ed by Frederick Thompson Of Luna
Park fame.
All the life of Polly young circus
rider, has been spent under the round
top and in the circus car. She knows
no world not covered by canvas, moi
did her mother. When the play be-
gins the circus tents are pitched on
the commons adjoining the church and
parsonage in small town. This caus.
es scandal in the burg and the pillars
of the church gather at the parsonage
to protest to the minister against the
sacrilege. Polly is injured by fall
from her horse and during the circus
is carried into the minister's house.
A motley crew of clowns, riders, ac-
robats and canvasmen flock to the par
sonage, where they are well received
by the young minister, much to the
disgust of the deacons of the church.
The minister agrees to care for the
girl until she is well enough to return

He soon learns that the little circus
rider is ignorant. He begins instruct.
ing her. He weeds out her wonderful
growth of circus slang and teaches her
to read and write and makes her so
well contented with her new home
that when she RECEIVERS she does not
return to her former sawdust world
Eleven months pass by and the min
lister and Polly come to love each
other. But the tongue of scandal is
wagging in the village and the dea-
cons call upon the parson and demand
that he send the girl away. He re.
fuses, but Polly decides to go away
She does and rejoins the circus. A
month later the circus again comes
to town and when Polly attempts to
mount her horse she swoons and is
caught in the sheltering arms of the
minister. The final curtain falls as
the circus winds it's way out of the
village, leaving Polly and the minister
gazing at the departing caravan. The
circus scenes are true to life and a
novelty such as Mr.. Thompson is not
ed for.

Berlin, July 1s.-Is the youth of
Germany being so thoroughly per-
meated with socialism by the pro-
paganda carried on among the youths
and young men of the country as to
endanger the maintenance of military
discipline. and to corrupt the kaiser's
army? The question, suggested by a
recent confidential report forwarded
by the minister of war to the i'm
perial government declaring that he
could not maintain the efficiency of
the army unless energetic steps were
taken to stop the socialism propagan-
da among the young men of Germany
before they become soldiers, is the
subject of an animated discussion in
the political periodical press of this
country.
In Germany, with its existing law

comes a soldier, SO that practically
the entire male population of the
country is under the direct command
OF the kaiser as supreme war lord

CANNON CARRIES
WAR INTO AFRICA
Is Discussing the Tariff Law
on the Platforms of
Kansas

Emporia. Kas., July 19.-Speakel
Cannon just before beginning /,
speech here at o'clock yesterday af
ternoon again suffered much discom.
fort from the heat. While Represen.
tative Miller was making an introduc.
tory speech, Mr.. Cannon rubbed his
head and neck with ice. However, he
showed no signs Of collapsing when
his time for speaking arrived. and he
began his speech on schedule.
After beginning his speech. Speaker
Cannon proceeded with his accustom.
ed vigor. He said in part:
From the time the "Dingley bill
was passed until the Republican plat.
form in 1908 declared for revision Of
the tariff stood squarely against re.
vision. "Why?" Because l knew q
tariff could not be revised without
somebody lying about it, and without
disturbing business. But, always
bow as long as l am Republican, to
the superior wisdom of the majority
of the party. For that reason l sup
ported revision after the Republican
platform declared for it.
"The Payne bill has been in opera
ton since August 5. Two hundred
thousand freight cars then idle are
now busy. Under that law We SO ar
ranged that more goods are admit.
ted free than under any other law in
our history. The average per cent or
all importations for the last fiscal
year was 20.S per cent. The Wilson
law duty averaged % per cent. We
cut the iron schedule in two. The
chemical schedule was cut 40 pei
cent.
Let's see who stands for the inter
ests. The duties on lumber, leather
boots and shoes, iron and steel are
all lower under the Payne law than
under the Dingley law. Every man
who voted against the Payne bill
thereby voted to retain the higher du-
ties of the Dingley law"
Speaker Cannon closed his speech
by replying to Senator Bristow's re.
cent charges concerning the tariff on
rubber.
During this portion of his speech
Mr.. Cannon read from a typewriter
manuscript, which, in part, follows:
Senator Bristow, in his speech al
Winfield charged that Senator Aldrich
and others brought about an increase
Of the duty on manufactured rubber
and thereupon organized q rubber
trust.
Senator Bristow said that under
the operation of the Payne tariff law
there was a decrease in the amount OF
manufactured rubber imported and
therefore loss in revenue.
Either knowingly or ignorantly
Senator Bristow did not state the
facts. The truth is, as shown by the
official figures Of the bureau of sta
tistics for the nine months ending
March 30. 1910, under the Payne law,
there was an increase in the importa-
ton of rubber manufactures amount
ing to $356,332.
"For the same period the revenue
derived from imports Of manufactured
rubber increased $126,3s4.

Moorhead Scared.

Moorhead, Minn.. July 19.-For the
past three days the citizens of Moor
head, whether directly connected with
the liquor interests or not have been
discussing the recent order issued by
if carried out will close every saloon
adjoining counties.
Although outwardly nothing has
been going on. yet the liquor interests
have not been idle. Yesterday they
held a meeting. at which men both
prominently connected with the liquor
interests and those not connected d.
rectly were present. The situation
was discussed at length and it was
the conclusion of the men present
that the situation Is a serious one in
deed for Moorhead.
After some deMberation 1t was de-
cided to select delegation of men,
prominent in the business world, and
not directly interested in the saloons,
to go to Washington and ascertain
just what the bureau on Indian affairs
intends to do. The members of the
delegation have as yet not been de-
cided upon, but will be named later.
These men will appear before the bu-
reau and put the situation up to them
and point out the reasons why
Moorhead should not have all of her
saloons removed, and why the city is
not i'll touch with the Indian country
and why the ruling of the department
should not be applied to Moorhead.
There are at present forty-two sa-
looms in the city, and none has been
convicted or even accused of ever SELL
ing to the Indians. In fact the sa-
loon men are on their guard and have
been particularly careful not to sell
to the Indians.

FIGHTING TO

IN M00RHEAD
Question Is Whether or Not
Beer is a Spirituous
Liquor
m00RHEAD IS FIGHTING TO
PREVENT CLOSING OF SALOONS
Delegation of Business Men Not En-.
gagged in Liquor Business Will Go
to Washington to Investigate the
Grounds of the Indian Bureau.

Washington, July 19.-Is beer spir-
ituous liquor? Upon the determine
tion of that question will depend
whether or not the beverage can be
introduced into Moorhead, Mimi,
which is situated on the ceded Indian
lands, and it is said to be a shipping
point of the brewers for their trade
in North Dakota, "dry" state.
The Minnesota State Brewers as
sociation has telegraphed protest to
the bureau of Indian affairs against
the recent action in extending pro-
hibition to Moorhead, insofar as the
order applies to the importation of
beer. The brewers claim that beer is
not spirituous liquor and conse-
quently does not come within the pro-
hibition contained in the treaties un-
der which the lands were ceded.
Supervisor Holcombe Of the Indian
bureau has Informed the complainants
that he cannot suspend the instruc-
tions as they desired and that they
will have until September Is to re-
move such beer as may then be in
Moorhead. It now devolves upon the
brewers to convince the Indian bureau
that beer is not spirituous liquor.
A few days ago the bureau of In
dian affairs promulgated instructions
to its field agents considerably ex-
tending the prohibition territory adj
jacent to the White Earth and Leech
Lake reservations in Minnesota, in
accordance with the treaty regula-
tions and for the protection of the
Indians from intoxication.
