RINGLING PARADE ALL NEW

What is claimed to be the long
est and most costly parade ever
seen with a circus will pass
through the streets of this city on
Friday, August rs. Ringing
Brothers will present 1t. It is
their latest effort and it will be
a big surprise.
Among its strange features is
a team of camels hitched to an
immense tableau wagon. This
team is handled by one driver.
There are also teams of elephants,
llamas, deer and zebras. There
are six of these latter animals
hitched to an Oriental throne car
in which rides an Indian potentate
with his retinue. Zebras are sup
posed to be unbreakable.
Nearly 1900 men, women and
children appear in the parade.
They have been gathered from the
nations of Europe and Asia and
from the remotest savage lands.
One portion of the spectacle
tells wonderful story to the chill
dren. All the characters from
fairy tales and the lore of infancy
are portrayed by professional pan
tomimists. A great floating ball
of spun glass in which rides the
queen of fairies, leads this Sec
ton.

TOGO'S DIGESTION HAS
FAILED HIM.

When some one asked Senator Ed
munds how it was that in the course
of the social rounds incident to public
life he could drink so many different
kinds of wine,' he promptly replied
that it was "the darned Indifferent
kinds" which made life a burden.
Whether it is the different or indif-
ferent kinds of fare which have got in
their deadly work, the nations dis
tinguished guest, Admiral Togo, is
having his troubles as he eats his way
around the world. Good digestion no
longer waits on appetite, and he has
been compelled to cancel all his Bay
State engagements. As the guest of
princes and presidents who have put
the big pot in the little one to do him
honor he has been up against the
national dishes of many countries. On
the banks of the Potomac he reached
at least the Pisgah overlooking that
Promised Land where hot bread is an
article of religion, where chicken is
distinguished from poultry, and the
rice is cooked so that every grain
stands to itself.
And yet it is a matter of regret that
his digestion fails him just as he
reaches the very heart of the Great
American Pie Belt. 1t is a delicacy,
crust and filling, Which would smooth
the wrinkled front of war itself and
make the return of hunger as well
come as the flowers in May. There
are chowders elsewhere, coppery in
taste and boosted in local tradition,
but it is practically conceded that
only in the bays and inlets of that
stern and rockbound coast is the sue
culent sea food served up with the
reverence it deserves.
The Pilgrim Mothers left as an i'm
perishable heritage the only recipe for
preparing baked beans and brown
bread which compensate now, as they
did then, for the rigors of an inhos-
pitable climate. The bean of Boston
has the ecclesiastical authority Of
Cardinal Newman for the fact that it
is not as "nasty'' as it looks. The
Sacred Cod has a niche of it's own, and
the New England boiled dinner has a
charm of which it is not altogether
robbed even when it is served in the
lobster palaces along Broadway.

WHY SOCIALISM is

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Mr. Samuel Ferguson in the Mail

Socialist party, and a number of your
correspondents have replied. II you

that at present, of course, the two lead

FORBIDDING A RAILROAD TO
BE BUILT.

We are wont to think of radicalism
as indigenous to Kansas and New Zea-
land, and of conservatism as a natural
product of New York and New Eng
land. Yet the other day the most
radical proposition in railroad control
came forth from New York, when the
public service commission forbade the
construction of a new railroad from
Buffalo to Troy.
For years the effort has been afoot
to secure authorization for construc-
ton of this line. 1t came, no doubt
as a shock to many people to learn
that the New York commission actu-
ally had the power to decide whether
or not a charter should be given for
the construction of railroad line. Yet
it has.
Whose business is it if, as in this case,
a group of people propose to spend $780,
100000 on a railroad that other folks
think will not pay? Why should the
State interfere to prevent a lot of
good money being put into circulation
Who is going to undertake a repeal
of the adage that "the fool and his
money are soon parted!"
1t is as well to think over the
social and economic aspects before
agreeing that if anybody wants to
waste SlOUoSO,OOO he should be per-
mitted to do g. The community as a
whole is concerned when it is proposed
to waste that much money. 1t has a
right to concern itself, albeit that
right would not have been admitted a
few years ago. The community pro-
duces the money; the community, after
all, will lose it if it is wasted. There
fore the community has right to
speak a word in the premises.
The public service commission found
that the proposed road was to parallel
the New York Central, and to be on
an average twenty miles north of that
line. First, was there need for it III
there was, it ought to be built; but
"need" involves the consideration OF

APPEAL FOR
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
PAY IS D|SALLOWED
Government Printers Can
not Accumulate Allow
ance Of Time.

Leave of absence, to be taken or to
be paid for II not taken, cannot be al
lowed to accumulate from year TO year
by employees of the Government Print
ing Office, the Comptroller of the Treas
ury holds In a decision made public to-
day. The opinion was given in the
matter of an appeal by Frank E. Ell
der from decision by the auditor for
the State and other departments.
Mr.. Elder claimed thirty DAYS leave
not AIKEN. at $500 year, or sos. 80, ac-
crued during the fiscal year 1903. The
Public Printer contended that Elder
received thirty days leave at 5000 on
July l 1910, and he declared that the
right of Elder to claim the leave for
1903 expired on July l, 1910.
The Comptroller of the Treasury. af
firming both the opinion of the PubIfc
Printer and the decision of the auditor.
declared that to allow Mr.. Elders
claim would be to allow him payment
for two leaves Of absence from the
same appropriation. In reviewing the
case he quoted the civil sundry act of
June 20. 1910. providing that thereafter
employees would be allowed leave at
the rate of pay received by them at
the time such leave was granted. paw
able from the specific appropriation
from their salaries.
An act of June 80, 1886, provided that
Government Printing Office employees
should have fifteen days leave OF alb
sence in each fiscal year. This was in
creased in 1888 to thirty days, and the
act providing that leaves must not ac-
cumulate was passed in 1895. The de-
ficiency act for the fiscal year, 1909, pro-
vided $4,000 for the Public Printer to
comply with the acts granting leaves
of absence. The Sundry civil act of
1910. provided $4,000 for the same pur-
pose.
The Public Printer, in his statement
of the case, said that Mr.. Elder had
been his adviser in making provision
against the accumulation of leaves, and
should have known that his own par
ticuIar claim was not allowable.
