ship was received by ME last Tues
day. and on Monday, the day preced-
ing. a bill was passed in the senate
which provided for granting cannon

as l feel certain I could have had ia
consideration of an amend
ment when the bill was up.
Very truly yours.

RAF CASES DELAyEn

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 29.-Attorney
Hugh Shepard declared tonight that
the Investigation of alleged alderman
ic graft and enrolment frauds in De-
troit and also the prosecution Of the
cases already started have been halted,
temporarily at least, because OF the
lack of funds. The principal reason
he said is because a member of the
board Of auditors has applied for an
Injunction to restrain him from using
$4,000 recently appropriated.

No STREET PARADE
The Wild West and Far East VIII Not
Give a street Pageant When the EN-
hIhitIon Visits OcaIa Friday. Octo-
her 10Th.

For many reasons the mana cement
Of Buffalo Bits Wild West and Pawnee
Bits Far East has decided 20 abandon
the street parade which has. in years
past, been the usual thing with trav-
cling organizations Of this size and
character. II is set forth in many in
stances the late arrival of the train
bearing the para phernalia makes IT
impossible 10 give a parade and start
the afternoon performance on time.
Through these delays the public is
compelled TO experience a tedious
wait. while the work Of preparing for
the performance goes on. Again il is
considered an unnecessary hardship TO
compel men and horses to parade for
two hours before beginning the after
noon exhibition. especially when il j.
considered that two shows every day
are the rule with this exhibition. BY
doing away with the street pageant
men and horses are fresh for their
performance and il would seem that
the public is entitled to a perfect per-
Torrance. which il pays for, rather
than a free street parade which gives,
al best. but a poor idea Of the magni-
tude Of the exhibition. Another reason
which has served TO influence the de-
cI~lOn Is the fdCt that merchants II
the cities visited object TO parades be-
cause they interrupt business and in
tarfere with general traffic. So strenu-
Gus is this objection that in many
cities a permit to parade cannot be Sc
cured. and in other places the fee de-
manded is set at such an eXorbitant
rate that ii practically prohibits street
pageantS. In any event the mana ge-
ment is satisfied that the public prefer
an afternoon performance given with
snap and vigor displaying the best ef-
forts Of the participants. rather than TO
have their entertainment interfered
with through the fatigue of the partic-
| ipants after two or three hours Of
street parading in all sorts Of weather.
| The public is reminded, however, that
| in moving the properties and para
| phernalia of the exhibition from the
| railroad to the grounds, will, in itself
| constitute a parade of greater interest
| and vastly more novel than any other
organization can offer. The Indians
and roughriders will ride their horses
to the grounds and the sight will be
an ample reward for the elimination
of the hackneyed parade Of other days

GUNBY AGAINST L'ENGLE

Rumors going around the state are
to the effect that Mr.. f. r. Gunby, bull
moose candidate for congressman-at-
large, stands a show TO defeat Claude
L'Engle.
Mr.. Gunby's ability and popularity of
course are admitted; and these rumOrs
have it that to the large republican
and personal vote he can poll will be
added enough votes of democrats who
dislike Claude to elect the bull moose.
No doubt a good many of a certain
kind Of democrats would dearly love
to see Claude defeated-by anybody
for those who hate Claude hate him
very cordially, and no one can blame
them. But there is no more real dem
ocrat in Florida than Claude LEngle
he won the nomination in a straight
out campaign, no true democrat can
vote against him, and his walk-over is
certain. AS to these rumOrs, in many
Instances the wish is father to the
thought.-St. Petersburg Times.
Mr.. Gunby is a mighty fine man; the
Star thinks he deserves the full sup
port of the progressives, and that the
regular republicans will show wisdom
and principle in voting for him.
AS for Mr.. LEngle, no more able and
devoted champion OF all the people has
ever announced for an office in this
state. He was nominated in the dem
Ocratic primary, he needs only demo
cratic votes to elect him and any man
who voted in the primary and Their
votes against L'Engle will commit g
breach Of faith that will be inexcusablt
from persona. aS well as a political
standpoint

INFATUATION AND ILLUSION

The following from the New York
World was written for the benefit of
the progressIves, but they are also
good for the consideration Of the re-
publicans and socialists.
There never was any harmful labor
by women in this country until the
benefciaries of protective tariffs Great
ed the necessity for it by their cheap
imported male labor
There never was any harmful labor
by children in this country until the
benefciaries of extortionate tariffs
made wages so low that parents could
not live upon their own earnings.
There never was an invisible gov
eminent" of greed and graft at Wash
ington until il was built up as a bull
wark Of the favored interests that
have grown rich and powerful through
their tariffs of extOrtion.
The pitiable conditions which agon-
ize a man like George W. Perkins Of
the Harvester Trust have all sprung
up under the economic system that has
made him rich. Unconditional men
might say that the surest cure for
! these evils would be the repeal Of the
unjust laws whose progeny they are.
| With their backs turned 10 the tariff
and the trusts, however our devoted
crusaders are marching TO the words
and music of Onward, Christian Sol
diers" in a mighty onslaught not upon
| bad laws and bad policies but upon
disease. death and sorrow.
| Some of the sufferings of humanity
| appear to he necessary while many
are unnecessary. Among the latter
are all those that may justly be at
tributed to infatuation and delusiOn.
