Dance at the outrisser.

Dance at the outrisger.
When a small circle of girls turn all
their time and energy toward raising
funds for an object which is greatly
for the public good, it is up to the
public, we think, to lend them every
possible assistance. Every one has pa
tronized benefit affairs in the past
with a zeal which speaks well for their
charitable dispositions. Now comes
the Hui Au Kai, or girls swimming
club, that has conceived the splendid
idea of bringing down the woman
champion from California to enter the
aquatic contests during the carnival
week. This will be either Miss Dolly
Mings, Miss Margaret Brack or Miss
Dorothy Decker who will have to swim
off some race or other first to def
nitely decide just who is the cham
pion. Anyway the Hui Au Kai girls
want $500 to bring her down-there
is no reason why the men should be
the only ones represented. They have
planned, therefore, dance to be held
at the Outrigger Club on January "a

some MISTAKES OF MOSES

Saying that Alexander had a leg
islature which would submit consti-
tutional amendments by which con-
stitutional offices could be abolished,
submission to a vote of the people
would take two years, the term in
which Mr.. Alexander would have us
believe he could "yank OUT not only
the officials occupying these offices,
but the offices themselves. Taking
it for granted, however, that Moses
Alexander, ordained by heaven or
some more than human power, could
abolish every appointive official and
department in the state, then let us
see how far Mr.. Alexander would
come from saving his Wanted one
million a year.
A report from the state auditors
office, showing the expenditures made
by appointive Offices, shows from
October /, 1912, to October 1, 1918,
there was spent by the appointive Of
ficials the sun of $2SS,O36.29 and
from October 1, 1913, to October 1,
1914, the sum of $3O9,281.9S.
The state educational board was
appointed following the legislative
enactment was made upon the adop-
ton of a constitutional amendment
by the voters of this state authoriz-
ing the act. The change was made
by the people who felt that the edu-
cational affairs of the state would be
better conducted by a central board
than by local boards. The change
was made in response to a direct pub
lie sentiment which desired a change
in the workings of the states educa-
tional system. For the period 1913,
up to October /, of that year, the
state educational board spent 3d.
597.16. For the period from Octo-
Der 1, 1913 to October 1, 1914, the
educational boards expenses we're
commission was appointed following
the legislative enactment of 1913.
The act creating it and the tax CON-
mission was passed in direct response
to public appeal. Mr.. Alexander was
one of the most active supporters of
this legislation, and n of the most
clamorous citizens in this state for
a public utilities commission. For
the six-month period between the
time of the public utilities commits
sion's appointment in the spring of
1918 to October 1, of that year the
expenditures of the commission
amounted to $~S,S27.19; the expendi-
lures of the commission from October
1, 1913, to October 1, 1914, have
been $24,6S2.22.

same time and in response to the
same public appeal, spent for the six

THOMAS BRACKETT REED

He would have been but sixty-five
years of age had he lived until now,
having been born October 18th, 1849.
Some of us who know him in his
life time, still, looking back, SC i'm
pressive does he seer to memory that
one instinctively couples him with
the era when there we're giants in
those days"
He was a most masterful man. Of
massive frame surmounted by a head
such as the ancient artists gave to
Hermes, who was the messenger and
first counsellor of Jove himeslf. And
he was as genial and generous in his
estimation of men as he was great.
So genial was he that he would not
clash with a fellow man save when
his plain duty made it necessary and
then he was steadfast as the stars.
Because of overmastering abilities
he had been made speaker of the
house of representatives. There he
found himself confronted by a fight
ing minority that determined to balk
every effort at legislation. Then he
made some rules of his own and
claimed their necessity on the ground
that. the trainers of the government
never contemplated that a vicious
minority could balk legislation.
He proceeded to put his rules into
working form and then the storm
burst over him.
He faced it as a promintory Of
adamant faces the incoming surges
of an angered ocean.
1t was the first time after the war
when the Democratic representatives,
north and south, found full voice.
How the waves Of their wrath
were hurled against him. AS one
after another exhausted himself, like
the tolling Of the Judgment bell, his
voice with its drawl was heard: "The
gentleman is out Of order"
Then another and another would
spring up in wrath and rave against
him, but he was never moved. "The
gentleman is out of order" would
be heard again and the business of

