All over the land the regular Re-
publican candidates for Congress
are preparing to ask for election or
reelection on the record OF Presi-
dent Taft and the last congress.
Aside from the tariff revision,
with which the public is already
familiar, the predominating features
OF the platform on which the stand.
patters will make their final des-
perate stand are the postal bank
bill and so-called railroad regula-
ton bill.
The railroad bill as passed was
better than existing law. improve.
ments having been forced by Demo-
Gratis and Insurgents. The origin
al draft was one OF the most vicious
piece Of Legislation proposed in con-
gress for years. President Taft sent
this bill to congress with his per-
sonal Endorsement and asked that
1t be passed without amendment.
It provided for q commerce court
which would have destroyed the
usefulness Of the Interstate COM
merce commission, and made appeal
to the tribunals impossible.
II took the railroads from under
the antitrust law. and would have
permitted them to make what rates
they pleased without any effective
check.
IL legalized existing mergers be-
tween existing lines; it contained q
joke provision to regulate the issu-
ing OF railroad securities.
The Democrats and Insurgents
forced some improvements, but
were prevented by administration
influences from putting in provi.
sions which would have been of real
value to the people, such as physi.
cal valuation OF the roads as q basis
Of rate regulation.
Such was the railroad bill that
would have become law Presi.
dent Taft had his way.
AS To POSTAL BANKS

tai savings bank bill that Mr.. Taft
wanted. The effect will be, it is

On Friday, Sept. 80, the great
Sells-Floto shows with all their mag
nificent paraphernalia, and extra adj
ded attractions, will arrive in this
city for a single days engagement.
Every one conversant with the hap
penings of the amusement world. are
aware of the wonderful success which
has crowned the triumphal tour OF
the Sells-F'loto circus this season.
While the circus proper has been en-
larged and comes back to US more
magnificent than ever before, the
price of admission has been cut III
half. A great circus war is raging be-
tween combined circuses on one side,
and the Independent Sells Floto peo-
pie on the other. The latter are car
rying the battle to their opponents
and the people are benefiting there
by. That the move has been a popular
one is attested to by the fact that in
every big city visited this season, the
management were unable to provide
room for their patrons.

How Marksman's Skill Was Made
Useful in Indianapolis.

With pigeons for months, was desert

that escaped the deadly shots from a
32-caliber revolver in the hands OF

Thirty-one dead pigeons, four OF
which were brought down with two
shots, comprised Spangler's record
for the afternoon. The several re-
naming pigeons finally concluded
there We're safer places in Indian
apolis than the monument, and, it is
believed, left for good.
Spangler, who likes to keep in
practice, asked permission of Colonel
q. w. Parker, custodian of the monu-
ment, to shoot the pigeons. Col.
Parker was anxious to get rid Of
them and readily consented. On
Wednesday of this week Spangler

the forty or fifty boys in the crowo
yesterday fought for the dea i
pigeons as they fell to the monu-
ment steps. it is evident that pigeon

indianapolis homes today.
Spangler recently shot eighty-six
pigeons from the Federal building,
where they had become a nuisance.
Many of those which escaped the,.

up their homes anew only to fall
victims to Spangler's deadly aim
Seven of the pigeons killed at the
monument did not fall to the steps,
but became lodged among the stone
which ornament the shaft.
Three were wounded yesterday. only
