course. there is very great activity
among those who are promoting
it, and among these can be found
the agents who will reap a rich
reward in the collection of such an
immense fund by its recipients.
What is the attitude OF the Repre-
sentatives who favor the bonus?
They don't believe that 1t is nee
essary as a relief to the proposed
Ibeneficiaries, for there is no show
ing of that kind. They say that it
is a readjustment of the compensa-
zion in view of the amount which
was earned by those who did not go
into the war during the same pc
riod. But no one contends that the
amount proposed will make up that
difference. To attempt to do so will
Ibe utterly impossible, because the
difference is so great the present
provision will be but a drop in the
bucket. The bonus will dull the
fine edge of the patriotic service by
these men, of whom in their rem
ldering that service we are so proud.
Fear Public Opinion.
Why, then. do Representatives
favor it? The attitude of many
Representatives is that they are
purely representative and that they
should respond to the wishes of
their constituents. In this way they
easily reach the conclusion that it
is their dot tn support any measure
a vote against which would impair
their chances of reelection. The
measure the rejection of which
would be so unpopular as to defeat
their return must be a measure of
which their constituents approve
and for which it is their duty to
vote. Others are Influenced by the
fact that it is the duty of a party
to respond to the wish of a majority
of the electorate. and therefore IL
the failure of the party in Congress
to pass this measure would defeat
the party at the polls, 1t is the duty
of the party and all Us members in
Congress to vote for it. Our rep
resentatives in Congress cannot es-
cape their responsibility for the ex-
ercise of proper discretion in de-
Gliding whether measures affecting
the country should be adopted or
not by putting the responsibility on
their constituents. They are Sc
lected because they are intelligent
and have a more detailed knowl-
edge of the situation than their
constituents possibly can have.
They are especially and minutely
advised OF the enormous difficulties
under which the government is now
laboring and of the absolute neces-
sity for the strictest economy. They
are in a far better position to COM
pare the need for the expenditure
of the bonus or lack of it, with the
enormous disadvantage to the whole
country in borrowing money to pay
ii. They don't know that q ma
jority of their constituents desire

Father. mother and the kiddies
all went out to see the big show
come in yesterday. Thousands Of
Washington folks watched the cir
Gus tents go swaying up and gaily
painted wagons rocking by with
eargoes of jungle animals like col
ored pictures cut from a nursery
book.
At sunrise yesterday the 'fiying
squad of the circus arrived and a
couple of hours later the army Of
show people came in.
Quaint animals abound in the big
show. There is a cross-eyed tiger.
Also a baby kangaroo. VINO dis
plays his big shy eyes or the tip of
his tiny tail from his mothers
Rouch- And il you don't look out.
Mary" the giraffe, will lean her
ten feet of dappIed fawn neck over
her inclosure and impress a damp
kiss on your nose.
But Sammy is the deepdyed viii
lain OF the animals. He is a little ele-
phant with a wicked eye and a most
unelephantine sense of humor They
park him in front of the other for
ty-one well-behaved elephants SO
that he can't annoy them. He used
to be permitted to stand beside lit
tie Hazel, the pachyderm ingenue,
but he habitually stepped on HazeTs
feet with an unconscious air and
made her scream with rage. Yes
terday, after much ingenious wig
Cling, he slipped his foot out of its
chain. Just as he was shimmying
with Joy his keeper fastened him up
again and received in reward a neat
little slap from Sammy's handy
trunk
After they provided a home for the
eats" the doctors tent was pitched
promptly. Here DR.. Shields, the cir
Gus physician is ready to take care
of any and all kinds of accidents or
illness from a tummy- ache to a ma
jor operation Yesterday he only
had to look after one little lad who
was so busy looking at the ele-
plants that he didn't notice a tent
rope and accumulated a bloody nose
and a bruised elbow.
