The action of the authorities requiring all dogs of the city to be muzzled was wise. People in the country may well be cautious also, while there is so much danger of hydrophobia among dogs. Children should be cautioned against handling dogs. Too much care can not be taken to guard against the danger. What is the value of all the dogs in the country compared with the life of a child? Persons who have dogs and also children can readily answer that question.

It is well that the matter of mechanical education is attracting more and more attention. Oftentimes persons with good, literary educations can scarcely make a living, but a good mechanic can always find something to do. It is well that provisions for mechanical educations are being made, and it is right that it should be provided at the public expense, as other educations are. It is surprising that more young men do not seek to learn good trades.

Keep this constantly in mind, even though you vote the Democratic ticket next fall: "A tariff for revenue only has always produced business and financial trouble," and it will do the same in Ihe future that it has done in the past. Let those who are determined to vote for that which has always produced business disaster, take their medicine uncomplainingly, when they get it.

The financial condition of Indiana is a reproach to Democratic administration. It is emphasized by the fact that the campaign which resulted in the election of Democratic state officials was made on the theory of Democratic economy against Republican extravagance. And still the Democratic administration has spent more money and has less to show for it than the Republicans. The difference between the two parties is that the Democratic party always talks economy and never practices it the Republican party never talks economy but always expends the state's money judiciously, which is true economy.

It is said the patent laws are to be revised. This will enable the trusts and wealthy corporations to get in some work against the public. We believe the patent laws should be revised, but we believe that they should provide that the man whose genius develops some new invention should get the benefits to which he is entitled. It is a notorious fact that comparatively few inventors reap the rewards of their labors. Usually some rich schemers beat them out of their patents and then impose upon the public for a generation under trust patent laws which protect the owners to the extent that they can charge fabulous prices and accumulate millions of dollars. No invention, no matter how great, should enable anyone to accumulate millions upon millions. A reasonably fair compensation is all that a patentee should be allowed on an invention, and that compensation should go to the man who really invents the new things. As has been suggested heretofore, it might be well for the Government to determine what the compensation for an invention should be, and then see that the patentee gets that to which he is entitled, after which he public should be the beneficiary.

James B. McDahiel, of R. R. 45 out of Markleville, was in Greenfield Tuesday and called at the Republican office. He is the purest type of the old-time Republican, that we have seen in a long time. He is a stand-patter of the first water, and his opinion would cheer the heart of such leaders as Uncle Joe Cannon and James E. Watson, who in these progressive days surely get lonesome when so many Republicans are talking Populism. He says he is not for Roosevelt, because he is a Populist. Mr. McDaniel believes in the old-time Republican doctrines and he feels sure that four years of tariff for revenue Democratic administration will convert the voters of the country to safe and sane political ideas.

Leonard Hopkins, of near Maxwell, who is known over the county as a fruit grower, said Tuesday that he was going to have quite a good crop of apples, cherries and pears, if nothing injured them after this time.

MANY GOING TO CIRCUS

Ringling Bros. Attract Unusual Interest With Many Big Features

Ringling Brothers' cir.cus is attracting unusual interest this season because of its many new features and the new aspect given the show by the addition of the great spectacle, "Joan of Arc." The circus will be seen in Indianapolis on May 6th, and this city and surrounding country will be well represented as it always is when Ringling Brothers are within excursion distance.

There will be a new parade in the forenoon three miles in length. The menagerie is practically twice as big as it was last year, and contains many specimens of strange animal life new to American zoos. Audiences will be entertained by 375 of the greatest of Europe's circus artists. Chief among the stars who are exploiting novelties and sensational acts are: the Ty-Bell sisters, known as "The Human Butterflies," whose remarkable aerial performance was the talk of Europe last winter Carlos Caesaro, known as "the man with the iron head," the great Rooney family of equestrians, the Castrillon, the Hines-Kimball and the Florence families of acrobats Joseph La Fleur, who does a backward dive from the dome of the tent the Schuman performing horses, three herds of trained elephants that are new to this country, and Capt. Huling's two troupes of trained seals and sea-lions. There are many more big acts. Novelty and freshness are the keynote of the performance and there are fifty clowns to keep the audience in constant merriment.

The great feature of the show is of course the newly added spectacle "Joan of Arc," w-ith a trainload of special scenery, costumes and stage properties and a cast of 1200 characters. There is also a ballet of 300 dancing girls, a chorus of 400 voices and an orchestra of 100 soloists. This is the greatest dramatic and spectacular production ever presented in America, enacted on a specially built stage bigger than a hundred ordinary theaters. This is made portable so that it can be erected in the main tent, each morning. This great entertainment is given as an introductory to the regular circus performance and entails no extra charge of admission. "Joan of Arc" tells a masterful story from French history in a thrilling and dramatic way and with the wronderful illusion of tons of special scenery and stage devices. In the great battle scene the audience is held spellbound by the realism of the scene, wThile the enactment of the coronation of Chas. VII is beyond question the most sumptuous and inspiring stage picture ever seen. d&w

May Woman's Home Companion. The May Woman's Home Companion contains a most interesting account of the recent dramatization and staging of Louisa M. Alcott's "Little Women." It is quite a remarkable story—how Miss Alcott's heirs have objected for years to putting this story on the stage, but how at last they have consented. Among the other articles in the number are the following: "Seeing Europe on $3.50 a Day," "A Mother's Account of the Effect of the Boy Scout Movement on Her Son," "Women Writers as Humorists," "How to Attract Birds," and the first of a new series on the American girl, by J. Nilsen Laurvik.

On the fiction side, the leading contributions are from Kathleen Norris, Susan Glaspell, Anna Hamilton Donne 11 and Mary Heaton Vorse.

In the practical dress-making, housekeeping, and entertainment departments appear many interesting contributions, among which are articles on "Sensible Shoes," "The Healthy Baby," "The Practical Kitchen," "How to Make a SunDial," "How to Make a Summer Shack," "The Appetizing Beefsteak" and "A Dozen Good Deserts." d-w
