ROBINSON SHOW
FRESH AS SPRING
Two Ring Circus Gives Fine
Performance; A Famous
Family of Acrobats.

As fresh as the spring season. the
John Robinson circus gave two good
performances here Saturday afternoon
and night
The circus is Just out Of winter quar-
tiers and Jne costumes were new and
especially attractive. the actors both
animal and human. seemed filled with
the pep Of the new season and the
SOW went with a bang and q snap
which is often lacking in the big shows
late in the season when the performers
are road weary. the costumes weather
worn and the stock exhausted from a
long season of travel
Two Ring Circus
The Robinson circus is q two-ring
show with a platform In the center OF
the hippodrome where the feature acts
are given. There is not so much to be
seen that il cannot all be seen at the
same time and the special features on
the platform are as good as any big
city vaudeville
The famous Nelson family of aero
bats, who have been touring America
with various circus organizations since
the days Of the old Walter L. Main
shows. are the star act OF the Robin
son shows and received the major por-
tion Of the applause from the crowds
Saturday. This family includes the
father mother, four girls and one little.
three-year- boy who mas MS part TO
do in a clown suit The act is remark
able one. in which everyone, even the
little chap. participates. and. when the
oldest girl did her 30 flip-flops on an
elevated platform. the remainder Of
the family turned hand springs on the
stage and the little boy was standing
on his head in n corner; the crowd
yelled itself hOarse.
Trained Monkeys.
The trained monkey ac- In which
monkeys ride bicycles push baby car
riages and do many other almost hu-
man things. also attracted much APP
plause. The trained seals, which play
band instruments and baseball, were
also good as were the troupe Of Japan
csc acrObats, including a diminutive
son Of Nippon.
The horses were especially well
trained and the black tango horse and
his partner. a pure white stallion, were as
good as the famous Roda Royal horses
with the Sells-Floto circus. The band
played well before the show started
and during the performance. the ele-
plants acted as good as elephants are
expected to act and everything about
the show was OF a high standard

SMITH To MAKE

Mexican Border and Other
Public Safety Questions
Hold Him in Washington.

Washington. d. c.. April 1O.-In an
open letter 20 his constituents in the
18th congressional district Of Texas.
congressman w. r. Smith announces
that he will make vigorous campaign
for reelection. but does not yet know,
because Of his congressional duties
when he will be able to begin per
sonal campaign. Congressman Smith,
i'm his letter to the voters, says;
Some weeks ago I announced for re-
election TO congress. Since then / have
received letters from many friends ask
ing II 1 intended to make personal
campaign Of the district. and II so when
1 would begin. Tn answer to such in
uuiries and for the information Of the
people Of tho district generally, j wish
TO say / have no other thought than
that i shall make vigorous campaign:
but when 7 shall be able TO begin VIII
depend upon the question as 10 When
7 may find IL possible to leave my seat
in congress without serious neglect OF
the public business and without ViO-
lence to my sense of public duty.
There has never been time within
nv recollection when the public safety
was beset with so many dangers and
when the public welfare demanded such
constant attention by congress as well
as by the president and administrative
officers The responsibility Tor the
proper nanNllUk OF AANot hAAdAAg AAA
Dortant affairs is primarily and spe-
ciaIly upon the Democratic party which,
in this congress, has in reality but
small margin.
Therefore, IN this crisis. the very
closest sort OF team work under most
compact organization is necessary 70
meet our responsibility TO the country
and to secure the success of our party IN
the coming election.
Mexican Situation Demands Attention.
In addition to these duties common
10 all Democratic members Of con-
rress. have q special obligation rest
ing upon me just now individually. 1
refer TO conditions on the Mexican bor-
der. Dangers are constantly arising
down there menacing the safety and
the lives Of our people and they are
calling upon me almost daily by wire
to perform some service for them look

ouently asked by the administration
authorities to confer with them regard
ing that situation, as I have been IA
miliar with IL so long. In these cir
cunstances 7 must remain on the job,
1 believe my constituents ought and
will approve my doing so. My per
Ronal interest has never been placed

never will be.
We are now moving along rapidly
with our legislative program. and
there is good reason TO hope that the
