Death as a Marathon
Dance Partner

From the Newark Evening News.
After participating nearly forty-eight
days In q marathon dance contest, a
Bayonne young man collapsed, dying a
few hours later. Strain Of the long,
truth only a travesty ON it, plainly was
too much for human endurance in this
case. Added validity is given the pro-
tests which are voiced from time to
time against this form of entertain
ment, diversion or whatever it may be
called
1t is said there is a certain fascina-
ton in watching the shutting, clinging,
half sleeping forms ON the dance floor
as they pursue the killing grind, the
duration of which is determined by hu-
man endurance pushed to its extreme.
This being 60, the attraction must be
much the same as that which attracts
throngs to six-day bicycle races which,
but for occasional brief bursts Of speed,
are monotonous exhibitions of stamina
pitted against time and loss Of sleep.
One needn't attend q marathon
dance, as it is termed. There is no law
compelling one to buy ticket in order
to watch slouching. shambling couples
move about in some relation to the
strains of a blaring orchestra.
Complaints of the marathon dance
form OF sport, nevertheless, are not in
frequent. One is being aired now, down
the State a way. But ON the whole,
the public at large doesn't seem to
feel anything more than mildly revolted
about the marathons and the mara
thoners. Maybe there will be stronger
protest now death has taken one OF
the latter.

The Blanton Method.
From the Ealtirnore Sun.

The rights of the principal speaker
Of the occasion, as opposed to those
making the Introductory remarks, have,
alas, never been clearly defined. Con-
siderations of good taste, sportsman
ship, amiability and many other highly
variable concepts enter into the rela-
tionship between principal speaker and
introducer to confuse their "rights' as
well as those of the third party, the
audience.
Thus, when Representative Thomas
Blanton left the hall at San Angelo, Tex,
where he was scheduled to make the
speech of the evening, after his introducer
had consumed 25 minutes on the job, he
could appeal to no fixed principle Of
right as justification for his action. His
lustifcation for his departure-that the
Introductory speech had been altogether
TOO iong-had to be primarily perso-
nal justification, for there are no rules
to cover the case.
Consequently, in hailing Represents
i've Blanton's performance, we realize
Ina1 we cannot appeal to authority or
10 precedent. Indeed, so far as prece-
Gent goes, the only certain limit on M
troductory speeches Is the physical ca
pacify Of the introducer to keep going,
anG that, too, varies from person to
person. None the less, we have our
feelings in such matters, and our feel
ing Is that Mr.. Blanton, in his own pc
culiar and impulsive way, has minis
tered brilliantly to 'long-felt need"
The pity Of it, as we think, Is that MS
action cannot be elevated to the posi-
ton of fixed and immutable principle. :
That, however, cannot destroy its ster-
ling worth.

together, give them banners TO carry,
and have q few Of them cracked over
the heads by the police and perhaps
sent to jail. Public sentiment in favor
Of the under dog is expressed in SYM
pathy of q sort for the scatterbgains,
which is duly capitalized By the
agftators.
Where the exploitation Of young chill
dren is concerned. there can be only
loathing for the men who stoop to
such a contemplate device. In this
most liberal and tolerant Of ma
tions, the Bin Of Rights offers
protection to some queer creatures.
In this case neither the consti-
tutional rights of individuals nor the
widespread distress of unfortunte men
and women takes up much Of the pic
ture. The rs.scals who are willing to
utilize the tragedy Of . hungry and
tired child to shield themselves deserve
something more than q crack over the
head with . policemans nightstick.
There are penalties for their crime, and
the police will not have done their job
until they arrest and bring into court
those guilty Of its commission.

Exploiters of Children.

The small but determined group Of
cheap agitators in this country who
call themselves Communists are usually
rather clever in their choice Of means
to advertise themselves and whatever
cause they for the moment may choose
to champion. Their demonstrations,
adorned as they are with the super
ficial aspects of force and usually
marked by a few dog-ight brushes
with the sometimes nervous police. are
Of enough interest to grab space in
the headlines-which Is their objective.
And the agitators and ringleaders
themselves, always safely In the rear
and strangely absent from the scene of
conflict, not only manage to escape
with their skins, but with their repu-
tations as dangerous characters
Is their other objective.
It is with considerable amazement.
therefore. that one has noted the utterly
stupid plan Of the agitators to exploit
children In the demonstration planned
for today. For the brutality Of the
spectacle will appeal widely to long
suffering public and react. not against
the children or In favor Of any cause,
but against the agitators. The custom

