CARNIVAL IS DISSEMINATING
Sentiment Against Cheap Attractions
at Annual Fall Festivals.
CHIEF DoNAHUE GIVES VIEWS
He Declares that the sO-Called
street Fair Has Outlived the
Purpose for which IL was
Originally Designed.

Indications point TO the fact that the
public is with The Bee in it's advocacy
Of doing away with the street fair and
carnival features of the Ak-Sar Ben week
Of fall festivities. The editorial in the
Sunday Bee denouncing the immoral
character of many OF the attractions OF
the street fair and the acts of rowdysm
upon the grounds was generally dis
cussed, most people commencing The Bee
on it's courage to take a positive stand
in the matter.
Discussing the street fair features Of
the Ak-Sar- Ben festivities, Chief Of
Police Donahue said:
The Bee is right on the position that
1t has taken The street fair has out
lived the purposes for which 1t was in
tended and ought to be cut out. 1t has
degenersted until 1t has become a place
where the tough element of the city
congregates, taking liberties that would
not be tolerated for an instant on the
streets of the city. On account of the
numerous characters VINO go upon the
grounds, the respectable people of the
city generally do not care to visit the
carnival. Each year the conditions seem
to grow worse
The police are assigned to the grounds,
but we cannot spare enough of them to
maintain order, especially during the
evenings when the large crowds are In
attendance.
Demand for Cleanliness.
I'm my judgment it is time to do away
with the street fair features and pro-
vide the town people and the visitors
with some kind of clean and wholesome
amusement. The parades are splendid
bat the carnival features are decidedly
bad"
Secretary Burgess or the Board of Edu
cation said:
THE street fair has become blot upor
the annual festival week. Another one
should not be permitted, In fact, the
whole thing has become fake made
up of lot of the cheapest kind of cheaI
shows. giving a lot of irresponsible par,
ties an opportunity of quilting the people
out Of their money.
This however, is not the most obiec-
tionable feature OF the street fair. Each
year the shows are attended by thousands
of school children, They 20 to these
places and there witness shows and SEE
pictures that are of the most degrading
kind. Their young minds are poisoned
and no one can tell what the result may
be on future lives of these boys and girls
Then. too, no man or respectabilitS
cares to take his wife 10 the place, as she
is almost sure Of being insulted by tbs
roughs who congregate upon the grounds
apparently running things TO suit them
| selves.
by all means, the managers of the
! Ak Sar- Ben festivities should do away
with the fair features that have become
disgusting TO the respectable people OF tho
city"

MOST EXPENSIVE LABOR
(Gassier's Magazine)

t0dsSieT MaBdZlne)
The crew on deck of the Mississip-
pi packet boat, which leaves port on
boats, and is commonly called roust-
about, has gradually increased wages
on the tributary boats; formerly $40,
now 500 per month; on the New Or
leans, Bayou Sara and coast packets,
formerly $50, now 800 to $120 per
month; and these figures are net, as
all crews are fed on board at the
boats expense. The roustabouts Meth.
er load nor unload boats at New Or
leans; this is done by the longshore
or levee laborer. Labor on levee, to
handle cargoes shipped out of New
Orleans, formerly receiving 25 cents
per hour, now get 80 cents. Discharg-
ing on levee of incoming cargoes, on
cotton was formerly 6 cents per bale,
and is now cents, and all other class
es Of shipments in the same proper
ton.
After the bags are stacked up on
the boat the roustabouts sleep, play
claps, ETC., doing no work until The
next terminal is reached. This may
not be for several hours; hut the
wages, like interest and taxes, still
go on. There is no manual labor in
what might be called the civilized
world is so expensive.
