STATE FAIR WILL AGAIN
PRESENT FEATURE CIRCUS
In a bulletin recently put out by
the Nebraska State Board of Agri
culture it is definitely stated that
the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus which
last year showed before the grand
stand at the State Fair has again
been secured and will present an
entirely new program the four last
days ofthe Fair, September 3 to 6.
It will be remembered that early
in the summer the Hagenback-Wal-lace
Circus suffered a disastrous
wreck with the loss of a great many
lives. At first it was feared that
the loss of life was among members
whose services could not be replac
ed. Definite assurance has . been
sent the State Board of Agriculture,
however, that the circus will fulfill
its engagements, the loss of life be
ing largely among the laborers, rath
er than among the skilled acts. Thus
the circus will come to the State
Fair with a good share of its equip
ment new and with an entire change
from the program of the preceding
year.
Besides the circus, it is stated,
there will be enough other attrac
tions to require several days to take
them all in. Among thse may be
mentioned the Rice-Wortham Carni
val, the largest carnival in the busi
ness, the Hagenbeck-Wallace Side
Shows with their world-famous men
agerie, the Mid-Way Shows, Auto
Races on Labor Day and Horse
Races all other days. This is the
most costly and pretentious amuse
ment program ever presented at the
Fair and should draw forth a record
breaking attendance.
BULLETIN
TO ALL CONCERNED:
The following address was made
by the Director General of Railroads
to Shop Workers at Hillyard, Wash.,
on July 22nd:
"Ladies and Gentlemen Fellow
workmen, I wish I could make a
speech to you but I over-strained my
voice in three Liberty Loan Cam
paigns and the Doctor has forbid
me to make any speeches for a
short time, but I do want to tell
you that I am glad to see you and
to be associated with you in a very
great work for our Counter.
To us railroad men has been as
signed one of the biggest parts in
this war, it depends upon us as to
whether or not the Kaiser will be
licked ten times as quickly as other
wise he would be. I know we are
going to lick him ten times as quick
ly because the railroad men of the
United States are going to do their
duty to Uncle Sam. You are all
Uncle Sam's servants now, no pri
vate interests controls the railroads
any more. Uncle Sam is in com
mand and he has his hands on the
throttle. He is running these rail
roads and you are going to help him
make a success of it. I want to give
you all just as fair treatment as I
know, but we are all servants of the
American .people you and I alike
and it depends upon the way in
which we discharge our responsibili
ties whether or not the American
people are going to treat us right.
The strength of our positions must
always rest upon public opinion.
What I do for j-ou from time to time
must be done with reference to what
is just, not alone to you but to the
public, which has to pay the bills.
I want to give you a square deal,
the public wants to give you a
square deal, but the public wants
you to give it ai square deal as well.
When your wages are raised, how
do we get the money to pay it? We
have to put up the rates on all the
American people and If we do not
treat them fairly they will refuse to
sustain me in trying to help you. I

want you to help me do the square
thing for the American people,
while I am trying to do the square
thing for you, that is fair all around,
isn"t it?
I know that the machinists and
shopmen think they were not treat
ed fairly in the original rate com
mission report. There are peculiar
conditions effecting the machinist
and shop men of the Country be
cause I recognize that. I appointed
a new commission The Board of
Railroad Wages and Work Condi
tions. They have made a report to
me and I am working on that report
and shall render a decision on the
25th of this month, when that de
cision is made I want you to know
that I have conscientiously done the
best I can for you, having Just re
gards to your interests and the inter
ests of the Public.
I want you all to accept that de
cision like true patriots putting
country above self, or selfish Inter
ests, like our true brave soldiers are
doing in France. We owe that much
to our splendid men who are shed
ding their blood to make our jobs
and our homes safe and to save hu
man lives throughout the world. If
we all do our duty as well as our
boys are doing their duty in France
we shall soon plant the Kaiser face
downward and keep him there. Let
every railroad man hold on to his
job and back Uncle Sam to the
limited." WM. BAIRI).
