A RIGHT MINDED COMMITTEE

In canceling the contract for the minstrel perform
advertised for last Monday, when they learned
= that the show would not up to their expecta
tions, the Municipal Theatre committee did that
which eminenty right; and The Democrat
takes this opportunity to commend their action.
They have an important and rather difficult duty
to perform. Their charge is to give the people
entertainments that entertain, - entertainments
that worth all the money they cost. Even
more than that, this committee is expected to per-
form sort of social service to the community. It
is their duty to to it that all the shows they put
clean and elevat1ng, and not degrading.
And to do this is easy matter. For their at
fractions they have to 60 to whose notion of
what is clean is the current notion of the day.
Too many entertainments which appeal strongly
to the lust of the eye as they do to dramatic
musical sense receive the patronage and approval
of large city audiences. And popularity in the
city carries with it acceptance IN the country.
If one in small town dares to offer adverse crti-
csm, he is put down narrow-1ninded and pro-
vincial. But there is hope for better things The
good people of Milwaukee, under the leadership of
Chief Jansen, have revoted against indecent
tertainments in their cabarets. And good people
the country ought to revolt against indecent
performances on the stage.
The Democrat holds that all exhibitions, of
whatever nature, given in our municipal auditor
ium should be required to be absolutely clean; to
use an expression employed by Theodore Roose-
velt when he was younger and more needed than at
this present, they should be ''as clean as hounds
tooth' And, being clean, they should be SO
clothed and conducted as to conform to good old
fashioned notions of decency. Let this high stand
ard be maintained, and the peoples money used in
the construction of the magnificent edfce will not
have been misspent.
