"Au- burn is a better show town than Syracuse." There was a wallop at Syracuse! The largest percentage of Auburn's semi-permanent population Is in the State Prison there. J. J. intimated his firm Is going to get rid of the Welting. ' Maybe Just as an excuse for Jake and Lee never to go to Syracuse again. Syraewoa "Oag" Ruined "No public for high-class attrac- tions," said J. J., omitting to explain that not so long ago Syracuse was getting legit attractions no one knew as to their class until after shown here. The majority didn't ctoss. A critical observer gives the fol- lowing causes for the decline of this Salt City that was as a show town that is: OoM-bricked to death with tur- keys. * Publicity that mads the Welting look like a fire-trap to the readers.
