ing account.
Now that we have come through the
experience again. Il Is good time 10
stop and check up.
Menominee has spent since June 1,
1915. for the benefit OF outsiders APP
proxImately $4,000 and has received
in return the joys that come from q
street fair and a circus.
Every man, woman and child In the
city. so to speak. has paid out 81. and
forever said goodbye to each and every
penny thereof.
We got the excitement. and the show
folks got the money.
For that great amount-$25,0 00--we
might have put an additional $4,000 a
year for five years into the entertain
ment and show features OF our county
fair and been able to offer attractions
which would have given us first place
in any county fair in the country
The street fair were good as such
affairs go, the circus was excellent
without doubt, but the fact remains
that TO these folks we are the "easy
marks" the yokels who fall for their
catch-penny devices and provide them
with money to illuminate the great
white ways during the winter months
when the animals. the ballyhoos and
the fat ladies are off duty.
Green Bay got $500 license from the
circus, while Menominee got SIS. The
circus took $4,000 out OF the two
towns.

The declaration gains strength from
the candor OF the speaker. Mr.. Root
lived and worked with many OF these
bosses; he frankly avows they we're his
friends. At the Chicago convention he
appeared on the side which was dom
mated by that type But age and ripe
experience, keen intelligence and a
real sincerity have brought him TO a
wise conclusion. He sees clearly that a
system Of invisible government
spells the end of popular govern
ment and he speaks out against 1t.
During his career the president OF
the New York constitutional conven-
ton confided TO his charge There was
no senator who worked harder for his
state There was no lawyer who work
