CAN'T FOOL ’EM ANY MORE.

Col. Heck, the carnival man who exhibited in Logansport and Monticello recently, is talking of bringing suit at the former place, for “injury to his business.” Commenting on this the Logansport Pharos says, among other things: The manner in which “Colonel” Heck’s “business” has been injured is not hard to see, but just what grounds for action he has against anyone is difficult to surmise. His business is falling off doubtless because people have outgrown the carnival habit. As Lincoln once said, “You can fool all of the people a part of the time; you can fool a part of the people all time; but you can not fool all the people all the time.” An aggregation of fakes called a “carnival’’ is no exception.
