Postponement at Tim Oaks. Today
was to have been a special day for the

were advertised wera to have been given
away. The announcement Is ma that,
deferring to many requests of ticket
holders for thy special event, this affair

daily papers. Owing to the circus being
a strong counter attraction for the chil
dren who wish to attend the visit of the

terday by the management of The Oaks

are still good. It Is believed that the
postponement will be pleasing to the ma
jority of Oaks patrons.

CIRCUS THRILLS ALL
Capacity Crowds Pack Bar
num & Bailey's Big Tents.
AUTO ACT IS HAIR-RAISER
Business Cares Are Forgotten While
Young and Old Witness Start
ling Performances and Bee
Wonders of the Big Zoo.
Into the spacious tent that rose at the
circus grounds early yesterday morning
thousands of persons crowded yesterday
afternoon and last night to see the big
show, known as Barnum & Bailey's
greatest show on earth. Both the after
noon and evening performances attracted
Immense crowds.
Every seat was occupied and hundreds
were turned away. And every one ate
peanuts. Staid business men, many gray
and wrinkled, imagined they were boys
agam and watched the clowns, eating
peanuts, with the same degree of mirth
ful enthusiasm as they did years ago.
For -the small boys It was a day of
Joys, one of happiness they will not soon
forget, for they have been expectantly
awaiting the coming of the big circus
for weeks. And hundreds of youngsters
witnessed the performances.
Circus Bigger Than Ever.
With even an enlarged herd of ele
phants, a small army of fun-making
clowns, a list of features and attractions
of wonderful variety, the big circus Is
perhaps even bigger than on its last trip
to Portland, The most sensational fea
ture of the show is the automobile act
in which two women risk their Uvea to
thrill the audience.
The act Is certainly a thriller, and
caused many women to faint. One man,
i .. .tH hnua anrfAreri from a weak
heart,' was prostrated after witnessing
the scene. He sank to tne grouna imme
diately after the act, and a big crowd
gathered about him. A physician who
happened to be near went to his assist
ance and he was soon resuscitated.
The automobile act is by far the most
daring feature of the show. The two
women are bound in the machines which
rush down a steep incline and hurl them
selves Irfto the air. One of the cars turns
a complete somersault in mid-air, while
the other, after rising to a considerable
height, dashes down the track towards
the row of spectators. The man who
was prostrated ' was seated directly in
front of the car. (
' Many New Acts Dazzle.
v The aerial and gymnastic performers
are darzling In their acts. The equine
and acrobatic feats are thrilling and ab
sorbing. Many new and interesting fea
tures are introduced.
In the managerie there was also deep
interest. Around the big esplanade cage
after cage has been arranged, each con
taining an interesting assortment of ani
mals. There are leopards, polar bears,
huge grizzlies, kangaroos, horned horses,
gaselles and scores of monkeys. There
are herds of camels, elephants, zebras,
llamas and many other species.
Especially Interesting are the acts in
which the elephants participate. ' Trained

irn. i , ino-ipai and nractlcal sense
would insure both labor and leisure for
every-one, with equal opportunity iui
all and at the same time furnish sus
tenance in abundance for the entire
human family.
Now if we are able, through con
nmiiiirtinn. to nroduce beyond
our normal ability to consume, there
must, necessarily arise a surplus m
products, .through the employment of
tt . i- n.nniA TCftber wa must have
a corresponding period of leisure for
all, or there must ne a ciass mm con
sumes and does not produce, with a
corresponding-class that produces mor
than they consume.
That the foregoing Illustration truly
describes our social condition of pro
duction and consumption challenges
contradiction.
Now one more statement to close the
contention, vis., that which applies to
one notion applies to all nations, as all
have the same classes. Hence the for
eign market is merely a matter of ex
change of products and the question
of production ana consumption re
mains unchanged. '
The continual drift across the line from
the side of predatory wealth to the pro
ducing class, with the exceptional lone
some few returning, ever swells the pro
ducing power of the nations and con
tinually diminishes the consuming power
of the nonproduclng class. Herein lies
the crisis toward which all the world Is
fast traveling and without political agi
tation will, in Its own good time, pre
cipitate a -social revolution through its
natural course.
Could the migration or transition be
changed from the producing to the non
producing class, proportionately to the
Increased power of production.- then might
the profit system survive and one clasa
continue to always remain In slavery.
The resultant failure through the di
minishing few to consume the products
of the ever increasing producing class,
whose wages cannot repurchase their
production at the demanded profit, forces
a lack of employment and forms the prob
lem of the age.
This unemployed problem Is the key to
the new system, which demands produc
tion for use and not for profit, with a
corresponding amount of labor and
leisure for all.
We are. by following the lines of least
resistance, drifting steadily toward the
goal of co-operation. Not because we de
serve it, or because it is better, but be
cause of our inability to oppose the
course of eocial evolution we take the
course of least resistance let it land us

weak were disappropriated by their more
powerful neighbors of their goods, chat
tels, wives, etc. ,
..For protection against usurpation from
this source, governments were formed,
with statutes and ordinances framed for
general protection, which were enforced
by police and military power. Thus was
society protected.
The present' day parallel is found in
the scheming and corruption practised
by the unscrupulous, cunning' and alert,
on their more honest and less cunning
neighbors. This has engaged the "big
stick" unsuccessfully for the past eight
years. '
The remedy for present "relief lies not
in the Impossible, the enforcement of law,
but in the removal of the cause, the
profit system, and thereby overcoming
the effect. This would modernize our so
cial relations to a parallel of our me
chanical age and restore to society a
proper equilibrium. This is our logical
defense and the only possible mode left
for the continued habitation of the earth.
" The oft-asserted claim that this will
destroy incentive and cause society to
deteriorate, is like all other spooks that
have haunted the social changes of all
ages.' If incentive consists In the cun
ning craftiness of Jacob for the getting
of illegitimate gain, rather than for the
betterment of society, let us endeavor to
find something other than Incentive for
our purpose in life.
The fact of ' this, matter is that the
greatest incentive of human effort lies
in doing good rather than evil, else w.lth
a system that stimulates fraud and de
ceit the human family would long since
have destroyed ltsself, where the con
trary Is self evidentl and we have ad
vanced toward the Divine continually.
All changes have begun with the lower
.trots, of socletv and through this class
in the present as in the past ages will j
come the new.
These men and women have been hated
and despised, from Moses in Midian
through Christ on the cross, to our modV
ern heroes, who have, by their Indomit
able will, dragged society from Its fos
silized moorings to the new civilization.
Let us not forget that while majorities
rule, minorities revolutionize.

Another Advance in
Tone Production
Recent experiments In the direction
of tone production made by Messrs.
Chlckerlng have resulted In the perfec
tion of a most notable Grand Piano

the famous Quarter Grand). It la an
instrument of rare and exquisite tone,
In which quality and not quantity has
been the first consideration. It is a
new departure in modern piano build
ing and in Inviting attention to it we
do so with much pride In the success
of their efforts. These wonderful in
struments may now be seen at our
