Jazz UP TO PARENTS.

Some persons talk about "syncopated
music" as though it were something altogether
new. Syncopaton in music is merely the shift
ing of the accent Of the measure to an unac-
cented beat. The works of all the great classic
masters abound in examples of syncopation.
However the tendency of exaggerated synopa-
ton is an evidence not of evolution in music but
Of dissolution. or at least degeneration Synco-
patton is the prevailing characteristic of the
music of barbarous and semi-civilzed peoples.
1t strongly marked the music of the American
Indians, and was Incorporated into the general
system of the Negro music of the South.
There is really nothing at all wrong about
syncopation Of itself, but along with syncopa-
ton there IS too apt to be reversion also to the
other characteristics of barbarous music. In
day, this tendency finds expression in the bar
barrie monstrosity which has been called 4jazz."
It is an injustice to synoopation in music to refer
to Jazz as syncopation alone; but the fact IS also
it would be hard to imagine Jazz without the IN
restrained sYncopation.
And whatever may be said of certain va
rieties of dancing to music in which such synco-
patton appears, it nevertheless remains that
legislation. as proposed by the city council Of
Savannah, Ga, will never put an end to the use
of any sort of music for dancing. any more than
it could be expected to put end to cubism in
another art or the absence of good style in writ
ing. It is not the legislation that directs the
Tenderness of peoples, whether in popular amuse-
ment or otherwise.
1t should not be forgotten. too. that many
tendencies appear first on the stage and are aft
erward copied by the public; which shows how
illogical it would be for city to say that certain
music should not be danced to in hotel or pub
lie dancing place, but that it may be used in a
theatrical performance. The place to attack
dancing of the sort that is considered injurious
to public morals is. after all. in the home. So
long as fathers and mothers permit Jazz music
and jazz dancing in their own homes, how can
they be expected to support public sentiment
against jazz

 Chairman Hull is most optimistic. And yet in his statements he Is very cautious. For instance, he will say that the democrats will materially re- duce, the republican majority In the houses of Congress the coming fall. He has reason to hope. to believe, that democrats will win both houses. But he does not so predict At the same time, other democrats, equally as well posted, but not charged with equal responsibility, openly declare that everything indicates & complete turnover" as result of the cam paigns.
 Unless a miracle happens" is the way they put it, ''and everybody gets a job, and prices of farm commodities increase materially, and business springs up like a thing of life, why, the republicans will be swept as dust from a doorstep"
 Chairman Hull will go into every state of the union, in the near future. At the same time he will keep a weather eye on Tennessee, where he is offering again for the House. His election is generally predicted by all observers. Tennessee is back into the fold beyond peradventure, Washing ton is informed.

 At the grave Dr. Lyman Abbott, chairman of the association, intro duced James R. Garfield, Roosevelt's secretary of commerce and labor. who read the address delivered by the colonel before the Nobel press committee at Christiana in 1910, in- cluding the passage:
 Tt would be master stroke if those great powers honestly bent on peace would form a league of peace. not only to keep the peace among themselves. but to prevent, by force, if necessary. it's being broken by others. The supreme difficulty in connection with developing the peace work of The Hague arises from the lack of any executive power. of any police power to enforce the decree of the court"
 Thomas Robbins of Philadelphia placed & wreath on the grave. The association then went to Sagamore Hill, where they were entertained at luncheon by Mrs Roosevelt.

FULL DINNER PAIL MAY BE SLOGAN

Should Use Republican SIo- gan of Other Years Against Republicans, Says Chair
 man Hull
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 Roo DavfdsOu RufId ns

Washington, January 6.-(SpeciaL) campaigns which within few short weeks will be red hot, may adopt as a campaign slogan the old republican cry. "A full diner pail"
 According to Cordell Hull. chair man of the democratic national com mititee, there Is every reason in jus tice and expediency, why the demo- crats should use the republican cam paign slogan of other years against the republicans.
 At any rate, the prevailing condi- tions will serve as democratic thun- der. And 1t will be pointed out that the republicans. despite their boasts from time immemorial. and their in- numerable promises during the cam paign of 1920, have by legislation, att tempted or enacted, scored no success in materially improving conditions.
 According to Chairman Hull. had the republicans when they came into power in 1918 followed the recommen- dations of Woodrow Wilson rather than resorted to partisan politics to the end that republican President might be elected, there would have been no conditions such as prevailed last year. or such as prevail now.
 But because the republicans did play politics, the storm broke and there was no shelter for the people. There was industrial paralysis. The nation rallies, it Is pointed out. not as result of republican treatment, but through it's own virility to throw off indus trial disease. However, the chair man indicates. unemployment, in the great cities. still obtains.
 Chairman Hull refers to the fact that republicans have always re- ferred to the "incapacity of demo- crats." The republicans, he indicates, will not be taken to task so severely tor the condition as for their inca pacity to remedy conditions. The ex- traordinary session will be presented to the voters. Democrats declare 1t to have been a monstrous failure. The tax bill was the one achievement, and the republicans admit that 1t will be
