All this could have been so easily and so sensibly avoided. The chances arc that such a thing would not have happened except for the demoraliza tion and influence of "carnival," which the city authorities licensed against the wishes of the i>eople of the community. The city may need money, but li censing "carnivals" is a mighty poor means of raising money, as has been demonstrated in this case. Throe hun dred dollars was the amount of the license charged. This amount was cut down to $250 by the city autho ties after the ?'carnival" had come in here.
