BIG CIRCUS SHOW
COMING TO TOWN

Cole Bros Void Toured Shows
and Wild Animal Exhibit will be here
for two performances on Thursday,
April 26.
This morning brought in advertising
Car No. 2. of Cole Bros Void Toured
shows with Josh Billings as manager,
with crew OF twenty billposters, lith-
agraphers, bannermen and program
ers. Mr.. Billings and his men are
hard at work to give the appearance
OF the show here all the publicity
possible. They do not only post bills
on all available spaces in town, place
Autographs in windows of business
houses. and banners of all sizes and
pictorial designs on wood and brick
walls. but men are sent out on routes
in the country in all directions from
the city for from twenty 10 thirty
miles.
This famous show with its two long
trains of all steel cars, the only show
in the world travelling in all steel cars,
gives n varied program of two hours,
consisting of wild and domestic ami
NAL acts interviewer with dozens OF
high class European and American
arenic acts. Twenty funny, foolish
clowns under the leadership OF
Happy" Charley Post keep the audi.
ence in good humor throughout the
long program.
The performance will be presented
in three rings. a stage, and large
steel arena. There will only be one
Cole Bros show day this season and
on that day plenty of instructive and
amusing features will be found and
for once il must be conceded that at
least one show not only exhibits all
it advertises but ten times more.
J. c. Tracy the veteran show agent,
was in the city some ten days ago
and made all contracts and arrange

of people fighting the most powerful
nation OF the earth. with almcs. Ger.
tain defet ahead. and with the loss
of many of those poor little lives.
Yes; the question hung before the
American people then. rs it hangs
now whether the right to rule our.
selves. whether the right OF liberty of
action which we are fighting for on
the high seas today. whether the
rights recognized by the world,
should be sustained by the death of
some of our citizens.
Is there a man here today who re.
grets that war; is there a man here
today who would say that that was a
barbarous and an inhuman war DO
you think today that if one of those
gallant soldiers who died to give us
the extraordinary liberty that the
people of this country enjoy could
speak he would say, 81 regret that |
died on the field of battle for the
cause that then existed?" Do you
think that If there were n mother liv.
| ing today who gave her boy in that
cause, she would stand here and say
THAT was a brutal and inhuman war
l regret that war. | regret that
| ever gave my son to it," Oh, think
not. | do not believe the opponents
of this resolution think so. Why. the
very glory of this country dates from
that grand achievement. 1t dates
from the great vision of those mer
! and the glory and the sacrifice of the
women of that age.
| Here we stand today, not mere
handful of people. but the most pow,
erful nation in all the world: u ma,
ton that is recognized today as the
most powerful and enlightened gov.
eminent of the world, and we are
asked what? We are asked to sub,
nit; we are asked TO surrender with.
out n fight; we are asked to give up
the rights for which our forefathers
have fought. Why? Because some
one must suffer. Because some life
will pass out. Surrender this right,
an dthe next right will be demanded
of us, an dthen each and every right
will be demanded from us, until there
will be no rights essential TO a free
people. 1t has been the history of
the world, and fear it will be the
history of many years TO come that
no nation that was afraid to die fol-
| its rights ever maintained those
rights.
We all love :eace. We all hope
that the time IL coming when the
! great international questions, when
thoese questions OF human right, can
be decided without the arbitrament
of war. But it is useless. it is sense
less, to say that that time has ar
rived. Why, look at the war that i!

FAVORING RESOLUTION
CONTINUED From Page one)

