THE DEAR OLD CIRCUS.
editor New York American

The dear old circusl What food of
"reminiscences they bring to the grown
up, What a world of wonderment to the
Kid at his side in the street, as they
both gaze at the pictured pageantry Of
hippodrome and the menagere as pic
tured on the neighborhood barn. And
indeed we feel sorry for that grown-up
too old or callous or embittered to him
self, forgotten when he himself was a
child; or if he finds no joy in the fact
that the youngsters of his town and
country are to know the thrill, the faith
omless child wonder that comes to them
only on the day when the red wagons
arrive; and the big elephants and the
funny old clowns, the trumpeting bands
and the footing steam ealliopes.
A persons taste may be educated to
the point when the most classical music
is appreciated in the symphony concert,
an eagerly appreciated treat, the grand
opera delight. But it is doubtful if
any of these really stir the heart to that
rapture inspired by the first lusty note
as the calliope in the days gone by, when
every little urchin WED in being up early
on the morning of circus day to carry
water for the elephant for admission to
fairyland
Were there ever such wonderful little
ponies, such bespangled girls, such be-
wildering funny clowns? That man is
old indeed, whose heart does not wax to

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN ON ENEMIES
OF OUR COUNTRY
Address Delivered Illinois Ratification Rally Springfield
June Is, 1919

My friends, l believe we are putting
on the battlefield today the greatest
fighting machine that the world has
ever known. (Applause.) And why
not? We have put more into the
average man in this country than was
ever put into the average man in any
other country in the world, and our
soldiers are more than average men.
They are selected men from the ave-
rage of the United States. We have
not only put more into the average
man but we have put more before him
than was ever put before any other
average man. And if we have put
more into him and place before him
more of hope, OF opportunity and of
aspiration, he would disappoint us if
he was not the best soldier in the
world. But even an American soldier
is only at his best when his conduct
is at its highest; and we are putting
onto the battlefield the best soldiers
ever known because we are sending
into this war the cleanest lot of men
who ever carried a musket or faced a
cannon, and we are surrounding them
with an atmosphere and with an en-
vironment that strengthens them. Gap
plause.) l want to say to you-you
mothers whose boys have offered their
lives in their country's defensc-I
want to tell you that you are fortu-
nate to have two men at the head of
the War and the Navy Departments
like Baker and Daniels to look after
the morals of the boys (applause) and
fortunate to have back of Baker and
Daniels President who considers
morals as we'll as physical strength.
(Applause.)
But my friends, we cannot ignore
the fact that there are those in this
country who are trying to sap the
strength of our men, and we cannot
afford to allow them to take away the
strength from those who produce
food and ammunition any more than
we can allow them to sap the strength
of those who are on the battle front.
| A few Sundays ago | spoke in Ro-
chester, n. Y, and there an audience
nearly as large as this by rising vote
asked the President to put dry zone
burbs of Rochester, and in that petit
ton they stated that four saloons had
been planted at the gate of that avia-
ton camp. Why, if any man needs to
have brain that is clear and nerves
that are steady, it is the man who
takes perilous flight in an aeroplane.

plane. He showed that it had been
cut in two and then the ends joined
with lead and then it had been painted
over and put back on the aeroplane.

will shoot him to death, as they ought
to shoot him to death. (Applause)
But, my friends, is the man who
plants saloon at the gate OF that
camp and for pay would try to weak
en- the boy where there ought to be
Strengths that man any less an en-
envy than the German spy who would
tamper with the brace? l venture to
say that the man is more important
than the machine and a man who
would weaken the strength of a man
in charge of a machine cannot be a
friend of our country any more than
the German spy is when he tries to
destroy the value of the machine it
self.
My friends, just one boy has died
in disgrace abroad and he died be-
cause he was under the influence of
liquor when he assaulted and killed a
little French girl seven years old.
They hung him and the government
at Washington said they did right
that they could not afford to allow
the French people to think that a
crime like that would meet less than
the severest punishment. Yes, they
hung him and that boy who went over
there to die patriot died in disgrace
upon the gallows because somebody

his blood run mad. Yes, they hung
the victim, but the man who furnished
the liquor still lives to make more
criminals. Our determination is not to
stop with the punishment OF the poor
victim but to reach the man higher
up and close the crime factories in
our land. (Applause.) And if this
war can but make our people under
stand the evil in intemperance, if in
our hour of stress and strain we can
but understand what this poison has
meant to our country, then, my
friends. we will have an offsetting adj
vantage that will, to some extent
compensate for its expense in money
and in suffering.

WAR STAMPS PURCHASED;
BOOZE GOES BY BOARD
Lesson Given by Man Who Quits
Booze for His Country While
Strange Arguments Come From
Strange Places for Beer

The drive for war stamps over tn,
nation not only is meeting with graft
lying results but there are incidents
reported which carry great lessons tt
the people. Columbus, Ohio, contrib
utes one of those incidents which no
only reveals the individual case OF de
voted loyalty but has a signihcanc,
that might prove interesting and per
haps valuable TO even such of thu
shipping board who still boost booze
The Ohio State Journal covers tht
incident with the following editorial
How He Will Pay
When a man, who has signed
up for 81 900 in war stamps, was
asked how he was going to get
the money to pay for them, for it
was known that he was not well
favored with this worlds goods,
he answered that he was going 10
cut out the booze. That will do
it. Wealth would push poverty
off the boards in many places if
it we're not for booze, All our
laws should encourage the blast
ing of booze. And all forms of
public authority should be ar
rayed against it. Men who favor
it for revenue purposes are blind
as bats. Here is man who turns
his back on booze TO get money
TO lend to the government, The
people have to pay for the booze
more than all the revenue they
get from that source. All these
excuses for the continuance of
the liquor traffic are the products
of the tipsy mind, which is so
often noted in high places OF
trade and authority.