Moses Alexander would have us
understand that all that is needed
is to elect him governor and he can
save a million dollars the first year,
to the taxpayers of this state. APP
parently Mr.. Alexander thinks there
is no limitation to his power, no
constitutional provisions in the way,
no legislative enactments. No one
has yet discovered that Mr.. Alexan-
der has a keener mind than has eX-
Governor Hawley. Here is what Mr..
Hawley said in his speech in Occur
d'Alene on October /, 1914:
Many imagine that the office of
governor confers great power upon
, the incumbent. 1t does invest him
with grave responsibility. 1t gives
him great power in certain directions,
but in matters affecting reform in
the administration of our state af-
fairs, in maintenance of the state
government and state institutions, he
has about as much to do outside of
making suggestions to the legisla-
ture, as the man and woman within
this government has to do with the
government of China. He can make
suggestions if he has a friendly leg
islature = Il = But it is the leg
islature, and the legislature alone,
that is responsible for the %appropria-
lions made to our different boards
of control, and our different offices
and tax rate, and the amount paid
by the citizens for carrying on the
affairs of state is determined by these
appropriations made by the legisla-
ture, and not by any act of the gov
ernor himself"
Contrast this statement with the
claims of Moses; one is the statement
of a man who has been governor;
one is a statement of one who hopes
to be governor by hoodwinking the
people into believing that the gov
ernor has power to do the impossible.
Mr.. Alexander would have us believe
that he can ''yank OUT officials
enough to save a million dollars. He
couldn't "yank out" any officials
whatever. He could not discharge
elective employees, let alone abolish
ing their offices. He could not abol-
ish an appointive office for the ap-
pointive offices are fixed by state law,
He might refuse to make appoint
ments to fill these positions, in
which case the incumbent would
draw his pay until his successor was
appointed.
Mr.. Alexander could not abrogate
any provisions of the constitution,
nor could he declare null and void
any act of the legislature under
which a%ppointive offices exist.

month period of 1918, $~5,113.56, and
for the year from October /, 1918,
to October 1, 1914, ~$S3,187.S5.
The expenditures of the state tax
and public utilities commission were
new expenditures entirely. The ex-
~penditures of the new education
board, with the employment of a
state commissioner of education, rep
resented a heavy increase over the
former cost of paying the expenses
only of local boards of education
when they were in session at the
several state education institutions.
The public utilities and tax commits
sions secured sufficient heretofore
untaxed p bile utility holdings to pay
the expenses of the commissions to
the amount of their appropriation.
These new expenditures were made
in direct response to the wishes of
the taxpayers of the state.
Departments which have shown an
increase in expenditures between the
two periods of October 1, 1912, to
October 1, 1918, as compared with
October 1, 1918, to October 1, 1914,
are the game department, the state
veterinarians department., and the
adjutant generals department. All
other departments show a decrease in
expenditures this year owe last. The
game department from October 1,
1912, to October l., 1913, had ex-
penditures of $43,519.O6, while from
October 1, 1918, to October 1, 1914,
the expenditures of this department
increased to ~$55,367.70; the state
veterinarians department expense in
creased for the same period from
$52,1S9.65 to $@70,777.75. The ad-
jutant generals department from
$21,935.34 to $26,909.09. The de-
creases in other departments for the
two periods were as follows: Insur-
ance commissioners department,

the house went on. At last the tide
against him, bafled, rekreated Ia
menting, and the house of represen-
tatives has forgotten the tri-
umph that the speaker won.
Moreover, when the opposition
came into power they tacitly adopted
the rules that the former speaker
had enforced.
Reed had all the elements of an
orator of the first class, only he
would never try the embellishments
which most orators adopt to accen-
tuate and adorn. their speeches.
The subject he was discussing was
all that concerned him; to bring out
all the facts and from them to de-
mand justice was his way. To make
those facts SO clear that there could
be no installing or disputing them
was his study.
He was born in Portland, Maine,
educated and studied law, then he
spent a year in the west and learned
the methods and needs Of the west.
In congress he performed about
the most eminent services of any
man of his generation.
In point Of service he should have
been nominated for president when
Benjamin Harrison was.
Whether he would have made as
great a president as Harrison did
no n can tell, for really the Har-
rison administration was a most bril-
liant one, though the manner Of Har-
rison was not calculated to draw
friends to him, while Reed was al
ways as lovable as he was great.
No clearer mind than Reeds, no
more genial and generous instincts
than his were ever shown among the
men Of his generation. It was pitt
able that he should have died so
young. for the thought in millions
of hearts was that he must sometime
be the nations chief magistrate, and
the great grief over his death was
that this hope could never be real
lied. He died when at the full
meridian Of his powers and his death
was an unmeasured national loss and
sorrow.

