BARNUM & BAILEY
CIRCUS IN WILMINGTON
To Give Performances May
18th

There is to be a real circus day
this year-a Barnum & Bailey cir
Gus day. Advance guards of the
Greatest Show on Earth announce
that this seasons route carries 1t
close enough to be visited by every
body in this vicinity. Thirty acres
of tents will be set, and the big
show will be exhibited in Whining
ton, on May ID.
A wonderful new program is
promised, and it is claimed that
this season the monster entertain
ment has more and better things
TO show than ever before. Start
ing with magnificent pageant en-
titled, aladdin and His Wonder
full Lamp" the circus will occupy
three hours or more with events in
air, on platform, and rings, and in
the huge hippodrome surrounding.
Not one moment will be lost in all
of the spaces of the vast enclosure
The opening feature is the first
attempt at Chinese pageantry in
the history of American circuses,
and it has been described as the
most gorgeous presentation ever
attempted. The story of the genie
slave of the magic lamp is too wei
known to need description here
However, it may be we'll to call at
tention to the possibilities for dis
play in coloring and magnificent
settings in the Chinese locale, ant
to the fact that Barnum & Bale,
have spent S1,000,000 to reproduce
all of its glorious possibilities.
The circus program, which fol
lows the pageant, is made up al
most entirely of names and act
new to the American public, tn

gifts from the faculty of the Wo-

extend their appreciation to all
these kind friends.

Colonel Rooseyelt,s Refusal.

The refusal of Colonel Roosevelt to be
a candidate or accept the nomination for
governor of New York squares with the
obligation he owes to all his eountrymen
and most of all TO those among them
who have gone to the eolors, afeld and
ahoat The position Of governor is one
whose power and usefulness he well UNI
derstands, Because he does misappraise
its consequence to the country he is I'M
willing to see the position held by one
who is not both fit and free to give his
thought and time to the discharge Of
its duties. He is fit enough, as the rec
ord shows, and would make great war
governor, but he is not free because his
whole heart is in the war and the whole
country stands in constant need of his
counsel and criticism, his experience and
his experiences, and over and above all,
his example in all the relationships of
life in war time.
1t is desirable that the state of New
York shall have for the next two years
a war governor who is loyal, competent
and unafraid of his Job. But our man
power has not dwindled so suddenly that
the nation must sacrifice its own best
interests in behalf Of any state. Were
Colonel Roosevelt to be eonscripted as a
nominee for either House of Congress,
his course in the premises might be more
difficult to decide. Certainly, however,
he must not lend himself to any party
in any state as political pulmotor at
this time 1t would have pleased the ma
tion and our allies had he been allowed
to lead to France last year his four sons
and the volunteer force which was ready
to rally behind his sword. When that
privilege was denied him however, he
did not sulk in his tent, and to-day he
personalities more than any other Amer
lean in private life and to many millions
more than any American anywhere the
meaning Of the war as it comes home to
the families, rich and poor alike, of those
who are fighting to make the world safe.
He is therefore a national asset Of the
highest value and his leadership cannot
be loaned to any state, even lbs own

TALK OF THE TOWN

Mr.. and Mrs. James Stephen Of Madi.

Old Orchard, Me, New Haven, Conn, and
Quincy, Mass.
Hammond Douglass, who was formerly
employed in Barre as graniteeitter, ar
rived in the city yesterday from Squan-
tum, Mass, to pass a vacation of a week.
Frank G.. Rogers, the express man, re-
ceived serious injury yesterday while
unloading freight at the Central Yer.
mont station. Mr. Rogers was trans.
ferring barrels of sugar to his auto
truck when one Of the stakes on the
deck of the car struck him in the fore
head. The blow rendered him momen-
tarily unconscious, but employees in the
freight Office used reStoratives and later
he was able to drive the car home. His
condition was improved to-day.

town gulf In their travels this season are
wont to remark upon the earelessness
of picnic parties who neglect to remove
odd scraps of paper, lunch boxes, etc,
after their outing. Most OF the pic
nickers halt near the site of the old
Spring house and the accumulation of
wastepaper left by them has not added
to the beauty Of the gulf, Ii has been
suggested that parties tarrying in the
gulf for luncheon would do well to pre-.
serve the attractiveness of the big ra-
vine by burning the paper before they
leave.
Dellie Merlo has received from taxi
dermist in Glover the two.headed calf
which attracted attention In Barre last
spring when an east hill farmer brought
the bovine prodigy to the city to sell.
The calf is mounted on mahogany
pedestal, and people who have had ex-
perience with taxidermists say that the
man in Glover did fine thing when he
took the little Holstein and converted it
into a lifelike figure. The pose of the
calf as it left the taxidermist's shop is
so convincingly Hfelike that folks who
have inspected the work are prone to be-
lieve that portion of oats placed under
its nose would bring the bovine to life

AS no soldier can live without food,
every bushel of wheat is the actual
equivalent of fighting unit. The moral
is clear. We must supply soldiers. But
it is useless to supply the fighters them.

WANTS cox CASE ADVANCED.
Counsel Seeks to Settle Issue of Draft
Service Outside Country.

AS counsel for Robert Cox, drafted
last June. Hannis Taylor yesterday
moved that the Cox case be advanced
for argument in the United States Su-
preme Court.
The title of the case is COX VS. Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood" The purpose OF
the motion is to settle the question of
whether Cox may be drafted for serv-
Ice beyond the borders Of the country.
This question was not involved in pre-
vious cases testing the draft law.
Cox declared his willingness to serve
in this country, but asked Judge Pol
lock of the United States district court
for the western district of Missouri. for
writ of habeas corpus. The court de-
MED the application and an appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court
The motion made by Counsel Taylor
was forced by the notice served by the
Attorney General that a motion on his
part to dismiss or affirm" the Cox case
on the ground that the Supreme Court
had preJudged and foreclosed in adj
vance of a hearing.
