STREET SHOWS AND CIRCUSES
For quite a while The IlVrald has wished to make home huhkc
tiotiH as to the relative merits of street Rhows and circuses, but has
deferred doinir no until a time that such Rueeestions miirht not ap
pear to have reference to any arrangement that had been made for,
public entertainment m Alliance . .ow that the streel show lor this
year ir a thinp of the pKt and no arranpetnents for another have
been made, we wixh to make our MiipgeNtiou.
Between the ordinary street show and a firnt-class circus there
is really no comparison, the. latter being incomparably better than the
former, for several reasons. The street show in Alliance during
stockmen's convention week this year was considered the best ever
seen here, and is probably one of the b'st on the road, but how does
it compare with the Bsrnum & Bailey, the Sells-Floto, or the Hagen-bcck-Wallacc
circuses, all of which are showing in Nebraska this sea
son ?
In the first place, viewed from the point of the city 'a own inter
ests: The street show takes much more money out of the city, and
consequently out of the ordinary channels of trade, than the circus;
and it draws to the city scarcely a dime 'where a circus would pull
dollars. Tt costs more, to go the rounds of the street show than it
does to see the circus, including side show, and yoi see less less of
i pageantry, less of menagerie, less of athletic and gymnastic perform
ances. In the second place, a first-class modem circus does not have the
objectionable features that so often attend the street show. Some of
. the street hows art a monumental graft, and, to say the least, reflect
. acriously upon the reputation of the cities where they. are put on;
while the best circuses now give a show practically devoid of objec
tionable features.
. Under some circumstances, the largest and best circuses show in
towns no larger than Alliance.. Barnum &, Bailey's, one of the big
gesl on the road, makes the following Nebraska cities this year: Oma
ha, Lincoln, Fremont, Grand Island, . Kearney, Hastings, Fairbury,
Norfolk, Columbus, York, Broken Bow. Alliance is in a class with
some of these citie; as-to population, and better situated than some
.to draw a crowd from outside. We suggest that whatever steps may
be necessary to induce a first-class circus to, visit this city be taken
before the schedules for next year have been made up.
" POST CARD PHILOSOPHY
s f In these days of wonderful printing facilities, gems of thot in
neatly printed form as wall mottoes or on post cards may be purchas
ed for a trifle, but are worth their weight in gold. Here are a few
that may be had for a penny apiece, but arc worth dollars to one who
will profit by the sage advice contained or imptied in them:
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others,
without getting a few drops on yourself.

' MURDER WILL OUT ' -X
We believe it was Daniel Webster who started the familiar ex
t pression; "Murder will out," altho some take it as a quotation from J

.-some things have; recently come to light over in Iowa that seem to
-.prove its', accuracy. Four old men, Samuel Scrivner, Bates Hunts
man, and John ami Henry Damewood, are on trial at Bedford, Iowa,
on the charge of having participated in the murder of a live stock
buyer at Siam, Iowa, forty-seven years ago. The principal witness
against them is Mrs. Maria Porter, residing now at Quitman, Mo., who
was a girl when the crime was committed and is said to have seen
the body of the murdered man thrown into a well. She claims that
she was threatened with death if she ever gave information regarding
the matter.
ISN'T THIS REFRESHING?
k' United States Senator (I. M. Hitchcock will be a candidate for
Te-election next year, at least he will be a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination, and if he receives that will be a candidate against
the republican nominee for election. Ex-Congressman John L. Ken
nedy of Omaha is a candidate for the republican nomination for the
same office, and it seems with fair prospects of securing it. Under
the circumstances it is refreshing to notice the spirit of fairness
shown in the following editorial which appeared in Mr. Hitchcock's
paper, the orld-Herald, recently:
Mlt, KKNNDDY IX TI1K LIST
. Announcement that John L. Kennedy of Omaha will enter
'the republican primaries as a candidate for United States senator
la the first important move preliminary to next year's campaign in
Nebraska. -, The announcement brings Into the field one of Nebras
ka's best-known and most successful citizens, and the sort of a
man to whose political claims Nebraska people are always ready
to give serious consideration.
Mr. Kennedy Is an able lawyer, an enterprising business mair,
an has long taken a keen Interest In public affairs. He la a man
of matured mind and strong convictions which, combined with Ir
reproachable character, marked talent aa a public speaker and a
pleasant and affable personality, make him a foeman worthy any
opponent's steel, whether in the primaries or in the general elec-
tlon. Should he be named by his party to contest for election to
! the senate it would Insure a campaign based on the Issues Involv
ed and not a campaign of personalities and cheap demagogy such
as has occasionally disgraced political contests in this state.
