there is no reason why they
should not make the attractions
of their services SO superior that
everyone will flock to them, and
the Fair would be deserted on
Sunday, even if allowed to open.
Perhaps they draw the lesson
from past experience, and note
that without any counter attrac-
tions they have never yet been
able to attract one-ffth of the
people of that city. The propo-
sition is a confession of weak
ness on their part, which they
ought never to have acknowl-
edged. Morality by compulsion
lasts only while the force that
cempels it is applied. The asso-
citation that claims a moral force
behind its teachings, and by its
acts stultifes its own claims, and
thus openly acknowledges that it
has no faith in itself, is losing a
large part of the power for good
it ought to possess and WELD for
the public good.

It is often the case that the
local newspaper, which does more
tor a town than any other agency,
is the last to receive encourage
ment and patronage it deserves.
Yet it is expected to use its best
efforts at all times on behalf of
local enterprises, and to find its
chief reward in the consciousness
of doing good. .-Sacramento Bee.
