The Mohawk Junior athletic club
has an odd ambition. 1t Is desired
that every member be dancer.
Today exactly fifty members OF
the club can push mean FOOT,
sling nifty shoulder and bend an
oily knee.
William Dollar, Milo Sears and
Melvin Mitchell, graceful trio, are
the clubs dancing masters. They
paw the floor with delicate skull.
They impart with rare ability
their skill to others. Believe it
or not, i'm little more than no time
at all, they have taught thirty
clumsy .hOOfed athletes and near
athletes how to dance.
Before Dellar, Sears and Mitchell
let in the dancing bug at the club.
twenty members were acquainted
with the art of keeping time to
jazz.
Now, as stated before, the total
of dancers has reached fifty, and Is
rapidly growing. Approximately
sixty members remain to be taught
and when they have taken the
necessary lessons, the Mohawk
juniors will have the dancingest
sandlot club in town.
But there is method in the dane
ing madness Of the Mohawk juniors
The purpose il three-fOld. New

risk his pewter-lined crown.
John L. Sullivan in his soberest
moments would not have thought
once before exposing his sensi-
tive little diadem to the ravages
OF a hungry class Of morbid
pugilists.
He always knew who he was go
ing to fight. But all Dempsey
knows he is going to battle Some
body-Somethme.
With Sullivan it was Anybody,
Anyplace, Anytime, loser take
nothing. With Dempsey it is
Somebody, Sometime, Somewhere,
I1l-Help- Myself.
Four years ago Dempsey could
stutter slightly in figures of
three ciphers loosely distributed
with decimals, but now he is a.
deaf mute until the radio begins
to flash six-syllable numerals.
When Jack Kearns picked
him up, Dempsey couldn't count
beyond two-bits, and his alphabet
was confined to the letter (x)
which he signed opposite his
name.
Champion has since learned
phonetic thinking, abbreviated
fighting, reverse English and
elongated financing. He's per-
fectly at home in any situation
which doesn't call for boxing
gloves and gongs.
If Dempsey actually does
stumble onto trouble, thousands
will travel millions to see curios-
ity of champion out of his trance.

Of law and order for the methods of
force, Mrs. Winter said.
THE only way to prevent war is to
prevent the desire for war, and the
way to prevent the desire for war is
to put something in its place. We
must have law or we shall have law
lessness. Whatever persons and
whatever parties offer suggestions or
methods by which we can substitute
law for lawlessness. let us seize upon
the opportunities offered.
"Our dependence upon all the coun-
tries of the world comes home to us
in a hundred ways. 1t is not only a
matter Of communication, it is a mat
ter Of interrelated life. When we
think of the opium trade in China and
that we use more opium than France,
Germany and Italy combined, and
that 30 per cent. Of the opium in the
United States is used as dope and not
as medicine. perhaps no other single
fact can bring home to us more con-
clusively the necessity for sharing in
the great international movement
Of the raising of the poppy. This is
not a national problem. but an inter-
national problem to be solved by in
ternational means.
How far below the surface Of this
brilliant, bitter. conflicting, tumultous,
self-seeking world do the old springs
OF emotion lie and the eternal tender
ness? Out Of the tumult Of these alb
solutely conflicting elements we have
got to make a new kind of a world.
Civilizations are crushed b. their own
weight Of stupidity or inquiry. The
elements in our hands today are so
magnificent, that to stand inert and
let things slip by is too stupid to be
tolerated..

They Never Sleep
(public Ledoer)

t1uDllC Ledger
The other day General Lord, Direc-
tor of the budget. said We would have
a national surplus of $50, 900 at the
end of the fiscal year. The taxpayer
had been told there would be a deficit
of maybe 100000. 900. AT the generals
statement the taxpayers heart leap
cd high with hope. Surely the day
was at hand when Federal tax bur-
dens might be reduced.
Not so if members of Congress lin
gcring in Washington are right, and
probably they are. Senator Smoot is
head of the Senate Finance Commit
tee. He knows the taxing temper and
the taxation temptations of the Ma
tion. He has seen the lean taX-eating
wolves gather many times outside the
Capitol. Senator Smoot doubts that
taxes will ever again be reduced.
He sees the soldier bonus coming
UP again and passing in the Sixty
Eighth Congress. If it is vetoed, he
sees it passed over the veto. u
Beyond that he sees a general ser
vice pension for some 100000 World
War veterans. AS one who knows
something of the financial burdens
and the political ramifications of the
Civil War pensions, he is without
nope, anu W lilill tIeIc Is iiduSHI DuI
darkness over the face of the taxa
ton deep.
More taxes rather than less is the
way the sentinels on the Washington
watch towers viewed the future. Sen
ate leaders hope. without much hope,
there will no. agitation this winter for
tax reform. They think it loaded;
dangerous. Pointing to La Follette's
vari- colored group and the farm bloc.
they ask what chance there is for any
reduction of surtaXeS. or reduction of
the normal tax on higher than aver
age incomes, or for lessening the tax
burdens of business. The farmers
want such taxes raised rather than
lowered. Their necks are stiff with
determination to slap the so per
cent. surtax back on the schedule.
The Senate is filling up with sold
icr- bonus advocates and believers in
high surtaXes. They have a dozen
places to put every dollar we recover
on our war loans. Beaten off in the
Sixty seventh Congress, the taX-eat-
crs are rallying again. The bureau
creators and bonus hunters, hungry
as wolves and Unsuitable as the croco-
die, will be back in force. Like the
paw of the monkey, their wants never
are filled.
We may hope that Senator Smoot
and those others who view with
alarm are wrong; but we have rea-
son to feel they are right. The Treas
ury raider never sleeps.
