of Is was given over to the consid-
Grafton Of the right to invoke the
initiative and referendum, along the
line of direct legislation.
All of the commissioners were In
favor of these provisions. which al
ready exist In the present city
charter, but some of the members
wanted to make the percentage re-
Quired on petitions 30 high for a
special election as to make the pro-
visions prohibitive except at a gen.
eral election. The labor represent
atives stood for as low a percentage
for the special election as at the
general elections. In the end 1t was
agreed to ask 10 per cent petitions
for general election and 20 per
cent for q special election.
Another debate was had on the
question Of limiting the time In
which the Initiative and referendum
was applicable for special elections.
Four voted to make no special cleo
ton Of this character possible
within six months of a general cleo
ton, which would mean that there
would be but one of the two years
intervening between general elec-
lions in which a special election OF
this kind could be called. The labor
members stood out for so days

vailing general expression.
Mrs. May Arkwright Hutton, suf-
fraget leader, says there is no doubt
but her cause will be victorious
and she has canvassed the state,
and knows the situation thoroughly.
A canvass Of people on Riverside
avenue this morning resulted in
about half and half vote on the
question Of the state constitutional
amendment for equal suffrage. The
questions aroused a good deal of
amusement at some times and a
good study of human nature could
be made from the effect that the
question caused on the faces of the
ones Intercepted. On some, the
question caused a flicker of amuse-

FOR LINDSAY

Commissioner George Armstrong
Of the city water department has
recommended to the council that
the salaries of Superintendent Lind
say Of the water department, the
chief foreman and four construc-
ton foremen be increased. 1t is
suggested that Lindsay be raised
from $3.50 to SITS per month, that
the chief foreman be raised from
$125 to $3.50 per month and that the
four sub-foremen be increased from
"a to IS per day. Armstrong gives
as his reason for desiring the in
crease that these men are highly
competent and are worth more
money than they are at present re-
ceiving.

Broad for $4,000. There is a
great deal of vacant property
along the line of construction and
the property owners prefer greatly
to have no sewer at all than to
have one put through at that fig
ure. They say that while a sewer
Is needed it is not needed at that
price. The taxes will amount to
about 81 the front foot, which will
mean in the neighborhood of $3.50
for every 50-foot lot, and as great
many of the lots are vacant 1t will
mean an almost useless expendi-
ture for some. Residents are will
ing to pay anything in reason, but
think that this amount is exhorbi-
tant to say the least.

One hears 4 great deal about the
aristocracy of the stage. The JEFF
ferson and Drews and the Barrymores
point with pardonable pride to long
ancestral line which has achieved
greatness behind the glare of the
footlights.
One hears little of the aristocracy
of the "sawdust and spangles-" The
reason for this, perhaps, is that the
circus is not always in the public
eye, while the stage is omnipresent.
With the circus the season is short
and quickly does it spread its wings
and cover tho country. The real
aristocracy of the amusement world.

l think you are q really great eques-
trienne."
Thank you" replied Miss Ship.
my maternal grandmother was a
really great equestrienne." The flash
in her eye denoted the great pride
she felt in her lineage. While the
aristocracy of the stage is fast be-
coming a memory, this is due to the
changes made by time. In the old
stock days, actors made long stops
in cities, did not lead nOmadic lives
and had homes. Their children
seemed to fit naturally into the the
atrical groove. When the era of.
travel came in and the actor had no
settled abode for any length of time
he either did not marry, or if he
did. and had children, they were kept
away from the influence of the play
house. Conditions with the circus
today are practically the same as they
have always been. 1t is a form OF
entertainment that is given in large
part by families. There are circus
performers whose first Fairgrounds
were the old earth-banked rings. The
performer who cannot go back at
least two generations in his circus
ancestry is a fedgling. In speak

without a reference to the Robin

time had the largest circus in the
world. John Robinson, still hale

drive and handle four horses in a
ring. The wonder of all the Robin
son family and in fact, of the circus
world in his day, was James Robin

bareback rider of the world and
when James A. Bailey took the Bar
