full that | have survived-the
circus season has arrived! To-
day the first show came to town;
it took three men to hold me
down. For always when the
circus comes, the ancient flood
within me huns. never weary
of its atmosphere and rare de-
lights. | love the grand free
street parade, | love the luke
warm lemoade, the gymnasts,
India-rubber men, the crocodiles
from distant fen, the lovely girls
with dladems composed OF spark
ling plate glass gems. | love the
tigers in their cage, moth eaten
lions in rage, the camels with
their hilly backs, the snakes, the
warthogs and the jaks. love
the wild hyena's yell, | love the
good old circus smell; there's
nothing like that fine rich scent
outside the canvas circuit tent.
The same old fragrance that !
knew in youth, when all my
skies were blue, and | played
hockey that my eyes might see
the tented paradise. And when
/ hear the circus grown, the
mingle groan and roar and howl,
the bark the mutter and the
whine, the same old thrill runs
up my spine.

POOR PATIENT, PAYING PUBLIC!

The Courier would be recreant to its duty to the peo
pe untrue to its mission dssemnator of truth, if it
failed to give the public the facts regard to the conduct
of the affairs vital to them No honestly conducted news
paper welcomes opportunity to crticse the methods of
the local governing authorities Rather delights in CIV
ing to efficient public servants full need for duty we'll per-
formed But newspaper is public servant and owes to
the public certain duties that it must perform if it merits
the confidence of its readers and retains its sefrespect
The Courier feels it to be its duty to speak plainly in
regard to the fal-down of the effort to build graded
road to Index We do not know just who is to blame in
the premises but do know that the attempt lacked in
tegent direction from the beginning that it dragged
from early last year; cost the patient ongsuerng and
muchpayng taxpayers pretty penny and ended in the
complete abandonment of the plan. The matter not
be lightly dismissed bagatele. Even if the cost
of the surveys, approximately $4OOOO all it is not
traing But that is not ALL We pay about ST. 400 each
year into the State road fund land the law makes it
more that goes to the building of roads in other counties
unless we build roads and receive State aid to offset it.
We lose the amount charged against and collected from
for two years, and also, like amount that we were en-
titled to receive from the State making loss of approx
mately $56OO 1t is defense to say didn't lose the
part that due us from the State That by
the asking and is clearly loss debt owed to in
divdua and not collected.
But the loss of the &c. OOO important as that sum is

many things have been attempted in hafheared lackof

YOU doubt it get out and try to interest in some
badly needed Improvement The weary taxpayer will re-

AS the Courier views it there is no good reason why
the Index road should have failed Even if the bunde
of beginning without securing right of way made

PORK BILL CHANGE
HELPS HENRY FORD
Rouge River, Near City of Detroit, to
Be Improved at an Expense of
$4,000.

WASHINGTON. June 27-Supporters
of the SD 000.00O river and harbor bill
have gone tcdiously through perhaps So
1000 Of pork projects with delays by
way of oral opposition, serious and face
tious, that caused Chairman Small Of the
house rivers and harbors committee to
protest One important committee amend
ment was adopted during the day. 1t pro-
vided $3.50, 900 for improvement Of the
Rouge river near Detroit. According to
statements made here and in Detroit it
will enable Henry Ford to fulfill promise
to make farm tractors for from $3.50 to
$500 each. which is far below the present
price The amendment was not seriously
opposed.
\ change was made III the bill that per
mts more money to be spent on Lorain,
Ohio, harbor in order to keep the harbor
open for commerce.
Representatives Madden of Illinois and
Campbell of Kansas amused themselves at
the expense of pork men on one item
that of $4,000 for the Arkansas river.
Campbell declared he had seen more sand
than water in the river. Madden said that
ut least the sand would permit the water
to flow, whereas snags IN the river prevent
it at present There is SlS9,000 available
for work on the Arkansas river. A total
81, $4,000 has been spent on it, Rcprosen-
tative Frear Of Wisconsin, head of the op-
position to the bill declared Excluding
sand and logs he added, there were T., Ia
tons of commerce on the river in 1913
Frear continued his attacks on the large
appropriations fdr the Mississippi, Missouri
