WASHINGTON. DC, May 12.--P. T.
Barnum was big, people-loving per-
son. honest according to his light, and
he and his amusement enterprises
were popular in this country years
ago. When he was the guiding spirit
Of "the greatest show on earth" Bar
mum declared the people loved to be
humbugged. He told them he was
humbugging them; but his fantasies
were SO healthy-llke and entertaining,
and witha1 clean. and he gave SO
much In return for the admission fees
collected, that the people were always
glad to see the big show billed for a
temperance
But the small intellect Is unable to
grasp the principle which actuates
great men. 1t sees only the material
so-called success which attends always
the activity of principle. Therefore
it initiates, without knowledge; and
II without principle. then without
honesty. The street carnivals which
have been agitating the press of Me-
vada recently illustrate this often
times. Probably they are not all bad.
but some of them are and they are
all, therefore, in the unenviable pre-
dicament Of the old dog Tray. The
taint Of bad company clings to them
Washington perceiyes one of the In
herent evils of the street show-the
fact of its taking money out of town
and 1t has applied unique remedy
IN the case of the Robinson circus
which Is here this week. Merchants
and manufacturers. and others Of the
employer class, have made some sort
of arrangement with motion-picture
houses, and are giving out passes to
the local showhouses while the circus
is in town. What basis the deal rests
on does not appear, but its ayowed
purpose is to keep the money in
town" by giving working people free
transportation. to the movies. r.
- ssfr r
The travelling circus makes strong
call on the people; there is no doubt
about that. The reason for 1t Is not
so clear. Probably it's romance.
Everybody has seen circuses and it's
so-called success which attend always
alike" 1t is not improbable that the
many stories of boyhood and circus
pranks are the greatest advertising
asset the business has. However that
may be, the present visit of big
show" to the national capital has
made certain demands on the imagi-
nations of legislators. AS the parade
wound down around the Capitol
grounds last Monday, few minutes
before noon. many big boys might
have been seen to hesitate moment
as they were entering the building to
be present at roll-call.

President Harding, it is said, was
sorely tempted to let the circus in
terfere with business. The elephants
were caused to perform special stunts
in the street in front of the White
House, but the President set the cor
rect example to legislators. There
was no regeneration. He stuck to
his desk. 1t is an easy matter to
speak lightly of dignity. Correspond
ents have written much-too much
about Harding's golf sticks. No SEN
sible man would maintain for a mo-
ment that even a President of the
United States can exist and do good
work without outdoor exercise. The
President has the hardest job there
is in Washington-or perhaps any
where else-and no conscientious off,
cial has any soft snap here. But
President Harding is a very human
person, and was once boy. He
would have enjoyed seeing the ele-
plants.

sKYRocKETING COAL PRICES.

A Federal grand jury in Indianapolis
Yesterday returned indictments against
22G coal operators and miners Of six
states. who are charged with having
skyrocketed soft coal prices in the last
three years by restricting production.
A suspicion has existed in many
minds for some time that all was not
right in the coal fields There has been
too much chicanery and humbug, too
much quick boosting Of prices to suit
the publics fancy. II has been notice
able that some operators and miners
at times went out Of their way 70 flgur-

tfons have been similar to those Of the

this we do not mean that the retail

victims Of circumstances, in the ma
iority Of cases. IT goes without saying
that the public, also, has been the vic

stances indeed.
