When John Langford, all around
circus man, peered through the bars
of his cell at the state penitentiary,
yesterday and saw the white tents of
the Sells-Floto circus pitched on the
asylum grounds, he little dreamed
that within a few short hours he
would be standing in front of the en-
trance Of the big tent selling tickets,
but that is just what happened, for
Governor West paroled him last
evening, and today his voice can be
heard at Vancouver, Washington,
above the noise and din of the crowd
and the show, proclaiming the vir-
tues OF the performance and the
price of admission.
Got in Trouble.
Langford is one of the best circus
ticket sellers and all around circus
business getters in the United States.
He has followed the big shows for
years and stands high in the profess
sion; and he comes from fine fam
lily in the east. Several years ago he
and another man got intoxicated in
Portland and after the spree the
companions purse and money were
missing. Circumstances pointed to
Langford as the thief, and upon cir
cumstances he was convicted and
sent to the penitentiary.
Governor Decides to Parole Him.
Yesterday he was visited at his cell
by the managers of the circus and
prominent performers. Last evening
when the circus men were discussing
his case Governor West, who was on
his way to the show happened to
overhear the conversation. He be-
came interested and they told him
the story of the life of Langford.
Warden Curtis happened along about
this time, and the governor after
learning from him that Langford's
record was good, and that his mini
mum sentence would be closed on
June 20, and he would be entitled to
parole, decided to parole him then
II the managers would give him a
job. The manager of the show
agreed to give him a job as ticket
seller as soon as he was paroled and
Governor West had Langford brought
down and turned over to him, there
was general celebration among the
circus men last hight after the show
was over

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

Washington, June 9.-James E.
Gayley, former superintendent of the
Carnegie Steel company, took the
stand today before the Stanley COM
mittee investigating the steel trust.
He asserted that ruinous cut-throat
competition obtained prior to the
time the United States steel corpor-
alton was formed The conditions
then existing, if they had continued,
he testified, would have ended in the
strongest company securing a mo-
nopoly.
He corroborated statements by
John w. Gates that Carnegie con-
templated entering the tube and wire
business. The valuation placed on
the Carnegie properties, he testified,
was $75,0O0,000 during the Frick-
Carnegie litigation. This, he said,
was nowhere near its valuation, based
on its earning capacity.
Percival Roberts, Jr., a director of
the steel corporation, testified that
the American structural iron pool,
gentleman's agreement controlling
prices, had been maintained for 10
years after the passage of the Sher-
man law. He said it was discontin-
ued when the steel corporation was
organized.

To Install Soda Fountains.

Toronto, Ont, June 9.-The Cana
dian Pacific railway are considering
installing soda mountains in their
transcontinental dining cars. The
fountains will be of special design,
taking up little room, but large
enough to permit of all the various
ice and soft drinks being served at
any hour of the day. The expert
ment will be tried on the Toronto

fountains will be introduced on
trains on shorter runs.

Church Aroused Over Divorce.

The coming marriage OF a New
York millionaire DIVORCE to an IS
year-old girl has stirred the Protes-
tant clergymen over the country into
vigorous protests against the evil of
divorce and the causes making un-
happy marriages likely. The Catholic
church has no need to assert itself
now, for its rigid discipline is well
known. 1t seems to have been, not
only ahead of some of the other de-
take advanced ground on the divorce
question, but ahead of its time as we'll.
Without stopping to dissect the Catho-
lie rule or to justify or reject it in
detail, good people all who have a
Jealous regard for the family altar as
the first unit of society and the sacred
ordinance of matrimony, may well be-
come aroused at this late day to the
demand for restriction of this growing
menace.
II may be considered trite to repeat
that in order to deal with the effects,
we shall have first to take up the
causes. In this connection the least
that officiating officers or ministers
can do is to exercise every precaution
of diligence in uniting two persons in
matrimonial bonds. One thing, certainly
when, for instance there are known or
highly probable reasons why marriage
should not be performed, they should
be recognized, and under no circum-
stances should officers of the court or
clergymen lend their aid to circum-
vent the law to marry a couple even
on the theory that If one does not
some other minister will be found

