For the first time in several years, it has been decided
that Alliance's race meet will not be accompanied by a
carnival. Someone is to be congratulated on this decision
and the honors probably are to go to the officers of the
American Legion, who saw that public sentiment was not
no very favorable to it. The Legion is trying to get funds
to fit up some sort of club rooms, and a certain carnival
stunt offered some big inducements if the ex-soldiers
would get permission for them to show here. Legion men,
whether they realize it or not, can get away with things
that other civic organizations would have difficulty in
putting across, and the fact that, even though they could
have put it over, they deciced not to do so is greatly to
their credit. Nearly everybody has a warm spot in their
hearts for the men who followed the flag, and hundreds of
carnivals have been held in Nebraska towns under Legion
auspices, where the citizens and authorities didn't approve,
simply because of the ex-soldiers sponsoring them.
This decision should mark the end of carnivals in Alii
ance. Time and again there has been opposition to per
mitting carnivals to show in the 'streets of the city, but
someone has usually been able to put it over. Some or
ganlzation is in need of funds, and they work on-the city
and county authorities and win them over. Always it is
isaid: "Let us have Just one more carnival, and that will
tt the last we will ask for. We need the money and the
carnival companies always split'
Actually, they don't divide profits. A small percentage
bf the net receipts go to the organization sponsoring these
so-called amusements, and the balance into the pockets of
the carnival kings. There's no way to check their ac
counts. The last one paid ft email sum to a certain civic
organization, and decamped, leaving the streets dirty and
an unpaid light bill amounting to three hundred dollars,

The time was when carnivals were amusement enter
prises. They hit the smaller cities and towns where the
were few bhowa, and they furnished a yaried assortment
of entertainment for the kids, the women and the men,
Today-they are 6imply gambling devices, in which the
average patron has about one chance in five hundred to
Ket anything for the money he spends. There is a merry-
go-round, a ferris wheel, a roller skating rink and a trick
wrestler, and these can be classed as amusements. The
rest of the entertainment consists of doll racks, blanket
booths, candy wheels, and a host of kindred devices in
tendfed to seoarate the crowd from its money. In addition
to this, there is usually a bunch of hangers-on that are
decidedly unsavory. '
If the decision of the American Legion to have nothing
. to do with a carnival this year will have the effect it
should have, Alliance is through with this class of ques
tionable entertainment, from the 'outside, at least, lr

independence was promised the rilipinos years ago,
and both republicans and democrats at one time or another
have made this pledge. Yet we see in Associated Press
dispatches such things as the recent interview with Gen
eral Leonard Wood, who, as a member of President Hard
ing's commission to investigate conditions in the islands,
reports that the natives of Isabella province are quite
satisfied with American rule and not worrying about
independence.
There's a screw loose somewhere. The stories don't
hitch. Military men cannot be expected to be unbiased.
for army officers usually draw such posts as governors of
outlying island possessions. They are nice perquisites,
and the men holding them dnot pay any great attention
to desires of the natives which, if granted, mean they
will have to be given up.
The Philippine question ought to be settled, one way
or another. If the government really believes that the
islands are too important, in a strategic sense, to re
linquish control of them, why not say so? The Filipinos
cannot be contented when they hear of such reports asj
that made by General Wood, or when they are told they
are lacking in education. The greatest republic on earth
cannot afford to hold in subjection any people who are
competent to govern themselves. The competency of the
filipinos has been conceded; their actions show their de
sire for independence, and whitewashing, soft-soaping
reports by a dozen Leonard Woods will not change the
true aspect of affairs. With countless important prob
lems pressing for solution, the desires of the Filipinos may
not seem or much moment, but great revolutions some
times ppring from lesser causes than playing with the
,xul of a race. . -,, . .