Rooster as Party Emblem
Has Only Limited Support

SANDS Of American newspaper offices Of
the Democratic persuasion there must
be dusty cuts of Chanticleer ready for
use whenever requisitioned."
"The Daniels proposal does not sit
well with the party" thinks the Houston
Chronicle, observing the protests
against relegating to oblivion the
donkey whose heels have so recently
made their mark on the tough side OF
the Republican elephant" The Chron-
icle adds: tom Mast, the cartoonist,
made the donkey the party emblem OF
Democracy go years ago, and the
doughty little kinsman of the mule has
quite evidently won his way into the
hearts and affections of millions who
would be 10th to see change made.
Josephus Danie,s is an able man and
a loyal Democrat, but the Tarheel pub
Usher is out Of step with the general
sentiment of his party. From Texas
to the National Capital, the shouts Of
dissent are heard and will no doubt
reach the ears of those party politicians
who are adept at keeping their ears
to the ground and listening to the
popular viii. The donkey had enough
kick left In him to shatter the ponder
GUS pachyderm Of the G. o. p. 60 years
after Tom Mast first drew him. and the
ma ajority Of those for whom he stands
are content to let well enough alone"
The Lincoln State Journal offers the
reply to the former cabinet member:
HE speaks of the style and beauty Of
the rooster and urges that the donkey
be relegated to the limbo. The donkey
adherents will not give in easily, how
ever The donkey was victorious. What
more could be asked? What Mr.. Daniels
is doing is stirring up party row that
may have serious consequences.
"His suggestion comes" states the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, at o
time when the party has more to crow
over than it has had before for a long
time. But the proposal Is rather aca-
demic. The cartoonists, principal users
of the emblem, are likely in any case
to stick to the familiar animal which
Thomas Mast originated. And the party
in the course of its history will have
plenty more to kick about"

Manchurians Found
Indifferent to Change.
Manchuria Daily News, Dairen.-The
Y. NJ. c. A. party has just returned to
Toxic after making a fairly thorough
survey of the situation in this country,
and their findings, as typified in the
address Of Mr.. Durgin particularly, can
not escape important classification.
Here is an independent finding which
must recommend itself to the diStin-
guished jury now in Manchuria:
I'VE found that the great mass of the
population, from $4,000. 900 to 10000 900
people, were more or less uneducated,
knowing little and caring less about
things political. All they want is to
have an opportunity of working and
living. They were oppressed during
past years by Chang TSo-lin and the
war lOrQS unQer nun, VINO imposed a
terrific tax burden. They are hopeful
of the promises of the new regime, the
promises being that the taxes will be
reduced and their burden hghtened. and
yet they know that the bandits are
worse than ever today, so there is a
feeling Of unrest and fear regarding the
immediate future"
Lest We be accused Of tearing from
the text to make case contrary to the
general tenor of Mr.. Durgin's remarks,
let us admit that the speaker did no
tice an opposition to the new govern
ment on the part of the educated
classes" but it Is evident he excludes
small shopkeepers and tradesmen and
officials of government from the intel
lectual category, for we find them, re-
spectively, waiting to see which way
the wind blows" before adjusting their
patriotic feelings or remaining in Man
churia, feeling that by SO doing they
could serve the people"
All Is not hopeless in Manchuria, &C
cording to the conclusions of Mr.. Dur
gin, for I'VE were happy to see indica-
tiors Of confidence, especially among
the Christian groups, in every city, of
the ability to get together on basis Of

istence In one all-inclnsive whole, and
he convinced himself that that unity

Of God are not supernatural nor illogi-
cal Mans place In the universe. 1t
follows, II deffnite, rational place,
and his value Is practical in character.
Human beings, like God and nature,
have a rational explanation. Mans
duty Is to labor for the common good,
and an Intellectual love toward God is
necessary. knowledge is important be-
cause 1t frees man from bondage to his
emotions, and intuition Is the highest
kind Of knowledge.
Spinoza was a master of speculative
projection and OF keen psychological
analysis. He felt an innate inclination
toward truth, and did not attempt to
deny It. The task Of freeing God from
misrepresentation was the business of
his life. and his goal was o concept
Of the Deity that good and intelligent
individuals might whoieheartedly ad-

four years, but at the moment of his
death he had solved his problem. H.,

He believed because 1t Is logical. sane
and rational to believe. Thus, the VIC
tory Of his life was his conquest of
unreason In his own personality and,
by example. in human personality In
general.
His contemporaries considered him
an atheist. Their verdict has been re-
vised. The synagogue that expelled
and cursed him has re-entered his
name on the roll Of its members. The
city where he went in fear of the mob
now boasts of his residence within its
walls. Every human being in the
world who is measurably free TO think
and to act IN conformity with the dc
tates Of an enlightened conscience owes
him debt Of gratitude.

