JAZZ MUST GO"

"Jazz dancing is a worse evil than
the saloon used to be-" 80, we'll, that
is a statement of some minister of the
Miss Nancy type you say. To be ex-
act, they are the words of Fenton T.
Bott, of Dayton, Ohio, who is one of
the leading dancing masters of Amer
lea. He is director of dance reform in
the American National Association
Masters of Dancing. In the December
number Of the Ladies Home Journal
appears an article on dancing reform
that every parent and church worker
should read. In this article John r.
McMahan, the author, makes a very
strong case against "jazz" dancing
and "jazz" music. To quote Mr.. Bott
again, "jazz" dancing is worse thar
the 'aloon, because it affects our
young people especially. 1t is degrad-
ing 1t lowers all the moral stand
ards. Unlike liquor, a great deal Of
it's harm is direct and immediate. But
it also leads to undesirable things.
The Jazz is too often followed by
the joy ride. The lower nature is stir
red up as a prelude to unchaperoned
adventure. This strikes especially at
the youth of the nation, and the con-
sequences are almost too obvious to
be detailed. When the next genera
tion starts on a low plane, what will
its successors be 2"
If these words came from some re-
former, most of US would be inclined
- ~
since so many people like to say harsh
things about the dance. But when a
leading dancing master talks that
way The est of US ought to take
notice. The plain fact is that the
church must continue to taboo the
modern dance. Personally, the wri-
ter has never thought the old-fash-
iatirFad ar isnqialre qlilsre dape;a, was SO yarY harm
joyment from it as ; 5ov. But the
modern dance with such close prox-
unity of limbs and the body results
only in harmfulness.
Listen to a proprietor CT dance
established in Chicago ]. Louis
Guyon is his name. Mr.. Mcmahon
quotes him as saying: abolish jazz
music. Abolish the fox trot, one step,
toddle, shimmy, or any form of dane
ing or any position that permits the
gentleman to walk directly in front
of his partner" Again he is quoted as
saying: Dancing, our most univer-
sal form of amusement after motion
pictures, has become a greater men,
ace than liquor, segregated vice, OF

CAROLINE CONWAY, COLORED,
SURRENDERED BY BONDSMEN

Deputy Sheriff W. A. Webb came
into down the street last Monday ae-
.ompanied by aunt Caroline Conway.
Os course, she was in custody. Aunt
Caroline didn't make the Sun stand
still, but she did make the mo- /
shine, so is charged with an offense
against the laws of the land.
Aunt Caroline has since been on
the inside looking cut, and has grown
extremely grouchy and Indifferent to
all her surroundings. Her keepers

these dances should have marriage
license before stepping on the ball
room floor, and-if they had mar
riage license, there would be no ex-
cuse for committing such acts IN
public"
When the dancing masters and pro-
prietors of the dancing establishments
speak as have these men, it is time
for the pure-minded men and women
to lend every effort toward Kidding
our country of an evil so deadly 70

The Telegraph of August II, 1921
carries the information as to where
and when aunt Caroline came abreast
of the law. Her still was an oil can
and a gas pipe, but still she made
"bust-head' according to the law.
Her present incarceration is due to
her bondsmen asking relief from fur
ther responsibility.

WatertOwn to Boys

Watertown, July 8-That three
more of the recent series of thefts
and burglaries were the work of
young boys whose desire for spend
ing money, firecrackers and candy
overcame all restraining considera-
tions has been definitely established
in police Investigations, according to
Chief M. J. Conway. In each case
the boy guilty Of the theft has been
located but, because of the fact that
their ages were from 8 to IL years,
were dismissed after police 'lec-
ture."
Two different boys, of about the
same ages, were responsible for the
theft of money from the Modern
Dairy and for the burglaries of the
Consumers Fuel & Ice company Of
flee and the North Star Grocery. The
money taken from the Modern Dairy
was returned and the value of ar
ticles taken from the other places re-
paid.

RAIN INSURANCE
FIRMS HIT HARD
COMPANIES THAT GUARANTEE
FAIR WEATHER GIVEN HARD
BLOW DURING JUNE.

