THE BONUS TO FACTORIES.
Editoriaily, in its issue of August "
in an article headed Work of the Louis
lana Legislature, the Tines-Democrat
says 1t looks more and more probable
that the extra session viii be limited
as WE thought ii would be, to the pass
age Of the exposition bill and the vital
izing Of the locker law, and that the
other measures before it will be side

IRE, whereby the privilege is granted Of
raising bonuses for factories by special
tax, has already received dangerous
blow in the unfaYorable report of the
judiciary committee. 1t is to be hoped
and believed that the Shreveport legis-
lafors who are responsible for this meas
IRE will appreciate the situation and not
allow this act TO become a disturbing
element in the extra session.
The Shreveport Legislators, appreciat-
ing the situation. had this act Withdrawn.
II was withdrawn By Senator Barrett and
therefore can not become disturbing
element nor can the Caddo representa-
itves be charged, thereafter, with any
responsibility for the defeat of the
Panama Exposition tax which is fore
doomed
And in the same article, referring to
the bonus to factories, the Times Dem-
ocrat says 1t would throw disturb

pressions 81 the country press; and even

would be gained, as the State courtsI
would utsquestionably follow the judy
nent Of the United States Supreme
Court and declare the law unconstitu-
tional: null and void, as taking one
mans property TO enrich another
To say the least, such twaddle from

tive Of discredit on the conceded aver

SYMPATHY FOR OTIS

New York Oct. 13-Resolutions relating to the destruction of the Los Angeles Times building and ex- tending sympathy to the owner, Gen eral Harrison Gray Otis, were adopt ed unanimously today, by the board of directors of the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers. The resolu- tions in part are as follows:
 This board recognizes this act of destruction of life and property as in line with the general policy of criminal unionism as eXemplified by innumerable cases of resorting to the use of dynamite to enforce the doctrine of rule or ruin and that it places responsibility therefore not only upon the human tools who ac- tually perpetuated the crime, but, in due proportion, upon those who in any manner foster an organiza- ton whose line of conduct leads to such a result"

situation. and republican victory i. | probable.
 Aside from this ascendancy of the | reform element in the republican par | ty, the most potent cause of the
 change in public opinion has been re- 1 flection on the consequences which would surely result from democratic control of the new house of repre- sentatives. We believe the prevailing view was very well expressed by Sen ator Lodge of Massachusetts the other
 day, when he said:
 What do they propose to punish us
 for now? It is not very easy to find
 out Some of the statements made
 are extremely vague. Generally it
 comes down to dissatisfaction with
 the tariff And what is it they pro-
 pose to do? They propose to enter on another and immediate wholesale
 revision of the tariff under democratic auspices, with the results of the re- vision of 1894 staring them in the face. It may punish the republican
 party to put them in the minority in
 the house of representatives, but it punishes the country a thousand times more"
 The Hon. Champ Clark, who will succeed Speaker Cannon if the demo- crats win, glories in the statement: T am a free trader from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet" and the whole country is at last con- sidering what it will mean to give MT. Clark the power to pass bills in- tended to destroy the protective sys- tenn. While there is no probability that the senate can be won by the democrats for some years to come, the country realizes that democratic control of the house will lead to in- terminable discussion of the tariff question and to a serious disturbance of business. Indeed, the very possi- bihty that the democratic party may regain control of the lower house of congress has cast already a chill over business throughout the eastern and middle states. and there is a marked 1 disposition to halt until the result of | the election is known.
 When the question is squarely put | before the country, it has no desire l to see repeated the conditions which l prevailed during the last period of | democratic rule at Washington-when | business everywhere was demOralized, | was destroyed, hundreds of | thousands of men were out of em- ployment, and free soup kitchens were a prominent feature in every city.

Republican Prospects Improvina.

Sixty days ago it appeared certain that the democrats would carry the house of representatives this fall That apparent certainty has given place to mere possibility. There has been an obvious change in public senti- ment during the past few weeks Whether the reaction will be suf- ficiently strong to give the victory to the republicans cannot be determined until the election returns are in.
 This change toward the republican party is due, of course, to the result of sober reflection by the American people. It is easy to find fault with "Cannonism" and "Aldrichism," and if these were the issues-and the re- publican party could in honesty be identified with them-the democratic party would have better prospects. But the republican party has shown this year more virility than for many years. It has exhibited a surprising ability to accomplish reforms within itself. Within few months the lead CTS whose policies created the wave of insurgency have been shorn of their prestige and reduced to the ranks. and new leaders are at the front This reforming of the battle lines in the face of the enemy and on the very eve of battle. has been the political marvel of the year. In New York, for instance. where the re- publicans had practically abandoned hope, the utter defeat of the machine bosses and the nomination of an ex- ceptionally strong ticket under the advice and leadership of Taft and Roosevelt has completely changed the

ABOUT SUCKING HORSES.
The Real Article, Ridden by Genuine Cowboys, Will Be Seen With the
 Wild West and Far East.

