ACTION
Taken BY the EIks
Concerning the Midway
Attractions.

When the executive committee oi
the Elks street fair hooked the Mid
way it was assured by Manager Gas
kill that the exhibitions would be
clean and creditable; that there
would be hut one muscle dance, bet
ter known as the couchee-couchee.
Mayor Young visited the Dayton
street fair on the closing day, when
there was only a small crowd pres
ent, and was only able to see the
Japanese and American exhibitions.
The fair was given under the auspi-
ces of the Chamber of Commerce and
the Commercial club. Mayor Young
talked with the executive committee
and some of the prominent citizens,
including the mayor of the city, and
was assured that the shows given by
Mr.. Gaskill were very satisfactory.
He visited Dayton to ascertain the
amount of room necessary for the
shows and the character of their ex-
hibitions.
The notice thai considerable COM
plaint was made uf the show at Co.
lumbus in reference to some of the
attractions on the Midway was i'm
mediatcly telegraphed to Mr.. Gas
kill that he would not be permitted
to bring those Objectionable shows TO
Akron: Mr.. Gaskill replied that he
was held responsible for all the OH
jectiGnablc shows. but the fact was
that he had nothing TO do with their
management, aS they were side al
fractions.
Tuesday night the executive com
mittee visited ali the shows on the
midway. \ meeting was held this
morning at which it~was decided
that all exhibition of muscle, or
couchee-cOuchee dancing. must be
stopped, with the exception of one
show, that show to be composed of
Oriental people, and to be exhibited
To both sexes who desire to attend.
There will be no shows for men
only and back room shows will not
be permitted.
The Executive committee. as well
rs members of the lodge, pride them
selves in the fact hat they have
brought together one of the best ell
tertainments that could be seen at "A
nominal fee. They propos" Ia con-
duct il in Il manner that will give no
otfense 10 any onc.
They realize, how ever that al exhi-
bition or entertainment Of this kind
must be somewhat general or popu-
lar. as it is but natural that alnuse-
ments should be furnished to please
all the people. They expect that
every man, woman and child in Ak
ron will see the show by the end of
the week.

Ill that the national convention will

Governor McSweeney is receiving
the pleudits OF many good citizens
from every section of the State for the
way he is administering the duties of
the Office of the Chief Executive of the
State. He is not only more careful i'll
granting partlOns than some OF his pre-
decessors, but he seems disposed to
check the pcrnicious practice of offer
ing rewards for the capture of crimi-
nails as soon as Il crime is committed.
This has grown to De Il great abuse.
Sheriffs and constablcs in some Coun-
ties frequently seem to defer activity
until the eGovernor offers reward. They
locate their man, get the reward offered
and thus get special fee for Il service
which it is their duty to perform.
Keep MP this line, Governor, and when
you will hive retired from Office. whicl,
we hope will not be until two years
after the expiration of your present
term, you will receive the plaudit,
"well done, thou good and faithful
servant" from every true citizen.
