Do you believe it pavs to exhibit your beet before your neighbors, friends and strangers? No one seems interest ed. even those who won priaee here tofore? If Scio is not the place for it. where would you suggest? The county fair is close, and if we are to have an exhibit there a community fair must be held hereabout. If it inconveniences you to tell the Tri bune whether it is worth while to hold a fair or not. tell some one else who will, or tell some other news paper, but give us some clue upon which some one can work. The Tri bune asked for an expression last week, but no far everybody's lips have been sealed. Why?

Such fierce and wicked “sports" mark the primeval in man; Civilisation should put them under the bin But note our "cultured" gentry, who thick with stirring glee To these degrading "round-ups ' awful sights to see! Cowboys displaying brute-fore in efforts to subdue Bigger brutes than they are. "refined" folks love to view! Rough, wild, riotous "fun" every savage Instinct loud; Cruel "stunts" by heartless men to amuse a crowd! And the "Queen of the Round up?" What fine honors to wear? Reigning o'er wild revels with deviltry and dare! Her sense of fine feeling must be quite blunted. indeed. And the coarse, primal instinct <f cave woman lead It would surely seem and to her We’ll be fair and just — If only a “crowu" she covets, as all "Queens" must; With true womanly m ii-sty s. -le realms she might rule Without losing her gluty by plavtng the fool! ’Tis really sad when our "amusements" clamor for gore. When sights of bleeding hides moves us not to deplore; When the bellowing cry of a p • >r liea.t Wi its pain Excite no pity, and we can watch it thus slain. When we crave and indulge in such pastimes that degrade. Something's wrong in our texture wr'fe only half made; Or our system of culture and true education Is baaed on false reasoning arid a farce in our nation. All "round-ups" are blots on our fair and beautiful State. For their trend is to lower never elevate When only brawn and not brain we extol to the skies. And violence and fury is out t«r a "prize," We may well be called just a "wild and woolly” lot— Worse than aborigines, and not care a jot. And see our State officials, those g >od. wise (?) public men. Endorsing savage "shows" by their presence, now and then?
