Albert Johnson. editor of the Ho-

a candidate for Congressman at
large, says: Big newspapers try
to be fair If all big newspapers
are like the Tacoma Ledger, as to
fairness. they are nothing, ifnot de-
cided failures For instance, the
Tacoma Ledger, in printing the ac-
count of Editor Johnson's recent de-
bate with one George Holmes, of the
|. w. W.'s, gave Johnson's uara
about forty inches of space, while
Holmes side of the question was dis
pensed with in six inches. Perhaps
big newspapers try to be fair. as
Editor Johnson says, but the " try"
part seems to the man in the street,
as far rs they get.

THE SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS.

Walter Murphy, general contract
ing agent of the Sells-Floto Circus,
which comes here on July 18th, was
a visitor to Olympia on Tuesday, and
speaking of the big attraction which
made such a universal hit in the
Northwest last season, he said:
Five years ago a director of amuse-
ments who prophesied an era OF pop
ular prices, such as we are having in
the theatrical world to-day, would
have been rated as being nothing
short of a lunatic. But strange
things happen as the wheel of time
turns, so that to-day we find people
demanding more for their money than
ever before in the history of the
world, and proprietors of attractions
seeking to meet that demand. Per-
haps the exception to this has been
the circus, and barring one instance,
all the old line shows adhere to the
scale of prices which prevailed two
decades ago.
The manage ment of the Sells Floto
Circus, however, for the past three
seasons, has inaugurated new pol
icy, no doubt believing that in doing
so they could retain and hold the
greater portion OF public patronage.
When the simple statement is
made that we have cut the regular
price, which from ii me immemorial
has been the ru lie of the circus, in
half. few people stop to consider
what this means in the regular total
ing of seasons receipts. But COM
ing right down to figures, it shows a
primary discrepancy of almost $780,
900, when compared with the sum
total of season at the old prices.
Considering the fact that it costs
more than $4,000 a day to operate
a big amusement enterprise of this
kind, one can get some idea of the
risk involved when the management
of the circus decided to cut the ad-
mission to % cents. All their rivals
in the circus business expressed the
opinion that such a feat of financial
juglery could not be successfully car
ried out, but the last three years
have proven that these people builded
wisely, and that from an intensely
business standpoint it was possibly
the wisest move they could have
made. The records show that the
attendance has been more than double
and that it is possible to give more
now at the cut-rate price and to en-
large the performance in every way
than it was under the system.
This season the 25-cent traffic will
be enforced everywhere the Sells
Floto Curcus appears. The admis-
sion price admits patrons to the big
show in its entirety, and there are
seats for 10000 purchasers of these
tickets. The management follow ed
with the statement that there is alb
solutely no deviation from the rule.
We carry no so.called accommodation
wagons" where a greater sum is
charged.
The site selected for the big tents
is on the Eastside fill south of Fourth
street. ysThis is undoubtedly the best
location obtainable. and we predict
it will be literally patrOnized,

Value Of the Toad.

1t is estimated that an average toad
is worth to the farmer s. year for
the cut-worms alone which it de-
strOys. But this is only one item.
The amount toad will eat is astonish-
ing. A large specimen has been
known to devOur one hundred rose
beetles at a single meal. One toad
needed seventy-seven myriapods-
the common household centipede-to
satisfy his appetite; another, fifty
five army worms; and yet another,
sixty-tive gypsy moth caterpillars.
Still another toad was seen to eat
thirty-five large, full-grown celery
worms in three hours, while another
accepted eighty six flies, fed to him,
in less than ten minutes.
1t is common thing, when the occu-
pants of an ants nest are swarming,
and the insects are emerging in large
numbers, to see an enterprising toad
sit at the entrance of the burrOw and
snap up every ant that comes out.
The slaughter he accomplishes under
such circumstances is frightful.
But, OF course, most ants are not
reckoned as insects injurious to man
and the toad unquestionably destroys
some species which are beneficial to
the farmer. Upon the whole, be is
immensely useful, devouring count
less numbers of the very worst bug
foes of the crops.
