Present Day Dancing.


The man of no more than 40 even
who has not been to a dance for lo
wears. perhaps, finds that if he wish
es to participate in the festivitles II is
up to him to take few private les
sons. To be sure there Is still the
waltz, the most graceful, poetic ana
fascinating of all dances. But IL is
about the only one left of his old Ia
yorites. And the raggedy moderninl-
ties are pushing that hard when II
comes to popularity, particularly
among the younger set of dancers
Gone are the quadrille, the lancers,
the Lady of the Lake, Portland and
Boston fancies, polka, Newport, ana
other steps which were so popular
few years ago. Very few will at
tempt to assert that the tango, the
rag. the kitchen sink and the dozens
of other freak steps introduced WITHIN
the past year or two are graceful or
good to look upon. But they are
'the STYLE" and that settles it. with
no saving merit to preserve them 70
posterity it is not likely that the pres
ent craze for crazy dancing, II we
may put it that way, will be long,
lived, except in the cheap dance halls
Even now at the dancing schools and
assemblies where some of the less OBJ
jectionable steps are permitted under
strict surveillance they are looked
upon with stern disfavor by most
dancing masters. Let us hope that
dancers will soon return to their nor
NAL senses and also to the normal
dances

Editorial Comment.
Do Lies Never Die?
Fairfield Journal.)

During the last campaign in the
Third District many uninformed cam
paigners and mfsinformed newspapers
stated that John A. Peters had stood
against progressive legislation in the
legislature. Under the searchlight of
truth no instance was disclosed in
which Mr.. Peters opposed honest pro-
gressive legislation, and his support
ers did not fail to nail every lie OF
this sort that was given hard and fast
to the bill board of shame. At the
close of the campaign it was very
well understood that John A. Peters
had been the friend of all advanced
legislation in the Maine legislature
during his terms there. and the count
ing of the votes proved beyond a doubt
that those malicious lies had availed
nothing for their fathers.
New the Lewiston Journal digs UP
the old lie again and comes forth with
the statement that he has Consist
emily stood against popular causes.
There are two proofs that the Lewiston
Journal has given ink to an untruth:
First, it cannot be shown that John
A Peters ever stood against one pop
ular cause that was honest; second,
it is a fact known to the Lewiston
Journal and all we'll informed Maine
citizens that he has so consistently
stood for popular causes that he has
been given a seat in Congress.
These are not unanswerable argu-
ments; they are unanswerable facts.
Cannot the journalistic offspring of
the factual minded Dingley employ
a staff that can find enough facts to
drum upon so that it will not be nee
essary to harp upon the patched
strings of q worn out untruth?

Cottages Swept Away.

That many millions of dollars worth
of seaside cottages and resorts along
the coast have been wiped out for New
Yorkers by one sweep of storm, is cal
culated by engineers who have re-
turned from survey of the wave
damage that will bankrupt hundreds
of homes thereabouts. Whole colonies
of cottages in which families in mod
crate circumstances have invested their
savings are found to be injured almost
beyond repair, while in many cases
not one penny of insurance covers this
unusual devastation of a stormy sea.
Though the professional, hotel, and
amusement men have suffered, with
the shipping interests, losses that run
into millions, it is this staggering blow
to thousands from whom the sea took
their only summer home that is now
exciting the sympathy of the people of
the metropolis. 1t is like the case of
those who have swapped home for
an automobile and then run the auto
into a stone wall.
But this is America, the land of big
things-big undertakings, big chances,
big gains, big losses-and the spirit of
optimism prevails and overrides disas-
ter. The broken-hearted family of to-
day will have bigger, better cottage
next summer and only the memory of
these bad hours will linger.

SCOUR TWO STATES
+. FORBOMB THROWERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Death threats
received by Judge Louis d. Gibbs and
District Attorney Francis Martin, fol-
lowing the sentencing Of nine white
slavers to terms of from twenty to
forty years, today convinced Police
Commissioner Woods that members Of a
gang whose traffic in women extends
throughout the country were behind the
bomb outrage at the Bronx county
courthouse. Wednesday night.
While more than 100 detectives and
policemen were securing Greater New
York and Connecticut for trace OF the
automobile in which 1t was learned def
nitely today the bomb throwers drove
to the courthouse, others, acting under
personal orders from Commissioner
Woods centered their attention on
prisoner named Merino. held in the
Bronx jail.
Merino was arrested with the nine
white slavers who already are in Sing
Sing. The evidence against him was
none too strong. although the police feel
certain he is a member Of white slave
gang, which District Attorney Martin
insisted today, was operating in all the
big cities of the United States, despite
repeated declarations by some Federal
and State officials that there is no or
ganized system Of white slave trafnc
in this country"
Detectives planned today to put Me-
rino through a grueling examination
in an effort to draw from him names
Of members of the white slave gang
who are unknown to the police. 1t
is hinted that il Merino can furnish In
formation that Will lead to the arrest OF
the three men and a woman who eX-
ploded the bombs under the courthouse
and the offices Of Sheriff Hoeffiing We'd
nesday he will be leniently treated.
