 We concede that public dancing is now going on throughout our city and that the issue IS not; ITO Dance or Not to Dance" but is: Shall our city operate a municipal dance hall under the sole supervision and di- rection of one commissioner who is to furnish music and proper chap eronage and permit the same at all reasonable times?' The regulation of other public dances is not in volveG in this issue.
 Refute Statement
 We refute the statement: This is a cause where the democratic rights and privileges of the masses of the people are involved It Is cause where the morals of the people are essentially concerned. The labor ing people are a moral people, have heads of their own. can think ana reason for themselves and do not want a mere right or privilege ex- tended to them at a sacrifice of public morals Every labor organization can under the law as now exists conduct its dances at East Lake Park with out police supervision, the same as other clubs and organizations are now doing at various places through out our city.
 The closing appeal that MT. Harri- son makes Is: I can see no logical reason why any man or woman-can not consistently or conscienuously support me on this natter Note the word me" indicating that his ap- peal Is one of personal pride. couched in terms of personality, calling upon his people to support him, regard less of the opinions of the right thinking well-meaning people for whom he claims to be the leader and representative.
 This is not labor question. but an issue in which the rights of all classes of people are involved, and we confidently believe lat the la boring people will repudiate the operation of a municipal dance hall at East Lake, wher they register their vote and that they will not by having done so question the sin cerity and ability of their self-ad- mitted leader and representative.

lake 'em away! Take 'em awayp
he screamed. Il want to see the In
diars," and thus his mind wandered
on all through the long summer day.
Donald, lean and lank, who had
grown too fast to accumulate much
flesh and whose head seemed too
heavy for his body. was a familiar
figure in the western town. He had
a queer fashion of peering at one
through his glasses and strongly
developed habit of raising objections
to everything. As a member of the
illustrious tribe of Go-Hawks, he
was somewhat known to local fame.
The news of his serious illness was
received with much interest, and,
among his fellow Go-Hawks caused
the greatest sorrow Sitting Bull as
sembled his tribe in the hayloft Of
Pawnee Dirt Lodge, that was one Of
the favorite meeting places and plot
ting grounds. There was no joking
among the youngsters that after
noon; they took their places quietly,
their faces full of a nameless anxi-

you together to perform sad busi-

father that Rain-in-the-Face was
most likely to die tonight" A sob
arrested the speakers attention. 1t
was Running Water, who could not
bear to think of Rain-in -the-Face in
pain, and because she wept, Whisper
ing Leaves wept. Sitting Bull felt
that he must suggest something to
cheer his Indians, though his own
heart was heavy.

ana they set out tor nome as fast as
they could go. The woods were so
full of sticks and leaves the little
folks could not make much time,
and besides the twins fell over so
many leaves they had to be carried.

before this rain catches u.s. said
Tess, who was leading the way. Il
think we'd better look for place to
shelter us from the storm"
In few minutes the little women
came upon milk bottle which lay
on its side under bush, and at the
same time few big drops of rain
began to fall.
Here, get into this bottle, quick!'
exclaimed Tess, and, catching up one
of the twins, she rolled him into the
bottle.
The other twin and the rest of the
women were quickly boosted in, and
Tess had no sooner climbed into the
bottle than the rain came down IN
torrents. 1t rained for hours. and
there was nothing for the little
women to do but wait for it to stop,
for to have gone out in the heavy
rain would have been most danger

frightened little folks could hardly

faces, it was so dark. But after d
time the rain stopp4i.

They all crawled timidly out OF
the bottle and Tess, who had picked
up half-burned match for wea-
pom, took her place at the head OF
the frightened little band.
"Now, all you folks have got to
do is to stick close together and
follow me, and if any old bug is fool
enough to corpe snoopin' around he'll
get such crack over the head with
this match he'll think the world has
come to an end" and Tess set off,
followed by the rest of the little
party. carrying the sleeping twins
over their shoulders.
In short time they saw lights
ahead, and presently heard the shouts
of the Teenie Vicente men, who had
come out in search of them. Soon
they were in the arms of their friends
and after long walk they arrived at
the shoe house.
Although it was 2 o'clock in the
morning, the Cook made thimble-
full of cocoa and fried several slices
of frog ham for the hungry crowd.
The little women were mighty tired
after their long walk, but all of them
agreed it was worth being tired to
spend ther est of the night in their
own tiny beds instead OF cold milk
bottle.

"Yes, let's do it!' answered Mrs

The Lady of Fashion caught one
of the tiny dish towels off the rack
over the kitchen stove and dried the
dishes as fast as Mrs. Lover could
wash them. When the work was

cookies and salad. The Lady Of

breeches, leggings and walking coat
looking quite charming. The lit
