SANTA ANA.

The Question of Actresses in Tights.
Brevities.
SANTA ANA, Feb. 1S.-The HERALD
representative in Santa Ana recently
alluded to the warfare being waged here
against so called indecent bills "as
tempest in teapot" The bills in
question were those of Turner's English
Girls, and were merely representative
of women in tights. This item called
forth an editorial in the last issue of the
Orange County Herald, in which the
writer ia chided for his want of decency.
The facts are, that if the really good
people of this community want 10 do
missionary work, there is no need of
them looking to the preventing of imag-
mary euils, such as posting bills in town.
There are real evils here OF mach deeper
dye. The person whose morals could
be corrupted by gazing on any of the
pictures displayed is queer character,
and ought to be put on exhibition. No
one but an evil thinker could find any
thing to object to in the pictures dis
played or the show itself, and should the
company return to Santa Ana, Spur
geon's opera house would not be large
enough to seat the crowd. 1t is also safe
to say that many of the cranks who are
loudest in the condemnation of the bills
would try and secure front seats.
Should the moralists who are SO hurt
because the city authorities permit
these bills to be put up have their
way, it is safe to say that sea bathing
would soon be thing of the past, un-
less, forsooth, some one of the goody-
goodies who are losing sleep over the
injury being done the morals of this
community by the indecent bills, can
invent some sort of desirable cos
tune. Bathing suits will have to 20,
too, unless this is done, and we feel
sure that no one obiecting to the bills
has brain enough to do this.
