ADJUSTMENTS.
The Circus Tomorrow.

Miss Marguerite Driesbock, is the
name of the young lady who is APP
pearing here with her troupe of lions
with Gollmar Brothers shows which
comes to Keokuk tomorrow.
Miss Driesbock, who is graduate
in vocal music of a well known col
lege in Germany. has an exceptionally
fine voice, and is musician Of no
mean ability. 1t was the intention OF
her parents that she should become
prima donna, and with this end in
view, she visited the leading cities OF
the old world, serving under the best
tutors that money could procure.
All her life Miss Driesbock had
shown great liking for wild animals
and finally was allowed by her father
who by the way, was the owner of one
of the largest trained wild animal
shows in the world, and which has
been purchased in its entirety by Col
mar Brothers. After a good deal Of
coaxing Miss Marguerite was allowed
to enter the training quarters Of her
father. Her visits became more and
more frequent. After once having
gained permission she set out to
try and gain the confidence of the an
imals in their cages. She avidly con.
sumed all books and literature of hah-
it's and customs Of wild animals. Nov

ing More Roadway can be gained by

being humane man, had long disep

ready to fall in line with his daugE-
ter's suggestions.
When they were first put into effect
at the quarters the other trainers re-
belled, saying they were afraid to en-
ter the cages unprotected The young
lady in the meantime had made pets
of all the small animals and had en-
tered their cages to prove the truth
and fallacy of her argument.

landed was called st. George. He at
tempted to keep the discovery of the
islands a secret, but like many anoth-

and many other seal hunters followed
closely in his wake. Settlements were
established and the hunting Of seals
was begun in earnest.
Toward the very last years of the
eighteenth century the Russian Amer

given full control of commercial priv

In the first few years of the nine

of seals were killed. AS many as two

school building, all work has been
stopped. According to the contractors,
Wilcoxen & Coffman, it may be thirty

In the meantime all work must be sus-

contractors are in no way responsible
1t is well known fact that the steel
mills of the country have been running
behind with their orders for the past
six months, owing to the unusual de-
mand from all parts of the country for
steel products.
The side-wall construction of the
new building is nearly UP to the sec

being made until the failure Of the
steel to arrive stopped the work.

creature in whom every fiber and
sinew burned flame of hatred and re-
venge, a beast that every animal
trainer had not dared go near, this is
the beast that this little slip of gir,.
not yet out of her teens, had decided
to subdue with kindness and kindness
alone.
One day when Herr Driesbock had
gone away and the male trainers had
left her alone in the quarters, Marg-
uerite approached the cage containing
the monster lion. She commenced
singing one of those quaint German
songs. The beast at first uttered a
low growl and made as II to spring at
her, but she kept singing and ap-
preaching nearer, and he began to re-
lax and finally lay fiat on the floor OF
his cage. Marguerite needless OF all
former warnings, put her hands
through the bars and gently stroked
his massive head. She continued sing
ing and slowly but surely opened the
door of the cage. The lion at first
gathered himself as If for a spring, but
as the young lady continued singing
he slowly relaxed again. When he
found the lady meant him no harm he
was SO surprised that he lay down
peaceful and quiet. From that time on
Miss Marguerite had him under her
control greatly to the surprise of the
male trainers. Miss Driesbock has
this monster lion trained until he
seems possessed of almost human in
telligence.
When Gollmar Brothers purchased
Herr Driesbock's trained wild animal
circus, Miss Marguerite accompanied
lit to this country and is appearing
twice daily in Gollmar Brothers circus
with her troupe of lions.

One Crime Calls For Another.

That transgression of law or one
crime not infrequently leads to another
that is more aggravated. is shown by
the recent murder of Herman Rosen-
thai, noted gambler, in the heart OF
New York with the electric lights shin
ing as bright as day.
1t became known that Rosenthal con-
templated giving information to the
district attorney to the effect that GER
tain public officials had been eXactlng
heavy toll of him in order that ne might
have immunity from the law. Con-
scious of their guilt and knowing too
that severe punishment would follow
should the gambler "squeaP' on them,
these men, either with their own hands,
or by proxy, murdered him.
After these sworn officers of the law
had taken the first wrong step, that of
accepting hush money from Rosenthal,
it became necessary to commit Sec
ond and graver crime in order to cover
up the first one.

