COUNCIL FLAYED
FOR GRANTING OF
DANCE PERMITS
'Three FrightfuI Clubs Of the
Devil" Are Attacked by Rev.
Charles W. Savidge
In Sermon.

Rev. Charles w. Savidge, at the
Peoples church last night, flayed the
city council for its recent refusal
to heed the request of body OF
women who asked to have Sunday
dancing abolished in Omaha.
when God says, Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy the
city council said, Now God, go
back and sit down: we are running
this town." declared Rev. Mr..
Savidge.
"The modern dance is full Of
lust The modern dance is full of
hell. Teachers of dancing tell me
there are only three kinds Of ar
tistic dancing now. the fox trot, the

dances the dancers initiate the

Do you ask the dancer to come and

"The city council, in my judgment,
has built a hopper in which the
devil grinds out his grist.

who are studying in our Sunday

HEARST
TO ENTER RACE
FOR PRESIDENCY
Third Party Appears to Be
Favored, Although He Urges
Nomination of Pro-
gressive.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, March l4,-William
Randolph Hearst is expected soon to
announce his candidacy for the nom
ination, for president. Rumor in
Washington, has it that the an
nouncement may be made this week.
Politicians here were interested
today in publication by the Hearst
papers of a full page consisting OF
articles from other newspapers,
either urging Mr.. Hearst to become
candidate or discussing his prob
able candidacy; This was interpreted
by the politicians as a move to pave
the way for the Hearst announce
ment.
In connection with the Hearst
page of comment for Hearst as a
candidate the editor states his posi-
ton in manner which seems to
thrust aside the crown while at the
same time keeping string op it.
Wants Progressive Named.
Whether Mr.. Hearst harbors any
thought Of obtaining either the re-
publican or democratic nomination
or contemplatcs leading a third
party is not entirely clear. He takes
the position that there would be no
occasion for his candidacy if a
progressive should be nominated by
either the republican or democratic
parties.
1T may be possible" said Mr.
Hearst, ito secure the nomination of
man like Senator Hiram w. John
son or Senator William E. Borah
on the republican ticket; or the
nomination of man like Senator
James A. Reed or cambridge
Colby, on the democratic ticket, if
the latter should not submerge his
naturally progressive views in the
purely Wilson policies of the pres
ent administration.
Favors Third Party.
IF thoroughly satisfactory pro-
gressive could be nominated as the
candidate for president of one of the
old parties, it seems to ME that the
best thing that progressive citizens
can do is to unite solidly behind
such candidate and absolutely in
sure his election"
Politicians have been watching
Mr.. Hcarst's maneuvers with great
interest for several months. He has
condemned the Wilson administra-
ton unsparingly, has apparently
taken himself out of the democratic
party and has devoted all his en-
ergics to fostering thwd party move
ments with such materials as rail-
cal labor, Plumb plan leagues and
other organizations of protest. His
maneuvers are designed to make Mr..
Hearst the logical candidate of
third party.

MARRIAGE JUST
SH|MMY DANCE,
JUDGE REPORTS
California Jurist Blames the
Tropical Climate for High
/. Divorce Rate-Says Cold
Prevents QuarreIs.

Los Angeles, March l4,-With a
record of only two divorces denied
as contested with $50 DEGREES grant
ed during five years on the bench,
/ Judge T. A. Norton of the San Luis
Obispo superior court has reached
the conclusion that modern mar
lriage is a sort OF shimmy dance in a
great majority of cases, and that the
climate Of southern California is to
blame.
Judge Norton quotes learnedly
| from ponderous tones of unim-
peachable authorities to prove his
point:
"We'd have much less divorce II
we didn't have such excellent eli
mate. III a temperature of 40 de-
grees below zero there is no such
thing as qaarreling. Existence in a
sustained, relatively moderate de-
gree of heat results in instability Of
character, in which the ruling ten.
dency OF the individual is to SUBJ
ordinate society and social welfare
| 10 his own selfish ends, A warm
climate has the same effect on the
temperament of the individual as
alcohol, without the apathy that al
cohol creates.
Cold Prevents QuarIels.
1T is in tropical climates that are
found the greatest extremes OF II
centiousness and asceticism; IN
semi-tropical climates, such as ours,
we have religious fanaticism and d.
yorces; the iiccntious here concede
at least that latter formality to So
elal decoru,n.
The colder the climate, the less
tendency there is to quarrel and the
shorter the range Of temperamental
differences, until we reach the Es.
kimos, who actually have no word
to signify quarreling.
so far as my observation ex-
tends the infidelity Of women within
the marriage bonds is far greater
than that OF men under the same
circumstances. Women are expert
menters. Men are more easily salts
| fled.
From experience I have discov-
cred the futility of attempting to
elicit any information other than
that contained in the complaint from
the plaintiff. Where the parties to
the action are young and there are
tno children whose property rights
or future is involved it is useless to
attempt to relieve marital misery
with legal machinery.
Children are Sufferers.
Laws never made people happy
or virtuous. They cannot prevent
mistakes in marriage nor guard the
fsanctity of the home.
"The chief evil Of divorce is the
injury done to those innocent VIC
Tins of our hectic social life, the
children. Some energy should be de-
voted to teaching the rising genera
ton the sacredness Of the holy trini-
ty of I-amartine--thc trinity OF the
father, mother and child. We should
strive in the future to prevent rather
than to search for panacea for
this ill.,"
In the meanwhile, with a record Of
less than per cent of divorces de-
MED, San Luis Obispo promises to
become the Reno Of California.

The experience Of Motherhood is
q trying one to most women and
marks distinctly an epoch in their

tains no narcotics or harmful drugs.

VOTERS, REGISTER.

The American voter, and that means
every naturalized citizen of legal age
of either sex, must register this year
it he or she would cast a vote in the
coming presidential election. It makes
NO difference whether you have voted
l in every election for the last fifty
years, whether you have or have not
changed your residence, or whether this
viii be your first use of the franchise,
YOU must first register before you can
vote in the coming election. THIS is
PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, AND EVERY
VOTER MUST REGISTER AT HIS
PRECINCT POLLING PLACE. This
applies only to cities, as registration is
unnecessary in the small towns of Iowa
or in the country precincts. All citi-
xens OF Iowa who have been in the
state six months, in the county sixty
days and in the precinct ten days are
eligible to vote, if they are 81 years Of
age or older.
The American voters are the jury this
year in the most momentous case in
the history of the nation, and especially
true is this of the Negro voters of
America, and the voter who does not
cast ballot, will by his indifference be
guilty OF criminal neglect. Every vot-
er should be vitality interested in his
government and the calibre of the men
that are to govern. The welfare Of the
voter and the nation is at stake in the
decision that is made at the polls.