The veto Of the Joint statehood bill
by President Taft in uncompromising
opposition to the judicial recall fea-
ture Of the Arizona constitution may
be taken as a forerunner of vetoes of
the popgun tariff bills which the dem
ocrats and their insurgent allies are
putting up to the president. Reports
have been persistent for some time
that MIR. Taft would stand firm on his
long ago announced policies with re-
spect to tariff revision conforming to
expert recommendation-in fact for
scientific revision-rather than the
hlt-or-mlss method that had given us
the 'indefensible" schedules in the
past II the democrats had any idea
that the president would, when con-
fronted with the necessity of action,
hesitate to use his veto pen, they
doubtless by this time have their eyes
fully opened to their delusion.
When IL comes to overriding a
presidential veto by a two-thirds vote
in each house of congress. about
which the democrats talk so glibly,
that is not so easily or so lightly done
Rare indeed have been the instances,
barring during the exceptional few
years Of Andrew Johnson, that a veto
of an important measure has not been
its finality. Members of congress who
may record themselves for bill
later vetoed, will generally stop short
of voting to override a veto by a
president of their own political per-
suasion, who thus manifests his will
ingness to take upon himself full
responsibility for the consequences
to both country and party. This will
be true of many of the republicans
voting for these measures when they
realize that the democrats are
avowedly playing politics and seeking
only to embarrass the republican presi-
dent for the purpose Of manufacturing
political capital in the interest of sup
planting him with a democratic sue
cessor in the White House.

Action has finally been taken by the
War department on some of the additional
articles included in the new infantry equip
ment as recommended by the special board
originally in session at Rock Island arsenal
This week 1t was decided to adopt the
blanket Of the three-pound olive drab tyne
recommended by the board the olive drab
shirt with reinforced elbows so as to pro-
tect that part of the garment subjected to
wear while the man is firing from posi-
ton on the ground; the canvas bucket and
the canvas basin OF the pattern recon-
mended by the board and the bugle and
bugle sling, the instrument being bronzed
so as to make II dark in color. Approval
has also been given to the design of the
company field desk and the surplus kit bag
as recommended by the infantry board
with minor changes suggested by the cav
airy equipment board. These articles will
be issued as soon as the present supply il
exhausted, the military authorities ad-
herring to their policy OF economy in not
distributing newly adopted articles where
there Is on hand garments or equipment
which are replaced. The action of this
week serves to adopt all but three OF the
articles recommended by the infantry
equipment board, those articles which are
still under consideration being the short
overcoat suggested for the foot soldier
the sweater and the neokerchief. The DELAY
in the adoption of these articles is due 10
the desire Of the War department TO have
the cavalry equipment board make a COM
ment on these particular articles 1t ia de-
sired that, as far as possible, the eouip-
ment serve for use with the infantry and
cavalry. 1t has been decided also to adopt
the gymnasium shoe, which will be carried
in the surplus kit bag, instead Of the can
vas top and soft sole. but It was consid
cred that there would be a saving in space
and expense II the gymnasium shoe were
utilized for the purposes OF the article sug-
gested by the infantry board.

The More Light the Better.

The announcement that Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson would speak at
the Nebraska State fair has evoked a
peculiar criticism. 1t was said that
objection was entered by Congressman
Norris to extending this invitation,
but in explanation Judge Norris is
quoted as saying:
l have no objection to Secretary Wilson
going to Lincoln to attend the state fair.
On the other hand, ! think II is appropri-
ate and proper that he should attend the
fair. The subject matter of the speech he
is to deliver on that occasion is an entirely
different proposition. II Secretary Wilson
is to be sent to Nebraska for the purpose
of talking in favor Of Canadian reciprocity,
then will leave the people to Judge
whether or not that is an interference in
the senatorial campaign, in which one of
the most important issues will be Canadian
reciprocity
This is a case where we believe the
more light the better. If reciprocity
is to be an issue before the people the
more information they get on the sub
ject from authoritative sources the
more intelligent will be their judg-
ment The secretary OF agriculture
ought to be able to tell something
about reciprocity that is worth hearing
and If the people are interested they
will give equally attentive hearing to
anyone who presents a different view.
