MUST BE GOOD.
The Fair Management Gusts some Bad
Stand Men.

Summary action was taken by the
directors of the Grand Forks Fair
association yesterday when they
found that concession owners were
stepping over the bounds. In one
case, a restaurant man attempted to
make an over charge for his wares,
and he met with trouble right away.
In another case, a concession owner
wasn't willing to make good, and a
few minutes later he found himself
out of a place to do business.

$50O,0O SPECTACLE WITH CIRCUS Scenic Production of Cleopatra Given as Opening Feature of
 Barnum @ Bailey Show. -

The greatest achievement in the hie- tory of the circus. and also in the staging of spectacular amusements of any kind, is found in the scenic pro- duction of ''Cleopatra" which is this season beginning the regular circus of the Barnum and Bailey show. It cost $600,0o0 and is enacted by a cost of 1,26O actors, chorus Of 800 sing CTS, "a ballst of 950 dancing girls, an orchestra of 100 soloists, $50 horses, i've herds of elephants, caravans of cam cry, costumes. properties, and stage devices for the producing of such ef- fects as sand storms on the desert, r1irages. volcanoes in action, earth quakes with tumbling temples, sunrise and moonlight.
 The realism of the stage sittings are perfect. It is as though the audi ence was looking into the streets of sAisxanfEda in 4he sdays of EIecpatra. The streets of the ancient capital of Egypt throng with strange cosmopoli- tan life: the Nile and the pyramids lay in the middle distance and be- yond them stretch the sandy wastes of the great desert. The scenery was painted by the greatest scenic artists of Paris, London and New York. The properties were gathered in Egypt by envoys of the circus. and the costumes were made in Tunis, Berlin, Paris and New York. The stage was built at the workshops of the circus under the direction of the former stage carpen- ter of the La Scale theatre at Milan, Italy. The music was arranged by Faltis Effendf himself an Egyptian, and late bandmaster of the Khedive. The ballet is under the guidance of Ottokar Bartik, balletmaster of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company.
 The stage is handled by a crew of fifty electricians, fifty scene shifters and forty property men,, It is larger than a hundred ordinary theatres and

THE INDEPENDENT VS.. THE PAR
TY CANDIDATE

Had I run as a candidate in the pri-
maries, / would have practically
pledged myself as a democrat, bound
by the regulations and restrictions OF
the party machine. Under such obi.
cation it would have then naturally
been expected of me that | publish
nothing thereafter in the editorial
columns of the American Eagle which
would be at variance with approved
and orthodox democratic doctrine,
and any criticism of democratic
means or methods would have been
looked upon as nothing short of high
treason.
In fact, under the above named con-
ditions, the wings of the American
Eagle might have been clipped, and
from a bird of freedom it would pos
sibly have degenerated into sub,
servent partisan mouthpiece, voicing
not its own views. but rather those Of
the party leaders. Now, it is just
such hampering party entanglements
that | am seeking to avoid, for when
the Eagle loses its independence of
speech and action its usefulness as .

E1,rroe Of rooar-
election, have been told that I would
undoubtedly have been elected had
run as a candidate in the democratic
primary, but l would rather be de-
feated a dozen times as political
candidate than to place myself in 4
position where l might be expected to
sacrifice in any degree freedom OF
speech and action-Estero American

Prohibition in Practice

Iceland has no jails, nor penitenti-
airy; there is no court, and only one
policeman. Not a drop OF alcoholic
liquor is made on the island It's 49,
600 people are total abstainers. since
they will not permit any liquor to be
imported. There is not an illiterate
person on the island, nor a child ten
years old unable to read; the system
of public schools is practically per
feet. Much of the improvement is
due to the abolition of the liquor trae-
fic and prohibition of all alcoholic
beverages in this compact little island
of the north. Selected
