RAGGIN' 1T. AT a recent local
dance there was considerable Ill
feeling engendered over the inter.
probation of Tagging it." The floor
managers h d declared sgains
the rag dances" Some of the
young people attempted number
of the new dances and were prompt.
~ warned to stop it. We would in
terpret quite a difference between
the usual Tagging it" and the new
dances. Some of those who attem pit
the new dances rag it" most dis
gustingly. Others can do the new
steps very we'll, and they make it q
very charming dance to watch. We
believe that those who can do tbs
new steps, aad those who are really
trying to learn them, should be al.
lowed to do so. There is certainly
nothing immoral about these dane
eS. 1t seems bit narrow to con
denim a dance just because it is
new. In our neighboring cities they
have hired professionals to demon
strate the Castle Walk, the Maxixe,
etc., at their public and private
dances, and these demonstrations
have been highly commended by
old and young. Some of us. per-
haps, feel too old to "cut up these
new capers." but let's not have this
prevent US from letting the young
people enjoy themselves in this re.
spect. We don't want them to feel
like "Rubes" when they attend an
up-to-date dancing party. It's all
right 70 be stern against the dis
gushing, catch-as-catch-can "r g.
cling it." but we see no reason for
discouraging the young people from
attempting to keep up with the pro-
cession in their dancing when it is
as moral and as wholesomely enter.
tanning as any of the old style
dances.

WAR. The war of ten nations
shows no sign of a let-up. Neither
side appears to be making any de-
cisive Roadway. The United States
still maintains its strict neutrality.
Let ne pray that nothing may come
up to alter this attitude. Public
sentiment is the main thing to rely
on in this. An incident such as that
which occurred in a harbor of Tur.
key, should it have more disastrous
results, might quickly spread &
flame of war sentiment over the
country which would force the ad-
ministration into war. This is what
must be guarded against. Do not
let a swift wave of temper carry
away reason. The seas are dotted
with war ships, all alert for the foe;
harbors and channels are full of
mines; every European soldier is
fired with an ambition for a soldier s
fame. Under these conditions any
representative of a neutral power is
in danger while in the war zone.
Although each of the waring ma
tons will do all in it's power to
guard against mourning the enmity
of the United States, an accident
might occur which, on first sight,
would appear to call for more than
an apology. Should any such Incl
dent occur. keep cool. Let it be in
yestigated fully before sentiment is
aroused. Keep neutral. K e p
PEACE.
