The subject of dancing has been
going the local rounds" of late and
we have communication at hand
asking us to give that form of "friv-
olous diversion" a round scoring.
During the last week or so, while we
were laid toes up in bed, cussing the
doc because he didn't come oftener,
and then cussing him again because
he came so often, hating ourself and
everyone else and trying to get fat
on one piece of toast and a glass of
water per day, we could have scored
most anything that had a faint of
pleasure-dancing would have been
meat for us then. So, when we hear
a person raving and ranting against
every kind of amusement the young
people try to enjoy, we sympathize
with him, and recommend quiet and
diet. Dancing can be vulgar, but
we don't believe it ever is here-and
besides, we enjoy dancing, so it must
be all right.

w. H. Taft And
The Primaries
BY E. S. REED.

Ex-President VIM. H. Taft address
ed the textile manufacturers of New
England at their annual convention
in Providence last week. He dis
cussed some of the evils in our econ
omic system and suggested rem
edies.
In the course of his speech he
roundly and soundly denounced the
primary election scheme, claiming
it to be the greatest fraud ever per-
petrated upon the franchise. Among
other things he said, 'But Of all the
evils which are supposed to be a
cure-all for all evils the direct pri-
airy is the worst. It is an advantage
to the rich man alone, who can build
up a machine Of his own. The gen
eral primary is a fraud. You can
get better candidates from the boss
ridden convention than you can
through the primary" This is the
opinion of w. H. Taft, a man whose
views are conservative and eminent
ly rational. No man in discussing
national questions can speak with
greater authority. Mr.. Taft has the
confidence of the American people
to a greater degree than any other
man and for good reasons.
He is a man distinguished for
profound learning, wide obser-
walton, vast experience, sound COM
mon sense and plain speaking. No
man in the country better under
stands the principles Of law for he
has been a lawyer for many years,
a Judge, with the prospect OF an ap-
pointment to a position on the bench
Of the Supreme court. His views
upon any economic question are &C
copied as eminently sound. Is his
estimate of the primary correct?
The primary is beautiful theory.
1t purports to give every voter the
privilege Of selecting his candidate
for office. But even here the scheme
is an absurdity If every man sell
ects his own candidate there will be
as many candidates as there are vo-
tiers. But the voters do not select
the candidate. The candidate pre-
sents himself and asks you to vote
for him and he may be only one of a
dozen who aspires for the same Of
flee, all of whom appeal to you for
your vote, the good, the bad and the
Indifferent.
The self-appointed candidate, be-
ing required under the law to get a
certain number of names to enable
him to get his name on the election
ballot, interviews his fellow citizens
and solicits them to sign his petition.
He gets your name, for signing the

Ia Crosse Won Out
In A Great Game

Up to, and including part of Fri
day evening, Feb. IL. local basket
ball fans were confident in the belief
that no normal school or college in
the state had quint that could beat
Coach Swenson's team. But on that
sad date it was revealed that La
Crosse normal had one. The two
teams were as evenly matched as it
is possible for two teams to be, and
in any series of games between them
the element of luck would be bound
to decide the issue. It was so Friday
night. Bethel, who has always made
high average at free throws, was
decidedly off color, getting but three
out of possible 10, and this item
decided the outcome, for each team
made field baskets, while Ii. Crosse
won out by scoring 8 out OF Il free
throws.
It was wonderful game from
start to finish, and the audience that
packed every available space in the
gym. was kept in frenzy of excite
ment every moment. La Crosse
must be given full credit for their
victory, they played the better game.
Between halves over a hundred
girls, dressed all in white, gave a
very pretty marching drill, led by
Miss Doris Lunt. About twenty boys
from the La Crosse school came up
to root for their team, bringing
band instruments. Their roofing
and their music was we'll ordered
and brought forth enthusiastic APP
plause.
At the end of the first half La
Crosse led, IL to 10. The final score
was 26 to FL in their favor.

Lectures About
Christian Science
BY Or. Francis J. FIuno, C. S. D.
From Great Falls (Mont.) Daily Leader
continued from last week.

From Great Falls (Mont.) Daily Leader
Continued from last week.
Christian Science is the law of d.
vine Principle, and is therefore the
Science of sciences; thereligion of re-
ligions, and the church of all
churches.
1T is not the gleanings from every
other religion; it includes and COM
prehends the whole of being, or di-
vine Science; and must eventually
gravitate back to the one scientific
fact, of a perfect God and perfect
creation, as the basis of every con-
clusion.
"Since God is yesterday, today,
and forever the same, Interchangeable
in all his ways, therefore, what pri-
marily was true, will always be true,
is all that is true, or ever will be
true.
Christian Science makes no unrea-
sonable claims upon the modern
world; it's claims are based upon the
Spirit of Love, and reflected in
health, Wilderness, kindness, charity,
and good will to all.
1T comes as it came to the shep-
herds of old, heralding "On earth
peace, good will toward men,"
1T comes as it came with Jesus
the Christ, not to rob or to plumber,
but That they might have life, and
that they might have it more album
dainty" 1t takes nothing from the
world, but gives all to the world.
I'm the place of war we find peace;
and the finite conception of peace is
raised to the dawn of that glad day
when all shall dwell together, Zone
fold and one shepherd.
Instead of quarrels and dissen-
sions, we find friendship and kind
ness; and the standard of friendship
and brotherly love is raised to His
kingdom on earth, "as it is in heav-
en-"
''Instead Of divorce and separa-
ton, we find oneness and union.
Happy homes and peaceful are raised
to higher standard of union, and
more perfect bond of love; for what
greater bond Of union could there be
than for husbands and wives, sisters

Twenty-eight young ladies', mem.
bers of the Blue Birds and Camp
Fire organizations and their guardi-
ans, from both local schools, met at
the girls gym. at the normal school
Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a
grand program Of social entertain
ment. Under the direction Of Miss
Schlager a grand march was staged
to open the program. This was fol-
lowed by folk dance by the Blue
Birds. Then two games of arch ball
we're played, one at each end of the
gym. Two girls put on boxing
gloves and showed no little skill at
that art, Evelyn Stewart winning
high honors. A game of indoor
baseball was played between teams
chosen from the Guardians and
Presidents of the different camps.
The program was concluded with an
excellent cafeteria lunch in the Do
mestic Science rooms.
