NEW PROGRESSIVE IDEA

~ NE of the complaints of the
1 Progressives has been that Con-
~ gress and the various State leg
islatures are entirely too slow
In the enactment of beneficial legis-
lation. The whole purpose of the
Progressive movement, If we are to
believe the platform declarations of
the party, is the passage of a series
of laws which it has been asserted
the national and State making
bodies have refused, for this or that
reason, under the old party control,
to pass.
Now comes the Iowa Progressive
party and demands that no law shall
be adopted without proper public
discussion" What are we to take from
this? That the Progressive party must
first be consulted, or that this modi-
fed form of the initiative and refer
endum is to give the Progressives time
to catch up with popular opinion and
thus play for support at the polls?
At all events the Progressives are
bent on placing Congress and the Leg
islature between the devil and the
deep sea, where it will be easy to
damn them if they do and likewise if
they don't.

REAL TANGO AND PARTISAN

"HE first number of the new
French periodical, la Revue
/ ud-Americaine," contains an
interesting article on the tango.
In its devotees and surroundings, the
dance in Paris differs even more radi-
cally from those of its place of origin
than it does in the character Of it's
steps. In Paris one sees long string
of sumptuous motor-cars leaving the
fashionable hotels with ladies dressed
in split skirts of gossamer material,
and dainty feet in transparent stock
ings. They are going to a tango tea,
where they will parade through a
whimsical dance, throwing themselves
backward and forward in the arms of
dressed dandies with hair
parted in the middle, to the strains of
a gypsy band.
This is not the tango of the Argen-
tine Gaucho and of his 'novia" In
front of the rancho on a soft moon
light night the author says he has OBJ
served a very different performance.
The Gaucho filings back his "poncho"
and grasping his dark-eyed beauty by
the waist whirls her around and
around in a frantic movement, to stop
and fix upon her an intense
gaze of truly savage ecstasy. Mean
while the dogs howl. the guitars play,
and the men swallow glass after glass
of 'aguardiente doble." Then come
ardent fiirtations and jealous angry
looks. Not infrequently follows a
fierce improvised duel, with knife
as weapon, between two of the Gau-
chos, one of whom is sure to rise no
more from the ground. The women
scream and turn away their eyes,
someone dashes out the dim lamps
the Gauchos leap on their horses and
sallop away over the wide open PAM
pas, leaving the dead man to be buried
by some good Samaritan the next
That is the real tango!

"GO-TO-CHURCH" SUNDAY

"HE first Sunday of February has
been fixed as "Go-to-Church'
L Sunday. An effort is to be made
on that date to get every non
churchgoer to attend divine services
at least once during the day.
Press and pulpit everywhere have
endorsed the movement. 1t has be-
come country and its popularity
is attested by the resolutions passed
in it's favor by ministerial associations
and from the broadcast invitations of
pew and pulpit to people outside the
church to join with them in worship.
And where, do you ask, did this ex-
cellent idea originate? Was it the
Colonel Roosevelt or some other one
of those ardent reformers for personal
reasons who have been shrieking their
ideals and their virtues from the
house-tops. Oh, no, it was merely a
suggestion from our modest friend,
William Howard Taft, who, short
time ago, expressed the belief that
hope for the future of our American
institutions lies largely in a return to
the old-fashioned church-going GUS

WEST ENDERs IN EARNEST

r. VIDENTLY the West End I'm
n provement Association is very
- much in earnest in it's movement
to obtain n subway beneath the
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad
at Division street.
The association is going about it's
campaign in the proper manner. 1t is
endeavoring to educate the public to
the need of such a passage and to
awaken public sentiment in its behalf
by appealing to all similar organ
izations in the city.
The West Enders have evidently
calculated that an aroused public
opinion is the most powerful argu-
ment they can bring to bear in favor
of the improvement they desire. In
this they are right. Whenever the
people as whole or substantial ma
jority of them demand in forceful
manner the construction of a subway
at Division street, the subway will be
constructed. and without delay. The
same applies to good many other
improvements and reforms concerning
which much is just now being said.

