many people, particularly merchants
and business men, Just at this time
THE city seems to be dead and m-

known man In speaking of the sit,l-
alton several days ago.
One thing ID certain, and that is
that the public wants It's play A
few days ago II circus came to town
and I'm two performances entertained
about eight thousand people, large
majority OF whom were grown.ups,
and apparently the only reason the
crowds were no larger was that the
tent would hold no more. In these
crowds probably were representa-
tives OF two thirds OF all tho famil-
les on the lower Peninsula. What
more convincing proof could be de-
manded as an affirmative answer to
tho question Of whether or not the
people want circuses?
II was nearly fiye-years ago that
the city council came to the con-
clusion that circus took too much
money out of the community ana
was good thing to keep away.
Since that time shows have visited
Hampton and Norfolk and local peo.
pie have gone away from home to
spend more money than they would
have spent had the amusement been
permitted to come to their own

stantial part of the money collected
from its citizens and, as some ono
has said, Il circus will put IN circula

would be spent. While the old say
Ing Is true, 1t Is equally true that
money paid for circus tickets there
by often escapes use for a worse
purpose.
The present city license upon n
circus is $3.50 per day, the last coun-
Gil having amended the ordinance so
as to greatly reduce the tax. Even
this Is high, for In addition to the
amount paid the city, the Snowman

der the State law.
II the circuses are willing TO pay
the license prescribed by the city in
addition to that of the State, the
present ordinance is all right. but
If the tax keeps the shows away
then 1t seems to be up TO the coun.
ell to take such action as will give
the people what they want.
