THE EVENING PROGRAM
The band concert at 1:30 was enjoyed
by large crowd who gathered in the
park From $40 to 1000 the proprietor
of the Gem Theatre gave an exhibit OF
moving pictures that was very pleasing
to the large audience. Then came the
fireworks on the ball ground which Oc
cupied another hour From about
o'clock until midnight the bOwery dance
had a continued performance which
seemed to be conducted in quiet anC
deCOrOuS manner.
SOME FOURTH OF JULY NOTES
The Audubon Cornet Band made /
fine appearance in their nine new duel
uniforms which were worn for the frs
time on Monday. There was genera
remark that the boys have been dOins
good and progressing well for the oppor
tunities and the time in which the!
have had to make preparation.
The Fourth this year was compare
| lively quiet OF course many fire crack
ers were used but they were small ant
harmless. The big ones and the eXplo
sive canes that heretofore made SO muCl
noise were not in evidence. Their alb
sence added much to the pleasure of tn
day.

The best looking bachelor and the
handSOmest old maid didn't show up to
get the prizes that were offered. There
seemed to be plenty of old 'baChes'
present but we didn tsee any old maids.
Audubon had large crowd on Mon
day, and the people were in the best of
spirits. The best of order prevailed
everywhere. There was nothing to dis
turb the peace and quiet and progress
of the day.
The most popular place in the park
Monday was the stand for free lemonade
where thousands of glasses were poured
out for the thirsty. 1t was surely a
great relief to the mothers that the
children were provided with something
to drink

Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Lee who received
the chair on the Fourth on account of
being the oldest married couple are the
parents of Mrs. John Brockway of Au-
dubOn. Mr.. Lee is 81 and Mrs. Lee so
years of age and they have been married
63 years. The chair was given because
of age and not the length of time they
had been married.
1t seems to be generally concluded
that the celebration this year was the
most pleasant and most satisfactory OF
any for many years. Some credit must
be given to the weather man for the
beautiful day that he furnished. Then

ally, although proportonately their membership IS
certain to come down. On the basis of the present
unit New York City would be entitled to seven addl-
tional members, Chicago to two additional with
large fraction left over and Philadelphia would get
one additional On such basis of increase, however,
the House would become unwieldly and be far more
difficult to manage than it is The unit must be
advanced long way above the present line. More
over most of the increased representation will come
to the section which is ordinarily Republican. So Tar
is indicated at present the only Southern and nor
maly Democratic states which have made large gains
in population the past decade Oklahoma and Texas
and the increase in New York city alone is probably
greater than that of the entire state of Texas New
York. Illinois and Texas each increased its representa-
ton in the House by three members as result of the
reapportionment under the census of 1900. Under
any new allotment which is likely to be made this
winter New York will prob ably gain more than three
members -Lese's Weekly

Which party will be the greater gamer by the re-
apportionment of representation among the states,
which will be made this winter based on the count of
inhabitants of 1910? This question is beginning to be
asked by politicians of both parties with good deal
of earnestness These successive allotments determ
inc not only the weight of each state IN the popular
branch of Congress- but it's strength in the electoral
college Ina Constitution of 1887 declared that there
should be one representative in the House from each
state for every 900 of its inhabitants, and made
provisional allotment the best estimate of popula
ton then practicable and provided that there should
be new apportonment every ten years subsequently
based upon the actual count OF inhabitants Each
state however, is to have at least one representative
in the House. The first enumeration took place in $780,
and they have come in every decenna year since then
Here is the aggregate number of members of the
House on the allotment made after each ten-year
count of inhabitants and the number of persons
lected as the unit of representation:

POLITICAL POT-PIE

The fnsurgent element of the Republican party
having completely captured the organization there is
nothing left for the Standpaters do but become In
surgents and thereby recapture the party organiza
ton.
Judge Black says, Il carried the county of Sohom-
sh against three Republican opponents, getting l,5OO
more votes than all of them" If he does well in
the next election he will give Mr. Humphrey good
hard tusse and yet he will hardly be able to win out in
all of the counties.
Stanton Waburton, the Republican candidate for
congress from the second congressional district of
Washington has felt the heavy hand of the Post-ln-
tegencer and it begins to look rocky for "Warby,

