MORAL PROGRESS

Mrs. Cyrus Niver, member OF
Pennsylvania state moVing-picture
censorship board, has rendered ines
Unable service to all humanity. Call
ed upon to censor a romantic film,
she found five yards thereof devoted
to the kissing of a young woman by
young man. The parties chung and
stuck and stuck. and chung for five
long yards of that film, in the pres
ence Of growing girl and boy spec
tators. Mrs. Niver called a halt
no, not halt, but breaking loose
and ordered that hereafter the kiss
should be but one yard long.
The length of the kiss is thus
legalized. 1t remains only to estab-
ish the depth and the width. Of
course this Pennsylvania decision
applies only to kiss upon the lips.
Gents roaming over the lady's face
will have to wait for further action
by the censors. :
A decision in this matter of length
of OSCILLATION is an innovation, but it:
will prove to be beneficial one. The |
tendency of the times is to extend |
the kiss to unreasonable length, a
step toward the spelling of a good
thing for which the stage is largely ,
responsible. Indeed, we believe
there has been competition in this
matter and record of one mile, $50
yards has been established.
Mrs. Niver probably based her de-
cision upon knowledge that the value
and effect of a kiss depend not so
much upon length as upon the form,
expression and skill in depositing it.
A little Pinch kiss may set family
afire. A kiss five miles long may
mean naught save sufferanee and en-
durance. So, it is well to have a leg
allied length, in order that impress
sionable spectators who have to sit
and watch it and get none of it may

Our garh here is not so much to initiate

Just the moment one throws aside ordinary
clothing and puts on this little costume one

want Not a muscle is bound or hampered,
not an articulation contracted. We are at

is positively amazing how quickly a pupil
becomes natural and rhythmic under the In
iuence of the costume and the closeness to
nature.
"You see, It isn't that We have SO much
to learn to acquire rhythm; It is a matter of
laying aside all our stiff-necked Puritanism
and forgetting the artihcialties which wrong
training and false ideals have developed in
all of us. We must get back to child move

pretty girls clad In the lIshtest and
alriest manner, dance about the woodland
slades like nymphs and dryads."
TTHE fashion of shedding superHuous
clothes, in order to get back to nature,
- has spread widely over this country
during the past Summer.
Our woods have revealed many charming
archaic scene, suggesting the play of the
nymphs and fauns in Greek mythology. 1t
simply means that our social leaders and
debutsntes are "pFseticing the rhythms" and
getting back to nature.
The great secret OF acquiring a strong
and beautiful body, according to those who
teach "rhythms," is to move rhythmically
The elementary way to acquire rhythm is to
move naturally, like the animals. The most
perfect form of rhythm is obtained by a
beautiful dance.
Now you will understand what is happen.
Ing when you see lightly clad young women
engaged in graceful dances, while others are
hopping about, running and leaping, granting
and squealing like young animals.
All of them are as lightly dressed as
weather and the circumstances permit They
usually wear a light, loose robe reaching
to about the knee. They go with feet, ankles
and arms entirely uncovered. They wear
nothing to restrain their movements at the
throat or waist. When they want TO walk
on the road they may wear sandals without
stockings, but as rule they go completely
barefooted.
Have you ever watched an animal at play
and realized how perfectly graceful and
Thythmical its movements are? Many per-
sons have never thought Of doing such a
simple thing. Then let them compare the
movements Of the ordinary woman, bound
up in her eorsets, her high-heeled shoes and
all the other paraphernaia of fashion and
civilization.

The home of Mrs. Thomas O'Con-

Mrs. O'Connor and daughter, Marie

the house late Saturday night to at

to spend the night while John and q
boy friend returned to the O'Connor
home after the practice at the opera
house. They did not notice anything
out of the way when they went In
and being tired they retired at once.
In the morning John noticed that
some of the bedroom doors were op-

discovered all of the bureau drawers
open and the contents on the moor.
A gold watch belonging to Miss O'Con-

clothing in his mothers room. James

in tho ueighb0rhood of De!oit, and
later in Denis0n. M. Wright depart
ed this life recently in Oklahoma.
where he was residing temporarily.
M. Wright was prominent char
actar in the county forty years ago,
aud tor a number OF years following
that time. He was engaged in the
practice of law for many years and
maintained reputation as the leading
member of the bar o: the county for
a time. Col. Wright, as he was called,
won his title by reason of service in
the civil war. He entered the union
army as a private and by reason of
his ability and courage attracted at
tention as capable and efficient man
and was promoted from time to time
until he became captain of a company
in his regiment and later became lieu
tenant colonel of his regiment. Mr..
Wright was brave and able officer
and won his reputation on merit. As a
lawyer in the early days he was re-
garded as something of tartar, pos
sessing vitriolic tongue which was
frequently employed in flashing oppO-
siti0n counsel in the case. This latter
method won for him in the early days,
but did not serve him so we'll in the
trial OF cases in the district and high
er courts, and by degrees the colonel
gave up his practice and looked after
his business interests which required
considerable attention. He had q
bright and genial manner when not
aroused in litigation and many of the
older settlers recall with much pleas
sure the visits they enjoyed with him.
He was a democrat in political belief
and one of the counselors of his party
for many years. He was appointed
postmaster of Denison and served for
some time in that capacity. Several
years ago his health failed him and
for many years he has been sufferer
both physically and mentally.
Mrs. Wright, the wife of the de.
ceased, departed this life several years
ago. The deceased left surviving him
his son, Frank, who resides at Guth'
RE, Okla, where the deceased was
residing at the time of his death. Mrs
Grant Galbreath and Mrs. John Piper
of Denver, are two daughters of the
deceased now living.
