DANCE AIDS.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE.
II Young Folks "ToddIe" at All,
He Says, They Should Do
It In Church.

CHICAGO. Dec. 24.-The Rev.
James Gordon Gilkey, pastor Of the
South Congregational Church, of
Springfield. Mass. who is here on .
visit, explained today how he had in
creased his congregation from 500 to
900 by allowing the young folks to
dance in the chapel.
Not only do the young people dance
in the church, but the elders, many
of them descendants of the Pilgrim
Fathers. and the minister himself,
participate in the dances.
1--WE dance all the modern dances
including the toddle," said the Rev.
Gilkey. sit was the only way to save
the young folks from the dance nall
and the sex problem play of the local
theaters. II the young people want
to dance. they are going to, and II
you won't let them dance I'm the
church they will go some place else,
probably to the cheap halls. That ac-
counts for the depraved tendencies of
our nice boys and girls today. Girls
and boys who previously took no in
terest in the church are now among
the best workers"
The Rev. Gilkey said the elders
were against the idea at the start, but
he finally convinced them that II they
allowed their children to dance at all,
1t should be done at church.

an association of nations and eide
want empire IL he can get what he
thinks Ireland can command.
To understand the strength OF his
former position and the compare
tive weakness of his present one, II
is necessary to grasp the fact that
Ireland has made a revolutionary
discovery. She has found out how
to make successful rebellion. The
secret is not to rebel at all, but to
initiate the lady in Mrs. Stetson's
poem who vanquished a prejudice
after many unsuccessful efforts by
walking through 1t as IL 1t wasn't
there. Don't advocate a republic;
simply assume republic; appoint
its administration and its parlia-
ment and carry on.
II you are interfered with by ILL
disposed persons, appoint your po-
lice and army and defend your ex-
tant republic. Very simple, like
relatively and all other great discov-
cries. And the measure of its sue
cess is the difference between Mr..
Gladstone's home rule bill and Mr..
Lloyd Georges articles OF capitula-
ton. 1t has settled the Irish ques-
ton and II will settle the Egyptian
question and the Indian question.
Lloyd George at Disadvantage.
But it is only practica BILE by
united nation. And the Irish nation,
until now solid behind its president,
has split on this last bid of Lloyd
Georges. What we are now waiting
to see is whether this split will
sweep De Valera away for the mo-
ment. or leave him strong enough
to have one more try for Mister
Lloyd Georges really highest bid.
That is all there is i'm IL now.
Meanwhile there is no reason to
fuss about the upshot of the Dali
debate. The promised deluge of blood
will not flow on this side of the
general election. The Irish will take
as much as they can get and Lloyd
George will give as much as he can
spare. He is at the disadvantage of
being in a hurry. Ireland has been
in her present plight so long that
she can bear II a little longer.
And so we can look forward to to-
morrow's newspapers without losing
our sleep.

, DAVIS CHANCES
Outcome Will Be Regarded As
Indicator in Contest for U.

= RICHMOND, Va. Dec. "a
Another indication of how much
chance Governor .Westmoreland
Davis has to defeat United States
Senator Claude Swanson for re-elec-
ton will be furnished by the spe-
cial election at which the successor
to the late Congressman Hal Flood,
of the Tenth District, will be chosen.
The contest between Governor
Davis, who goes out of office on Feb
ruary /, and Senator Swanson. is
frankly and avowedly machine
and anti-machine" struggle, with
Davis leading the independents.
Many Candidates.
The ten or twelve aspirants for
Congressman Floods seat in the Cap
itol in Washington are about evenly
divided in their machine and anti
machine affiliations. Added 10 this,
there is warm sectional rivalry within
the district, the people on the east
side of the Blue Ridge mountains
maintaining that they should send
one Of their number to Washington,
and the voters on the west side OF
the mountains equally determined to
choose the legislators successor. IL
an anti-machine man Is elected, this
will be taken as evidence that Gov
ernor Davis has a fair chance in the
forthcoming senatorial primary, but II
q machine man is chosen, then II will
be almost conclusive proof that the
Organization" still holds the fort and
that Swanson will be reelected.
Harry st. George Tucker, who
formerly represented the Tenth dis
trrict in Congress, and was defeated
for the gubernatorial nomination by
State Senator T.. Lee Trinkle last
August, continues to be the out