Joe Smith is now Democratic candidate for the
same place he was beaten for in the Republican prl-
mares Joe explains his position by saying, In the
campaign for nomination declared | was an lnsurg-
ent and stopped right there, which meant | was
either Republican Insurgent or Democratic one"
That's awfully cute, but not very manly.
Since the P l. has begun to set up and take notice
of the legislative records of the candidates for congress
from the state of Washington it that it would
not go amss to look up the record made by La Toilette
when he was in the legislature. 1t might be the
means of eectng three members to congress from this
state but little thing like that does not count for
much.
Should Senator w. l.. Jones accept the appoint
ment as Judge of the federal court in Eastern Wash
ington he would gracefully step down and out of the

knocked down and out of the political whrl Senator
Jones ought to be able to far in mill stone as
the other fellow and he doubtless sees the impending
political storm that will confront him four years from
now.
Should Senator Jones conclude to accept the feder-
al judgeship and do before next January, Gov M.
E. Hay could call extra session of the legislature
to elect successor to Senator JONES' he could make
a temporary appointment and permit the next legis
ature two elect two senators instead of one. 1t the
consensus of opinion however, that the governor
would convene the present legislature in extra session
to elect Senator Jones' successor.

AS Democrats as we'll as Republicans are DESTROYS
of keeping the House from going above the 400 mark
in membership, the unit of representation may have
to be placed as high as 225000. On this basis the
states of slow growth would lose some Seats while
those which have made considerable gain in popua-
ton would get additional members The former class
of states would, of course oppose any apportonment
which would cut down their representation numeric

HOW THE SWISS CAPITAL GOT ITS
NAME

II HERE is 4 curious tradition to how the Swiss
capltn-Berne. the city Of bears-sot Its name.
Count Bertbold of zihringen, by whom the city
was built in the twelfth century. greatly puzzled
what it should he called. He called a council of
the nobility to help him out but not one of them
could suggest a fitting name
Count Berthold, like Nmrod mighty hunter
before the Lord and in this emergency he resolved
to go hunting for n name. He set out with men and
horses. dogs and weapons and before he had chased
long he encountered and slew bear.
"a bear my city shall be- he IS said TO have e1-
claimed It was accordingly called Bir, which is the
German word for bear In the of time this
name was extended by into Baren which is the
plural OF bjr. and then contracted to Berne,
Whether or not the legend is true the Swiss city
always borne bear upon its escutcheon. and not
only scuptured and pictured bears to be seen all
about Berne but for uncertain but very long timo
the city has maintained living bears TO remind its clt
zens that their patron Is this redoubtable animal.
The municipal bears OF Bernc always have been
we'll taken Of but in the eighteenth century, as
well as their keepers were particularly fortunate
for TINT century certain rich maiden lady with
out any save most distant relatives made provision
ln her Will for the sum of 600O0f annually to be
lended In the maintenance of the city's bears The
governors OF the city constituted the guardians
OF the bears and the keepers OF these animals
taken of in no mean fashion, their office
became very much sought after
1t IS n curious fact that in the name of the Berne
bears splendid balls and parties attended by the
bility and the wealthy merchants and their families,
actually became not infreGucnt feature OF life IN
the Swiss capital.
All this however, came to end with the advent
OF French Revolution, for then the bears like the
Swiss themselves felt the iron hand of the conqucror
when the army of the new republic under the com
mand OF General Bruno took possession OF Berne.
The benrs were then sent to the Jnrdin des PanteS
in Paris where. however. they were petted by the
Parislans To such eXen they had little
10 regret their transfer,
The people OF Berne to-day possess a number Of
descendants OF these bears. aud they regarded
with much affection in Il large enclosure number
OF the bears are kept and municipal law makes It
a niisdcmeanor to feed them anything save bread and
fruit OF the best quality.
