PATHFINDER COVERS MODERN
DANCE IN ARTICLE HITTING
FROM SHOULDER.

A recent editorial in The Pathfind-
er, published in Washington, d. c..
contains the following well worth
editorial entitled con With The
Dance 1t is seldom that an article
appears on dancing which so well
covers the modern dances and it is
well worth reading:
The Ladies Home Journal is pub
fishing 4 series Of articles on the
"unspeakable jazz" and the immoral
character of much of the modern
dancing. This is sign that decent
public opinion is beginning to awake
from its apparent lethargy and to
make itself felt Several cities have
initiated police supervision Of theii'
public dance places, and violaters Of
good manners and good taste are put
out. I'm one town they are sent home
in the police patrol.
IL has come 10 be a common thing
for young man to meet a young
lady in good society, invite her to
dance, step Immediately ON the ball
room floor. clasp her in tight en-
brace, place his cheek against hers
and begin a series Of gyratons, twist
ings, wiggling, webbing and toddling
to the moaning, jerky slains Of the or
chestra, which few years ago
would have brought the blush of
shame to a hardened sinner and would
have caused the arrest Of both if
seen by policeman The young
lady who would slap a mans face
if he attempted such familiarities
with her in private quietly submits
on the dance floor, and often meets
her partner more than half way
Until comparatively recently such
actions were only witnessed as a part
Of the orgies Of the underworld
where they had their origin.
Many reasons have been assigned
for this sort of behavior, but what
ever may be the reason there is alb
solutely no excuse for IL. L is vul-
gar love-mahnp, frank seX-eXcite-
ment, promiscuous and in public.
And strange to say, mothers and
fathers stand by and see their daugh-
tiers indulge in this sort Of thing
with one man after another without
making the least criticism They
stand for it because The public stands
for it. There seems 10 have come
over Us sort Of moral paralysis for
the moment, to the extent even of
causing those who are Disguised to
shrug their shoulders and say moth
ing.
1t is gratifying to see signs of an
awakened public feeling of decency
and good taste in this matter. The
dancers are not the only guilty. Ad-
vertisers OF dance music and graphic
phone records have displayed colored
pictures in leading magazines show
ing smart young couples in the objec-
tonable attitudes described, and even
pages of reading matter have car
lied such pictures to illustrate jokes
or stories The general public has
had its share Of the blame, and the
public in general has suffered.

For we are all part of this. The
public conduct that is tolerated sets
the standard Of our morals as ma
tion and as a people. Nations have
their ratings in morality the same as
individuals. Some nations are clean
er than others. And each nation is
judged by the actions, the things,
that are permitted by the general
public and which 90 unreproycd.
Citizen John Smith is affected by the
lowering Of the moral standards in
dance halls and ball rooms. lmmor-
alities committed in private are
largely tho affairs of individuals.
Their very privacy shows at least a
respect for public opinion. But the
public, the people, are rated at what
they stand for, and the man who
stay at home TO keep out Of it all is
affected just the same as the rest.
He is an American, and he will have
an immoral America TO bring up his
children in unless this tendency is
checked.
Dancers themselves, dancing teach
els and music publishers, if they were
not short-sighted in their own inter-
ests, would aid in bringing about
reform and lifting the moral stan
dard. Carrying the Objectionable
features to excess caused the aboli-
ton of the saloon and the curtail-
ment of horse-racing and drove out
prize fighting and boxing matches
from most Of the states. First the
sport is made very Objectionable by
the worst element Of it's participators
and then arises a strong wave of in
demanding its suppression.
That is our customary way Of doing
things in this country, and friends of
the dance should profit by the les
sons. Dancing must be made decent
on dancing Will become toboo among
the better classes OF people and be
RELOCATED to the rank Of bootlegging
and boolmaking.
There seems to be natural in
StincJ for dancing among nearly all
peoples and in every stage Of civiliza-
ton. There always has been dane
ing and there always will be, but at
different periods OF history it has
gone up and down in popular favor

BRING BODY HERE
F D R FINAL
CEREMONIES

Mack Mckenzie Roane, the organ
izer of the great court Gen. Robt. El-
lott. Ancient Order of Foresters, and
the founder OF Lady Elliott Rorestric
AuXilliaries, passed away Thursday,
October 9th, at his former home in
Louisiana. His remains were shipped
to Chicago, arriving Sunday morning,
October 9th.
Daddy Roane," as he was affection
ately called by all Foresters, was a
unique character. He was quiet and
unassuming, yet the possessor of one
of the greatest minds in America.
When the Order of Foresters was
hinging on the question of retaining
the Negro as members, or letting the
principles die under the weight of
southern prejudice, Daddy Roane"
put the question up to the High Court
of the World, which is in England.
True to their doctrine, he ruled that if
the white members could not accept
the doctrine of Robin Hood the
founder, which was the equality of
man, then they could secede, which
they did, and started what was called
the Independent Order Of Foresters,
which met sudden and violent death
few years later.
This decision of the High Court in
favor OF Negroes meant the loss of
28,000 white members. But Roane
through his wonderful organizing abil-
ity, soon demonstrated that they made
no mistake, for he organized the larg-
est, richest and most progressive
branch in the jurisdiction, namely,
Court Gen. Robt Elliott.
His remains will lie in state at the
Foresters' Hall, 44th and State streets,
from Saturday at 2 p NJ. until Sun
day. Forestric service will be held in
the main hall at l:30 2. NJ, after the
body will be escorted to the funeral
parlors OF Chas Jackson, Monday, Oc-
tober 18th, at II A. NJ. The body will
be taken to St. Thomas Episcopal
Church for the final church rites,
thence to Oakwood.

FATHER

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. l5.-
William Bryant, IS, 34l Russell street,
died in the Knoxville General Hospital
last week as the result of wounds in
the stomach caused by pistol shot
fired by Alonzo Clark. 4l8 University
avenue.
Bryant was shot when he, with his
daughter, Miss Estelle Bryant, went to
Clark's home for the purpose of set
ting a quarrel existing between Clark
and the Bryant girl Clark has been
accused OF beating the girl brutally.
When Clark was called to the door
he fired one bullet, striking Bryant in
the stomach.
Clark is said to have been a sweet
heart of the Bryant girl for several
years. The quarrel arose when Clark
insisted on taking child of the girls
whose father he is said to be.
