women OF Kentucky wanted suffrage.
Another had the temerity TO declare
that he did not propose to vote for n

chiefly by members OF whist clubs. He

result In incalculable benefits to the

ing In this movement. There is no
reason now for the distinct establish

The present movement originated
In 1910. when the House of Bishops
of the Episcopai church convened in
Cincinnati. A commission was ap-
pointed at that time to begin the effort
for universal religious peace. This
commission received its first endow.
ment from the late J. p. Morgan, and
at once approached the Official bodies
OF all sects with an Invitation to join
In preparation for the worldwide
amalgamation OF Christian churches.
For the past four years the representa-
uves OF thirty-seven sects have been
reporting to the Episcopal commits
sion, and have constituted themselves
an advisory committee endowed with
the power TO invite all the creeds OF
all the nations TO confer on the sub

makes this comprehensive plea for I'M

doubt and misgivings we would hold
up the belief that the Lords prayer
for the oneness OF His disciples was
intended TO be fulfilled. and that II

is practicable in the state, for men OF

WHY CAN'T IT BE ooNeY

II may interest some. Republicans
IN West Virginia OF Progressive affili-
atoms to know that the Democratic
national platform and their platform
sGree in the exemption of coast-wise
vessels from canal tolls. The Repub-
lican party never committed itself on
the subject. President Taft was op-
posed to free tolls. and advised that
the question be submitted TO the
Hague tribunal for final solution.
There is another point of interest:
The Hon. Oscar Straus. who was the
Progressive candidate for Governor Of
New York in 1912. and who is now
directing the affairs OF that party, has
announced himself as being unequiv-
ocally opposed TO free tolls for Amer
lean vessels. When asked how he
reconciled his position with the ex-
pressions OF his party's platform, he
said. 81 throw the platform to the
winds. as against the matter OF ma
tional honor" Now when such a
leader as Stfaus can subordinate the
Progressive platform to his personal
view on a question like this. what is
20 hinder other Progressives from
coming out in the open and throw
ing the platform to the winds on mat
tiers Of less disagreement with the
principles OF the Republican party.
with view to holding UP the national
honor in other instances threatened
by the policies OF the national
Democracy.
n the platform can be abated so
easily In this matter, why cannot II
be abated in West Virginia for the
sake OF eleoting a legislature that
will ensure the preservation OF pro-
gressive legislation. which surely will
be assaulted ~ the element in the
Democratic party in this state con-
trolled by Chiffon and Watson gains
the ascendancy through failure Of the
Progressives joining with the Repub-
iicans in supporting a single legis-

cratic candidate for governor against

and IL Is understood that an active
campaign in his behalf will be made.
Licking county Democrats have been
so completely ignored by Cox in his
appointments To state positions. and
disguised with his efforts in building

for the rights of the people In his anti

press their feelings at the ballot box.

CHAMPION RIDING EXPERTS.
Whsetsr Drus. Circus Shows RepIets With crsat Equestrian Features.

4
 The new and wonderful European Arenic features that have been added to the Wheeler Bros. shows appearing n Norwich Wednesday, May Ia, in DAnfeleon Friday, May Is, Putnam Saturday. May 16, are many and varied tho brilliant galaxy of star feature acts as the LARcy-Sexton troupe, now seen for the first time in America. These clever people are acknowledged the chamDion' riding experts of Europe and appear in what is classed as the only or1Gt1sal equestrian acts known to the circus for the past haff century. Their simpfest feats are not within the range of accomplishment of the average equestrian, and their more heroic sf- forts are the bane of envious rivals. They are noted for their dexterouS i'm divfduaI and conJunctive performances, which embrace a series of riding and athletic stunts entirely new to the Amsrican arena, concluding with sim
 qf1AeOus bounding leaps from the mound to the backs of horses. The certainty of execution with which all their faats gre accomplished gives a fntGhsd toUeh that is so frequently Iaok1ng in ordinary riders. The Leroy Sexton troupe are not alone, however, in the Wheeler Bros. equestrian con- tingont. There are many other riders ok both sexes whose names are snyonY- nous with the best and greatest in seQl1pstFiaH achievements and the ma- 5ority of whom are progeny of illustri- 0<sg riding families, thus combining ac- QtEired skill with hereditary genius. They represent every school and style of riding-beuHding, jockey, semer- Gau1ting, hurdle, menage and race rid- CTS and heroic horsemanship of the kFont1ex.
 A company of genuine Cossack rid CTS in native costume give an exhibi- ton of. daring whirlwind riding which has never beer equafled. Positively the greatest act of it's kind ever offer od by any travelling organization.
