The New Years Ball


AS truly foretold the New Years s
ball given by the S. r. o. dancing
club, New Years eve was the most
elaborate society function of the
season. The hall adornments were
of the prettiest and seasonable
kind. The affair was, indeed, for
NAL but everybody put aside all pos
sible formality and entered into the
dances with all possible jollity and
diversion. A program of twenty four
dances and five extras was danced
out and 1916 was beautifully usher
ed in when only a few more than
half of the waltzes, two-steps, hesi-
tations and castle walks has been
filled. Forty-four couples were in
the grand march which started i'm
mediately at nine o'clock and was
led by Miss Ruth Harger and Mr..
Kenyon Riddle. Couples coming lat
ter in the evening brought the grand
number on the floor during the
evening up to 100.
The affair was a success, we'll
managed and in every way compii-
mentary to the young men of the
s. R o., who were the promoters.
The decorations in holiday colors of
red and green were out of the or
dinary run; the ceiling being artis-
tically festooned in pretty design,
centering in a large electric light.
Cozy hooks were arranged and
grape punch was served from under
an attractive bower Of red and
green and a beautifully electrically
illuminated cluster Of grapes, by
Marian Patterson and Frances Blair.
During the evening fruit ice and
waters were served by Miss Mildred
Wilkie and Miss Frances Curry,
who also gave out the program in
the march.
The trots, walks and the hesita-
tion were the popular dances among
the younger set while the waltz and
two-step were shown partiality by
the others who were present. The
program had been arranged with
that purpose. The music furnished
by the Dodge orchestra of four in
struments, was excellent and had all
the merits of imported orchestras
which have played for other similar
functions here.
One of the pretty and unique fea-
lures of the evening occurred at
midnight, when in the midst of a
graceful swinging waltz the large
hall was darkened and a largo Amer
lean flag was unfurled. displaying
an electric sign with the lettering:
"1s15-A Happy New Year-1s1e"

KANSAS FOR HUGHES

W. Y. Morgan: So far as heard
from all the Progressive party lead
ers in Kansas will support Hughes.
No doubt the rank and file will, but
it is hard for leader who has given
time and work to build up a new
party, to quickly say that the old
home place will do after all. The
leader has speeches or editorials on
the subject which will be hard to
explain. He hates to apparently ad-
NIT that his work was only a pro-
test. These doubts do not hamper
the ordinary citizen who merely
says Hughes is all right. But l
can appreciate the difficulty in the
way of the leaders.
Henry Allen is probably closer to
Roosevelt than any other Kansan.
He took the plunge promptly and
there will be no stronger advocate
of Hughes than Henry, who headed
the Bull Moose ticket two years
ago. And l will add that there will
be none more effective William
Allen White is for Hughes but he
says he is going to Colorado and
finish his next book. Victor Muir
dock took it hard at first but the
logical OF events will bring him to
Hughes. Fortunately for Victor's
pride he already had planned to
take a trip to China next Septem-
Der. Will Beck. Progressive candi-
date for lieutenant governor, is
home again and welcomed to lead
ership.
OF course Stubs, Dolley, Bris-
tow, Jackson and all those boys
who stayed in the party in 1914 are
feeling exuberant.
Only the Democratic leaders are
disappointed with Teddy.

DEMOCRATIC pRECEDENTs

Democratic editors and orators
who are just now making the welkin
ring with their outcry against the
nomination of a supreme court
justice 10 an elective office seem to
have overlooked the fact that in
drawing upon the supreme court
for suitable candidate, Republi-
cans are simply following a Demo-
cratic precedent of forty years
standing. The Democrats of Illinois
nominated and elected Judge David
Davis to the United States senate
while he was a justice of the su-
preme court of the United States.
And one convention held by the
Democrats at st. Louis, moreover,
nominated a Justice of the supreme
court of the state of New York for
president.

That it has done it is fact which

Henry ]. Allen: think the hour
is too important for any man to
worry about the name of the party
he is going to support. If Colonel
Roosevelt accepts the splendid
statement of Mr. Hughes as meet
ing the conditions which he laid
down to the Progressive convention.
a majority of the Progressives in
the central and northern states will
support Mr. Hughes. AS far as / am
personally concerned, If Colonel
Roosevelt declines the Progressive
nomination, l will support MIR.
Hughes rather than vote for some
lesser leader Of the Progressive
party, not that 1 have lost in any
way my enthusiasm for the prinei-
pies which we have sought to intro
duee, but because think the fight
is going to be clearly between VIII
son and Hughes, and in that case I
prefer Hughes.

The Democratic party recognizes
the need of some preparation for
the foreign-goods onslaught which
will certainly follow the close of
to war. This is shown through
their promised attention to dye
stuff protection, and the tariff
commission. Secretary McAdoo and
his Democratic associates see the
commercial strife coming, and they
are lying awake nights trying to
devise some anti-dumping legisla-
tion to take the place of protective
tariff. The Democrats see the need
but refuse the tried and effective
remedy. From the experience Of
years the country knows there is
but one way to meet the competition
of Europe successfully and yet main
tain our wage standards at home,
and that is through an out-and-out
protective tariff.
