Snoku kchiII.

One Of the smokiest places on earth
Is undoubtedly Achill, off the coast OF
Mayo, Ireland. a smoky atmosphere
is not an unknown thing in any Irish
cabin, but in Achill the greater the
smoke the higher the satisfaction OF
the natives, for there smoke means
potatoes, and potatoes mean food. 1t
is to one Of the methods of procuring
SCOT that the islander owes the smoky
condition of his cabin. SCOT he must
have or the potatoes will not grow.
In the TILED fields he erects little huts,
called .scrawhogues," formed by
"scraws," or sods, of heather from the
mountains. Within these huts he
keeps fire Of peat burning for six
weeks or two months, at the end OF
which period the scraws are, from
their continual impregnation with
smoke, transformed into SCOT. Turf
or peat is abundant on the island, and
the large fires cost nothing.-Harper's
Weekly.

LOCAL BREVITlES.

The construction OF three wireless
towers to be erected on the govern

Navy Department will mark new err

majority OF wireless towers scattered
throughout the Unted States in the
government service, the ones to b"
built at the Arlington reservation will
far surpass any before attempted in
point OF efficiency, technical beauty,

Diana Of Ephesus.

Ephesus was one of the twelve Ionic
cities OF Asia Minor and was situated
in LYDIA. near the mouth of the river
CayStrUS. According TO Strabo, IL was
founded by AndrOcluS. son of CodruS.
1t ultimately came into possession oil
the Romans, and in the time OF Au'
gllSlus it was the greatest place OF
trade of all the cities of Asia west OF
the Taurus st. Paul resided there
three years. but the destruction of its
great temple by the Goths in 2GO \. d.
gave it blow from which 1t never
recovered. This was the famous TEN,
ple Of Diana. Near the western eX.
tremity of the town are still TO be seen
some massive structures, which have
since 1868 been carefully excavated,
1t is now certain that these stand on
the famous temple site.

OUR THREE POLITICAL
TIES.

The recent special session of con-
gress has clearly developed the posi-
lions occupied by the three roliti-
cal parties Of this country.
For the past half dozen years
the differences between the s,andpat
and progressive republicans have
been more pronounced and sharply
defined i than the differences be-
tween the democrats and the stand
pat republicans.
All that the special session has
made clear, was fairy outlined st
the last regular session of con- ress.
During that session the democrats
and progressive republicans worked
and voted together, but were not
numerically sufficient to prevent tn
passage Of the Payne-Aldrich riff
law, and other vicious legislation
The fact, however, that these two
parties worked together in congress
a. the last regular session was sig
nificant And more significant wis
the fact that the people, at tht
elections last fall, approved Of thi;
congressional alliance and rsturne,
each party with increased member
ship.Bh most significant of all is tn
!. fact that, at the special session, tn
| democrats and progressive rerubl
cans found that there were few di
!; ferences between hem on question
!, uppermost in the politics of III
present time. They voted to .et..e
!, as a rule, and presidential vetoe
alone kept progressive legis,atic
from being enacted.
The reactionaries deserve defea
and they can tie easily defeated
4 the rank and file Of the democrat
and progressive republican parti,
work together, as their represent
: tives worked during the last tv
: sessions Of congress.

G As oRl.As
THE GoLLMAR BROTHERS CIR.
Gus PARADE,

Those who are disposed to be skep
tical regarding the size and merit
of the Gollmar Brothers Circus will
have all doubts dispelled by seeing
the tremendous spectacular street dis
play given by that concern on the
principal streets of this city Septem
Der 2.
The Pageant of the Gollmal
Brothers is complete surprise. i
is lengthy professional array, such
as can only e produced by a forum
ate combination of unlimited wealth
undaunted courage, original ideas,
and determination to eclipse all simil-
ar displays. That the Gollmars
have succeeded in achieving their pur
pose is generally conceded. Their par
ade is like their circus. ''The' high
est class in the world"
Instead Of the wooden dens, the
Gollmar Brothers adopted the mon.
ster steel cages and dcns, each one
being almost as large and as strong
as the average railroad car.
The Go,lmars were among the first
showmen to make a feature Of fine
horses. They were first to make a
feature of the ever attractive Shet-
land ponies, and this season have in
parade and horse fair" more OF
these ch.ldren's pets than are to be
found with al other circuses.
Managed under lofty ideals, it is
not strange that the length, brilli-
ancy, attractiveness, and instructive
ness of the matchless Gollmar
Brothers parade is a revelation to
all who have never seen it, while
the constant progressiveness of thi
amusement institution also astounds
those who have witnessed it annual
ly.

DEMOCRATS MADE GOOD
EXTRA SESSION..

Not in. generation has any party
in this country demons trated it's abb
ity to enact careful, constructive
LEGISLATION more convincingly than
have the democrats during the recent
extra session Of congress.
They first adopted a program, and
then faithfully and unitedly carried
it out to the letter. In other words,
they kept the promises they made
/. the people during the campaign last
year. I;
Here are some OF the sheaves
which they succeeded in bringing in
despite all opposition:
i. Canadian reciprocity, whi:l
was opposed by a majority Of the
republicans in both houses OF con
gress.
2. "A campaign publicly D.!l
which puts an end to the corrupt us
Of money by both candidates for OF
flee and political committees: TIL
Mark Hanna campaign sixteen year
ago demons trated the necessity TO
such law, but it has taken al
these years to place the crimlna
brand upon that kind Of practices,
8. The admission of Arizona an
New Mexico to statehood.
A. The restoring to the house g
representatives Of control over j,
own business. Under the rules adop
ed by the democrats the speaker
no longer car, or dictator II
is simply presiding officer, and tn
committees are made up now by
committee on committees.
A number of bills amendatory {
the tariff which the house passed
and which got through the senat
by the cooperation Of the democrat
and insurgent republicans We're W
toed by President Taft. The reat
tionary or. standpat republican SCI
ators gave the President to under
4 stand that he was at the parting Q
the ways. If he sided with the in
surgents and the democrats the
I had no further use for him, and h
die their bidding.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1911-08-30

at the beginning Of the special ses-
sion Just closed, almost wholly re-
sponsive to the wishes of the peo-
pie. Speaker Clark and his aids in
the House repeatedly expressed a
desire to meet the President more
than half way in bringing about good
legislation, especially, tariff revis-
ion downward. The cannon machine
was overthrow in the House. The
Aldrich hierarchy was only memory
in the senate. Everything was sus-
picious for a session Of great accom-
plishment.
Not only was congress willing, but
i. soon proved itself capable. The
Democrats in the Hous labored for
months over tariff revision bills, not
OILY with i view of giving the coun-
try relief, but also with the con-
stan. idea that those revision bills
should be drawn that they would
.,lare in every waay with President
Taft's prediction promises. Every
care possible was taken to frame re-
vision bills in a way that would
meet with the approval Of the presi--
dent.
And the final result of it all was
that President Taft repudiated the
overtures of as friendly congress
as any President ever had to work
with, and in addition he impllgned tn
motives of that congress.
Other presidents, by virtually
swinging a club over the head Of {
i reactionary congress, managed t.
put through progressive laws. Pres
ident Taft, working with a congress:
that was friendly to him, and anxi

President Taft has, not deceived
any one by basing his vetoes upon
his own ignorance. He pretends
that he must hear from his lame
duck commission before he can tel
whether the tariff bills recently pass
ed by congress are good or bad leg-
islation. Congress and not COM
mission has the power to legislate. A
commission has no constitutional
right to influence legislation one way

Cd both houses Of congress by large

signed by the President unless he
had better reasons to iaterposc tina
his own personal ignorance.
