in wooden cars when they are
forbidden by departmental gag
rules to critieise their condition,
or disclose it to the public, or
even to petition congress for re-
lief? This is a query
that promises to perplex
the railway mail clerks
as long as Postmaster General
Hitchcock remains at the head
of the service. There are 1000
wooden mail ears in use. They
are run between heavy all-steel
cars, or between a steel car in
the rear and the engine and
tender In front. In the event OF
a collision or derailment the
wooden mail car is invariably
crushed like an egg shell. Yet
Mr.. Hitchcock, who is outdo-
ing the Gather of all the Rus
slams" in his imposition of a
depotism and whom his word is
law, says the railroad mail boys
must make no protest. If they
do not like their condition, they
know what to dol That is his
affirmation.

sells-Floto Circus.

In a day and age when the cost
Of living and the expense Of
amusing oneself has reached
proportions which almost seem
incredible, it is pleasing to note
the advent Of an attraction which
has instead of pressing the limit
revised its scale of charges down
ward.
The Sells-FlotO circus, which
by the way, is a Western organi-
cation, owned and controlled by
the newspaper men who are prop
rietors of the Denver Post and
Kansas City Post, will arrive here
on Saturday, September 16, and

as the circus trust, for years

But the owners gamely with

stand pre-eminent as giving more
for the money than any show,
big or little, on the face Of the
globe.
The Sells-Floto circus comes
here, fresh from a series of I'M
qualified successes, both in the
large cities of the coast and Mid
die West, as in those of the more
Northerly states and over the
Canadian border. They are
certain to be welcomed here
and literally patronized. The
management stands for all that
is fair and square in their
method of dealing with the pub
lie. 1t might be added that
this year are offering many
features which are unique and
have heretofore been strangers to

They said it couldn't be done.
But on the day of adjournment
Chairman Fitzgerald of the
Committee on Appropriations,
announced that instead of the
promised $4,000 having been
saved, the amount of $228,000.

TAFT'S RECORD "INDEFEN-
SIBLE.
Nearly three fourths of Mr..
Taft's term Of office has passed
into history. He has had suf-
ficient time to have made
progress on lines along which he
promised to proceed when he was
a candidate for the high office he
holds, He made his campaign
on a tariff revision downward is
sue, and today the country is in
the grip of a higher tar
iff tax than ever before
in its history, in spite of the
fact that the president has had
two separate and distinct oppor-
tunities ito keep his word. In
his three years of office Presi-
dent Taft can be credited with
having kept Ballinger in office
until the country was nauseated
to have almost succeeded in his
attempt to give Alaska away to
the Guggenheims, and with hav-
ing quietly %co-operated with the
food dopers in their campaign to
drive DR.. Harvey W. Wiley out
Of public life. To this "inde-
fansible" record should be added
the presidents action in framing
rejected peace treaties with two
nations with whom we are not
in the slightest danger Of ever
going to war.

Washington Letter.
By Tavenner.

Has Taft committed suicides
Has he, in renewing his warfare
on the insurgents, committed a
fatal political blunder, both for
himself and the Republican
party generally
These queries have aroused
discussions that are raging like a
blizzard of words in political cir
cles all over the United States.
Still another question that is
being asked and re-asked, es-
pecially by republicans, is; If
the President does succeed IN
driving the progressiyes out OF
the republican party, where will
he drive them to?
And the conclusion most gen
erally reached is that it is writ
ten on the cards that the next
President is to be a democrat.
1t is practically agreed that if a
standpatter is nominated, the
progressives win smash him.
What makes the situation still
more hopeless for the Republi-
cans is that the 1912 campaign
issue is to be the tariff, the one
subject on which the two fac
tions can not get together.