The Dances
OF Today
Mrs. Billy Leon, Boise

During the last deca lie dancing
has undergone a decided evolution.
The old dances our parents enjoyed
have been supplanted by the newer
styles in the same manner as the
changes of vogue in dress. The
stately minuet and hilarious Virginia
reel were gradually displaced by the
waltz and two-step, which in turn
have been abandoned for the one
step, hesitation waltz and maxixe.
The dances of today are a decided
innovation. So greatly have they APP
pealed to the public that they have
been almost unanimously adopted by
the general dancing public. In New
York, where dances were fist shown,
the people have literally gone dane
ing mad. At first the style of the
dances was exceedingly vulgar. The
turkey trot, bunny hug, etc., called
forth very just criticism from the pull
pit, press and some of the leading
citizens throughout the country. But
these dances did not last long, and
now they are seldom, if ever, seen.
Then there sprang up a wide diver
sity of styles caused by different
teachers advocating their respective
methods. This promised to create
quite a confusion for a time, until
in April of this year the Colony club
Of New York City undertook to ia
cilitate matters. This they accom-
plished very successfully in this man
ner: All the leading teachers of
New York were invited to demon
state their respective styles of dane
ing before this club, which is COM
posed of many Of the leading club
and society women. A committee
was chosen to adopt whichever style
they thought was the simplest and
most attractive for ballroom use.
The dancing artists very graciously
responded to the invitation. The
most prominent opponents were Mr..
and Mrs. Vernon Castle, who conduct
the Castle House in New York City.
Their Interpretation of the one-step
was unanimously adopted which in
c1udes the Castle wolk, a creation
of their own. The hesitation waltz
adopted was demonstrated by Miss
Joan Sawyer, which includes several
steps suitable for ballroom dancing.
The make, the very fastest craze,
was taken from a combination Of
steps shown by the Castles and A.
Baldwin Sloan. The tango, everyone
comedies as belonging to Carlos Sc
bastian and his version of that pecu-
liar dance was recommended.
After the committee had picked
out these different steps, the entire
club was convened-the steps again
shown, and moving pictures taken of
those adopted (some of which were
shown in Boise this summer), with
the approval Of the Colony club
stamped upon them as the standard
steps for ballroom use. Now, with
some slight variations in the method
of teaching these steps are com
pletely standardized and one learn

ing the dances as taught in New
York need have no fear of dancing
differently than some one else. Much
of the credit for the movement and
ultimate result is due to Miss Eliza
beth Marbury, a prominent member
of the club, who arranged the meet
ing of the teachers and supervised
the exhibition.
Some realization of the grip the
dances have upon the New York peo-
pie may be derived from the fact
that at least a dozen legitimate
theaters have discontinued, some
turning the downstairs into moving
picture shows and the roof gardens
into dancing gardens. The Aerial
Garden at the Amsterdam theatre is
probably the largest dancing garden
and will accommodate over $50 cou
pies dancing at once. The Jardin
deDanse, on the roof of the New
York theatre, will accommodate 1900
diners and $50 couples dancing. The
Palais de Dance and Joan Sawyer's
Persian Gardens are both immense
creations to accommodate the dane
ing public. Then there are hundreds
of smaller dance halls or trotteries
as they are called, located in the
heart of the city. Admission ranges
from one dollar down and tables
must be engaged days in advance,
when the season is at it's height. AL
ternating with the exhibition dances
of salaried artists the people dance,
afternoon and evening. 1t takes re-
lays of musicians to meet the con-
tinuous strain of playing-these are
usually composed of colored players,
with a liberal use of kettle drums,
tom toms and banjos.
The dances themselves, when prop
erly executed, are the personification
of grace and beauty. The one-step
as now danced eliminates all con
tortions of the body and f1ouncing of
the arms and elbows. The hesita-
ton waltz is a measured and stately
glide mingled with graceful and re-
fined variations-exceedingly beauti-
full to watch and pleasing to dance.
The make is a development of the
most attractive kind of folk dancing,
set to two-step time. It is by far
the most popular of Iall the new
dances. The tango, being mor diff
ficult and also keeping the dances
too long in one place, will never
become popular in the ballroom.
There is no doubt that the coming
season will show a decided change
for the better in dancing. The rag"
is condemned. There will be no
more grizzly bear-no more sugges-
tive close dancing. Couples will not
undulate around in a narrow circle
and close embrace, misnaming this
the hesitation waltz. Instead a vast
reform wave is sweeping over the
country in the name of modern dane
ing, which will purify and uplift the
dancing art, clarity the immoral at
mosphere, eliminate criticism and
eventually give us good clean xer
| else and amusement in an art so
, greatly enjoyed by both young and
old-See Idaho First.
