The modern circus is the hneal de
scendant of the ancient Olympic games
of Greece. The Romans adopted this
form of popular amusement from the
Greeks. The name circus" is Latin,
meaning 4 circle; and it was used to
indicate the place in each city where
chariot races, athletic contests, ETC.,
were held. The circus flourished in
Rome $500 years ago, and for 10 CEN
turtles later. With the decadence of
the mistress of the world came a de-
cline of the circus in character, and
it was frequently debased by revolving
spectacles, such as the throwing of
those obnoxious to the government, in
Guiding Christians to wild beasts.
Doubtless it was this that gave the
church prejudice against the circus,
which is today still held by some ex-
tremely conservative church people.
Within the last half century or so, the
circus in America has moved to a
much higher plane than it ever before
occupied. The exhibitions are unob-
jectionable on the score of morality;
the comfort and convenience of spec
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-05-17

tators are carefully conserved; there
is no more fear of meeting insult or
disagreeable incidents than there is in
attending a lecture or theatrical per-
Torrance. AS a result the old-time
prejudice against the circus as pro-
per amusement for all classes, ages
and sexes is rapidly disappearing.
The love of diversion and harmless
amusement for all classes, ages and
sexes is Unborn in man. To forbid
them is to turn counter to human ma
ture. The Creator would not have i'm
planted this desire for amusement in
mankind were it detrimental. The

this tented style of entertainment,

cage in the baggage car. The cage
stood against a radiator and during
the night the steam was turned on.
When Portland was reached it was
found that the monkey was dead and
there were evidences in the cage of
his frantic attempts to attract atten-
ton. The owner declares Charles was
almost human and there was grief
among the players who had been ap-
pearing on the same bill.
