"when we were small boys, Of course
there was a chance to carry water to
the elephants" say the fathers of the
present generation Of small boys with
an agreeable thrill OF remembrance
and an ardor- danpening assurance to
their progeny that these chances passed
away with the wagon show with its
one ring and rneager equipment.
Twenty odd years ago the Ringing
brothers, in common with the circuses
of the day, made their journeys from
town to town by wagon. Twelve or
fifteen miles was the limit of nights
travel and there was plenty of work
for everyone, with more than enough
to spare for the youthful volunteers.

in those marvellous days Of long ago
when you were a lad. In every city
and town, where Ringing Bros show,
there are over $50 youngsters who
have chance to earn the coveted free
ticket in exchange for a couple of
hours light work.
There are thousands Of seats to be
placed and chairs arranged, there is
more than half mile Of canvas side
wall that must be carried around the
big tents. ALI this light work the
boys do under the direction Of an en-
ploye. There is many a little 6ellow
whose family exchequer does not hold
the necessary funds to permit him to

he learns here the Joy and .tndepend-
ence that comes from earning his own
way.

Again Threatened by Fire.
The barns at the Chernyk scrap iron
yards, 80 South First avenue, were
again threatened by fire at o'clock
Saturday evening, when fire started
under the floor of the barn, In pile OF
rags The department was called and
the blaze soon under control, the
chemical apparatus only being used.
The fire probably originated from
sparks from a passing locomotive and
after eating its way thru the floor of
the barn, large pile of old rags was
ignited and for a time the barn was
threatened with destruction. The dam
age was slight.

forms wanted by the people and needed
by the people, and that, having that
consciousness, he has the courage 10
act accordingly. They believe that,
however mistaken he may be at times,
down at bottom Mr.. Roosevelt is not
reactionary, that he has no sympathy
with the forces Of reaction, that he is
not going to be found in any entangling
alliance with the aen who represent
such forces, and that his sympathies
are progressive and are for the preser-
walton Of the full measure of human
rights.
1t is because they believe these
things that the American people are
giving Mr.. Roosevelt a magnificent
welcome on his return. It is in a large
sense not Theodore Roosevelt who is
being welcomed, but the impersonation
Of the things the American public be-
heves in. There are those who per
ceive in the adulation of Roosevelt a
sign that the American people Is turn
ing in the direction OF royalty, getting
ready for the rule OF a monarch We
take no stock in this notion. Mr..
Roosevelt viii be welcomed for what
he IS supposed to represent. If he
should by his course convince the
American people ne had deserted their
cause, that he had become reaetionary,
that he had become the champion Of
special interests rather than of popular
rights and of square dealing, he would
sink as far in the public esteem as he
has risen.
Because he understands the Ameri-
can nation as few men understand it.,
we have no question that none knows
this better than Theodore Roosevelt.
and that he win take care 10 govern
himself accordingly.

THE RETURN OF COLONEL
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Theodore 3 Roosevelt Is now drawing
near New York harbor, and early
Saturday morning, after more than a
years absence, viii set foot on his
home shores. a program has been pre-
pared for the reception of Mr. Roosc-
welt such as no living American has
been honored with. Indeed. it Is
doubtful if such unstinted honors have
ever been accorded any other American
by the American people anywhere as
will be accorded to Mr.. Roosevelt to-
morrow. The case of General Grant.
alone, is the possible exception.
Mr.. Roosevelt viii be welcomed
home by Americans of every sort. The
welcome accorded him in the actual
carrying out OF the ceremonies in New
York city will be but a small part OF
that greater welcome which VIII be ex-
tended to him in spirit by millions of
people who are unable to participate
in the event in person.
1t is interesting to reflect lust what
is the significance of the honor ac-
corded the former President. One does
not have to seek far to understand it.
1t is not that Roosevelt has been
President, nor that he has been do
ing an unusual stunt as a huntsman in
Africa, nor that he has been hob
nobbing with European royalty.
Down at bottom it is because the
great masses Of the American people be
lieve that Roosevelt, regardless of any
faults, foibles, and human weaknesses
Is one of themselves, thinking as they
think, hating the shams and injustiees
they hate, holding the ideals they hold
wanting to suppress the evils they
want to suppress. They believe he
has an acute consciousness of the re-

TINE RIPE FOR INTERVIEW.
TIONIN NICARAGUA.

Friendly Intervention in the case OF
Nicaragua seems more opportune now
than ever before. The Estrada forces
are strong in the eastern part of the
country, with Blueields as headquar-
tiers, while the Madriz, or government,
troops have practical control of the
rest of the country. Cape Gracias,
the last port captured by Madriz, is
on the Honduran line, and the danger
that the fighting VIII spread beyond
Nicarag1lan territory is by no means
remote. Honduran sympathizers, in
fact, are already reported as having
joined Madriz. Estrada's plan to
establish what would be called New
Nicaragua, with Bluchelds as the
capital, is hardly consistent with his
previous plan to fight to the last ditch
for the sake Of all Nicaragua.

Opposes the Fund.

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
Heretofore statements issued regarding
the conributory plan Of retirement men
toned the department clerk only and
used the $500 clerk as an Illustration.
No mention has been made OF the under
paid clerk OF the Postorace who can
lil afford deduction from his salary In
the face of tne increased cost II living.
Clerks in lne l'ostoffce after apDoint-
ment as 'reEUIars'' receive S60g in the
first year. 500 the second, and an in
crease OF 500 each year until H.IO0 IS
reached in first class Offices and S1.00C
I'm second class Offices.
Can any man sand a reduction o.
these salaries in ycdr Judgment, parricu-
iarly while rising from the 500 grade 10
the Sl.l0o grade. a matter Of five years.
X rs true a clerk may receive $500. the
maximum for an ordinary clerk hut not
without special provision by Congress.
and this year it is only expected TO pro
mote SO per cent Of the S1,l01 grade.
The chances OF promotion above the
100 grade are about one in fourteen.
From observe ton Of the work OF the
various relief associations in the local
Office it is apparent that II IS a very
serious matter for a clerk TO be sick
for a time longer than his annual leave
citizen days, with no extensions EXCEPT
intervening Sundays or holidays and no
sick leave-about seventeen days at
mos). and 7 cannot see how a clerk
can possibly stand a reduction Of salary
under such circumstances or II his wife

The President in his annual message
recommended an increase Of salaries on
account Of increased cost o. living.
Congress replies by proposed legislation
which viii reduce them. while forcing
each clerk 70 provide for his own re-
trement II is hardly TO be expected
that this plan VIII arouse the enthusi-
astlc support Of, say, a 500 clerk with
a family.
If It has been impossible for clerks
who have held positions for forty years
20 provide for themselves in their old
age. when Curing the greater portion Of
their servic- sheir salaries have had
greater purchasing power. is it fair 10
assume that the low salaried clerks OF
today viii be more prosperous on less
salary when living costs more2
Moreover, Pcstofhce clerks have the
right to expect that their children shall
receive an ordinary schooling, but they
are frequently compelled TO take their
children out Of school IN the lower
grades in order that they may contribute
to the family support.
Does It SEN likely that these children

high school o. manual training school If
their fathers salaries are reduced2
Just now, whether for, or against.

that the Postoffice clerks are not in
favor Of reducing salaries already much
