SIXTY CLOWNS WITH MCEU-WALLACE

Bix Noted French Pantomimisti In Modern Followers of Dan Rice's Art,

Hie modern clown is a paradox. He IK

the t-ame as in the day of Dan Rice, Away back in the last century, and vet he is a different clown. The same in that he paints his face In vermilion ar white, and adhere* to the tlraefconored ridiculous pattern in his iresa different because of the fact that his Vork today is practically all fantomime, whereas that of the Ancient clown used to be composed of •mging, reciting and telling jokes, at ivhtch time no other act worked in the tlg show.

The change in the clown's method of V-ork is the logical result of shifting Condition# In the Circus world. In frther days, when one ring: sufficed, the tent was necessarily small, a fact Which permitted the clown to be distinctly heard from any point under the canvas. At that time on^ act was quite •nough for such a limited audience. •And the clown, being obliged to contrit*'ite his share to the program, happily hit upon the pleasing and successful Idea of singing, joking and reciting.

In the shifting Kernes of time the country became more populated. The (Mrcua proprietor enlarged the tent. *1 hen a second ring was added, and, finally, a third, together with a couple rf stages and an enormous hippodrome track. Acts were placed in these rings, «m the hippodrome track and in the Aerial enclave above, that all might have a good view. The clown found that he could not make his voice heard in so large an area,

THIS DISTRICT AND SECOND IN LINETO CHANGE

^ntinued From Pag* On*.

lic&n here said this week that the democrats still have nearly ninety day8 in wfrreh to make costly mistakes.

Doubtless there are many like him among the republicans who are hopeful that the democrats will make some bad break that will change the situation and turn the tide in favor of their party. When the report of the senate committee on military affairs on the airplane matter was made public some of the CI. O. P. leaders here concluded that they had discovered the big issuo that would give them a control in Indiana political affairs. But to their astonishment they soon discovered that the people were not at all "worked up" over the report of a committee that has not shown a marked friendship for the president since war was declared.

Not Swapping Horse*.

The people discovered long ago that the constructive criticism indulged in by the average republican politician was not inspired by lofty or patriotic motives, but lather was intended to make capital for his party. Hence the difficulty they ha^e encountered in mfUclng an issue out of the senate military committee's report. No one seems to be interested seriously in critics. "What the people desire is the winning of the war as Quickly as possible, and that is one of the reasons for the unusual political situation not only in Indiana but throughout the entire country.

If the average man had his way there would he no election this year. The attitude of the people towards the president indicates very clearly to the shrewd observers that the appeal for a change of administration is not going to be taken very seriously. The outlook right now Is that thousands of republicans will vote the democratic ticket not because they are converted to the ancient principles of the democratic party, but on account of their belief that it would be foolish to "swap horses in the middle of the Stream."

There Is rtfuch force Ao the argument of the democrats who recaJl that in 18fR Colonel Roosevelt and other republican leaders went about the country insisting that a defeat of the republican candidates for congress would encourago Spain and other European nations to believe that a majority of the Am^ric'in people had repudiated President McKinley's administration for Its conduct of the war against Spatn. To change thr control of congress from the republicans to the democrats would, they said in 1898, show Europe that the McKinley war policies had been turned down. The democrats are quoting effectively the demands of the big republican papers in 1S9S for the election of a republican congress to show Europe that America was backing up President McKinley.

There isn't the slightest doubt that if the republicans were in power now at Washington ^that their leaders, not only in Indiana but everywhere, would be demanding the election of a republican congress to show Germany and all the rest of Europe that America is "standing by the president."

Only It seems that many of the republican stand-bys in this state can't see that their argument in 1898 in behalf of President McKinley doesn't apply with equal force in behalf of President Wilson. Perhaps they will explain before the election why it was necessary to elect a republican congress ^n 1898 to show Europe that America stvjod by its president, and why it is necessary now to turn down the president and his party in order to win the war.

These are matters that the voters are turning over in their own minds, ind perhaps Van Nuys ha^ been wise enough to vision the future to a far better advantage than th£ republicans believe.

Sympathy for Goodrich.

The injury to Governor Goodrich In the automobile accident Wednesday night is far more serious than is generally understood. In '.'act it is only by a miracle th.it his life is again saved. The facture of his skull was not severe enough to cause his ueath but a little more and he would not have recovered from it.

the campaign on account of the accident. That will be a source of deep regret to him since he expected to make a tour of the state. His administration has been attacked by the democrats and he will not be on hand to defend it. However as soon as he is able to discuss matters he may dictate a speech that will be read at the various republican meetings. He had the facts in hand for the keynote speech of the republican campaign which was to have been delivered at Huntington. Sept. 9.

It is not likely that he oan prepare ft speech to be read then. The governor is a man of strong will power and fortunately he was in good physical condition to withstand the accident His friends who are predicting that he will be out again in two or three weeks do not seem to understand the situation.

The governor has a badly fractored hip. Even under the most favorable conditions he will not be able to be moved from his present room at the hospital within two months. It may require six months or longer for the bones to knit. The governor is not a young man and a broken hip is one of the most serious accidents a person can sustain. The broken collar bone may heal very soon and the physicians say that the fracture in the skull will i repair itself within a few weeks. However, they are not so optimistic about i the broken hip bones.

The entire state is sympathetic with the governor and is pulling for his speedy recovery. It happens that he 1 has a strong personal interest in the campaign. The state issues features of the republican platform to which much objection has been raised in his party are of his own making. They have been attacked by republicans as well as democrats.

The governor was ready to take the stump in reply to his critics, but the outlook is that he will not appear at any political meeting this year. His speeches may be read a* already stated, bnt as a personal factor in' politics the accident seems to have eliminated him for the present. He has had more than his share of bad luck since he became governor, aa he was in the hospital for nearly three! months last year with the typhoid fever which came near ending his life.

That he Is resting comfortably and

Registration Not Bright.

While a great effort is being made by the state and by the two state committees to register the soldiers so they can vo^e, it is likely that most of the work will be of no avail. The commission appointed by Governor Goodrich to have charge of the registration visited Camp Sherman, O., this week, Mit found that there were only 500 Indiana boys to register. A short time before a large contingent of Ohio and Indiana boys left Camp Sherman for

.n.. __

K

There are practically 100,000 Indiana boys in various branches of the service. Most of the members at the Indiana national guard are saitl to have been sent across the Atlantic. Both committees are doing everything they can to locate the soldier vote but it will be surprising if 20,000 soldier votes are cast. The absence of the soldiers will affect both parties alike. Xow and then some silly partisan says that a majority of the soldiers are republicans or democrats but as a matter of fact the soldiers are divided politically just as the folks at home are divided. Their absence will cut down the total vote hut neither party will suffer a greater lo'ss than the other because the boy« are away.

is receiving every attention, will be a source of satisfaction throughout the state. The work he had started will be carried on without interruption. Within a very short time he will be able to dictate his office matters from t.h» mom in the hospital. It is not likely that there will be a recurrence of the trouble that arose last year when the governor was incapacitated by illness. As terribly injured as he is, he has his mental faculties unimpaired, and he can keep his hands on the affairs of his office.
