Chamber Of Commerce seems to
render proper a few thoughts in re-
ply 10 it.
The main statements set forth,
summarized, are as follows: That
police disapproval of carniyals is
merely a matter Of keeping up ap-
pearances; that "unsavory resorts
near the show grounds put the car
nival in the shade" that people
who go solely for the lowest sort Of
attractions offered are bound TO find
their type Of amusement regardless
Of carnival exclusion; that carnivals
should be. censored-not barred;
that they are trade bringers TO South
Bend merchants; aand that 10 the
children they harbor nothing but
clean fun and educational Oppor-
tunities.
To begin. feasible censorship Of
carnivals is an impossibility. Show
managers offer the people what they
want. They have necessarily gone
TO such an extreme that truly moral
conditions can not exist. To adjust
, would mean 70 bar that which at
tracts tGe greatest per cent Of car
/ nival-goers. Then is il advisable 20
adjust? Surely the children could
not bring any profit.
If "unsavory resorts" near the

the "unsavory" attractions at the
carnival put the good attractions Of

Life is not strife for gold
Nor medalled fame,
It's years in joys are told

The roses nodding in the sun,
The children's happy feet.
Some little duty done,
A pleasure fleet.
Life is the Joy of friends
And birds and trees,
The notes the lover sends,
Old memories,
Neighbors and sunny skies,
And little trips TO make,
Tears when q loved one dies
And hearts that ache.