Let no one fear that there will not be plenty of excitement with the Wild West and Far East when it exhibits in this city IctOber 24th. There will be an abundanc of the genuine sort, and not the least will be furnished by the rough riders who constitute an inn pOrtant element of the entertainment. These hOrsemen, drafted from the equestrian nations of the world, will furnish widev ariety of daring feats. ranging from the reckless riding of the Russian COssacks to the daredevil saddle work of our own American cowboys.
 Aside from displays of genral adapt ability to a life in the saddle, the cow boys will give a practical demonstra- tion of "broncho busting" which is sure to arouse great enthusiasm It should be remembered that the bron- chO of today is a direct descendant of the wild horse of the West which served as the American Indians best frend during the time his happy hunt ing ground comprised what is now a white mans continental paradise.
 What is a "bucking horse;" why
 
 what does the rider do? are questions which will all be answered with prac- tical demonstrations during the forth coming visit of the Wild West At least insofar as the aid and consent of the broncho can be enlisted, these questions vii be answered. Just why a broncho bucks may never be known, unless the fact shall be accepted that he objects to anybody riding him. due probably to his remebrances of the times when his ancestors or himself ran wild and untrammeled upon the prairies.
 There are several varieties of buck ing, and it seems that some of the bronchoes invent new ideas as they go along. The goat-buck is very pop ular as well as the most unpleasant style of bucking affected by the broncho. In this style of deviltry the horse lifts himself in the air and comes down on al fours, feet striking the ground stiff-legged and admins tering by this method about twerty jolts a minute If this method fails to dislodge the hateful rider the broncho then starts upon the varia- tions.
 He will drop his head between his legs. arch his back into a curve and do some fancy bucking, acting on the desire to throw the rider over his head. Suddenly he will leap to the right. and then as quickly to the left and, to further unbalance his burden, he is apt to put in a few sidewise twists in mid-air Next follows combination of the various move ments, bucks twists. turns and kicks dashing madly forward, then sidewise and then up and down This is about as near to a written description of the bronchos dexterity as one can supply.

Why the Biq Hats?

Curious and baffled mankind has been trying for two years or so to find a satisfactory answer to the question: Why do women wear big hats?"
 The London Times presumes to fur nish the answer; and when the Times promulgates an opinion it is to settle the question in controversy-there is nothing more to be said, except, pos sibly, an interpretation of what the Times has said. But hear the Thur derer:
 Tt is commonly said that women are more unselfish than men. And so they certainly are in the home. They will sacrifice themselves utterly for particular men and particular chil- dren. Yet they will not sacrifice an inch of hat brim or feather for the common convenience, and they will not tell us the reason of this seem- ing inconsistency
 Men remonstrate. and they smile and continue to wear the hats and the feathers. Therefore it remains for us to guess at the reason of this behavior so strange to us, and we can only guess that it is the result of a sense of the relative importance of things different from our own.
 When a man goes to a lawn tennis tournament he goes to see the play and he assumes that women go for the same reason. Some do, of course, but they are not representative of their sex. They are women who have adopted the mans point of view, who are overpOwered by the influence of their fathers or husbands or brothers The woman whose natural instincts have free play does not consider that any game is important.
 She is not, as man is,- a game playing animal. But since man all ways will be playing games she has arrived at kind of compromise with him. She will go to watch his games and profess an interest in them, on condition that she may attend to her own business all the while, and her business is to wear a large hat or whatever else it pleases her to wear.
 Tt may seem a frivolous business to the earnest lawn tennis player, but then his lawn tennis seems frivolous to her. It is just a peculiarity of his sex to make a fuss about it; she ac- cepts his peculiarities without fret ting about them, and expects him to accept hers.
 And after all, dress to women is something more than a game. It is one of their means of expressing themselves. Fine clothes make them feel happy and as if they were in a glorified state of existence, freed from the wear and tear of its life; in fact, as if they were true birds of Paradise, with all the splendor of Paradise in their plumage."
 All of which means. we suppose, that women wear big hats because it pleases them to wear 'em And doubt less this is as good an explanation as any that can be offered. F.

From Casual Examination.

An examination of the roster of the standing committees of the constitu- tional convention suggests that the radical element, which is In full con- trol, does not propose to concede any thing to the conservative democrats.
 The chairmanships are so distrib- uted that President Hunt and those test can retain undisputed control of the machine.
 Also. there again crops up ample evidence of the determination to throw the hooks into Maricopa." :" There are very few lawyers in the convention, and of these the active lawyers from Maricopa county-Baker and Franklin-rank with the best
 But neither Baker nor Franklin gets the chairmanship of the judiciary committee. Instead, it goes to Gun ningham. a lawyer of extremely mod
 
 Neither do Baker nor Franklin get any other chairmanship.
 And Webb of Graham, who was Hunts leading opponent for the presi- dency of the convention, gets no chairmanship at all, Webb, by natu- ral fitness and long legislative expe- rience, is one of the best qualified men in the convention for a chair manship. But there are several ob- jections to him, in the minds of the controlling faction. He had the te- meTity to be a candidate for president of the convention, he is too con- servative," and possibly being Nor mon" has something to do with it.
 Winsor, on the other hand, gets two of the most important chairmanships: Rules and Procedure" and "Legisla- tive Department. Distribution of Pow CTS. and Apportionment" This latter committee is the most important of all. Winsor, like Webb, was candi- date for president of the convention but Winsor and Hunt train together
 It is notable, also, that Ellinwood has no chairmanship-bu it may be safely taken for granted that MT. FL linwood was not disappointed.
 It is also observable that certain special interests are duly taken care of. President Hunt is interested in banking, and the committee on "Pri- vate Corporations and Banks" appears to be made up exclusively of bankers
 Neither will the liquor interests have cause to complain The committee on Matters for Separate Submission" is made up. as to the majority, of gen. tlemen who want no prohibition in theirs and two of whom, we under stand, have been interested in the liquor business.
