of
securing data and reporting it in
Comprehensive form, will add great
ly to the efficiency of the census
and to the scientific value of the
information obtained Director Du
rand does not anticipate any diff
Guilty in procuring enumerators of
this kind as there are in every state
of the union, hundreds of crop re-
porters acting for the department of
agriculture, representatives of state
boards OF agriculture, etc.

voting for a measure that would
have benefited newspapers and mag
azines was a personal one-it is I'M
necessary at this time to discuss that
reason further. Senator Bailey says
that when his beliefs and the demo-
cratic platform differ his beliefs
control. Perhaps so, but Ito a man
up a tree" it appears that as between
those things which effect the welfare
of democracy and the political pres
tice and welfare of Senator Bailey
the question is always settled in IA
yor of Senator Bailey. The democra-
CIV of Texas is charitable and long
suffering and in the interest of par
ty reconciliation and success we
make the appeal that principles and
not personalities control in the
great issue now on. If Mr.. Bryan has
Offered Texas and the nation raw

NEW TARIFF BOARD TO MEET.
First session VIII Probably BE Held
Within Next Ten Days.

Washington, Sept 20.-The new
tariff board. which was recently ap-
pointed by the president under the
authority Of the tariff act of 1909,
will probably hold its first meeting
in Washington within the next ten
days for the purpose OF outlining a
plan of operations.
This new board is charged with
the duty of securing information to
aid the president in determining
whether this country is being dis
eliminated against by foreign gov
ernments in the matter of tariff
rates, charges and exactions. Upon
the information received from it will
largely depend the action OF the
president in issuing or Withholding
his proclamations imposing the min
imum rates of duty provided for in
the new act, The act provides that
the maximum rates shall be applied
to all countries on and after March
81, 1910, which unduly discrimin-
ates" against the United States in
the matter of tariff, and in this
wording the authority of the presi-
dent is authorized to use his judg-
ment as to what constitutes undue
discrimination.

CHAPTER XXIV.
By the Blue Bosphoruss

by lIte Blue bOSpnOfuSs
 That evening after light dinner in the big table d'hote room of the hotel we strolled in the sundown to the Galata bridge-that riclxety wooden structure across which passes in hour ly panorama every type of European and of Asiatic. from the frock-coated top-hatted Parisian to the Arab in his buhnouse. the Syrian in his turban, the waddling yelled woman or the wild. armed Kurd from his fan-off native steppe.
 We paused for a few moments to watch the phantasmagoria of life around us. From the minarets of St. Sophia and all the smaller mosques came clear distinct voices of the priests calling the faithful to prayer, while on our left stretched the broad, rippling waters of the Bosphorus, gold en in the glorious sundown.
 We took the steamer from the bridge. across to Scutari the ancient town on the opposite side of the Bosphorus, in Asia, and so we left the EurQpt an shore and stood together on deck look ing back upon Constantinople standing upon it's hill, crowned by it's white domes and tall minarets. and present. ing a truly fairylike picture in the soft eastern glow.
 As the puffing little steamer plowed her way across the calm blue straits that separate two continents we pass ed many caiques full of Turks taking their airing after the heat and burden of the day: while more than one steam launch flying the flag of a foreign embassy passed us on the way up the Bosphorus to Therapia, that town of white palaces at the waters edge, where the representatives of foreign powers have their summer quarters.

Policy Shop Managers , Fined and Warned
 By Prosecutor Banks

The Criminal Common Pleas court this morning disposed of seven more cases of persons charged with con- ducting policy shops. Ed. Quigley, John D. Carpenter, John Dustin and Jo- seph Smith were each fined $100, while George Moore, George Farnam and James Coe were each fined $50. This was the first time that the last three were ever haled before the court for this offense.
 Prosecuting - Attorney Fillmore S. Banks recommended a fine of $50 in the case of Smith, but the prosecutor from South Norwalk was on hand and whispered to Banks that Smith had been before him for the same cause and fifty dollars more was tackled onto Smiths fine Attorney Banks made it known to the policy men that the un- derstanding is the same in these cases as in the cases disposed of last week; that is if they are ever before the city court and sivn a jail sentence from which they should appeal, they will either have to take the jail sen tence from the court or go before jury. Carpenter, paid the fines of all accused, amounting to S550. The game is not played very deeply in this city. but it is a we'll known fact that in most of the larger factories it is car ried on extensively, parties buying parts of tickets and splitting the profits.
