DEMocRAoY,s DEFuNcr PLATFORM
Senatorial view OF what Constitutes
n Party obligation.
sprlnefleld lMassl KepuhI

Springfield tMsss) ~Republican.
II may be a waste " time to discuss the
question as to what constitutes the prin-
ciples ~ the democratic party, but the
theory OF the democratic senators that a
platform which was Associated with a
party defeat Ia not binding upon them. in
playing the role Of the opposition in con-
gress, deserves to Se noted. Inasmuch as
there has been no national democratic
platform associated with a victory Since
1892, and inRsmuch as the honorable sens-
tors long ago cast that into the ragbag,
they are now'A law unto themselves on all
questions Of party policy. SO far as the
tariff Is concerned. they repudiate both
Cleveland and Bryan. As MIR. simmons
Of North Carolina frankly says: Il am
considering the interests OF the people Of
my state" And this is all that Is left OF
tariff reform, practically speaking, in the
democratic party.

In a more restricted way. but with equal
emphasis, william Loeb, jr, Is giving exit
billions in the New YORK. custom house OF
the shake-ups and shake-downs with which
he became familiar while secretary to
President Roosevelt. The pain caused by
the iolts induce screams that are heard In
Washington. sending New Hork's senators
and congressman skurrying to the depart
ments in search Of palliatives. The trouble
is due to a sup~erRbundance Of Oslerized EN-
ployes i'm the custom house. They will not
die or resign. To secure the needed eff
cheney and keep within the fixed percentage
OF running expenses, Collector Loeb re.
duced the salaries Of fifty-eight aged in
spectors ano fifteen weighers, virtually
placing them or a graded pension list, and
out Of the amount saved hired active men
to do the work.
A. present there are SOC day inspectors,
1n night inspectors and III assistant weigh
ers. The inspectors are required to board
ships, examine baggage. and this work
some Of the men were unable to perform
satisfactorily because Of physical disabili-
ties due to age. Collector Loeb believed
that the government work was suffering
from this defective service, though the old
employees were as faithful as they could be,
and having spent their lives in the service
the collector would not listen to their dis
charge in their old age. To get around the
difficulty the civil service board was APP
pealed to, all the men being classified, and
II was decided to denote the men, which
is the civil service term for reducing them.
These men will be given work as watch
men. messengers and other easy jobs. and
those who cannot do any work will prac-
tically be in receipt Of a pension from the
government.

FOR DARING THIEF

[. Thurman, proprietor of the Bos-

from him.
Then Mr.. Thurman notified the po-
lice. Even Charles Butterfield was
awakened from his forenoon nap 10
start in the general pursuiU.
The stranger was followed down to
the jungle, back and around, and fin
ally arrested. The sleuths were too
wary to let their quarry escape.

BIG CIRCUS AT MADISON
Barnum And Bailey To Exhibit There
On Wednesday, July 2S.-Fine
Attraction.

The Barnum & Bailey greatest
show on earth is to visit Madison on
Wednesday, July 26. Never since the
beginning of time has an amusement
enterprise SO tremendous in size been
organized as this one. It's magnitude
is almost beyond belief. All America,
together with every foreign coun ry,
has been secured from end to end by
agents of this big show in search of
novelties and the result is perform
ance brim full OF sensational acts new
to the circus world. In the big Bar
mum & Bailey show are nearly 400
arenic stars, most of whom are seen
now for the fist time. A new sensa-
tion will be seen at every performance
in "Jupiler, the balloon horse" This
remarkable animal with its fearless
rider ascends to the dome of the circus
tent in balloon and descends to the
ground in a shower of fireworks.
Nearly 1000 animal wonders are to be
found in the big 108 cage menagerie.
Eight herds of elephants, including
one herd that actually plays upon mu-
sical instruments in time. and ture,
group of giant giratfes, monstet aim
ed hippopotamus, only living BIZ. rn-
ed rhinoceros and hundreds of other
strange beasts. Barnum & Baiey's
big, new, free street parade is the most
gorgeous professional display ever at
tempted in the history of the circus
business. Its tremendous size and
wonderful length can only be believed
in the actual seeing. 1t is natura! to
expect this big circus to lead all others
in quality and quantity of its street
spectacle as well as in other depart
ments of the big show, yet never in it's
splendid history of nearly half CEN
tury has it displayed such extrava-
gance as is shown this year.

Jail under medical treatment. Stout
was found in a buggy shed on the farm

deranged. He was brought up to Win
chester and turned over the Sheriff
King and then it was discovered that
the unfortunate man was suffering
with a genuine case of delirium trem-
ems.
When Stout got off the train he i'm
mediately spied a pig with Mother
Hubbard" wrapper on, and told the
boys he could see beautiful maidens
floating through the air in touring cars
and he tried to tip his hat to them.
OFFICER Ed Durr then hurried him to
the lookup as soon as possible. just
