made some statements regarding
Billy Sunday and his business, what
ever it may be-" ending: "He gets the
crowd and he gets the money, so
we must admit that he is huge Sue
cess, measured by our most modern
civilized and cultured standards"
Did it ever occur to you that Bar
mum & Bailey's circus was a huge
success and that the. mass of people
(of all ages, class and SEX, went to
the show for three reasons-curioS-
ity, entertainment and amusement.
The performers and freaks played
upon the different emotions of the
different people in as many different
ways.
They applauded tremendously or
were silent in aWed suspense, accord
ing to the pictures they saw enacted
in realism, and the fever" of the
sawdust ring gripped them one and
all, and l am not exaggerating when
say that third Of the crowd would
have gladly accepted" the life of the
circus if they could.
Many converts" to the business
were secured by witnessing the per-
Torrance Thus with Billy Sunday.
Few come to him at first to be con-
verted to his business. They come,
first, curiosity; second, entertain
ment; third, amusement. Maybe
some few bugs" on the subject come
to be instructed in some phase of the
bible which isn't clear to them and
imagine Billy Sunday may enlighten
them. After he has them gathered
before him Qike old Barnum), what
does he do? Precisely what the cir
Gus does. Except Billy Sunday, in
stead of real pictures, gives you mag
mary ones. He plays on your emo
tiOns, on your nerves, on your moral
ideas, ETC., ETC., and continues doing

BIG WORDS.

BIG WORDS. - Those big words
again! aha! Somebody has put one
over on The Day Book" was my pri-
mary cogitation as l noted the matter
in Fridays Public Forum, under
the heading of Don't Use Big
Words" amusedly unused, Can it
be possible that the editor of the
much-appreciated Day Book hasn't
seen this thing before" which thing
is probably quite an ancient piece of
word juggling. have it in my scrap
book these twenty years, more or less.
1 wondered at the nerve of William
Greene in sending it to you as an
original composition.
And now, today, am once again
amused-at one c. Podlevner, who
throws bouquets at Mr.. Greene be-,
cause of his CD verbal stunts, though
he expresses doubt as to some (omit-
ting to state which, of the words
used being good English = as per
Webster's unabridged.
Don't worry, Mr.. Podlevner, no.
doubt these words were all found in

so until you are finally as excited as
he is and ready to yell: ''Hurrah for
Billy Sunday! He's all rightp' And
after you get outside you wonder
how you could have made such
fool of yourself. The same as you
wonder how you ever came to go to
the circus manager and ask to join
his circus.
Old Barnum said: "'The people
love to be humbugged," and the
crowds that chase Billy Sunday are
proof to this. The majority of his
audience know full well what he is
as well as he does himself, but they
like the original and exciting time
he gives them and are glad to go to
him.
l, myself, have seen him and ex-
pect to see him again, because he
makes me laugh. His religion is the
least of his ideas He don't accept
Christ's teachings nor follow in His
footsteps any more than do. He is
a shrewd, crafty man; clever enter
tainer and amusing talker. - Viola
