The LEGAL picture men deserve credit
when they stage for the benefit of the
Younger generation such historical
events as the battle Of Gettysburg. As
the picture has not yet been exhibited
here. The Herald connot of course speak
Of its merits from the entertainment
standpoint. Judging by the standard of
excellence already set b. the Drcamland
people. it wi be safe to assume that ii
will be quite mp to the mark. If the only
purpose of war pictures Of tina, SORT
were mercy to fan the fires Of section
II hatred their exhibition would be i
mistake. But we have now come 70 4
point when we ca nthink calmly Of the
great struggle and accept its results
without bitterness. Gettysburg will for
ever remain Il great point IN our history
ana the cducative value of it. shown in
moving pictures Will be beyond price. L
will make history real to uS-and cSpccl
ally to the pupils in the S.hools.

HUERTA'S TITLE.

1t may be that the reporters are not
reporting Henry Lane Wilson fairly
and frankly. He is represented as SAYING
in effect that the Hucrta government is
just as legal as that of Roosevelt after
he succeeded Mckinley. 1t is not diff
cult to- imagine Henry Lane Wilson
talking nonsense, but it is difficult to
imagine any man, qua flied to enter the
high schools of our country, talking non
sense like hat Which is why we re
mar that he has not been reported ac-
curately at least moi fully. If the words
ascribed to him were actually used. il
must be that he used other words 10
qualify them so that they must bear
some other sense than they bear by them
selves He perhaps meant to say that
Huerta rules by a title which many
good MeXicans hold to be good enough
for practical purposes-a title which
they are content to let 90 uncha lcnged
in what seems to them to be the best
way open to them.
The recent ambassador to Mexico
must know, if he knows anything. that
III hOOSt WIZ IIOI any II lilill
could hold the Office Of president Of this
country by IN such title as ~IIuerta is
able to claim. The thing is unthinkable.
The presence of a man in the president
ial chair of the United States, with no
better title to it than ~Iluerta may claim
to the Office he holds in Mexico. would
not mean a triumph of law but Il defect
OF law. lit would mean 4 revolution here
as it means in Mexico. 1t would mean
that the constitution was dead: that law
was at an end: that we had comc t. the
end of the habitablc world and had EN-
bafked on chaos.
When Roosevelt succeeded Mckinney
he was the only man then alive or the
earth who had any c0'pr Of title to sue
coed him That cannot be- said Of ~IIucrta.
from any standpoint Of Mexican law.
What Mr.. Wilson intended to say
doubtless what he did aay-was to the
effect that the government arising from
revolutionary moNcmcnts-goyernment
by cOnqueSt-ad interim government. of
ten become iegaIi2cd by the tacit or cX-
press consent Of the pcOple-or by some
other process. Vet il ~i~.uunSynSc ~ speak
of it as perfectly cgal in the same sense

HACENBECk- WALLACE AT LITTLE ROCK WEDNESDAY,
ONE OF WORLDS GREATEST SHOWS TO EXHIBIT AT
 CAPITAL CITY.

It's great to be a kid once more, and hear the lions growl and roar, and see the bears and feed the monks and sprinkle peanuts on the trunks of elephants all in row that keep a-swinging to and fro; it's grand, you know, to be kid and see that big Hagenbeck-Wa Wallace Circus Show.
 It's great to sit and watch the clowns perform their funny ups and downs, and see them laugh and hear them chaff until you split your sides in half; and watch those blokes play wicked jokes upon some unsuspecting mokes, as fat and thin they amble in, to make you sqeal and smile and grin.
 It's fine to sit and watch the rings, that hold so many, many things, with horses here and horses there; and pretty girls with golden curls per forming scary mid-air whils, and drivers bold in cars of gold, that race as in the days of old; and monkeys that will ride astride of ponies that are true and tried and throw ball, but never fail; it's mighty hard to watch it all.
 It's great to see the big circus pa rade, and swallow circus lemonade, and see the lights and wonder sights, and pretty girls in spangled tights ; and feast your gaze upon the blaze that the tent displays. Oh, once a year, it's grand, you know, to see the circus show.
 After unbosoming of the above the circus man intimated that the Carl Hagenbeck and Great Wallace Shows Combined would arrive in Little Rock Wednesday, September 10 aboard three special trains. Two perform ances will be given, at 2 and 8 p. m. The doors to the monster geological paradise will be opened an hour earl ir A two-mile long street parade will leave the show grounds at 100 o'clock.
