ing no great gains and no serious de-
fic:encies. In Industrial circles no no.
ticeable cessation of action can be OBJ
served. The steel trade is still run
ming at practically top speed. and
Profits of the big steel corporation are
reported at the marvellous rate of 80
per cent for the last quarter. OF
course such abnormal results cannot
last, and it is worthy of note that this
unexampled prosperity has not been
made the basis of any speculative
orgies, such as was the former Gus
tom. So much for tne better stand
Fards of conduct which prevail in Wall
Street than formerly. Railroad earn
i1gs abundantly prove trade activity
June reports indicated an increase of
20 per cent over last yea-.' and this
rate promises to continue during July
While a portion of this increase is at
tributable to better rates, the larger
volume of traffic is the main and most
elcome factor. The question of big
railroad strike must soon be decided,
az. the men ara now voting upon the
question of giving their leaders the
right to order a strike to enforce their
demands. The seriousness of the sit
uation is so great that every effort
will be made to avert so grave a public
inconvenience. President Wilson has
been asked to interfere. and hope re-
mains that sober second thought on
both sides will prevent a rupture.
Nevertheless this issue will be an i'm
portant factor in the early future.

So lengthy were the ballots used at
the recent primary in Texas that they

probabilities are that there are not a
dozen voters in Texas who were even
reasonably familiar with more than

ON SPUR OF
THE MOMENT
BY ROY X. MOULTON

The Circus Is Coming.
Soon comes the day of the sawdust ring, 3
The old folks all have to go
And see the show,
So as to chaperon the kids:
Outside of that, their age forDids
Don't say them nay, 1t is no use;
They'll go and borrow an excuse .,s
In shape of some near neighbors child.
The world has smiled
For years and years at silly clowns;
The ups and downs
OF mighty acrobats have thrilled.
Year after year the tents are filled.
They pay their hard-earned dough to see
The freaks perform, IN highest giee
1t isn't possible to pass
The gentleman who eats the glass
The living skeleton, they say,
Neer grows passe.
The girl with snakes about her form
Is sure to take the crowd by storm
The rubber skinned man snaps MS nlde
And sells his photos far and wide
The gaping crowd will stand and stare
At toothless lions In their lair
The elephant will stand and eat
Peanuts and shift poledriver feet.
The chariots, drawn by horse power.
And mighty crowds will gaze In awe.
The greatest thing they. ever saw:
of course, they've seen it all before
In days of yore.
Some institutions pass away
And quickly fail,
The circus, though, has come TO stay,
1t ne'er grows stale
Things That Make Life Worth While.

a seventeen shirt.

Getting a pretty vacation folder

Having the beer wagon stop in

The Summer Romance.
Oh where are the lovers of yesterday,
Who strolled along the beachf
He had the grace Of D'Orsay-
She was lustrous peach.
He was a foreign count. he said,
She was rich mans daughter.
1t was enough to turn her head
The way this Apollo sought her.
He wooed and he won her heart and hand.
Back in the pale moonlight;
They plighted their troth-it was simply
An evening of rare delight.
Twas an act of kindly Providence
Naught else was this happy meeting;
But neither of them seemed TO have the
To know the other was cheating.
Where is the romance of yesterday?
1t passes beyond the ken:
She's back singing hash in a punk cafe,
And he's selling ribbon again.

REPUBLICANS SPENDING LOTS
OF MONEY IN MIDDLE WEST
TO BEAT WILSON.

The Republicans have reached the
dress rehearsal stage of their assault
upon the Democratic administration
The first and most important feature
OF their campaign is money.
The very character of the under
takings outlined by the Republican
party leaders in the Middle West
points to most lavish expenditure of
money in the effort to discredit the
president before the voters of the
Middle Western states.
Mark Hanna "a Piker."
The Democratic leaders who do
not believe that money will prove as
potential in buying the judgment of
the citizens of the country as it has
been in the past. charge that the Re-
publican war chest is so great as to
make the late Mark Hanna appear
like "piker."
The bulk of the Republican money
is to be acknowledgements for
Legitimate campaign eXpenses"--in
Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska,
Wisconsin, Kentucky, West Virginia
and Illinois.
The Democratic managers have?
considerable evidence that ex-
perts in the art of placing politi-
cal money where it will do the
most gOod-and in eluding de-
tection-have been called into
service by the G. o. p.
These men are scheduled to
| contribute the under surface fea-
lures of the campaign, while Mr..
Hughes and other "highbrow"
orators will provide the ethics
of it.
1t is the Democratic belief that this
campaign of the Republicans is des-
tined to failure. They do not believe
that the great bulk of the progressive
and Independent voters of the So
called doubtful states will prove
susceptible to the influence of money.
1t is the Independent voter who is
receiving the most attention from
both parties. The managers of the
campaigns of the two Western organ
izations appear to have a much clear
er idea of conditions which prevail in
the states which are popularity viewed
as uncertain than have the Eastern
leaders.

L A Dor LEGISLATION -
PROMISES AND PER
FORMANCES.

Thus, the workers have before
them the platform declarations of
the Republican, Democratic, and
Progressive parties upon the sub
jects which most directly affect
them. Now, the workers must
make up their minds as to which
of these political parties is most
likely, if intrusted with power, to
carry their declarations into effect,
and to the adequacy of the re-
Spouse which each party made to
labor's demands. For 80 years
wage earners had vainly endeav-
Ored to secure the amendment of
the Sherman antitrust law, so as
to place voluntary organizations of
toilers outside the pale of antitrust
legislation that they should not be
regarded in the same category as
trusts and organizations for profit.
For 80 years organized labor had
been vainly knocking at the door
of congress to secure relief from
the injunction abuse and to have
restored the right of trial by jury
in contempt cases. For 80 years
the workers of America had vainly
asked congress to relieve the sea-
men from the position of bondmen,
and all this occurred under the
domination of congress and the
presidency by the Republican par
ty. The Democratic congress

THE PRESIDENTS INTER-
NATIONAL POLICY.

In the crisis he faced the presi-
dent should have had the hearty
support of every man, woman and
child in America. For it devel-
oped that Mr.. Wilson pursued ex-
actly the right course. Any other
attitude of the president would
have plunged us either into war or
prolonged the submarine contro-
versy. No cater what other con-
struction may be put, say that
Germany's answer was an open ad-
mission that Wilson was not only
right, but fair. Another president
might have gone to war with Ger
many, without sending any kind of
note. And we all ought to thank
