Tft* d*-ath of John ibowlow in (oiminuati,
where In was respectably engaged m business

for a vanished youth. How low was oi the days
when life was simple and pleasures few. Small
excitements ranked as gnat events in an ex
perience of routine no more monotonous be
cause its surface was broken by fewer and gentler
ripples Life held a /est in those days like

his simple fun guyed him for hi-t mock catas

through all his efforts. With it till he never lost
his own /est or interest lie was a i lown,
. hard working and faithful in labor. Inn a clown
with a he. rt. Year In w ar he toured tile coun
try. visiting Unit after time the same siinplt
plates, bringing season after season his old
new jokes, his inquired gibes, making friend
and keeping them. Finally, when the John Rob
inson show; ball reached tin- point where they
traveled in Unit special trains, when their can
v ass spread w as measured in acres, John Low low
•i 'll went along, in citizen- clothes, greeting
grey whiskered friends of his early career, re
m wing acquaintance with the hoys who had car
ried tin- water foi t he .-elephant or had been per
mitted, on ins blind side, to creep underneath
the llap ol the tent. Only a clown, and even
inn doing liis brief turn m the sawdust ring
foi old acquaintance sake, John tjowlow vvu»
loved and honored and made much of by ihesf
who in a more complex day swore by all the
f('collections of childhood that the science, o!
the mountebank had died with Low low when In
put on llesh.
Low low was. of course, a remarkable clown.
It was not so mucli what lie said, nor yet wliat
lie did. In all i onseience his capers and his
joke,-, wen. stereotyped enough. Rather it wa
in the r. /vc with which lie carried his part,
in the good nature with which ue met his au
diences, more than ail in the pride with which
he approached his work. Lowhnv saw nothing
lowly in the part of a clown. To him It was a
profession, and a worths one. With th* painl
wiped from bis face, in citizen's clothes, ho
mingled with all the world with a charming as
surance of his own worth. H- looked life hon
estly in the face, as one who. having worked, in
all modesty demands his due.
it was this that caused John Low low to gain
ti e respect of the people among v horn for so
many years he rmyde hit; yearly pilgrimage. It
was tills that enabled him, full of veurs and ex
perience, to leave the sawdust for the desk, to
make good in after life of business as he had
made good in the early years in the lnisie -s

In the confusion of tlie campaign, in file j
ble of heads falling here and there, with u.
waving of the big stick and the beating ui the
big mass drum there was temporarily lost to
view the good grey head—or the pious cove ag
of ih wicked brain -of one Joseph Gurney t att

Only a few short months ago and It was about

were hurled the maledictions. Against him w>re
launched the philliples. The target for a hun
dred strong-arm httrlers from a score of dim
tiotiH. your L'ncie Joseph stood forth a shining
mark, spattered and bruised, hut never under
cover, never deigning to dodge.
On Tuesdiiy, regardless of the fact that it was
1 of and concerning Cannon that the campaign
got its inspiration to initial activity, few there
were who, fraiit! - for news, thought, to look m
the direction of Danville. Illinois. For all th-c
any one thought or said, or even the bulb-un
told, I tide Joe was no longer on the political
map.
flut now that the' smoko has cleared. it is il
luminating to n>'i' this ancient warrior crawling
off the field with a single scalp. Lost in the battle,

After , all, main of those most vehement in

their denunciation without thought ot what Lhe.v

power. There is. we think, for all tin- red fire

GERMANS HOPE FOR
TARIFF REVISION
BE REIN, November 10,- The Berlin
Tag.-blatt to-day, voicing the thought
that is in th* minds of many German
people, express*-* the hope that the
KepuiMieun overthrow in the Enlted
State* will lead to sweeping tariff
revision.
' if Arnerh n will now revise her
tariff." it »a>», we will make con
cessions. too. The demolition of one
tariff wall mean* fthe leveling of
nth* r*. and we cannot look upon the
r< suits of yesterday hut a* the open
ing vvidge to radical tariff changes”
The keynote of many pres* and
private comments is that the result
was a people's revolt against govern
ment l»y the rich and for the rich.
Excessive capitalism, trusts and tho
unpopular tariff are held to he re
sponsible for the people going over
to the Iletnocrailc camp. Roosevelt
u» also made to share a large part
of the responsibility.
The 1 o nto ratio wave that lias
swept over America is described as
merely a manifestation of the unrest
that j* now seising other countries.

of recent years tile President * imme

Because of the increase In the labor*

Fred \V (\irpenier brings him into the
most confidential relations with Mr.

act as ft sort of buffer between th*
President and the public, which re
gards th* White House as a popular

The secretary to the President, hy
indiscretion or lack of tact, can help
to wreck the administration. Hy no

work, which properly Is to serve a*
