"W hy are they so anxious to belittle our exhibition in the eyes of the public? Doesn’t it look as though they were afraid of compe- tition and that the marvelous success of the Ringling Brothers’ Shows, which have come to the front with such giant strides in the past few years, has aroused their spite, spleen and jealousy? ¥ Did you know that these-would-ba dictators claim to have the ex- clusive privilege of exhibiting in Omaha, and that they openly de- clare that they will allow no other show to exhibit here [F THEY CAN PREVENT IT? When did you give any show or showmen a monopoly of the amusement privileges of your city? Isnot such a claim the supreme height of audacity? 7~ Do you realize the fact that the concern in question does not appear in your city for nearly two months after our great exhibition, and that you are expected to wait all that time before witnessing a show? Do they mean to insinuate that you are too penurious to spend the price of admission twice? What other conclusion can you come to? 1 7" Do you believe that any show would spend thousands of dollars in trying to induce you to ‘“wait,” if its name and reputation was such as to make you do so, without their resorting to means so meretricious? Wthat do you think of the calibre ofshowmen who tell you that not to waitfor their exhibitionis toconstitute yourself an‘“unredeem- able chump”? Is there anything in the ethics of decency that au- thorizes such a radical departure from sound sense and good breeding? “ What do you think of an institution that declares with sublime (?) egotism that “other shows simply do not exist”? Is not comment on so colossal a condition of “big head” superfluous? " What do you think of the methods of showmen who offer newspa- pers money to attack the Ringling Brothers’ performances? Do YOuU wwive thaosmis’yat, Such flagrant violators of the proprieties are chagrined when tHE i wspapers, prizing their honor above finan- (“\, cial gain, repudiate these eftorts to stultify the press? l‘IRgT TIME 3% et S = 5 * What credence can be placed in the avowals of showmen who de- i ! 1 100 0 hel" Cil’- clare in April that they are ‘‘coming soon” and now announce { B I a US "]J B [] [] a a anese u 8[3 that they will not visit your city until the middle of September.| In l\MkRIGA [] 100 W hat assurance have you that they will come in September? — cu‘ Ac 15" Doesn’t it seem strange that in view of the fact that the Ringling HISTORY REPEATS TTSETILE".
