Rev. Brougher Thinks Roosevelt
Should Be Worlds Peace
Ambassador

DIR. J. Whitcomb Brougher's quota
tion of DR.. Macarthur in calling former
President Roosevelt 1.-The high officer
of ambassador extraordinary to all the
courts of the world in the interests of
universal and perpetual peace" brought
forth spontaneous and continued ap-
plause at the morning service yester-
day at the Temple Baptist church.
DIR. Brougher spoke on THE Strenu-
Gus Life" and in his Introductory re-
marks on Gideon and his three hundred
warriors, he said:
colonel Roosevelt is the most typi-
cal sample of the strenuous life that
we have in this age. Frequently the
question is asked, What shall we do
with former President Roosevelt?' AS
a matter of fact we would better ask,
What will he do with us?' He is
unique man. AS DR.. Macarthur of New
York recently said: He is one of the
bravest, brawniest and brainiest men
in the whole world today. He is p
practical politician, an experienced
statesman, a recognized litterateur,
mighty hunter, a good preacher, and
a score of other remarkable things.
His energy is well nigh unbounded.
His strenuosity is limitless What shall
Macarthur then proceeded to say that
he nominates him as ambassador ex-
traordinary to all the courts of the
world in the interests of universal and
perpetual peace. No more exalted
mission can be named for any man in
the world today. The time is coming
when the nations shall learn to war no
more.

that as a nation we ought to take a
foremost part in bringing about the
reign Of universal peace. His life is a
fit example for all men and women.
He is never satisfied with past achieve
ments, and moves on to still greater
things from day to day."
At the service last evening DR..
Brougher addressed a large congrega-
tion on purity; or, the Salome Dance.
Is it Fit to Be SEEM" He said in part:
There was recently given in the Au
ditOrium theater a dance. 1t was ad-
vertised as a revival of the Greek art
of dancing of two thousand years ago.
From a few people I learn that some
of the numbers on the program We're
conducive to the higher understanding
of poetry, art and music. But it would
seem that this same young lady in
troduced the so-called 'Salome' dance
on the last might of her engagement;
and I learn from these same people
that there was nothing about it sug
gestive of higher art and morals-eX-
cept to those who rave over the nude
in art. AS matter of fact, the Salome
dance has been tabooed by decent
people in all civilized countries. For
mer President Roosevelt. at a recent
entertainment in Paris, declined to go
and see the play entitled 'Salome,' and
requested that another one be substi
tuted in its place. The young lady
who recently presented the part in Los
Angeles is advertised as the original
Salome' dancer. l all informed that
this same young lady will appear here
in Los Angeles again this coming
week. Personally, I want to enter my
protest against such an exhibition in
any theater in this city. The club
women of Chicago have recently ap-
pointed a stage censor, and have de-
clared most emphaticall.' that Women
have no more right to parade them
selves in diaphanous costumes on the
stage than they have on the street
