1t is reasonable to attribute to those
in authority a. high order OF intelli-
gence and virtue. Yet these are en-
titled to some allowance or excuse for
they have had no experience with them
But after they have once had one in
their midst and have had an oppor-
tunity to see what any ordinary mind
could not fail to see, that they are low
vicious and without a red deeming fea-
ture, and only calculated to debauch
and demoralizc the young, they no
longer have an excuse.
The moral welfare Of community
should be held to be of far more value
than little paltry license derived
from these nuisances. that take away
the hard earned money of many poor
fellow. and what is immeasurably
worse, spread vice, disease and crime.
We don't mind decent circus, or
any innocent amusement or entertain
ment but may the Lord deliver us
from any more carnivaIs.
Self respect, together with due
regard for the morals of community
to say nothing of our obligation TO
the church and to sacred things should
impel thinking men and women to re-
fuse to go about carnival or IN any
way to lend them encouragement And
then the weaker classes ought to be
protected. No town should license one
any more than 1t would a cabling den
or liquor or beer saloon.
