necessary to create a new symposium! of salary grabbers to do the sameT work. The department could get all of the Information available by sending letters to the United States consuls in the various manufacturing centers of the world, and at little or no cost. No matter what else a tariff commission may do, it will be compelled finally to go to the consuls for the information it seeks. The consuls are commercial representatives of this government; their functions are commercial. This makes them the proper source of such information. The tariff commission idea is not new. Thirty years ago a tariff commission was created and it went all over .the country and took evidence. The commission was composed of able men. They came back to Washington and made a report, recommending reductions in the tariff, and congress immediately made large increases instead of following the advice of the commission. This shows what a tariff commission amounts to. —Senator Shively. SOCIETY DOINGS Will Entertain Her Sunday School Class at Slumber Party. A DINNER PARTY Given by Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

j ARE TRYING TO MIX Republicans Added to Their Perplexity in Support of Crumpacker. THE OLD GUARD Was Again Conspicuous by Their Absence at Committee Meeting. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. B—(Special to Daily Democrat I—The republicans of Indiana added to the perplexity of the voters, if not to their own. when at their recent meeting of can didates and leaders, they decided to support Edgar D. Crumpacker fo' speaker of the house ,of representatives. Thus Senator Beveridge is going to run tor re-election on an insurgent platform and Congressman Crumpacker on a standpat platform. Congressman Crumpacker is by this movement set up as an issue of the campaign, a figure closely rivaling Senator Beveridge, and appealing fbr the support of the voters on the very ground that Senator Beveridge spurns. His indorsement for speaker is regarded as an open attempt to whip the "regular' republicans Into line. It was Congressman Crumpacker, it will be remembered, who recently sent word to E. M. Lee, republican state chairman, not to send any insurgent speakers into his district. It was said that he threatened to attack Senator Beveridge in his speeches if his erder was disobeyed. Congressman Crumpacker is a ’regular’’ of the first magnitude, second in Indiana only to James E. Watson—if second to anyone. He was renominated for congress in the Tenth district on a standpat platform. He supported the PayneAldrich tariff bill and stands for the very things that Senator Beveridge is assailing. The action with reference to Congressman Crumpacker was taken by a number of the republican congressional who were present at the meeting, and it was, doubtless, a surprise to Mr. Crumpacker, as he was not there to pro test. The meeting was announced with a blare of trumpets and it was said that former Senator Hemenway, -James E. Watson, Colonel Durbin. James P. Goodrich, and all the ather notables of the ’’Old Guard” would be there, not with bells on, but with their coats off. and ready to help the Bever idge state committee to get down to business. As a matter of fact, not one of the "Old Guard” appeared with the exception of W. H. Freeman, who was very lonesome in the midst or the new masters of the repubiicau ship. The men who formerly directed the work of the party were highly conspicuous by their absence. All of them had important engagements elsewhere—and kept these other engagements. One of mose whose absence was noted with keen regret was Charles Sefrit of Washington, Ind., editor of the Washington Herald and a member of the republican executive committee. No one ever thought for a minute that he would be absent and there were several who desired very earnestly to know why he made the charge in the Hearld that Senator Beveridge is deceiving the people of Indiana in his professed attitude toward "reform” legislation—particularly the tariff. Mr. Sefrit said editorially in the Herald that Senator Beveridge would have voted for the tariff bill if his vote had been necessary for its passage. If this be true the Senator is deceiving the people of Indiana. o —_— THE BIG SHOW THIS WEEK. Some Inside Tips Regarding Life of Circus People. “I would not want to earn my living in that way," is a remark heard on ail sides when one attends a performance of a big circus institution like that of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows. Such a remark may be made when the animal trainer pulls the lions by their tails and puts his head in their mouths; the exclamation may be elicited by the flights of the aerial performers as they glide gracefully through the air. apparently tempting death. If the hardened circus employee is asked to name the most hazardous act with the show, the most risky feat, he will instantly refer you 10 the chariot race There is one person enlisted with the Hagenbeck-Wal-lace Shows that has been carried senseless from the arena to the dressing tent more times than all of the rest of the performers combined, and I that person is Mme. Abrams, the wo-;

man of iron, who drives the woman s chariot in the races. People will risk their life for money. In order to insure real racing. Mr. Wallace offers every week, it Is said. )50 in addition to the salaries, to the person who wins the most of the races in their class. Mrs. Abrams competes with a man in the chariot races. She generally wins the most though occasiorfhlly the man wins the extra money. The ordinary driver, if driving down the street at a fairly gool clip, will slack up his team if it it about to make a turn, but in these chariot races in a circus tent the drivers have only 45 feet in which to make a turn of half a circle. So dangerous is this feat that when Mme Abrams is unable to drive because of accident there is not another woman of the hundred or more with the show that will drive in that race. This woman has driven herself through life and around the world. She has participated in races among civilized people, and feels as much at home behind her four-in-hand with her chariot as the engineer on his engine. She enters the race without dear, unless the ground is unusually rough, and she has good reason to anticipate being thrown over, but never does Mme. Abrams refuse to ride if she is able to do so. Last season in Rogers Para. Ark., during the matinee performance she was hurled out at the turn and landed against the seats, being knock ed unconscious. Mrs. Abratns was forced to miss riding that evening, but the next day she drove, although it was necessary to carry her to the chariot in a chair. For a week, it is said, she required the service of a carriage to go to the circus grounds and walked with a cane, and yet she has not missed a race since. Mr. Abrams, this superintendent of the stock with the same show, a man of little stature, but of much energy, never fails to be close at hand when the hippodrome races are called, and many times has he assisted in tenderly carrying his wife from the arena as she was unconscious from an acci dent in the races, it is said. As the chariotseers dash around the abrupt turns on a circus hippodrome track it is possible for any stiff stubble to cause the chariot to upset, or as the chariots are forced to pass each other at the narrow and short turn, the hubs of the inner wheels may rub, and if one or the other driver does not pull away at the right instant, one of the two is sure to be roughly spilled into the laps of the audience. A dressing tent of a circus is the sitting room of the circus family, and when accidents, such as Mme. Abrams encounters, do occur, her comrades of the circus sitting room do all they can for her and see that she has the many little attentions which an injured person would receive at home. Mi& Margaret Colchin of Fort Wayne and Miss Rose Colchin were guests at dinner Sunday of the Misses Rose and Anna Gl.iley, who entertained in honor of their cousin. Miss Celia Minnahan. of Marion, Ohio. — - o — CARD OF THANKS.
