Moral Show.

The question, can a circus De d
moral show? has often been asked
and the answer, Yes, has always been
given by the many admirers OF this
wholesome form of entertainment
The organizers Of the Great Floto
shows have answered this question
not by words, but by placing in the
circus field the most moral as well as
the most instructive show that the
minds of successful business men
could conceive.
Founded upon the strictest business
principles and composed of the best
acts that money and brains can pro
cure, this wonderful exhibition stands
out a living proof that a circus can be
made as free from Objectionable feat
ures as the theater or any other popu'
lar place of amusement.

WHAT is oRAroRY?

In an editorial Sunday the oregon
ian reaches this conclusion:
"oratory is useful to anarchists, be
cause it is inhammatory, but orator;
are useless to good government be-
cause EVERY POPULAR ORATOR
is PREsUMPTlVELY AN ANARcH.
lsT OR A DEMAeoeUE."
This fling at oratory is founded up.
on a m~lsconception of the service rem.
dered by the orator, and of the real
function of oratory.
What is the orator? He who voices
the truth ittingly for a great occa.
sion. There must be the opportunity,
the audience, and the man of ability
to express what the multitude wish to
hear.
All great reforms or social move.
ments reach a point where the orator
must appear, a crisis where the mass
es are ready to deliberate, to decide,
TO act.
The man or woman who rises to
fully express what the multitude feel
In their hearts and souls to be the
truth, but which they cannot voice. is
the orator.
The orator may fall below the occa.
sion, may not express the highest
truth, may not read Alright the thought
or aspiration of the audience. He may
descend to be an anarchist or a
demagog, BUT He THEN CEASES
TO BE AN ORATOR IN THE HIGH.
