The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1922-06-30

OF our pT6JlQCeS, IdCC We
ought to remember when we
view present day fads. The
Miami Herald has the following
to say of changing fashions:
A correspondent, whose commune
cation was published day or two
ago, rather takes exception to the
Jazz music and dances, now so popu-
lar among certain classes of young
people, and she refers to the music
and dances of her younger days as
possibly being models, for the people
of today.
All one has to do to discover that
each generation has it's pet antipathy
is to read the publications of the
past century. The present generation
it would seem, objects to anything
the coming generation enjoys and
seems also to think that whatever
the coming generation favors must,
of necessity, be immoral.
One who remembers half century
back, will remember that some OF
the very dances that the correspon-
dent now approves were, in that
time execrated by the passing gen.
Grafton of the time, as highly de-
structive of civilization and absolute
ly immortal.
When the dance called the German
was first introduced into this coun-
try only the very courageous dared
to indulge in its pleasures because
it was denounced by pulpit and in
the press as being a most immoral
form of recreation.
But, for years, the German was
danced with more and more favor
and there was a substitute found in
more modern dances, and nobody was
the worse for it.
So, remembering all the dances
and the music that in time past have
been denounced and execrated by GER
tain classes of moralists, The Herald
INDUCES the suspicion that even
these latter day dances will run
their full course, be supplanted by
others and that the old world will
go right on getting better and
better, despite the doleful prophecies
of those who insist that just because
the younsg people enjoy themselves
in strange and weird dances, every
thing is going to the demnition bow
vows.
The Boston News Bureau sum-
med up Mr. Gomper's stand on
labor questions in the following
replies the labor leader made to
pointed questions. He admitted
a long list of labor union abuses
but he was opposed to recourse
to Law no matter what the in
justice inflicted upon owners or
the public. Here is his position:
Il would use every influence I
could to bring about a better
course of conduct"
There is no patent road to
the elimination of all the mis-
takes and errors of people,
I would use any way possible
except by law
Il would rather bear the ills
| have than to fly to Others
we must be patient. The
world was not made in a day. |

Canada is a new world country
and thinks in terms of democ-
racy. Our invisible boundry is
more invisible still when it |
comes to mental processes. Can

that she does not wish to have

ferred upon her citizens. Those

So the American Federation of
Labor favors a congressional veto
on supreme court decisions. Un-
der this plan what becomes of
the court from which there is no
appeal ? Better abolish the
Court than make it subject to
