On Monday, July Is.

vi "1Onudyi July 20.
The Barnum and Bailey Great
est Show on Earth is the power
full magnet that will draw thous-
ands of people from Lexington
and vicinity on Monday, July %,
to Kansas City. The railroads
viii make a special low rate and
excursions win be run.
A glance at the list of features
offered by this circus discloses
many wonders. Jupiter, 1.-THE
Balloon Horse takes a trip to
the dome Of the tent and come
back to earth amid a shower of
fireworks. Desperate, a rash
Frenchman, dives from the top of
the arena to the ground, lighting
on his bare chest. Charlie the
First, a chimpanzee, presents a
greater bicycle and acrobatic act
than any man ever achieved. A
company of fifty clowns creates
~incessant laughter. A member
of the Siegrist-Silbon family of.
aerialists, blindfolds his eyes and
leaps across the entire width of
the arena, turns a double somer-
sault on the way and catches the
wrists of a comrade who hangs
head down from a flying swing.
The Abreu family of Mexican
gymnasts introduce a great novel
ty act. Berzac's horses present
an amusing play, the scene of
which is laid in a country inn.
One horse plays landlord and an
other is the town constable. The
other horses make very amusing
boarders. Paula Peters monkey
and dog circus holds the attention.
of the audience for half an hour.
A mastiff william sets fire to the
hero cottage. The dog fire
department responds. The cap
tain climbs a ladder and rescues
Miss Poodle and an ape detective
puts the william in a cell. Other
notables are the KOnyot family of
riders, the La Faille family Of
worlds strongest men. Winston
equestrian seals, the Dollar fam
lily of acrobats, and Victoria Cod
Ona, the greatest high-wire artist
in the world.
In the menagerie are to be
found 1900 rare wild animals.
Among them is Bumbeeno, the
only giraffe ever born or exhibit
ed in America. 1t is but three
feet high and worth its weight in
gold. There are forty elephants,
700 horses and 1880 employees.
The show travels on a train over
mile in length. The forenoon
parade is the most gorgeous af-
ever offered by a circus. 1t

THE MONEY VALUE OF PUBLIC
OPINION.

Most business men count the good
viii of the public as one of their chief
assets They deliberately capitalize it
and use It to increase their profits. A
merchant, a banker, a manufacturer,
or a professional man so regulates his
business operations that the pr.blie
viii think well of him and of his
goods, and viii show appreciation by
turning to him when in search of what
he has TO sell. Whenever any business
changes hands a liberal allowance is
always made for good WILL" which
business men universally recognize as
something having specific money value
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company is now engaged in a
business maneuver in which this prin
c.ple IS ignored 10 Is deliberately
putting into use = type Of street car
which has aroused the resentment of
the Washington public.
If the patrons of a bank objected
- a particular style OF checkboOk Is
sued by the bank, the officers of the
institution would instantly change
styles, because they are anxious to
keep the public's good will
II the patrons OF a tailor objected
to particular pattern of goods the
tailor would Immediately lay in a
new stock, because he Is anxious to
keep the public's good viii.
If the patrons OF a dairy objected
to a particular kind of milk bottle,
the dairymsn would get new bottles
at once in order to keep the Public's
good viii
Why does a street railway company
operate on the other theory-that of
forcing its patrons to use kind Of
street car they don't like?
The explanation Is simple The
street railway company has no com
petition. IF one bank, one tailor, or
ore daiTyman doesn't please Us We
turn TO others, who viii. We have
no such relief from an objectionable
street railway company. If we live
on its lines we must use It's cars,
whether We like them OF not. The
Washington Railway and Electric
Company doesn't have TO consider the
wishes Of the public. Therefore, it
doesn't consider them 1t considers the
interests OF its stockholders The Peo-
pie viii complain, but they viii also
ride. and contribute their nickels. Why
worry about what they want2
It's a comfortable philosophy-for