The proposal by Josephus Daniels
former Secretary Of the Navy, that the
Democratic party abandon the donkey
as its emblem and return to the rooster
is received by the country with some
doubt as to the feasibility of the plan
The bird, 1t is conceded, has an in
huential place in the present political
situation, but the animal is regarded
with affection that might prevent its
being displaced. Some comments en-
phasize the possibility of making a
double change, with the Republicans re-
turning to the eagle.
In all post-election sentiments there
is apparent desire for all to get to-
gether for the common good" says the
San Francisco Chronicle, with the
query, VIII the rooster lie down with
the eagle?" In further discussion that
paper remarks: Editor Daniels haunts
his determination by placing at the
masthead of his Raleigh News and
Observer the rooster, rampant and
mutely riotous. He confesses that he
sees In the bird more style and beauty
than in the plebeian donkey. He hears
a Clarion cali In its Growing that was
altogether lacking in the bray of the
cantankerouS critter Cartoonist Mast
fcisted on his party as a symbol of
Democracy. It's all matter of taste,
and the warning was sounded long ago
that such matters are not to be dis
puted. In a spirit Of cooperation, how
ever, the Republicans might now ahan-
don the elephant and go back to the
eagle"
"There is more kick in the donkey
than in a rooster" declares the Rock
Island Argus, "and bray is louder than
ROSTERS clarion call. Maybe the
rooster should be reserved for use only
when the Democrats are victorious. But
wouldn't that be unjust to the donkey
to make him give place to a rooster
after he has borne the heat and burden
of conflict? Furthermore, when the
rooster was the Democratic emblem the
Republican emblem in many sections
was the American eagle. The elephant
has crowded out the eagle as the donkey
has the rooster. Fair enough" The
Saratoga Springs Saratogian offers the
Judgment: "As Mr.. Daniels points out,
the rooster has 10 times more beauty
and style and clarion call than the
donkey and he makes, very likely,
far better emblem. But will the party
return to him? Few voters new alive
can remember back to the pre-donkey
age. 1t is probable that Mr.. Daniels
campaign to retire the donkey will have
hard shedding"
With an Endorsement of Mr.. Daniels
belief that "the Democratic party should
choose its own emblem" the Providence
Journal quotes his argument that "the
rooster has 10 times more style and
beauty and clarion call than the DON
KEY" and AIDES: I'VE are inclined to
think he is right, though something
more than style, beauty and clarion call
may be desirable in a party emblem
The donkey Is not a handsome beast,
but he Is patient, industrious and de-
pendable. The rooster, ON the other
hand, doesn't know much, is inclined to
be vain and has an annoying habit of
waking up at ungodly hours. However,
the rooster was formerly much in vogue

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

have turned green, In which cars rush
by in both directions.
Almost always this period is followed
by another, and much shorter, space OF
time, during which in most instances
there are only a few cars coming, and
almost always these show up from one
direction only.
This gives the enterprising street
pioneer his perfect chance, at least as
near perfect as he will be able to Sc
cure nowadays.
He waits for the last Of the cars going
west, and then makes ready to run for
it lust as soon as the last Of the cars
going east passes him.
Thus he is saved the cars swinging
into him closely at the corners, and
has a crossing relatively free from any
cars at all.
This state of affairs, of course, is
exactly what the man afoot wants.
About the cnly place in block he
can find it is off-corner.
Thus the "jay-walker," so-called,
proves himself to be a thinker, a man
who uses his eyes to observe, and MS
head to plan.
What he wants is safety, and he finds
more of it in the center of the block
than at either end let him deny it who
will. Someone is always denying
something.
The problem of the pedestrian in
modern traffic-and every one is a
pedestrian at times-is peculiar. and
has not been given the attention 1t
deserves.
The psychology Of the man afoot is
the beginning of traffic wisdom and
safety
Ali the lights and traffic ''cops" in
the city cannot prevent accidents, in
luries and fatalities, if the pedestrian
is not forever cognizant OF the fact that
he is, in simple fact and truth, man
afoot.
Yet nothing is more common than
for mature people to forget the vast
difference, in collision, between the hu-
man body and the car body. They
forget the real danger Of crossing the
street. They lose sight Of the fact that
for the first time in the long history
You remember the old country saying,
"a chicken hasn't got enough sense to
cross the road"
Now everything afoot Is In the hens
place. She knows about as much about
crossing the road as most of us. Wait
until there is a clear space-and then
run for it. That is mans wisdom, and
the chickens.
X X X
The first essential, then, of the sue
cesSful street crosser Is to realize the
danger he faces.
Many persons know the danger,
theoretically, but they do not translate
it into terms of the everyday.
If you were to ask them, rs crossing
the street easy, or pleasant, or Safe?"
they would instantly reply in the mega
tive.
When they get at some downtown
corner, however, faced by rushing
streams Of cars, they often forget ali
about the danger and sally forth as If
all motorists were courteous, kindly and
unwilling to hurt a fly.
The pedestrian must know his dan
ger, first of all. He must recognize the
chances he takes, human nature bsing
what 1t Is.
And then he must seize his oppor-
tunity to get across. If this demands
that he cross in the middle of the block,
at time selected by himself in his own
best interests, we, for cne, cannot see
that any one dare say anything to him.
If there were more good Jay walkers"
there would be fewer manned and killed
persons.
