pruned TWO very queSClOnaDle practlCes
from the formal ceremonies of our
government namely, dancing and wine
bibbing. We know not his motives for
doing so nevertheless, we hasten to say
Amen, " for he has incidentally hit
two of the most subtle evils of society a
singing slap right in their brazen
faces. What has Drinking and Dancing
to offer our nation s sons and daughters!
They are twin monsters whose vile
touch destroys the better fabric of human
life. You will find them lurking about
the cross roads of life. There will they
accost the young pilgrim and with
honeyed pleasures of the sense, lure
him from the Straight and Narrow
Way" AS to dancing listen to this
quotation from the Chicago Daily
journal of March ~, in connection with
the nation wide white slave vice probe
now in progress:-'1 Investigator for the
senatorial vice commission ale prepar.
ing reports today on contributing fac
tors to immortality among women which

dances that have found their way from
the exclusive dance parties of society to
the csc dance halls. You will note
here the Shiny feeder that secretly con-
meets the Exclusive Society Dance with
that cesspool of rottenness, the cheap
saloon-dance. Why, say, honor and
dignity these loathsome twin evils by
permitting them to participate in the
high social doing at Washington. D. G?
Our whole nation should say Amen"
to this act of moral courage on the part
of our President. ......