Tariff . Esavy Burden.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson struck the key
note when he said the iniQa a:tous tariff
has more to do with the high cost Of
living than any other one thing. Ger
tain pet industries are being protected.
which causes the consumers, the great
masses Of the people, to pay from 10
to so per cent more for many Of the
actual necessities than they should. In
the cost Of sugar alone, which is an
article Of daily consumption in every
household, about so per cent Of the
money paid the grocer is for import
duty on raw or crude sugar. For eve
ry 81 paid for sugar only 70 cents
worth of actual sugar is obtained.
This one item serves to show what
an enormous burden is borne by the
people without their actually realizing
it. Were tariff levied for revenue on
ly, the cost of living would be very ma
terially reduced.
The Democratic party stands first,
last, and all the time, for tariff reduc-
tion, and this plank alone should cause
the people Of every section of the I'm
ION to rally around its standard.

Board Acted Wisely.

While The Advertiser has no direct
interest in the matter, yet we were
pleased to see the announcement to the
effect that the board of trustees of
Chicora college decided not to change
the location of that institution. 1t is
manifestly unjust to town or city that
h as in season and out of season sup
ported an institution Loyalty and gener-
ously to have it removed to another
to wn simply upon the ground that the
latter offers, temporarily, larger and
more generous support.
Of course, there are occasionally good
and sufficient reasons why the location
of a college should be changed, but to
put it on basis of dollars and cents,
or temporary support, is, to our mind,
not alone a sufficient ground. General
ly when such changes are made the
prestige and standing of an institution
suffer loss.
Such reasons as health, sanitation, in
order to be more accessible to terrific
ry from which support or patronage is
drawn, etc., are we'll founded; but to
put aninstitution on the block and say,
in effect, that twill be knocked down
to the highest bidder, is too mercena-
ry and commercial to be defensible.

Heed The Timely Advice.

Be careful what you say in talking
politics. "Wounds made by words are
hard to heal. "-Laurens Herald.
The Advertiser not only wishes to
heartily endorse the foregoing lines
from our Laurens contemporary, but
we wish to give its timely advice the
widest possible circulation. How
thoughtless and unwise it is-positive-
ly foolish, in fact-for people to say
harsh things in discussing politics and
politicians. Practically no good, and
frequently much harm, results from
these hastily spoken words. The safe
and sane course to pursue, is to avoid
all impassioned political discussions
with everyone.
There are ninety-nine chances to one
that Mr.. A. will never convince his
neighbor, Mr.. B., that Mr.. c. is better
qualified for this or that office than Mr..
D. Then what's the use of jeopardiz-
ing their friendship by making the at
tempt?
There is nothing on the top side of
the earth in which most men are so
"sot in their ways" as they are in
politics, and you had about as we'll try
to lead stubborn OK out OF a branch a
hot July day by silk thread as to try
to convince any hard-headed voter that
his favorite candidate is not the acme
Of perfection.
The Good Book says Job multiplied
his words without knowledge. Well,
THAI is just what everyone who dis
cusses politics is prone to do-multiply
W ords without knowledge. In our zeal
and loyalty for our friend and favorite
candidate, sometimes our reason gives
way to rashness; then it is that we are
liable to utter words that wound.

Tomorrow under the stately oaks of
the old academy grove those who are
seeking political honors will address a
large number of Edgefeld voters. Let
us hope and put forth every effort to
the end that at the close of the day
there will be nothing to regret.
In the years gone by many similar
meetings have been conducted on the
same spot in digniied and orderly
manner. Surely the people of this
generation will not lower the standard
set by their sires.

A Good Prohibition Law.

This splendid Union of ours may go
to the 'demnition bow-wows' politically,
but there are grounds for the belief
that it is reasonably safe morally. A
few days ago the House passed the
senate bill prohibiting the transmits
sion Of prize fighting moving picture
films from state to state, which practi-
-cally eliminates their use altogether.

fciently awakened and quickened to
