What do the} all tell him? unant
OTiOusly they say they want peace
definitely settled, they warn no more
wtare, they want the League of Na
■ lions, and most of the American peo
’pie, it may he fairly raid, tell tbe
President they want tbe League Jus!
‘•a it in, without the reservations oi
Amendments which certain senatorr
have insisted upon. The majority ol
citizens say to those who Interview
“Ahem on this tour.
"Woodrow Wilnor guided nt righilf

one agree*, to end All ■ware. He nays
the 1< ugui can do (hat. $Ve w ant to
do that, eo let uk heep on (rusting him
nnd get the league Into operation as
eoon as possible Forget politics.”
Most Americans encountered on the
tour have forgotten politics. Repub
'llcan Governors and Mayors have in
troduced the Preiident to hie audl
enc.e; the Major part of (he local coin
mlttees which have met him have
•been Republicans They have all saldr
"We are nothing but Americans, Mr.
(President. - ’
Mr. Wilson's arguments for the
•league, briefly summarized, are those'
There can be no peace, either now
or In the future, without it. There
can only he a regrouping of nations
and anew "Balance of Power,” which
tls certain to lend to war. There can
Jbe no war in the future, with the
•league in existence, because no single
.nation would defy the united rest of
.mankind, and if it did, it ccultl he
•brought to terms by an economic
(boycott, and without the use of arms.
There can be no reduction in the
cost of living until the league is es
tablished, for nations will not go
.-ahead with peace time production um
Til they know that peace,ls definitely
assured and that production of war
material Is no longer necessary-
There can be wonderful prosperity,
with the league in existence, for rel
ations of labor and capital all over
the world will be made closer and
wore friendly, and the worker will re
ceive a fair* r share of what he pro
duces.
These declaration of the president,
Jog!rally and eloquently put, have left
Ills hearers thinking and thinking
deeply. And then Mr Wilson has
rpointed out. the people themselves, as
differentiated from senators and politi
cians, seem to want just what the
president wants, which Is America for
•Leadership
Quite as unusual os the purpose of
the cross country tour is the manner

Wonderful Tented Attraction.

this city and vicinity will attend.
They will go early, 1< be in time
for the street parade and will at
tend both performances.
('oncerning the show the Itang
or, Maine, News lias the following
nice things to say: “-Inst a plain
old fashioned eireus sueli as your
grand-parents enjoyed, rejuvenat
ed and brought down to date,
made more interesting by the
dean, business-like manner
in which it is presented—this is
the charm that held the assembled
thousands who crowded the main
tent of the -John Robinson eireus.
For it is a circus that does not de
pend on pageants, parades or spec
tacles, to interest its patrons. In
the three rings are presented the
cream of eireus acts. The well
trained animals, the handsome rid
ing horses, and their famous rid
ers, the aerial acrobats, Jlte eon-
gross of athletes were all of the
highest class, well worth seeing,
comparing favorably with any of
the big circuses of the country.
“The performance of the big
show was up to the most glaring
claim. It had everything that a
eireus should have. In fact many
of the acts call for a use of super
latives generous praise that was
well deserved. The c lowns pro
duce good, clean fun, and make a
big hit with the audience.'*
