KIT CARSON'S SHOW
 SEEN BY THE KIDDOS

The schools closed at noon and yesterday afternoon was a gala time for the boys and girls of Yuma. A show or a circus full of excitement and abounding in joy always gets the money with Yuma's juvenile fratern- ity, and yesterday was show day.
 The Kit Carson Buffalo Ranch Wild the Kit Carson Buffalo Ranch Wild West arrived at o'clock in the morn ing and was here all day giving one show at three in the afternoon, which was attended by every man, woman and child who could get to it that time in the day.
 The crowd. was jolly and the show was extra good in spots, particularly the elephants in their unique stunts, and the trapeze work was the best ever seen in Yuma.
 Cowboys, cowgirls, Indians and a riot of all bright colored trappings were there in endless confusion and a representation of the Sattle of Wounded Knee was participated in by some of the survivors of that big fight ax AsIH
 The best riders were the Russian Cossacks, and their daring and ap- parent recklessness was a marvel to all
 Indians and cowboys are not new to Arizona and Arizonans do not go wild over such things as people do back East, but, nevertheless, the av- craze Yumaite enjoys good riding and roping and the Kit Carson show has some experts.
 Like all other shows, tough bunch followed in the wake of this one, and kept the officers alert for cracksmen.
 An unfortunate and ill-advised incl dent occurred in the stop of the show here yesterday. The Examiner does not know who was responsible but Mir. Sells, manager in charge, who came from Chicago to join the big show here, made a bitter complaint that he was rousted out of bed at daylight, just as the shows arrived yesterday morning and told by an of ficer that the show would not be per mitted to unload until the city license was paid.
 Mr.. Sells informed tie officer that all banks were closed at that hour of the morning and that the show was good for the license, and that nowhere else in the world had he ever been asked to pay a license before stock could be unloaded to water. MT Sells raised the license and went back to bed.
 The incident created some feeling and can only result in hurting Yuma on the outside, and at this stage of Yuma's development we need boosters and friends even among showmen-

"SPEAK OUT! SPEAK QUIT"
Democratic Stomachs Revolt Against
 WiIson-M arshalI Mush.

Speak out! Speak out!" Is the al most desperate cry of the New York World, the newspaper chiefly re spOnsible for the nomination of Wood row Wilson in 1912, as it was for the nomination of Alton B. Parker iG 1904. Day after day, it seems, the World has been waiting with ears to the wirdward for some point. some virile, vital expression from its latest presidential jack out of the box on questions of the hour, some solid positive utterance by the candidate, which it could grab and lay about with as campaign shillelah. It has waited in vain. Rounded periods ol dreary drivel. pedagogical common places that might have come out O. a third reader and which had about as much relation to issues of the cam paign as 1t is a sin to steal a pin" has to Metropolitan opera, have been ted to curious crowds and to editors waiting with whetted Ieus for red hot meteors of inspiration.
 Disappointment and disgust are not confined to the World office. We asked you for bread and you gave us 6 stone" Is paraphrased in Democratic sentiment by We asked you for meat and you gave us mush." Nause ated with Wilson they turned to Mar shall only to find him as aperient ol vacuous platitudes as his coadjutor
 It's hopeless appeal. AS well try to seize the elusive tail of a greaseG pig at a county fair as expect to get anything definite out of Wilson. He was definite enough when he said in his History of the American Peo- pie" that the Chinese are more to be desired as workmen, if not as citi Gens," than "the coarse crew crowding in at eastern ports"-that is, immi grants from Europe He was definite enough in saying in the same book that congress had dealt very harshly'' in passing the law excluding Chinese from the United States. He was defi- nite enough in denouncing immigrants from Poland, Hungary and Italy.
 Evidently Wilson can speak out if he wants to. and the inference is that he is afraid to- On the issue of a navy powerful enough to defend the interests and uphold the honor of the United States he is silent for fear of offending the Democratic majority in congress opposed to strengthening the navy. On the tariff he is, to quote an old comparison, neither a man, nor mouse, nor 8 long tailed rat" but more like one of those ancient Egyp- tian monstrosities carved on the mum my cases, with heads looking contrari- wise. On one pC'nt he is definite-he wants to be president, and he doesn't care much how he gets there. He Is willing to slosh through a sea of bosh to the White House, and now that he has the nomination he counts upon the world and the rest of the whang- doodles to follow, whether they like bis style or not.

 Protection also hinders com merce immensely.

HAS CHANGED AS CANDIDATE
Woodrow Wilson's Speeches Now
 Those of Office Seeker.

Scattered among the platitudes of Dr. Wilson's speech of acceptance are some truths. None is more significant than this:
 We stand in the presence of an awakened nation. impatient of partisan make believe"
 Following which he makes believe that he is telling the voters of the coun- try his position on the campaign issues. from . reading of the speech precisely what that position is. Some slight en- nghtenment comes from time to time in his later utterances. like, for ex- ample, the declaration the other day that Tammany is to be safe from his assaults; but none of 1t is satisfying.
 Dr. Wilson, in the preconyention days, was represented to the country as a scholarly gentleman. too lofty of mind to practice the wiles of the pro fessional politician, too earnest in the cause of good government to be sught but frank and fearless in his expres- sion. too unselnsh to pat private ambi- ton above the public veal. too idealis- tic in character to truckls to the forces of evil In the nation.
 But how singularly he has masked all of these qualities since William Jennings Bryan forced his nomination at Baltimore.
 There is 10 difference, save in the purity of the English. between his speeches and the speeches of the pro fessional ofice seeker of the worst period in American politics He steps pussy footed over all the large Ques- tions of the day. He exhibits . gus piciously broad tolerance for all ele- ments in the body politic. even the clements which, to nominate him, Bry- an found it expedient to denouncs by name in the convention. There is none of the rugged frankness of ut terance that characterized his writings in the days before he was inoculated with the virus of political ambition. He is proving over apt as an advanced student of practical politics.
 It is not pleasant nor . heartsning exhibition he makes of himself The right minded citizen can feel nothing but sadness in contemplating . man of education and culture so intent upon partisan and personal victory that he sacrifices those ideals of truth and honesty for which he has a1wsys stood to fawn apon and honeyfugls the voters.
 Dr. Wilson ss . candidate is not in character with the Dr. Wilson that was pictured to us prior to the Balti- more convention. This awakened na- ton, impatient sf partisan make b~ hsve," detects the difference.
