For Clean Shows at the State Fair This is an age in which the peo ple, in their amusements are de manding those tha£ are first- class and of clean morals. In this res pect, there has been an advance up and down the line, so that in the great mixing of crowds that are features of big State Fairs, the de mand has grown and has become imperative for midway attractions that are worth while, and that are clean. That such attractions can be had is a certainty, and this without any loss in the amusement features and shows at a Fair. It is easy to [ demonstrate by the cash receipts that the clean shows are the best patronized at these annual meetings of the people, and those who pat ronize shows that get the reputation of being of the unclean class slip in and out of thedj. and are unwilling I to let right-thinking people catch them in the act. The advance of the times has happily put the mark of disapproval upon such exhibi tions, and it is the rule that the'e get into fust-class Fairs by stealth and misrepresentations. The State Fair of North Coralina 1 is one that proposes to take an ad- • vanced position in respect to bav- j ing none but clean shows on its | midway, and the entire State is to 1 be congratulated on such a deter- . mination. Such has been its pur- j pose in past years, but despite all | precautious some unworthy shows! have been foisted on the people, and the people, as soon as they re- ' cognized this, have raised voices of l protest. Col. Joseph E Pogue, Secretary j of the Noth Carolina State 'Fair, j has announced that at the Fair thi> 1 year he proposes more than ever to be on the alert to keep out un- , worthy shorn s, and the Executive | Committee hns officially gone on , record as desiiing only amusements of a high-class. In the current issue of The Hill board, a leading amusement weekly ; oi America (which is a Fair and Car-nival number), there are many j articles concerning the amusement features offered the public —the tone of these articles indicating j that everywhere the demaud is for | the clenn attraction. The leading article in the issue is by Col. Pogue, j and under the head of "Amuse- h ments at the Fair" he takes high' ground for the best, his article, in j part, being.as follows: "P. T. Baruuru, latt* king of the sawdust arena, uttered an eternal truth when he said 'the people must be amused.' "The Fair midway has come to stay, but not a# formerly—with its rag frouts and its offensive, vulgar platform exhibitions. In former 1 years, Fair managers were always ready and apparently happv to book I their midway aggregations 'catch I as can,' taking promiscuous chances good, bad and indifferent —all in j a jumble. But times have ..under gone great changes, and the public in these matters has followed suit" Reform 'is now a national watchword.in social and ecouomic conditions, and a very different proposition confrouts the Fair man ager in the selection of -his shows j and attractions A shrewd, wilfe awake manager will he quick to in terpret the demands of the people, as the hour has struck for high dar-s display of clean and np-to | date exhibitions, both tree_aud j*id. They must be made to harmonize with advancing civilization, Every where and in every phase of public and private life in this great Chris tian land of ours, the signs of the times poiut with unerring certainty to a widespread revolution in the public mind as to the character and quality of public amusement of whatever kind and wherever given, whether in the theatre, pub lic parks, at street carnivals, race tracks, horse shows, expositions, or State and county agricultural Fairs. It is now the exception, and not the. rule, that all offensive, immoral or questionable shows or exhibi tions, as well as gambling of every species, are not absolutely prohibit ed by the most stringent regulation of the local management in obedi* ence to the universally enlightened state of the public mind growing out of these important social ques tions, a better and higher class of attractions are now being organized end' introduced. The old-time medley of 'bum' shows with rag fronts and dirty female ballyhoo platform spierlers and barkers are beiag relegated to oblivion, to be rapidly succeeded by that which is clean, meritorious and instructive and intelligently conceived, classi fied and grouped with due regard for artistic and pleasing effect."
