PROTEST AGAINS |
 CICUS DECEPTION
Many of the Shows Touring State Fail to Produce Ad-
 vertised Items.

of the Arkansas legislature - 19O5-no matter how much graft the members were charged with, they passed one act intend ed to stop graft in others, and protect their constituents in a place where it would not affect the legislators in the least. 4 This act is 272 of 1905. It pertains to public exhibitions, particularly circuses, and if they are so determined, the citi- zens of ansas can get as much out of the shows. touring the state, as the greatest con- bined- three ring and a stage tented attraction ever appearing before the American people, takes from them.
 This legislative act makes it a misdemeanor for the circuses to advertise anything they cannot, or do not produce during the regular performances. It pre- vents the flaming posters from heralding the many headed naon- ster, or some strange beast never before heard of, drawing the people to the tent to view this latest thing in geological fashion. It prevents the adver- Using of acts thrilling, which failed to thrill.
 To Protect the Public.
 In it's wisdom, the legislature undertook to protect the people of the state from Receptions on the part of the circus. Every assertion in the cirsus advertis- ing which is not made good in the performance is a separate ofense, and punishable by fine.
 Since the passage of the act, circuses visiting Arkansas have given no more consideration to the act than though it adorned the outside of the statutes of Arkansas, instead of the interior. No effort has ever been made by the officers to enforce it. If it is an unwise, or unfair act, re- peal it, otherwise enforce it.
 Today there are more circuses and alleged wild west shows touring Aransas than there were colors to Joseph's coat.
 There is the Barnum and Bai- ley combination-the founder of which is given credit for the muchly quoted saying, "The American people like to be hum- bugged."
 The Hagenbeck-Wallace com bination is just leaving the state.
 Ringing Bros, greatest ever, another branch of the circus trust, is soon to arrive.
 Frank Sparks aggregation of tented surprises is cutting wide path through the finances of Arkansas farmers, and playing the smaller towns.

 Wild West Assortments, Too.
 Then there are several small Wild West assortments touring Arkansas and showing wherever they can catch on.
 With all this out after Arkan-. sas coin in one season, it would be only just on the part of the officers that they keep close watch and protect the public just a bit, and get for them a run for their money.

Parlshioner's Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat In
In the Dark.

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and large
field, and in the hope that his reputae
ton would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloQuence at his command.
He was, however. totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli-
ment, but which was put to him In
such a way that 1t left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady. who was one Of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir. We do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are SO In
structve. Do you believe 1t. we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"
