OF vast Importance to the war
ring nations. This new line,
planned and constructed Just previous
to the war. when Russia's interest
reached out beyond southern Trans.
caucasia into the northern parts of the
weakening and wildly-governed terri
tories of the shah. is described in a
bulletin Of the National Geographic So
ciety. AS roads in Transcaucasia are
built upon the Spanish principle of
keeping people off of them, this line
OF track has most important bearing
upon the maintenance of order at the
boundary.
There are two routes from Europe
to Teheran. One through Russia to
Baku, the oil city on the Caspian,
thence by steamer to Resht, and. final.
ly, by road to the Persian capital, a
road built and kept up by Russia. This
route is the older route. The second
way, made possible by railway con.
struction through southern Transcau-
casia, is the product of recent Russian
labors. The traveller by this route sets
out from Tiflis. the capital of the eau.
casus, takes train south over Alex
andropol and Erivan. thence to Max.
hitchevan. the first city founded by
Noah after abandoning the ark upon
neighboring Ararat. and. passing down
the valley of the Araxes, where the
Armenians place Eden, he passes the
international boundary at Djulfa. From
here the traveller goes by another Rus
sian road to Tabriz.

"The rivers and harbors bill,

one of his western speeches, sis

expert examination to determine
what expenditures are needed"
Here again the Republican candi-

ations of the rivers and harbors bill

United States army engineers after

But perhaps the candidate does not

GOOD RECORD ON SUFFRAGE

President Wilson was the first
President to cast vote for woman
suffrage.
HE wrote the plank in the Demo
cratic platform recommending the
States to give women the vote.
HE has declared that he would en-.
deavor to make the suffrage plank
effectual by every influence that he
can properly and legitimately exer.
else.
Largely as result of his attitude
the Democratic party In South Da.
kota and West Virginia, the two
states where the question comes VI
this year, has declared unequivocally
in favor of equal suffrage. (The Re
publicans in these states have done
| likewise.)
During President Wilson's admin.
istration vote on the nationwide
suffrage amendment was obtained In
the house for the first time, and In
the Senate for the first time in TWEEN
ty-five years. 1t obtained a majority
in the Senate.
President Wilson says that he
hopes to keep an open mind on the
question of a Federal amendment
and he has shown in other matters
that he is not afraid to change his
position. "-Woman's Journal and
Suffrage News of Boston.

$4,000 FOR A NOMINATION

Mr.. Herrick, ambassador to France
under President Taft, who secured
the Republican primary nomination
for United States Senator in Ohio,
filed his statement with the Secretary
of State at Columbus, showing that
he had personally spent $22,175 in
the primary. The Herrick Voters
League in their statement admitted
to having spent $4,000, or total OF
$51,175. This is just $6,175 more
than the senatorial salary for the full
term of six years, should Mr.. Her
rick be elected.
This is the same Herrick against
whose retirement from the diplomatic
service Mr.. Hughes protested. II one
Republican senatorial candidate is
willing to spend such sum in the
primaries, how much will the whole
Republican party spend in the cleo
ton?

THE ELEPHANT HAS GONE

The word Circus according to
Webster, has but narrow and in
significant meaning; to the young
sters 1t means big sights-at least 33
wonders Of the woodland lots OF
fun. 1t is day Of days.
Very few grown-ups, of course, en-
joy circus day; but they have to take
in the show in order to care for the
children! Isn't it astonishing how
many grown-ups are required to take
a few kids to the circus? But, bosh,
who ever heard of anybody writing
anything original about circus?
Gollmar Brothers exhibited here as
per advertisements, Thursday, Octo-
Der 5, and measured up to the usual
standard in every particular. Liberal
has an extensive area to draw from,
and the circus of Gollmar Bros. was
filled during all performances, to its
utmost capacity. When there is an
attraction of any kind in Liberal, peo-
pie seem to swarm from the four
corners of the earth. The streets
were crowded in the forenoon to wit
ness the street parade, and sway to
the tune Of the calliopes.
Gollmar Brothers have a large,
clean show. They have visited our
city on several occasions, and that
they are always welcome visitors is
amply proved by the thousands who
pay admission to their performances.