country" All OF that has been done.
Why, the president of the United
States made an effort to draw all the
neutral countries of the world to.
gethcr for the purpose OF appealing to
those warning countries to ascertain
if there was basis upon which peace
could be considcred-not the terms
of peace. but just the basis upon
which peace could be considered. In
answer to that, one of the great war
ing groups suited unequiyocally that
there was nothing to arbitrate; that
the thing they were fighting for was
not the subject of arbitration; that
one one side they were fighting for
Prussianism. and on the other side
they were fighting for democracy.
and that those questions could not be
arbitrated.
Again, they come to us and say,
delay this matter; put ii of longer
while the murder goes on, so that we
may have referendum among the
people of this country" / do not
knew whether the distinguished sen.
ator from Wisconsin, (Mr. LaFol-
lettc) knows what the people of his
state think; but know what the peo-
pie fmy state think, because they
have spoken through their legislature
unequivocally in favor of every de-
claration that the president of the
United States has made, and, in adj
dition to that. they have pledged every
resource TO that state, both men and
money. TO the full limit to carry out
any policy he may propose or any de.
claration he may make.
What else Is there TO do What
else can wo do? "Ah, but they say,
do not slaughter thousands of young
men in this country. DO not leave
the widows out in the little homes
to take care Of the orphans"
God knows that that is n picture
that appeals to any man with heart
That Is n picture that no man wishes
to hold before him. But | would
rather that we lose few hundred
thousand men, II necessary, in n few
months OF war in cooperation with
the allies at the present time, than to
lose millions of men in war that we
alone might have TO fight. We have
got to fight Germany. We will either
fight Germany in cooperation with
the allies or We will fight Germany
alone. II we can not conquer Ger.
many now In cooperation with the
allies. then Germany will soon con.
qucr us.
I toll you. we can not disguise the
fact that that battle is hanging in the
scale. We realize today that the
result in Russia may he the result of
the war. II Is too late for us to back
out ftho fight since the very flrst
moment that this democratic country
opposed the Prussianism OF the
kaiser. DO not think for one moment
that by cowardly surrondcring at
this time we would make ourselves
immune from the inhuman wrath Of
that militant power.
What did Belgium do7 Belgium
has not done half what this country
has already done TO anger Germany.

existence harmed any country in the
world. n peaceful, friendly people. n
people on the very best possible terms
with Germans-have been treated as
slaves; have been murdered: have
been tortured; have been treated as

barous times. And why? Was lit be-
cause of any great wrong that Bel
/ GUM did to Germany? 90. no. 1t
was because little Belgium had the
honor and the grayery TO attempt to
protect its rights against an inevitable
defeat. And for that the German
hatre dhas continually vented itself,
not only on the soldiers but on the
I non-combatants, on the women and
children and the old people.
Do you tell me that you can carry
favor with a government of that
character and kind? Tell me that to-
day. by submission by surrending our
rights, by acting the coward. by
kneeling and GROWING to the Ger
man empire. we can gain their friend.
ship Why, 1t is just as certain as
| that the day follows the night that
If Germany wins the war that is go.
ing on there now we will suffer as
Belgiums suffered. Yes; we will suffer
a hundred thousand times more than
Belgium has ever suffered.
We are faced with this condition
now, both from a physical and from
political standpoint. that Prussian
ism must be stamped out in the world
forever or democracy will be. Prus

and there must arise in its stead a

TO say it in all seriousness, that | be,

that irrespective of the political stu

ciples involved; that nations do have
principles; that nations do have what
we call honor; that those principles
an dthat honor are the very soul OF
that nation and when those are de
stroyed the nation ceases to exist.
We remember the history just a
short time back. We remember when
this country was little colony of a
few million people. Then there was
imposition upon the people of this
country, not greater than the imposi-
ton that is being practiccd upon our
people today-no; not half as great
Then they imposed upon us and took
away from us the liberties to which
we were entitled; and today the Ger
man gocernment is taking away the
lives of our citizens. There were PEG.

as these distinguished senator's op

So keen is the interest in Dan
OLeary's 1O0-mile walk, to be held
June 80 and July 1 at Forest park,
that policemen, fremen and letter
carriers have asked that a race be
put on for them as a sort of side
show to the main event. Mr.. OLeary
has agreed to this and has, more
over, agreed to hang up three med
ais, a gold, a silver and a bronze for
the first three to finish. The only
stipulation is that the entrants use
the heeI-and-toe method for the
three miles, which has been decided
upon as the distance.
Twenty policemen protected Um-
pire Byron in St. Louis yesterday.
Pres. Hickey of the Cardinals has
wired Pres. Tener of league asking
him to keep Byron away from st.

Mays paused Yanks with three
hits and Red Sox split series. Baker
