Moroccan CorruntInn

Two main evils in Morocco are the
corruption OF Moorish Off Gals and the
degradation OF Moorish women. The
Moorish officials are inadequateIy paid
and are liable at any moment to be
stripped and cast into prison at the
caprice OF their overload The natural
result is that they make hay while the
sun shines, and by their "pickings''-
provide against the evil days which
are almost certain to be in store for
them Says a writer: Before they
take Office they may be honest and
kindly men, but the knowledge that
they may at any moment fall victims
to higher power quickly corrupts
them, and they proceed to do as they
are likely to be done by. Each off,
cial preys on the one below him, but
while each, for short time at least.
enjoys power and prosperity, the poor
peasant is squeezed increasingly"

SUNDAYS SHOW

Mr.. G. v. BroWn, one of the
advance men of the Wild West
Show, was in Elko yesterday after
noon. He had a conversation with
us in regard to the opposition to
the performance on Sunday. He in
sisted that the show was edlca-
tional and had none Of the circus
features. The law compelled it to
stop and feed Its stock between
Winnemucca and Ogden and Elko
was selected as the feeding place.
He said that the parade would not
take place until IL o'clock, after
the morning service in the
churches. He thought the oppnsi-
ton to the Sunday performaL ce
was not based'on sound reasons rs
the show is decidedly educational.
The unloading of the paraphernalia
was a show in itself and this had
to be done as the law compelled
the feeding of the stock.
Mr.. Brown was earnest in his
argu rents and struck us as being
sincere.