New York. July S-Rain insurance
companies that guaranteed fair
weather for baseball clubs, resort
hotels, hot dog venders, golf players
and vacationists, got an awful wal
lop throughout June and an even
worse blow during the prolonged
weekend which many stretched over
to properly include the Fourth of
July.
Four big companies engaged in
this business paid out more than
100000 to policy holders protected
against bad weather over the indie
pendence day period, brokers esti-
mated today.
Yet, they all feel that the June
rains were good advertisin*, stimu-
lating interest in their field. On
Sunday, June 2, the government
charts reveal, almost every square
mile of land within 200 miles OF At
lantic coast, from Florida to Maine,
was rained upon.
July fourth was almost as bad.
DTdW q Sudhy line ITOHl the leNeeS
at New Orleans to the rock ribbed
coast of Maine and then look at the
map. 1t rained July fourth on all
the country east of that line. Base
ball games were postponed, people
who would have visited resorts
abandoned their plans, open air
amusements were drenched and UNI
brella dealers were the only ones
who had kind word for the wealth
er man.
The big hotels on the Boardwalk
att Atlantic City here had nearly all
taken out rain insurance for the hol-
iday period. Concessions along the
beach were similarly protected. The
hotels, as rule, insured themselves
of receiving gross receipts of a cer-
tain amount and where these fell be-
low the estimates, the insurance pol
icies covered the difference. The
Giants at the Polo grounds had a
100000 policy last Tuesday. July
was just one rain after another.

WILL PUSH WAR
UPON BARBERRY
EVERYTHING IN READINESS TO
WAGE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
RUST BREEDING PLANT.

Pierre, July S-Attention is being
directed to the intensive campaign of
barberry eradication which the fed
eral department of agriculture will
wage in South Dakota this summer,
by the state agricultural department
in printed circular being distribu-
ted to farmers
The federal appropriation for this
work became effective July /, this
circular says, and everything was in
readiness on that date to begin Il
farm to farm survey, with view OF
locating and securing the eradica-
tion OF every barberry bush in the
state. Prof. Lynn ID. Hutton, of
Brookings, state leader in the war
against the barberry, will be in
charge of this field work. A number
of teams will work under his super
vision during the summers cam
paign.
1T is now agreed" says the cir
cular, that the common barberry is
the most effective, If not an essen
tial agent in propagating and spread
ing black rust. The scientists of the
United States department of agri-
culture are agreed that the barberry
is the principal offender and recon-
mend that it be completely EXTERN
mated
According to the federal depart
ment in the four years, 1917 to 1920
inclusive. black rust DESTROYED in
South Dakota alone 15,113,76O bush

The farmers, / am sure" says
Frank M. Byrne, state agricultural
commissioner, ''can be relied on to
aid in the present campaign against
this common enemy, and it Is they
who are to be depended upon for the
riddance of the barberry as a nox-
ious weed, as provided by state law. =

NOTED JUR|ST TO
SPEAK At LAKE
JUDGE MARCUS A. KAVANAGH
HERE TOMORROW-MOV
IN THE EVENING.

Residents of Madison and vicinity
will be given the opportunity of
hearing worth while message given
by noted jurist and lecturer at the
Lake Madison auditorium at 2;30
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon, when
Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh, of Chi
cago, will deliver an address on some
of his work in the Juvenile courts of
that city. Judge Kavanagh's address
marks the opening of series of in
teresting lectures and entertainments
which will be given during the next
two weeks in connection with the
Lake Madison chautauqua.
Having had a wide range of expert
ence as a Juvenile court jurist, Judge
kavanagh is often referred to as
"the Judge Lindsay of Chicago" He
has made thorough study of crime
as it exists in the youth of this coun-
try and the methods of curtailing it.
Just recently Judge Kavanagh was
chairman of a committee of which
Mayor John F. Hylan, of New York,
was a member, which made an in
vestigation of the prisons and penal
institutions of this country. His ad-
dress tomorrow will contain material
which he has gathered through his
wide researches, and will be both
educational and interesting to those
who hear him.
The address will be preceded by a
selection by a mixed chorus of SO
voices of Normal students under the
direction of Prof. f. F. Eversman.
In the evening at the auditorium
the photoplay, orphans of the
Storm" will open for a three-day
run. This picture is ranked among
the more spectacular productions,
having been made under the direc-
tion of d. w. Griffith, who produced
Birth of Nation" and Way Down
East"
The theme of the play deals with
the era of the revolution in France,
when anarchy and mob rule was
rampant. Dorothy and Lillian Gish
play the leading roles, taking the
parts of orphan sisters, who are vic
tins of the terrible conditions
wrought by the revolution. The play
is both educational and thrilling and
leaves the impression that no mat
ter how corrupt a government may
be, 1t is always better than anarchy
and mob rule.
