Reform Dance and Dress

II the ladies will permit word, we should
like to say that their crusade against this al
legged immortality in dress and dancing be
very greatly simplifed In the first place no
concert of action Is necessary where dress is
cerned, for the mothers can always regulate that
themselves. For our part we have nothing
In Staunton that even approaches immodesty
and we do not think II likely that shall. The
girls here are as modest as they are pretty. We
see signs of change in the wrong direc-
tion.> This leaves us with the dancing-especial-
ly the tango, against, which special protest
was launched in the manifesto of the Civic
club few days ago--and as to the tango, we
quite there must have been misun-
dersta nding. This dance, far from being fast
and furious lending itself to improperly of
any kind Is a very solemn and stately affair
set to the syncopated Spanish music and utterly
unlike these trumpery one step dances of which
tango from solicitudes. 1t will neevr. in
Objectionable
The fact is that none of these one step dances
Is inherently inevitably vicious. Like any
other dances they may be made violent sug-
gestive at the within of the dancer. That may be
said with equal truth of the waltz or the two
step. They can all be made fmmodest If the
participators will have 1t so. and not otherwise
We occasion for the movement In ques-
ton. The Staunton girls all right. Little
extravagances in the matter of dress-if such
there be--can easily be checked by the head of
the family, and for the dancing that will be a
matter of individual regulation long as we
have any dancing at al-Staunton News.

he effected a saving of hundred dollars a day

he saved the city $4,000 on the cost of police
uniforms; the saving in the electric department
amounted to s1o7 900 and 500 900 was cut from
the city gasolene bills by honest inspection of
the lights and insistence upon good material.
The Baltimore sun enumerates some other saw
ing by the mayor as follows:
by requiring the gas company 10 keep the
ciiys gas lamps up to requirements the neces-
tnty for extra lights was done away with and
the amount paid for them was cut down from
$4,000 in 1914 to s34. 900 in 1872.
In wages of bridge watchmen $170 600 was
saved
The water bureau was reorgantzed and its

In the bureau of supplies expenditures there

ing what BIankenburg has done for the bust

His administration has practically eliminated
graft waste and incompetency in the City hall

by politicians, for politicians. Politics" says
Mayor Blankenburg should have no say In the
administration OF a great municipality" II
should have no say in the administration of any
municipality. Running a city is business not a

An Embassy OF Peace.

An embassy of peace In the 16s Indian tribes
of the United States, under the auspices of the
federal government, started June 9Th an
itinerary covering %. 042 miles and Is cheduled
to return to Washington December 9Th. This
expedition of citizenship" will visit eighty nine
Indian reservations. and at each will hold cere-
monies similar to those used on Washington s
birthday last February when President Taft
laid the cornerstone of the Indian National Me
mortal Fort Wadsworth. The idea Is to
reach practically all the men OF the tribes. arouse
their patriotism and get them to expresses the
same sentiments of patriotism expressed by the
Indian chiefs on that occasion.
In carrying into effect this idea the latest ap
pliances of civilization will he brought into use,

great trumpet of the phonograph, greeting the
Indians no longer as the children of the Great
White Father at Washington, but brothers

Secretary Wilson.

Almost everyone will sympathize with Score
tary Wilson because of the attack made upon
him in the Hearst papers. The yellow journals
of that yellow journalist are continually knock
ing the present administration, which Is too good
to please Hearst any of his breed.
1t seems, that Secretary Wilson made public
the facts connected with his arrest when he re-
ceived his appointment to the cabinet. 1t Is
impossible that the president should have been
ignorant of it. and yet. he made the appointment
without hesitation, and has appeared to be well
pleased with him cabinet officer. Mr..
Bryan, too. has kept well posted upon labor
affairs If he Is satisfied to sit in the cabinet
with him it is not likely that Democrats will be
disturbed by Mr.. Hearst's Observation-Disclosures

The Two Per Cents.

In the currency bills provision for the retire
ment of the bond secured bank notes congress
in effect says TO the national banks You must
take per cent bonds for your 2 per cent. Cir
culaton based national indebtedness IS
agreed to be of the main faults of our
monetary system. Everybody favors retiring
this currency and relieving the system of these
bonds But by what right does congress name
the terms the banks shall accept, except the
right of force majeure? The banks and the
government convenanted, respecting the 2 per
cents that they should carry the circulation
privilege and further be available security for
public deposits. The value of these privileges.
in dollars and cents. being a question, how does
1t happen that one party to the arrangement de-
clares what it is regardless of what the other
party may think--that per cent with no
privilege simply an investment is equivalent to a
2 per cent with the privileges. The present ten
dency of the twos to melt below par indicates
that there IS another opinion than the arbitrary
one expressed by congress-Providence Journal.
