LID IN THE WRONG PLACE.

The Minneapolis city council is
about to put the lid on the merrN-go-
round, and hereafter the dcnizens OF
tire Mil! city will be obliged to seek
some other form of amusement for
the summer evenings. or go without

If this particular amusement fea-
ture we're to be suppressed on the
ground that the noise which accom-
pan:es il is Il nuisance. there might
be some basis of action. ISut unless
there is something wrong with the
am,scricn. itself. or with the partic-
ulal. manner i'll which it is conducted,
ITS suppression in the interest of NOR
niity is scnseless.
We take it that complaint has been
made thai evil persons take advantage
Of the fact that the merry-go-round
is a rather popular thing which at.
tracts crowds. TO inveigle young peo-
pie into ways that are not good. AS
the simplest way IL of the difficulty
the machine is Il be hanished, and
the authorities fondly believe that
they will vanish evil with it.
The thought does not seem to have
occurred in this connection that when
young people can nc longer gather
round the revolving machine. listen
to the droning of the musical ma
chine, or ride tho toy horses, they will
do something else. They will go to
the dance hall. to the picture show,
to a quiet corner in the park. or will
walk up and dow the street. in any
of which cases they will he subjected
to the same evil influences which the
authorities appear to fear in n
ton with this one amusement. What
will ne done then? Will the dance
halls and the picture shows be closed,
the parks cleared, and people be pro-
hibited from walking on the side
walks in order that their morals nay
not be sm;rched? Unless this is done
allowed to gallop along. for no good
will be accomplished by their Danish
ment.
People cannot be made good, or
kept good. by being deprived of
amusements which are in themselves
neither moral nor immoral, but SIM
ply immoral. The ordinary alnuse-
ment has NJ moral qualities whatever.
1t is good or bad as it is we'll or Ill
used. and any amusement, no matter
what. can be ill used. 1t would be
foolish to say that no person should
be permitted to play cards because
some people gamble with cards. We
may prohibit gambling hut it would
he futile to attempt to stop gambling
by destroying all the playing cards.
Persons who wish to gamble can find
a thousand things on which to risk
their money. and in the absence Of
cards they would bet on the weather
or any other subject that happened
to present itself.
If the Minneapolis council wishes
to improve the morals of the city it
will have to take other means than
the suppression of one particular form
of amusement.
