Monster Circus To BE Drawn u
Powerful Motor Trucks.

What promises to revOlutiOnHe the
Circus World that has been the chief
delight of boys and girls and the
grOWn-ups ever since the days of
Adam and Eve will be the utilization
of the Motor Truck and Automoblle.
The new United States Million Dollar
Circus Corporation has recently been
formed to exploit a complete brand
new Circus entertainment, eQulpping
the mighty Circus in an entirely new
magnificent dress, that will start on
it's initial tour this spring and sum-
mer, from New York City, utilizing a
fleet of one hundred and thirty power
full motor trucks besides large
number of pleasure cars, using the
natural highways for the tour, ard
eliminating entirely the use of rail-
roads.
The United States Circus Corpora
tiOn is the first concern in the amuse
ment field to adopt twentieth century
methods, which will no doubt be
distinct revelation. These Motor
Auto Trucks range from two to three
tons in weight and are equivalent to
a regulation one hundred Circus car
show. Every piece of Circus prop
erty including the advance depart
ment will be transported by motor
autos manufactured especially for
this monarch of Circuses. No longer
will the small boy go to his bed and
have his mind centered on the H l.
road yards waiting for the dawn II Of

in and unload it's paraphernalia 1t

villa seems to be keeping lap
ahead of the pursuing American forces
which are now far down into MEXICO
and his capture is as much OF prop
lem to be solved as when the expedl-
ton first crossed the boundary. II any
reliance can be placed in reports emil
mating from the border the MeXlcans
are showing a disposition to resent the
invasion of their soil, although that
invasion is only a temporary eXpedleht
and made for a single, stated purpose.
A clash with the Caranza forces is not
improbable any day considering the
tension prevailing. That would be I'M
fortunate in the extreme, but not more
unfortunate than the withdrawal OF
the American troops without accom-
plishing the object they set out to ac-
complish. Such action would be looked
upon by the Mexicans as timidity, and
would invite a repetition of the Column
bia horror.

There is another blot on the escut-
cheon of the state democratic admins
|tration with the discovery and expos
ure of discrepancies in the expense
vouchers filed by Floyd l.. Daggett,
member of the state industrial insur-
ance commission. Mr.. Daggett's eX-
pense record has been Investigated by
State Auditor Clausen, and the exam
ination was instigated by charges pub
lished in Seattle weekly paper. The
|peculations, if excessive expense bills
presented to and paid out of the public
treasury can be classed as peculations,
lare not great in the aggregate, and Mr..
Daggett may not be guilty of inten-
tional wrong doing, but the evidence
seems convincing that he did draw
money for expenses that were not in
cured and that action is of such a
suspicious nature that Mr.. Daggett's
usefulness as a public official is at an
end. The wide publicity given the eX-
posture will leave an unfavorable i'm
preston with the public that no expla-
nation can wholly eradicate. About the
only course left open for Mr.. Daggett
is to resign, after making such expla-
nation and restitution as is in his
power

CALLING 4 BLUFF.

The most amusing thing in this state
adjoining county 1t is filled with the
unconscious humOr of rank ignorance,
and it's befuddled attempts to defend
the present democratic state admins
|tratiOn are the most eXcruating exam
pies of inanity ever printed. In a re-
cent issue this innocent editorial COM
edian said, referring to the repub-
licans: mo stone will be left unturned,
or trick too mean, to retire Governor
Lister and put one of their tools in his
place, so that their work of looting
may proceed again. This certainly
should bring laugh from every
reader in view of what recently hap
pened to the industrial insurance
funds. These funds were looted be-
cause of lack of proper supervision.
Governor Listers commission grossly
neglected it's duty while playing poll
tics about the state, following the ex-
ample of their chief.
Another delightful and illogical alb
surdity in the same article again re-
ferring to the republicans, reads thus
ly: This pack had so burdened the
state with ures-henchmen- in
office which had so added to the bur-
dens of taxation that it had to come
to the straining point and the state was
getting bad reputation" Disregard
ing the original and unique grammatri-
cal construction of this gem of mud
died thought, it is interesting to note
that the number of state employees
has not been decreased during the
present administration. Also that in
the one instance in which departments
were consolidated at Testers request.
a material increase in the cost of adj
ministration resulted instead of the
great saving that Lister promised.
The entire article is filled with sim
liar bits of edifying asininity. jr.
