Kentucky 36 years ago. Many
have been reading the interest
ing accounts In the Winchester
papers by Mr.. Rannals N the
great changes that have taken
place in that time. And time
has indeed wrought many chan
ges, some for the better and
some for the worse.
Nearly everyone knows where
the writer stands on the dancing
question: and have heard him en-
press himself on 1t, so he need
not be afraid to make a few more
remarks. We have nothing to
say to those who are not Chris
tians, but when church members
open their doors and attend them,
there is something wrong with
that person. The dance is asso.
ciated with the brother, tie sa-
saloon, the degrading dance halls
of the city, and the lowest ele-
ment of society where are found
the white SLAYER, the fallen wo.
men, the gamblers, the young
men are watching for their prey
and birds of IA like feather. All
dances are not this way but they
inevitably end this way. The god
ly men and women, those who are
workers in Gods kingdom, who
are looked up to as strong lead
ers in the church, who are men
and women of faith and prayer
and of power, who are letting
their light shine IN all its beauty
and holiness, and living the
Christ-like life, will never be
found on dancing floor. Some
may go there not realizing the
harm, but the dance will soon
faint our character and destroy
your noblest instincts, and the
outsider says, eff you are Chris
tian, then | don't want nothing
to do with the church." The
dance is the DEVILS institution
and all his emissaries are to be
found there, and Christ has moth
ing to do with it. You cannot
conceive of Him going tC dance
and if He were here on earth to-
day and went to them as they
are carried on in this age of the
world, the world would turn its
back on Him. We would have
nothing to do with Him. If ev-
en- the preacher attended the
dance you would have no faith
in him, and You who call your
selves Christians, would not go
to hear him, much less the out
siders. And vet when you think
of it, the preacher has as much
right to 90 as any church mem
Der. There was time when the
dance was all right, but that
time passed long years ago. 1t
has now become demoralizing
institution where the tango,
grizzly bear, bunny hug and all
other such disgraceful scenes are
Seen. The dancing floor is the o.
pen door to hell. Out of every
one hundred girls in a brothel
today, eighty of them are there
because of the dance. More girls
are led to a life of shame and ru-
in because of the dance than
from any other cause. This is
the statement of workers among
fallen women from investigation.
The terrible evils coming from
the dance are something appall-
ing. The religious world, the
cities aud municipalities are dis
cussing this great question andl
trying 10 solve the problem of
how to mitigate the evils arising |
from them. lfany of you want

When the legislature conyenes the
commission feels confident that It will
honor the deficiency warrants with s
per cent interest. The banks are to
get the / per cent and are willing to
take the risk to cover half the original
Nface value. The state pays the per
cent.
Criticism Heard.
Criticism is being heard over the sit
uation the commission has found itself
up against and the fact that so much
Of the appropriation was spent the first
year, leaving such a small balance for
the second years maintenance. The
fact that the employees were not in
formed when the balance ran down to
81 cents after they received their last
salaries, on or about June 1, giving
them an opportunity to either resign
and seek other employment or take the
optional course to remain on the pay
roll and walt for their money, is also
causing not a little comment. Those
familiar with the matter say that as
1t is, the employes-men WHO can i'll
afford to go without their salaries-are
left holding the sack
Close Down Power House.
The commission has decided to close
down the power house. All but one
.employe-an electrician-have been let
go. There is no fuel to operate the
power plant and no money to buy coal
with. 1t is for this reason that the ele-
vators have been at a standstill at the
statehouse for the past few days. For
lights connection will be made with
one of the local power companies.
Water will also be furnished by local
water company The result is badly
crippled statehouse. ~
Furniture Purchased.
1t is claimed that had the commits
sion not used the maintenance money
to buy expensive furniture during the
first year when the building was first
occupied the present difficulties would
not have come up, for the appropria-
ton, 1t is said, could easily have been
stretched over the biennial period with
out serious difficulty. As it is, the
state house apartments have the furni-
ture and the employees are forced to
go without their salaries or take the
alternative and accept half down minus
interest and wait six or eight months
for the balance at the pleasure of the
legislature
