deed that seems just now to be

slble to talk to a man on any
matter of business without be
makes reference to the stock
meet. Indeed the new era oi
things in earnest, seems to date
from stock-meet time. While
enterprises Of great moment are
going steadily forward, and
new buildings are beginning to
make strange afternoon shadows
there is something to come that
scents as from afar. Its the
meeting-the annual meet of
the Western South Dakota
Stock Growers Association that
is in the air, and there is a
something that tells them all
that it's going to be the best in
the history Of the association.
It can be safely estimated
that there will be al attendance
Of fully 10000 outside of the
natural Environments Of this
city, and estimating that at
five thousand, the city will have
to care for at least one day of
the three, more than fifteen
thousand visitors.
1t is something to do, fellow
citizens, but you have been
equal to it, and you are more
spendidly equipped to-day.
Rapid City and it's citizens can
take care of twenty thousand in
a royal manner. All latch
strings, however humble, are
hanging on the outside, and
Rapid City was never better
equipped to take care of
strangers within it's gates than
it is to-day. Its estimated hotel
capacity is 1900, including
boarding house and its private
houses will do the rest. and
they will all call attention to
the growth Of Rapid City.

SOCIETY WOMEN
PEEK AND ARE
GREATLY SHOCKED

%ew York, Jan l1-Fifty young women
were shocked into flight last night when
they secretly witnessed a performance
given by the dancing girls at dinner and
entertainment OF the Cloth Spongers' I'm
ion In Reisenwebers restaurant on Eighth
avenue.
Besides this dinner two others were
given at the restaurant. One was a
beef steak dinner to Miss Florence Dur
ner given in honor of Miss Florence
Bear, of the hotel Netherlands.
The women guests at this last dinner
all well known in upper east and west
side social circles-were first to arrive.
They threw off their wraps in the cloak
the lobby.
When the cloth spongers arrived
few minutes later they notified the
management that they had arranged
vaudeville program and asked II there was
not some other way than by the lobby In
which the performers could enter. When
told there was not. they said they would
not be responsible for what might happen.
Shortly afterward the first OF the per-
formers arrived. she was babe Briel.
Oriental Dancer" She paraded into the
Lobby from the dressing room adorned
In spangles and a smile Next came a
Spanish dancer, Miss La Blanche" de-
scribed on the program as 1.-The real
thing: then followed several others The
dancers apparently had a dislike for
clothing. or else their wardrobes were at
the spongers.
In less time than II takes to tell the
dancers had the lobby 10 themselves. The
society women had decided IL was time
for them 20 retire TO their dining halls.
But they were curious, and through
cracks I'm the doors they watched the
dancers enter the hall in which the
Spongers were.
Soon the weird music that accompanies
the coochee- -coochee was waited from the
Spongers room. Only a screen barred
the door from the lobby and the Harlem
society women could hear shouts OF
Great She's the real thing!' and
Bring back the same girl
IL was too much The spirit OF Eve
took possession Of tho women and a dozen
OF them tip-toed across tho lobby and
peeped through tho screen. Soon they
were Joined by others. until tho lobby was
hlled only those I'm front could see.
Babe" Briel was I'm full motion.
The Oriental dancer suddenly ceased to
DANCE and told a story which caused the
Spongers TO roar with laughter, but Har-
lem society fed. IL did not again at
tempt 10 see the show.

Trial Marriage Idea
Like a Firebrand

that they eXist7-Mrs. Parsons proceeds
10 consider possible suggestions for their
ameliora tion:
In view Of the necessity of conjugal
reciprocity OF rights and duties for per-
sonal development. and OF mutual affec-
tion and respect for enduring monogamy.
sexual choice becomes a very important
matter. matter needing mature tudg-
ment and therefore precluslVe of very
early marriage. IL young people were
more carefully and reasonably educated
for the functions of marriage and parent
hood. they could undoubtedly be fitted
AT an earlier age than they are now for
the exercise of these functions. An abd-
ing argument against early marriage lies,
however I'm the differences of sexual
choice at different ages. When sexual
choice resulting I'm sexual intercourse and
child d-bearing occurs after maturity. men
tai and moral are more apt than merely
physical traits To influence the choice. and
therefore, according to the law of sexual
selection, TO be propagated in the off
spring
Moreover. the development Of these
traits I'm the parents. enables them to pro-
vide more carefully for their children than
immature parents. Here we are face 60
face with what Is perhaps the most diff
cult task. and what promises to become
one OF the most puzziing problems OF cur
rent morality.
How can we discourage carly marriage
without fostering worse social evils? Here
we arrive at the sentences which is the
head OF Mrs. Parsons offending.
II would therefore seem well. from this
point OF View. 10 encourage early trial
marriage, the relation TO bo entered into
with a view to permancy but with the
privilege Of breaking II if II proved un-
successful. and in the absence of of
spring. without suffering any great de-
gree of public condemnation.
Mrs. Parsons Is not one who speaks
without authority on sociological topics.
She is a woman Of learning. a doctor OF
philosophy. and for six years she was a
lecturer on sociology AT barnard college.
Moreover. a. is interesting TO note that
I'm the preface to The Family" she links
Prof. Franklin Giddings of Columbia. with
herself I'm the authorship of the suggestion
OF trial marriage. II is probable that
neither she nor Prof Giddings foresaw the
outburst OF censure their cautious and
tentative proposal has evoked-a far
louder outburst than that which greeted
a similar suggestion once made by George
Meredith.-EX.

the congressional party which went to
Panama during the holiday recess TO in
spect the big ditch and learn for them
selves the situation with respect to the
employment OF Chinese labor on the canal
have returned TO Washington enthusiastic
over the work which is being done
In the party there were, besides Senator
Flint of California. several members of

cussing the labor problem and the work
which is now going on, Representative
Mckinney OF Illinois, who was a member
or the party said:
I'VE found TO our entire satisfaction
that the Panama canal can and will be
dug without coolle labor from the Orient.
There is absolutely no necessity for the
