State School Superintendent
Gilbert is the next to show up
what specious and fallacious
brand of promises and puff it
was that Morrow tried to gull
the people with up at Pikeville.
Morrow promised to appoint a
new Schoolbook Commission and
have books selected without fear
or favor and all that sort of stuff.
Gilbert calls his attention to the
fact that the books have now
been adopted for period of five
years, and that if such a calami-
ty as Morrow's election should
happen, he would have no oppor-
tunity during his four years in
Office, of handling the school
book proposition in any shape,
form or fashion. This reminds
us that the Republican conven-
ton that nominated Morrow,
promised the, people an amend
ment to the state constitution,
removing officers who do not
protect prisoners against mobs,
only to find out later that Dem
ocratic legislature had passed a
resolution for such, year or SO
ago. Shades of Daniel Boone.
Such ignorance of public affairs
is hardly to be expected of an or
binary school boy who has passed
his civil government, let alone a
for governor and his
platform builders. And it is with !

Boy Shot With Salt

Frank We1nKe, who has grown
watermelons for several seasons, has
concluded not to grow any more.
This work is strenuous job, watch
watching six acres OF melons from
parties, who think it fine not only
to help themselves, but to plug tha
melons that are not ripe leaving them
to spoil. When Mr. Weinke had q
little hut built, to watch his fruit
during the night, he had a rope in
the field too the hut to warn him
when pilferers were abroad The rope
was found cut. On recent Sunday
he told some customers the latest
piece of meaness, was the burning of
his hut. Now where does the fun
come in, doing such underhand acts?
One boy, we are told, got a dose OF
salt from gun. His mother saw the
salt on his clothing and the lad got
a severe whipping at home, besides
his fright.

showrnen-Wiscon own-in the
American Magazine.
"In recent years 1 have been asked,
continued Mr.. Ringing, whether the
circus will be modernized, whether
the universal use of the automobile
will change it. It will never be chang
ed to any great extent, because men
and women will always long to be
young again. If we desire to change
the people would not permit 1t. SO,
while there are children, the circus
will be clowns, ell ephants and pretty
ladies on horses. We may bring other
charlottesville thrillers, the pomp,
and parades, the amazing feats OF skill
and daring to please others; but with
out clowns, elephants, and pretty lad
les on white horses it would not be the
circus, or the real American amuse-
ment"
Sons of a harness maker in Nc Greg

early learned the advantage or spec

shows in barns,in improvised tents.
An halls, when they were children, Al
trained the younger boys almost as
soon as they learned to walk, espec-
daily in instrumental music. They went
out as concert troupe before some OF
them reached their teens. From the
first it was team work that made them
succeed. Each had his special duties,
but all played in the orchestra, and
while four would play the others would
rush to the stage to do his act.
'"Team work and strict attention to
every detail of the circus business has

and hard work, common honesty, and
a close study of what the public wants
comprise all the trade secrets we have
to reveal. In forty years Ringing brot-
ers never have quarreled except when
they have some fine old brotherly rows
over matters of policy, not one of
which ever left a bad feeling, because
we understood that each was think

all. One thing which we agreed upon
early was that majority rule should
not prevail in all cases. We never be-
lieved that any three should ever force
their dictates upon two. Often If only
one held out for an idea to which the
other four were opposed, we would
argue and try to convince that one
but if he insisted we agreed to try his

him the credit and if it failed we said
nothing about it. We determined from
