Under the Moore-Wappenstein regime, the dance hall became temporarily extinct, but singe the advent of the pres ent overlords of public virtue, the city is festering with girl traps. It is generally recognized by police and thinking people alike that the dance hall and its attendant train of evils is in actual results fully on a par with the wine room, with the ad vantage of a much more numerous patronage and a deceptive garb of possible respectability. Decent and respectable, if ad- venturous, men and women, do attend these public dances, and) it is not a physical or moral impossibility to attend them and re tain a statu quo of morality, but it is something of an achieve mient, and is due entirely to personal moral stamina, and not to any advantage of company or surroundings. In this possi bility lurks the great danger, in much the same manner as the man who “can drink and let it alone” has an exemplary respon sibility for juvenile intemperance. The good people who at tend these dances are the unwitting decoys for the weaker, who ate unable to withstand the prurient wiles of those who make dance halls their hunting ground If a man were to open a dog pit for daily or weekly dog fights, the announcement would bring forth such a volume of etclesiastical protests that the whole city would be trembling with righteous indignation, and yet the potentiality for evil in 8 dog fight, compared to the dance hall, is a minute quantity, to the extent of being almost a positive agency for good. To recount the evils originating in the dance Rall would be to repeat the litany of crime, and it is hardly within one per sonal experience to have knowledge of them all. Enough is known by any with the average endowment of worldly wis- dom to nail the conclusion that the dance hall should not be in existence As to why they are permitted to exist there may be an swers and excuses, but the chief and most potent is that the mayor and chief of police cither wish them or don't care Whether the sin be of commissidn or omission makes little dif ference, as long as the dance halls thrive, to the consequent ac- tivity of rescue homes and foundling asylums, together avith compulsory matrimony, desertions, divorce and occasional sui- cide and murder. ey WE PAY FOR ALL WE GET In this world you generally get what you pay for. At least, this comes true in the long ruh. q Thousands are not willing to pay the price of success with 12 the sterling coin of hard work and patient waiting. They are looking for sonte lucky chance to mend their fortune. Why should men expect to make $100 out of $10 by bet- ting on a certain horse? i i Why should they expect to sit down at a poker game and get up with a month's salary earned in an hour or two? Why should they expect a big percentage on money in- vested in get-rich-quick’ concerns? Why do they continually get “let in” by purchasing goods said to be up to the mark at a ridiculously low figure? The answer is that they are looking for something for nothing. And the outcome in most cases is that they get nothing for something. The whole theory of the wisdom of looking for unusually good bargains may well be questioned. Those who advertise marvelously cheap goods whet the appetite of the public for more, and often the end of it is that the quality of the goods is reduced, the customer gets disgusted with the establishment and takes his custom elsewhere ‘The man who has not a great stock of ability to sell should not ask too much for it. Thousands of employes and hundreds of employers are out “bargain hunting”—seekMng to get more value than they give. Stenographers worth $12 a week are looking for positions paying $15, and employers with $15-a- week jobs are trying to get them filled at $12 The employe who is continually seeking more than he, or she, is worth will never get it—for long. On the other hand, the employer who is continually hunting for help at less than it is worth gets the poorest class of labor and unreliable the most unskilled As a rule, in all the lines of life, we get just about what wel pay for, and we pay for all we get The Christian Science dafly paper which will print “Nothing to } Offend the most fastidious,” im going to drive a long lne of city | editors into the belief in the existence of evil { oe neeeeeeeatinmnetieeie 4 While some of the outlying precincts have not been heard from, the returns so far indicate that by tomorrow night most of the tur key wit have been eaten. 7 , a With @ few kopecks and vodkas scattered over the ‘onnessee would make an ideal stage rama landscape, setting for a Russian melo It 16 @ significant fact that those who preach that it ts better to sive than to receive, have ad al! their experience at the recetving ead Frank Hitchcock {# going to be postmaster general, but the per- nicious polities! activity rule will stil! hold among mall carriers.
