• nary List of Attractions
. in Los Angeles
There are three particularly happy
days in the American calendar, Christ
mas, Fourth of July and circus day.
Of these, circus day Is easily the mer
riest. As if drawn by an irresistible,
magnet, youth and age respond to the
lure of the posters,* the same old post
era that have charmed and controlled
our Imagination since boyhood. . _
In the world's,, history circuses have
always bean interesting features In the
entertainment of - humanity. They
bring Into each city or town visited an
amount, or .enjoyment for old and
■ young whf<Jh: cannot ba 'calculated. The
children ar* 'simply wild with- delight
from the etirlelst dawn of- circus day—
the eagor expectancy of the street pa
rade, home for the hurried dinner,
then the show grounds, all the mar
veloUs wanilers'of the menagerie tent,
nothing but Joyous merriment clear up
to the' last act 'of the enormous three
ringed, circus. . u-i^l
OUICICI HEMINDS OF YOUTH
The older people, evon the "round
era," are. reminded of the happy days
of youth. Here is one occasion in life,
at any rate, where every one may be
young again, may feel and act like
boys alid girls in a good, old-fashioned,
.wholesome manner and yell and ap
plaud <■ when a particularly S daring
equestrian or bicyclist. performs some j
astounding feat. '' ,-•• "' \ '
The circus, like most earthly things, i
may have its follies; but somehow it |
holds a i steady place in the human
heart. It strikes a sensitive chord, |
however old we may be. There Is no I
real, red-blooded man . but feels the ]
thrill of merriment when he hears the
circus bands and gets a glimpse of
the parade. Its novelty never grows
stale.
To the youthful imagination this is
■ particularly so. The recolltectlon of
circus day in our youth is sincerely
cherished. Those gay and fearless
bareback rlders-*-\vere there ever mor
tals so favored, especially when they
vaulted through a hoop, alighting on
the steady back of the beautiful white
horse? Tho old clown— there ever
anything in life so funiiy, or so wise,
as he .grimaced with hls.ipalnted face,
and ran against the tent' pole, mourn
ing (he • accident to 1$» unharmed,
gilded nose? ': '4 >:f t.

"We recall the old ' sMftDbily dressed

ers flitting from perch:to perch like
a bird in the woods;,-the . man who
could do a double somersault over, tho

the circus. : . The modern,'creator of cir

CHICAGO ELECTION FRAUDS
FAIL TO MATERIALIZE
Investigators Find the Bribers of
Voters Are Immune
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Charges of petty
frauds that were expected to material
ize In large numbers before the board
of election commissioners, as a result
of repeating and vote buying at tho
recent primary, did not show life at tho
commission office yesterday.
The ardor of some of the Investigat
ors was dampened by the discovery
that the primary law provides punish
ment for the voter who sells his vote or
accepts a bribe, but at the same time
provides Immunity for the candidate or
politician who does the bribing or buys
the vote.
"There Is nothing we fan d>o in these
cases, so far ac the bribers are con
cerned, '• said John C. Cannon, chief
clerk of the commission. "It seems
rather strange, but the law appears to
be perfectly plain In its pxpression. It
would be practically Impossible to find
out who the vote sellers were."
