attented animal fairs.
Speaking of elephants suggests q
contrast of the present day herds with
the lone pachdvderm who the single
feature of the pioneer tent shows.
There are train load of these great,
grey mountains under the Ringing
banner. They, too, are prohibitionists

of eighty gallons of water day, large
portions of which will undoubtedly be
carried to them by the local youngsters
on circus day.
The elephants occupy one entire end
of the menagerie tent and are said to
be not only the largest in size but to
have the most extensive peanut appe-

allow visitors to view the menagerieA
The first official" appearance OF the
circus following the unloading will
come with the parade which will leave
the show grounds at 10 A. M. and
traverse the usual route. And If there
are those who must deny themselves
the treat Of closer inspection Of the
"stars of the Ringing ZOO, consola-
ton may be had from the promise that
scores of the dens will be left open
while the pageant passes through the
streets to say nothing Of the swath

camels driven like horses, followed by
a whole block of numbering elephants.

I'VE went to the animal fair,
The beasts and the birds were there;
The old racoon by the light of the moon,
Was coming his auburn hair.
The monkey he got drunk,
And fell over the elephants trunk,
The elephant sneezed, went down on
his knees,
And what became Of the monk2"
So run the words of the old partsopg
as familiar as grandfather's CLOCK
itself, and still sung the world over
when hearts are young aud picnicing is
good. And with the approach of u
Goth century descendant of the old

hundred times larger than the author
OF the homely verse ever dreamed Of
the tune again comes irresistably to
mind.
In this day and age the vast collec
tion Of animals which the big clrcuses
carry from place to place are no longer
known as fairs" but bear the more
comprehensive name of-Manageries.
For the past several years the most
com plete and the largest of these have
been those owned and exhibited by the
Ringing Brothers. And on Friday,
July End, when the long string Of red
and yellow cars bearing the Ringing
name pull into the railroad yards they
will be loaded down with the most
extensive zoo that has ever come to
spend day in this city.
Thus those who wend their way to
the show grounds will be able to
measure the great Ringing menagerie
with the meagre description of the old
time fair left by the poet of by gone
days Not alone in the matter of name
does the hard of yester.year fail to
describe the present day Zoo He

The remarkable step of Mr.. Bryan, in

will not remain mute. They will de

Judging from his first gun, they will
have little difficulty in defending it
Politicians may say that they are with

Notwithstanding the friendly charac

former secretary, there is unquestion
ably some bitterness. If Mr.. Bryan is
human he must have felt keenly his
treatment in connection with the pre-
paration of the last two notes No
secretary of state was ever paid such
scant courtesy before. He was treated
as 6gurehead, the president and Mr..

other hand, resent the resignation at
such time, and the subsequent state.

cabinet partly to prevent the criticisms

party will side with the president, but

could do the president equal harm.

DECISION KILLS
NEGRO VOTE BAR
U. S. Supreme Court Knocks
Out Grandfather" Clauses.
SOUTHERN STATES ARE HIT

In Unanimous Opinion Justices Hold
Acts DISTINGUISHING Many Negroes
Violate Fifteenth Amendment to
constjtutlon-cases Affect Mary
land and Oklahoma.
Washington, June 22.-In decision
so broad as probably to annul grand
| father clause" enactments in every
southern state which has adopted
such laws, the supreme court held in
valid Oklahoma and Maryland legis-
lation aimed at restricting the negro
vote. The decision was unanimous.
The decision, in short, was that it
is violation of the fifteenth amend
ment for a state to select arbitrarily
date, such as 1866, and provide that
persons not qualified to vote On that
date or whose ancestors were not so
qualified are barred from voting, or
must submit to voting tests not re.
quired of others.
Election Officers Liable.
nc COul lul lllCI llat ClCCllOIi
officials who sought to enforce such
clauses could be held amenable to law
for denying persons a right to vote,
and that such officials could not dis
regard the fact that the fifteenth
amendment had stricken out of the
state law the word white" as quail
ification of voting.
For more than fifteen years the
grandfather clause" has been insert
ed in constitutions of southern states.
The most popular form has been to
exempt from educational and proper
ty tests for voting those who could
vote in 1866, 1867 or 1868, thus allow
ing the tests to apply to those who
aid not vote at those dates.
Gist Of Oklahoma Law.
The Oklahoma grandfather clause
provides that no person shall be reg.
istered as an elector in this state or
be allowed to vote in any election
herein unless he be able to read and
write any section of the constitution
of the State of Oklahoma, but no per-
son who was On Jan. 1, 1866, or at
any time prior thereto, entitled to
vote under any form of government,
or who at that time resided in some
foreign nation, and no lines descend
ant of such person shall be denied
the right to register and vote because
of his inability to so read and write
sections of such constitution"
Same Thing in Maryland.
In Maryland the clause was insert.
ed in laws governing elections in va
rious cities. In 1908 it was inserted
in the law governing municipal elee.
tions in the City of Annapolis. 1t au.

