TIE CARNIVAL CANCELLED.

| The Anderson-Shrader Carnival which
had been advertised for the past week
in Custer was called of by the city
council after the advertising was out
Considerable opposition developed
partly because of the experience with
cause of the feeling that the entertain
ment usually furnished would not com
pensate for the money taken out Of the
town. The Board OF Trustees made an
effort TO obtain the sense Of the attitude
of the business men and residents of the
town and called a meeting of the board
on Saturday evening and after a lengthy
discussion decided to cancel the consent
for the carnival to show.
The carnival of last year left rather
an unsavory record. Perhaps the
carnival of last year should not be held
against the one adv ftised this year
even though under the same manage
ment. i may have changed in char
acter Neyeftaeiess discrimination
should be made by those IN authority
between entertainments which are un.
dertaken and where public morals are
to be considered there is a difference To-
be detected in the various public enter
lanments which solicit a town in the
course Of year Then the question
also of the finances is worthy of men
ton. A carnival which carries its tent,
workmen, boarding house, etc, and
apart to itself and expects to take. from
the town several thousands of dollars
should offer something more abiding
and elevatng than fake games, side
shows and merry -go-round with a few
diseased tunes the effect OF which is to
compel people to patronize it at least to
5he extent of listening to it ill midnight,
whether they like it or not AT any
rate the council believes they acted in
accordance with the wishes of the town
aud deserve credit for standing up for
she latest decision to cancel the carnival
privilege even after it had been origin
lily granted.
