With "Bossy" Gillis, famous mayor
of Newburyport, Mass. firing the first
gun, the dance derby of the century"

pies entered the contest. and II the
mechanical music producing instru-
ment does not run down or the human
bodies do not drop from fatigue, a week
If steady dancing is the order of the
day. The rules Of the competition call
for an hour of dancing and then fif-
teen minutes of rest. during which time
the derbyists may flop down on a con-
venient cot, sleep. eat or take run
out on the street II they wish.
Mayor Gillis before the beginning Of
the contest, commended the dancers
and said that they were demonstrating
the American spirit. whatever that
means, in connection with spectacle
OF this kind. It Is emphatically not
the American spirit to engage In a
ridiculous exhibition for monetary gain
II is simply a distortion of the COM
petitive spirit by willy promoters who
make suckers" out of the contestants
and those who pay to witness the type
OF walking called dancing in these af-
fairs Mayor Gillis should study what
American spirit really means and

achieve their high ends. In this strik-

to show men that conventional reli-

He cited the Pharisees, who were me-
ticulous In observing the letter OF the

practice that operates within prescribed
limitations may meet all the demands
which some little body or cult enforces;
1t contributes little TO the enrichment
OF the individual and furnishes no In
centive to emulation. To say ones

with reasonable frequency churches. to
give prescribed and fixed amount to
religious and baneficent enterprises

apt to believe that three couples who

country's most flowing dry orator. II
he and Senator Bruce Of Maryland
would debate against each other on this
subject from coast to coast and from
the Canadian line TO the Gulf OF Mex

Of It's most widely interesting issue.
Robins has been defined as our most

There should never be any forgetting,
either, OF the Georgia colored delegate

port OF the convention. The chairman
OF the convention shouted TO him:
For what purpose does the delegate
from Georgia address the ehair?"
The delegate gathered all his wits to-
gether and beloved:
"Hooo-vah."
The funniest thing In the whole con-
vention was the Kansas delegation. 1t
was composed overwhelmingly Of
Hooverites. It voted soiidly against
Hoover for President. It's most active
Hoovertte nominated Curtis for Presi-
dent: II stimulated for him In the con-

These Kansans went dominantly against
the Hooverites on the seating Of Hoover
delegates from contested districts and
on the farm relief debate and vote
They then got Curtis onto the Hoover
ticket. Every Kansan seems to be a Wit.
He also seems to run a newspaper. He
then proceeds TO make all other Kan
sans famous by quoting from them.
That seems 10 be Kansas method OF

from unidentified givers.
