The Dancing Craze.

The editor of Charity and
Children expresses our sentl-
ments so we'll in tine following
paragraph that it is hardly nee
essary to say more. This COM
ment is timely and we give it
space tn the hope that good may
come of it.
This paper has never been
wild on the dancing question.
In fact it has always held that
some churches are too hard on
silly dancers, turning them out
without a moments notice, and
the motion being made some
times by red-nosed drunkards:
but of late there has come al
craze over the country on dane
ing that, we are told, is damag.
ing the moral tone of society to
an alarming degree. The new
dances that have been introduc.
ed are said to be course and
common. Of course we all
know where they had their ori-
gin, and those who have seen
them tell us that they reek with
the foul atmosphere from which
they have emerged into our ball
rooms. What is worse, the prac
tice is rapidly spreading. For a
while dancers were confined
principally to the Episcopalian
young ladies of the community,
with a sprinkling of Ppesbyte-
rians. Now it is not uncommon
for Methodist and Baptist girls
to yield themselves into the
arms of strangers on ball room
floors. Recently, an officer of
one of our churches went to one
of the dignitaries of the church
and asked him to suggest rem
edy for the degeneracy of church
members in this respect. "Oh
well" replied this preacher, I'VE
might as we'll let the girls go.
hs5r are geing- dance any
how and we cannot help it."
We are still opposed to dealing
aarshly with these girls. They
do not know any better. They
ought to be admonished by
their pastors, and if the parents
of these young ladies haven't
sense enough to see where the
thing is leading their children,
the church as a whole ought to
STAND SO strongly against the
practice, that the sentiment of
the congregation will at least
deter the girls with brains in
their heads from engaging in
any exercise so pernicious as the
tango or the turkey trot. After
all it is not the money but the
sense of congregation that wins
out in the end. Men who can
think are always able to rise
higher than men who can merely
buy; aud if the thinking people
OF the community will stand
against any social svil, it may
flourish for time, but will final
" have to go. 1t is deplorable
that the revival of interest in tfe
dancing business comes when
the dances have degenerated
into vulgar and salacious form.
Our whole social life is on a de-
sending moral scale. The mod
esty of our womanhood seems
to be discredited. The girl who
maintains her self respect is a |
wall flower. But this is only a
passing wave. 1t is not and can
not be permanent condition.
After awhile the pendulum will
swing back, and the true, sweet,
modest woman will come into
her own"

TopAY's HEALTHOGRAM

Baby sleeps longer, better and
sounder- out of doors where there is
plenty of air. Baby's face should not
be covered in the house and very
rarely when out of doors. Initiated air
taxes the system as much as poor
food or polluted water.
One-eighth of the excretiOn from
the body is discharged through the
breath. So the air in which we breath
constantly if not changed frequently
is not fit to take in again.
WEATHER FORECAST
Fair Monday and probably Tues
day; slowly rising temperature; mod
crate variable breeze.

In talking informally about him

not infrequently up to these rooms.

ton but very few times and but
a few hours until l came last year,
and l never expect to see the inside
of the public buildings in Washing

ute l turn up anywhere l am per-
sonally conducted to beat the band.

tors, and every other blooming Off
cial turns up, and they show me SO
much attention that l don't see the
building. / would have to say, Stand
aside and let me see what you are
| showing me- Some day, after l am
through with this office l am going
! to come back to Washington and
see it. In the meantime L am in
the same category as the National
Museum, the Monument, the Smith.

Library, and everything that comes
down here has to be shown the
President. If 1 only knew an exhi-
bition appearance to assume-appar-

OPINIONS OF
OTHER EDITORS
Deluding Welfare Movements.

At each convention of the railway
managers much of the time is taken up
in discussing the establishment of wei
fare plans for employees. The underly-
ing object is to prevent organization,
while on the surface the companies are
enabled to make it appear that they have
great consideration for their employees.
They take sort of fatherly interest in
caring for their help by keeping them
separate and apart, paying low hourly
wage rate, working them long periods
of hours to offset the inadequate hourly
wage and when they become sick or
ready for the scrap heap the employees
are doled out pittance from the well
fare fund created by their own labor
and contributions, and the companies
take the credit of caring for them.--
