Street Fair Has outlived It's Usefulness

Every man, woman and child in Omaha is
proud OF every feature Of the Ak-5ar-Ben fes-
uvties but one. The one feature of which no
one II proud is the so-cslled street fair, which
Is never mentioned except in a tone OF apology
and with a sense OF humiliation.
The street fair has been continued 80 far
year by year by the board OF governors, and
tolerated by the people OF Omaha, only because
relied on to bring in the money needed TO pay
fer the beautiful street parades which one and
ell are invited TO witness without cost In the
beginning the street fair had some instructive
and educational values, IL included displays by
our local merchants and manufacturers, and the
exhibition OF agricultural products of the Doug
las county fair. The merchants booths dropped
cut long ago. and the county fair was crowded
out by the change OF location. so that nothing
now remains but ordinary sideshows, cheap
takers, sure-thins games and rough-house con-
fCtti throwing. There 10 nothing distinctive
about II except It's coarseness, and even as
pioneymaker IL has seen it's best days.
We know we voice the sentiment of the vast
majority Of the people Of Omaha and of the Ak
sar-Ben visitors ~ we'll. when we say the
street fair has served It's purpose far as Ak
sar-Ben Is concerned, and that we have all had
enough Of 1t. We know alec that the board OF
governors would gladly embrace an opportunity
TO let go Of the street fair II only given help
ing hand and in this laudable purpose they
should have every encouragement.

OMAHA. Oct. Ito tho Editor Of The
Bee am a reader Of The Bee and,
being a travelling man. was particularly
interested IN the recent discussion OF the
morals and general department Of trsv-
cling men.
In the first place. 1 wish to remind our
critics that the travelling man is subject
to temptations 10 which the ordinary
business man is immune; Tor instance,
he is away from home. no wife or neigh
bors 70 watch or criticise also he has
q good deal Of time on his hands to dis
pose Of and as he is generally consid
cred sport. everyone expects that he
viii travel on high. Therefore the local
hiGhflyers in towns or around hotels al
ways pick him az a companion. How
ever. firmly believe that the average
travelling man is morally. intellectually.
and even physically keeping up with the
trend OF civilization.
But let me turn TO a subject ! wish
to discuss, and that il the extreme bru-
tality Of a certain policeman which l
was compelled to witness the other even
ing. have noticed time and time again
in various cities that occasionally an Of
aver VI lnt law Will upon Nne tiikuNehl
provocation brutslly attack a civilian
who hiss n sort Of down and out appear
snce. The case 1 refer to was this:
Friday evening on the carnival grounds
o man, slightly under the influence OF
liduor, got into an argument with an
officer. and although l did not hear the
exchange of words, / saw the officer slug
this man In the mouth with terrific
force. no doubt loosening or displacing
number OF teeth. The offender was
then bundled into the patrol wagon and
taken to tho station. where heaven
knows what happened TO him.
am positive that this attack was an
tirely unprovoked and will say that I
could see this officer given forty lashes
with absolute composure, not to say
pleasure. and / would be extremely
sratified TO see all officers who are sub
ject 10 such violent attacks OF temper
removed from the force, as they are in
oaSable OF the judgment and control
which police officer should have.

Of atrocities that arc being committed

the very first Christians of the world
by those unspeakable Turks, who seem
TO be encouraged through German and

of protests and indignation, whenever
and wherever an inhuman act was COM
mitted upon sny subject nation, without
any slightest mark of distinction of

more the press, the pure and principled
press in the United States, is face to face
with a problem that has direct relation
with the first principle OF human law

one OF those courageous sheets that do
not hesitate TO condemn an inhuman act
therefore, l appeal. through these hum
BILE lines 10 you, dear Bee, to the press
In general. TO the clergy. to the laity. and
to the people OF Omaha to raise their
mighty voice and demand through the
medium Of our beloved president. an i'm
mediate cessation OF those rt-rending
butcheries and massacres that the CIV
iliSed world Is sick and tired of wit
Messing. Let US make our protest
audible not only to the neutral coun-
tries. but to the kaiser himself, who is
able to stop those atrocities as q friend
and ally OF the Turk. These are the last
days OF an old nation that stood the
brunt of Turkish yataghans for centuries,
that gave SoooO OF its stalwart sons to
help the Austrians to stop Sultan Pa

Let us not be Christians only by name

emphasize the fact that no other ma

CAN'T AFFORD 1T.


The other day a merchant said
he couldn't afford to advertise in
his home newspaper. If the
mans views were not distorted
he would see that he couldn't af-
ford not to advertise in his home
paper and that not to advertise
was his most expensive extrava-
gance. That same mercha Mt
will spend hours telling of the
unfair" competition of the mail
order houses who are his most
aggressive and dangerous COM
petitors, yet the methods en-
ployed by the mail-order houses
which succeed are the very ones
which the merchant refuses to
use. The mail-order house first
of all is an advertiser. Adver-
Using is the life of its business s.
Every magazine that enters the
small town and rural hone car
ries the ad of the majl-order
house. Expensive catalogs are
printed showing the illustrations
of the actual articles. Occasion
ally sheets are scattered broad
cast over he country as a special
come on" for the bargain hunt
err. Instead of doing these
things in a smaller way through
the columns of his local paper,
the merchant who can't afford to
advertise sits down and "cusses"
his tough luck and wonders why
he can't get the business. He
never thinks he has a better op-
portunity to reach the people in
his neighborhood than the mail
order house has. lt-doesn't cost
him as much as it does the out
slider; he can draw the people to
his store and show them the ac-
tual article he is advertising,
and, when they buy, they can
take their purchase home with
them instead of having to wait
several weeks for it. Advertis-
ing is an investment. 1t should
be charged to your selling cost.
Figure what percentage you
have to pay to advertise, then
base a fifty-two weeks campaign
on the computation. You can't
lose. Yon can't afford not to
advertise.