"all citizens who before Jan. /, 1868,
were entitled to vote in the State of
Maryland or any cher state of the
United States at a state election and
the lawful male descendants of any
person who prior to Jan. 1, 1868, were
entitled to vote in the State of Mary.

JUST LIKE A WOMAN.

(From the Kansas City Journal.)
A girl in town had a proposal Of
marriage Sunday night, and asked a
week to consider it before filing her
answer, testified T. A. Sawhill. She
then organized herself into an in
vestigating committee and began
taking testimony from the married
women of her acquaintance. Thel
first one she visited used to be a
belle and the most admired girl in
the town before she was married six
years ago.
The cross-examination brought out
the fact that she had three children,
did all her own work, including her
washing and ironing, and hadn't been
down town for four weeks, and that
her husband had given. Der but So
since she was married and that he"
had borrowed and forgot to pay back
$40 which her brother once gave her
for a Christmas present. He bought
a new overcoat with the money,
while she wore the same plush coat
that she wore when he was counting
her.
Another woman whom she visited
quit teaching school three years ago,
to marry "the handsomest and best
dressed man in town." and she is
now supporting him.
A third didn't dare to say her soul
was her WI when her husband was
around, though she used to write
some lovely Essays, when she was at
school on the Emancipation of wom-
en-" and the fourth woman she visit
ed was divorced.
After visiting them and summing
up the evidence she went home and
wrote to the young man.. She will /,
be married to him next month.

Too Much Terror.

Owners of dogs, and they certain
ly know something about them, are
protesting against the muzzling law.
We read in the New York Herald:
"Dr. De Mund is a well-known
physician, and his opinion concern
ing the new law and its effects in
the matter of preventing a rabies
epidemic in the city is interesting ~
In an interview for the Herald, Dr.
De Mund said that it was absolutely
unnecessary to place a muzzle upon
a dog which is held in leash, and that
so far as rabies is concerned, it is one
of the rarest diseases known to medi-
cal science and very few cases have
been positively diagnosed. The only
positive case that was ever brought
to his attention as a medical man was
caused by a cat scratching the vic.
tim on the hand.
"Another case," said DR.. De Mund. |
"was that of a boy in Brooklyn five
years ago. 1t was said that the bow
had developed hydrophobia, but
when an autopsy was performed II
was positively established that the
boy died from tobacco poisoning"
This might be more enjoyable
world if the instigators of all panicM
laws were muzzled and law-abidinp
dogs let alone.-Ex.

those WfhO have Thurs ~pefwgrnad their
functions. But also it would be easy
to exaggerate their SHINING Their
elevation to their places; of Yswer did
not wholly divest them Of the sense
of grievance and prejudice which
they had when they were but private
citizens, and which as private citi-
zens, they had been entitled to by the
conduct of the railroads: They were
melted by the recollection of the
wrongs done by the railroads. and If
their decisions were i'm many instan-
ces inequitable, they were not alto
gether void Of justice as; MEASURES of
punishment. If they have made the
railroads pray and fast, they have
but imposed a penifentfaE season
which their sins had made seasonable
and not unsalutary. But a season.
of fasting, however suitable for the
renovation of the spirit, will, if un-
duly prolonged and made too rigor-
Gus, result in the death of the sinner.
And it is not his death, but his re-
pentance, which it is OUT interest to
accomplish. Undoubtedly we have
come to the point-and this is partic-
uIarIy true of us i'm Texas-where we
can not continue the penalty without
ourselves sharing in the punishment.
We must modify OUT policy of repri-
sal into of regulation, and we
can quite agree with MI. Underwood
that unless we do very shortly make
it undergo this modification we shall
before a great while be in the posi-
ton of having to call on the Govern
ment to supply the further TRANSPORT
tation facilities that we shall mead if
our industrial and social growth is
not to be arrested.

Text Book Exchange

A pamphlet has just been is
sued by the State Department OF
Public Instruction containing
full information rs to the con
dltion under which old textbooks
may be exchanged for new ones,
and giving the exact price OF the
new book and the exchange
value of the old one.
These pamphlets will be sent
out to the division superlntend
ents and through them every
teacher in the State will get a
copy.
Three kinds of exchanges are
provided for, as follows:
Grade exchange, winch means
that price which must be paid
for a book in addition to the re
turn Of All old book OF the same
grade.
Devotional exchange, or the
exchange Of q higher book for
lower one, as q Second Reader
for First Reader.
Promotional exchange, or the
exchange Of "a book Of lower
grade tor one of higher grade,
as Fourth Reader for a Fifth
Reader.
The average exchange value Of |
the old books is so per cent of
the price Of the new books.
This promotional and demo
tional exchange is new feature
of the States book contracts,
which the board insisted upon
this year. Heretofore, the only |
books which could be exchanged |
We're those of the same grade. |
This resulted in a great hardship,
especially on promoted pupils,
making 1T hard for them to dis
pose of their books.
This new feature will result i'll
a great saving to the patrons of
the schools in this State. This
exchange feature Of the new
contract is good until March j =,
1917.
