It is opined that most children see the circus as a beautiful and delightful rather than as a fearful spectacle. It can be said that circus is in its reality no more gross or unsavory than most of the glamorous toys the world admires and covets. But that is an ancient comment. Men have a strong hangover of savagery buried not so deeply within himself, but he thinks it can find very little satisfaction in a circus. The cruelty in a circus is not apparent enough. It finds much more obvious and much more satisfying expression in murder and in the general run of gangster activities.