OH. YOU TANGO!
BY Wing Dinger.

You may sing of Salome, the Hootchy
de Kootch
And the hair-raising Spanish Fan
dango,
But. brother, the wiggle that's got 'em
all beat
For gyrations, ct al, is the Tango.
When at first it came out it created a
stir,
And the question was How far will
man go?"
Which led to some inquiries into this
And it looked like "Good-by' to the
Tango.
Then someone discovered that countries
elsewhere
Were dancing this dance, and it's mo-
tion
Was far more refined than the style
that they chose
To be used on this side of the ocean.
AS critics waxed warm and the people
demurred
There was pulled off a quick change
of scene,
And now we are told that it's properly
danced
In the faraway land-Argentine.
And each day. it would seem, that some
goody good folks
Who at first murmured 20, what a
sight"
Are joining the ranks, and excuse
themselves thus:
"If it's proper y danced. it's all right"
So the country goes crazy, new corsets
and shirts.
Ladies' bloomers and shoes a la
Tango,
Are devised TO give grace to the wig
giles and dips.
And we wonder still. how far will

FORCING GOEyrH.Ls OrrT,

M consider for a moment ac-
" ceptng the police commits
sionership of New York, as
<hankless a Job as there is in the
world and one that is marked with
more wrecks and failures than any
other public office in America?
The only answer would seem to be
that President Wilson intends to ap-
point some other man to the governor
ship Of Panama after the completion
OF the canal.
II that be so. the President is not
only selfishly withholding from a most
deserving officer a reward to which he
IS justly entitled, but he is running the
grave risk of involving the Panama
Canal Zone in petty politics in a man.
ner that will haunt him the remainder
of his administration, and after.
Under the direction of Colonel
Goethals there has been order. hon
esty and efficiency on the Isthmus.
There was not a question raised as to
the excellency of Goethals' admins
tration until Secretary Bryan made
fine place for his editor, Richard l..
Metcalf, by having President Wilson
send him down there as a personal
representative to make recommends
tions and keep him in touch with the
situation. Metcalf is a small man be-
side Goethals and he knows little or
nothing concerning the problems with
which Goethals has had to deal. Given
the place instead of GoethaIs when
Goethals took charge. Metcalf would
have involved the canal operation in
engineering failurs and political
squabbles such as te has stirred up
since he appeared there.
There can be no doubt about
Colonel Goethals' willingness to ac-
cept the New York post. 1t becomes.
then. the duty of President Wilson to
see to 1t that the nation does not lose
the wonderful administrative services
of this man. He Is needed on the
Isthmus just as much now as he was
when the operations there were in
their infancy. He knows the situation
and he Is unquestionably the man to
put in charge of the zone after the
big ditch is opened to traffic. He
would ind grave problems then, as
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-01-26

he did before. and in all America
there is no other so we'll equipped to
meet and solve them.
1t seems scarcely possible that
Colonel Goethals would relinquish
such post, unless there be political
string to the appointment. 1t is to be
hoped that the President does not
mean to yield to the yapping of the
persistent place hunters who are a
Canal Zone is no place for the po-
litical hanger-on and it seems almost
that the President means
to sacrifice Goethals to a horde of
Democrats.

NO LET UP ON VICE

"HE raid Of Colonel Hutchison on

been but temporary disturbances of

This time there is to be no end to the
watchfulness Of the police in this re-

war that is being waged against COM
mercialized vice.
1T will do no good; you cannot
abolish it," say the skeptical and
those whose pocketbooks or weakness
have been touched by the local cru
sade. Granted that vice cannot be
eliminated entirely, is that any rea-
son why the laws of the country
should not be enforced? Is that any
reason why illegal resorts should be
permitted in the community where
there is evidence at hand to close
them? AS well not punish the MUIR
derer or the thief because the punish
ment does not prevent others from
committing like crimes. BY abolish
ing the house Of ill-repute we remove
temptation and a standing invitation
to loose living. That is the big pur-
pose Of the present movement, and
lot nobody get the idea that it is to
be merely a temporary activity.
