OLD TIME DANCES ARE DISAPPEARING
1 I
To include in the term “the poetry of motion" some oi j
the recent day dancing outrages perpetrated by so-called j
dancing style dictators, is indeed to insult the meaning ol j
the time-honored phrase.
The decorum of waltz and more lively movements of |
two-step are considered entirely outside the pale by some j
of the alleged dance originators of modern times.
And therefore the dancing advocates have foisted on
them such ridiculous and accentric and uncalled for per
ambulations and meanderings and syncopated steppings
as “Walking the Dog," “Teasing the Cat," “The Lame
Duck." “The Toddle," and perhaps “The Blind Stag
gers." At least that last title would appropriately tit some
of the modern day “fancy" dance creations.
AN "EX POST FACTO- RULING
Fair minded persons will concur with the supreme
court in its decision that all persons adjudged guilty of an
offense against the laws of the l nited States must pay
such fine or serve such sentence as is meted out to them.
They will not concur, ho wever, with the decision ol
the department of justice to go behind the present and
make all persons who have benefited through suspended
sentences since 1907, serve time as fixed in those sen
tences. The action savors too much of “ex post facto/
and one of the rigid rules of justice is that no law or rul
ing shall be retroactive.
The giving of suspended sentences, while a perni
cious custom on many respects, has a few good points
for it held out to the convicted person an opportunity of
retaining freedom by living right. To now send a man or
woman to jail to serve a sentence meted out in 1908 or ’9,
after that person has lived an upright life as ordered by
the court at the time of suspending sentence, would entail
a cruelty not contemplated under the law. The situation
is fraught with grave possibilities.
While the news item from Chicago states that the
district attroney there is busy making up a list of past of
fenders who were allowed to go on suspended sentences,
no word of similar action comes from elsewhere and it is
to l>e trusted that the department of justice will give the
matter the second time over and make it apply only from
now henceforth.
In many districts the federal judges never suspend
ed sentence and it is possible that only a few sections will
be in anyway affected.
NATURE FAKING
Now for a little research into biology, which is re
spectfully submitted to T. Roosevelt, faunal naturalist of
note:
A Valdez man is trying the experiment of crossing
bird dogs with snow shoe rabbits in hopes of getting a (log
team which will be aide to go over the surface of the snow
like the rabbit does, without necessitating breaking trail
for them. While his expernments have met with little
success so far on account of his being unable to catch the
rabbit he has great hopes that when he gets the dogs and
rabbits together something will happen. It probably will,
to the rabbits.—The Miner.)
