In speech in the Senate few days
ago Senator Smoot, Of Utah, charged that
the Democrats unduly favored the pro-

up the tariff bill. Such a statement as
this comes with mighty poor grace from
Republican, considering the scandalous
way in which they have manipulated the
laws for partisan purposes.

THERE now seems to be no doubt OF
the passage OF the Democratic tariff bill,
which has been finally completed by the
Senate finance committee and approved
by the senatorial caucus. On Monday
az Senators pledged Eemselves to vote
for the measure, and two others who
could not be present al the caucus are
known to favor it. This makes 40 votes,
or majority OF one, with Vice-President
Marshall's vote held in reserve. The
two Louisiana Senators refuse to agree
to vote for the bill because OF its provis-
ion for free sugar.
The bill as il comes from the Senate
committee is even better than the House
bill, as il provides for greater reductions
in tariff rates. The Republicans will do
their best to obstruct its passage, but
eventually they must surrender. and the
bill will undoubtedly become law this
summer.

War On Vulgar Dancing.

Staunton, Va, July 6.-Quite a storm
has broken about the heads some 'of Inc
Younger social set over the new dances
which some have indiscreetly INDUCED IN.
A number of mothers. among the Leading
women of the city, met on July to con-
slider the subject, and through Mrs.
Alexander F. Robertson. daughter OF inc
late Alexander n. n. Stuart, ana mrs.
Z. M. Morris, have issued an appear 10

At the meeting OF mothers the Civic
League and the schools OF the city were
represented. In the address It is said:
"This determination on the part OF
Staunton mothers is not peculiar to this
mace. There is a widespread condem-
nation throughout our land against the
immoral tendency of the times as express
ed in the dances and in the dress OF our
women. and il is a subject that vitality
concerns moi only our social life but the
standing and reputation OF our entire
community, for communities as well as
individuals have characters 10 maintain.
They conclude by saying:

ment of our women and the morality OF
our bows, and we Stanton mothers
earnestly appeal to the fathers and broth
ers and all in authority to come to our
aid, TO protect the foolishness and lgnor-
ance OF youth and the reputation OF our
community"
The good women OF Stanton are doing
what the virtuous women and sensible
mothers of every community ought to do,
namely, make open and uncompromslng
war against the vulgar and immoral and
indecent dances that have lately come
into vogue. The turkey trot, the bunny
hug, the grizzly bear, the grapevine
wriggle and similar suggestive and i'm
modest dances ought not be permitted
under any circumstance nor should those
who indulge in such performances be
recognized in respectable society. Start
ed among the demi-monde OF Paris and
taken I'D by the loose circles OF New
York, these indecent dances have spread
al over the country and are distinct
menace to the purity and virtue OF the
young. While really cultured people
have never permitted the questionable
dances to get foothold in the circles in
which they move-one performance is
usually sufficient many alleged society
folk have encouraged or at least tolerated
them and widespread and growing evil
is the result.
The turkey trot and similar pernicious
dances should be earnestly opposed and
frowned down. 1t is not matter OF lib
crafty or prudiShness-it is a question OF
decency or indecency, purity or vulgarlty.

WHAT an inestimable service President
Wilson has done for the country in ex-
posing the Vaccinations ofthe once pow
ehul bot now despised lobby. For a
full generation the insidious influence of
these secret workers has delayed and
prevented the passage of much beneficial
legislation, and the country seemed to be
up against an evil for which there was no
remedy. BY simply turning the light on,
these providers have been shown to be
sordid and mean, and exposure has rob-
bed them Of every particle of influence
they ever possessed. Men wonder now
why they ever feared the lobby-they
wonder how it ever managed to sustain
itself or accomplish results. Those who
did the secret dirty work of the monop-

and their occupation is entirely gone.
And all because President Wilson

On the Track of the
New Year

YEW YEARS was a long time
N in settling upon Jan. ! as the
4 proper time for it's celebration.
Even now, in Greece and Rus
STA, where the Julian calendar is in
force, New Years does not arrive until
twelve days after the year is we'll on
it's way in the rest of the civilized
world
The ancient Egyptians and Persians
began the new year at the autumnal
equinox, Sept. %, and the Greeks Of
SOlon'S time at the winter SolStice,
Dec q. but in the time of Pericles the
date was changed to the summer sol
stice, June q. The Romans began the
year from the winter solstice until
Caesar changed it to Jan. l. With the
Jews the new year began in September
in civil affairs, but in their eccleSiaSti-
cal reckoning the beginning of the
year dates from the vernal equinox,
March %. And, as this is astronomi-
cally the beginning of spring. the date
is IL logical one, and that of the 25th of
March (25 being more fully rounded
number, was accepted generally by
Christian nations in medieval times as
New Years.
In England Dec. 25 was New Years
until the time of William the Conquer
or His coronation happened to fall
on Jan. ]. and accordingly the year
was ordered to commence on that day.
But the English gradually fell into
union with the rest of Christendom
and began the year on March 25. When
in 1882 the GregOran calendar was
promulgated ana definitely located
New Years on JAN most Catholic
countries adopted it at once, but Eng
land did not acquiesce until 1852.
In ancient Rome New Years day
was given up to feasting and frolick-
ing Sacrifcial fires burned continual
, ly on the affairs Of the twelve gods. All
litigation and strife were suspended.

reconciliations took place, New Years
calls were made and New Years gifts
bestowed. There also originated the
New Years resolution. for every Ro-
man resolved on New Years day to SO
regulate his conduct that every WORD
and act should be happy augury for
all the days of the ensuing year.
On account of the orgies which mark
ed the New Years arrival not only
among the Romans. but among the
Teutonic races. the early Christians
looked with scant favor upon the
whole season. BY the fifth century,
however Dec. % became the fixed fes-
tival of the Nativity, whereupon Jan.
assumed a special sacred character as
the octave of Christmas day.
The giving of gifts on New Years
day has been superseded largely in An
glo-Saxon countries by the giving or
Christmas gifts. but the custom still is
retained in France. This custom was
one of the most ancient and universal
ly observed of New Years day.
The druids distributed branches OF
the sacred mistletoe. The Roman en-
perors exacted gifts, and so did the
English rulers down to the time or
Cromwell.
The world over on New Years it Is
custom to drink to the health OF
ones friends.
The custom of making New Year
resolutions and turning over new
leaf" is universal and, like political
platforms, is as much honored in the
breach as in the observance. But the
temptation which surrounds frail hui
man beings in this wicked world are
many and insidiOus.
What a menace to our comfort,
What reproof to him that boasts.
Those habits that. discarded.
Haunt our presence still like ghosts!

We have between the average and

average farmer is due wholly to con-
ditions which he can easily control

by reason Of unscientific methods Of
farming is a thing Of the past.
Our farmers can grow easily twice

This increase would pour many mil

man on southern agriculture, says, in
summing up a most excellent editorial
on Lime in Southern Feeds" I'VE
have shown: (1) That our soils are
not deficient in lime as regards the
plant food requirements Of our crops;
(2) that plants grown in the south
have as much ash as the same plants [
grown elsewhere, and that the feed1
crops of the south, especially the
legumes peculiar to the south, contain
as high a per cent. of ash as thu
feed crops Of other sections; (3) the
typical southern rations are thos
made up Of typical southern feeds ami
contain more ash than typical north
