"BEHIND THE SCENES. {"

Cleveland Moffat, who spent some weeks with the Barnum & Bailey show and made thorough study, from journalistic standpoint, of every fea- ture of it's workings, embodied the re- suit of his observations in two articles, which were published in McClure's Magazine. The second appeared in the August number last summer and was called 'Behind the Scenes in the Cir cus."
 Writing of the circus life and of the tone of morality imposed on it by the Barnum & Bailey management, MT. Moffat says: Most people have an i'd a that the circus is a free and easy place, and that those who travel with it are a Bohemian crowd, whose leisure hours are spent in more or less riotous pleas ures. Never was a greater mistake made. In the first place, no one con- nected with the circus has much leis- ure; and, then, the discipline maintain ed is more rigid than that of any army. Drunkenness is very rare, and, if de- tected, is followed by immediate dis missal. And in other respects conduct is controlled vigorously. A weeks ex- perience with the circus convinced pie that for sobriety, industry and general virtue and morality there is no other community numbering so many that can be compared with it"
 There is probably no other organiza ton in the field that has done so much to raise the general tone of the circus business as this same Barnum & Bailey show, with which MT. Moffat made his observations. Years ago Manager Bail ey made his stand on the temperance question, and has insisted that his enn- ployes respect themselves and his pat rons. He has always refused to exhibit on Sunday and has made that a day Of rest for his men. Having controlled his employees in this desirable manner, he undertook the more difficult task of keeping his big travelling caravansary free from undesirable hangerS-on out side of the tents. State fairs and all other large gatherings feel the same pressure from without their sphere of control. for where the crowds are there will the human vultures gather. The Rarnum management, however, solved the problem by carrying a force of de- tectives of it's own to supplement the efforts of the local police authorities. In this way it has made sure that no crooks or grafters can follow it through the country, and that no men of that sort get employment on it's forces under false colors. As a result the Barnum & Bailey crowds have been singularly free from all sorts of lawlessness for years

The New Strong Drink investigation.

An investigation by direction of Con-
gress is at present under way. which will
attempt to show the relation OF the liquor
question to the industrial problem. Manu-
facturers all over the country are being
asked for data as to the effect of strong
drink on the workman's producing and
earning capacity, and the whole investiga-
ton is proceeding from a sociological rather
than n moral standpoint.
The final report of the Department of
Labor may furnish splendid material for
Prohibitionists and total abstinence orators;
or, ii ma y disap appoint them and substantiate
Mr.. HuXley's theory that stimulants have,
in the aggregate, no injurious effect on
the Aryan race, but are rather a benefit.
The most Interesting phase of this sta
tistical effort, however, is the way it all
came about. For years temperance re-
formers have urged a government inquiry
into the drink problem and its effect,
ethically and industriaily, on the body
polite. Perhaps the moral side was
presented too strongly. Those who ap-
peared before Congressional committees
in advocacy OF the bill were usually men
and women whose lives have been devoted
to temperance work. 1t is quite probable
that the impassioned plcadings and strong
