n COMMENT & MSCOMMKNT
Slowly but surely the inexorable
"bluenoscs" are gaining the upper
hand in these western wild. Some of
these, days it will be necessary for us
to apply to a welfare board for a per
mit before we cnn purchase our daily
round of cigars, and we'll probably
ave to undergo a physician examina
tion and testify as to our financial fit-
ess before we pet the blue card auth-
izine Glen Miller to issue us a couple
f Cabagoes each morning. This will
undoubtedly pave us money, so per-
aps it may be jut as well not to
orry about it.
The followinr remarkable statement
was made recently by Mrs. Alice Gres-
ham Dodd, the mother of Corporal Jas,
B. Gresham, who was the first Ameri
can soldier killed in France. The state
ment was made at the Gresham Me
morial Home, which was presented to
her by the patriotic people of Indiana
as an evidence of their appreciation of
the services rendered to his country
by her son.
The shock of her son's death re
sulted in a serious breakdown in Mrs.
Dodd's health, but every one wirl learn
with interest and pleasure that she is
now in splendid health again. Mrs,
Dodd gives the entire credit for her
vecovery to the celebrated medicine,
Tanlac. y
She said:, "After my dear boy's
leath I had a general breakdown in
health. At first it was just indiges
tion. My food would upset me and I
had to diet myself very carefully. I
also had rheumatism with severe pains
in my shoulders, back and arms and at
times I would suffer greatly, and my
joints would become swollen and f-tifv.
1 was hardly able to do but very lil'e
about the house and at times rould nrt
even cook a meal. I became very
nervous and restles and at night would
lie awake for hours.
"A friend of mine advised me to try
Tanlac. I am glad I did, for it proved
to be the best medicine 1 have ever
taken . It soon gave me a splendid
appetite and relieved me entirely of
indigestion. My rheumatism a'so dis
appeared and I am now ob'e '.o lo my
house work with the greatest ease. My
nerves are steady and strong. I sleep
well at night and my health is better
than in years. I shall always be
grateful for what Tanlac has done for
me."
Tanlac is sold in Alliance by F. E,
Kolsten; in Hemingford by the Hem
ingforu Mercantile company anl in
HofTIand by the Mallery Grocery Co.
Every now and then the reform
fever hits some new town. The last
one we recall reading about was Col
umbus. The city council in that place,
according to Edgar Howards tele
gram, which is absolutely trustworthy
nd reliable, got in a tremendous rush
at the last meeting night and crowded
through a dance ordinance. Now, the
ordinance is probably all right. Cer
tainly it would not aflect us in any
way even if we lived in that town, and
we aren't planning to visit there. We
had understood that the chief amuse
ment in that fair city was rolling
African golf balls, but our informant
probably traveled with another crowd.
The Columbus ordinance hits partic
ularly at public dances, and provides.
first and foremost, a $5 license fee.
Dancing is specifically prohibited on
Sunday night. The mayor and council
are to appoint special officers to su
pervise all public dances, preserve or
der, prevent improper dancing ind
make arrests when they so desire, ivo
child under sixteen years of age may
attend a public dance, unless accom
panied by a parent, and all between the
ages of sixteen and eighteen mint tie
chaperoned, although for these rges
the chaperone need not be the parent.
there is a penalty of $100 lor viola
ion.
LAKESIDE
Legion is Not Making
Exorbitant Demands of
The State Legislature
The Nebraska Legion Is asking less
of th .-late legislature than Ameri
can Legion men in other stutes have
already secured or are backing in the
present legislature session. The Nor
val bill amended as to strengthen the
existing language laws, the .Japanese
land act and the loxing bill have all
received legion support in Nebraska;
while. the farm and home aid bill is
endorsed. The one piece of legislation
the veterans' organization is absolute
ly determined to have however, is
their own b.ll to provide badly needed
financial assistance to the wounded,
disabled and needy and their families.
For this they are asking an appropria-
on of $2,000,000 wh.ch will be in-
ested in l.berty bonds and the inter-
st used for relief work among ex-
service men. The principal would re
vert to the state, when the need for it's
use has passed. l,eg!onaires are hope
ful that legislators will see. the justice
of thus insuring the wounded and dis
abled veterans against want, and pass
their bill without modifications..
"Compare our modest requests with
the legislative schedules in other
i states," said a legionaire who is in
Iclose touch with the state house af-
,le, the American Legion program
provides for a recreation bill, for the
establishment of recreation centers in
cities and towns; a bill making Armis
tice day a holiday, which has also lieen
passed in Nebraska; a bill authorizing
the submission of an amendment to
the state constitution providing that
only naturalized citizens may vote; a
bill legalizing boxing; and bills cieat-
ng an American l.eg on loan tund to
for the erection
morial building."
of a f2.000.000 me-
faire, recently. "In Texas, for exam-, benefit veterans and their children and;
George C. Snow, president of the
Nebraska I'ress association, is a can
didate for appointment as internal
revenue collector at Omaha find some
of the wise ones say he has the inside,
track. All the editors will be for him,
especially if he will show a disposi
tion to be a little bit careless about
inspecting editorial income tax blanks.
We suppose, looking at it from the
standpoint of a stern moralist, that
such an ordinance is absolutely Ml
right, yet somehow the thought siezes
us that it would be better for children
n their teens to be dancing at public
dances rather than wandering at will
along the streets, or attending private
dances, which do not come under the
ban at all. Any organization or dub
may conduct an unsupervised dance.
This rnay not mean much in Columbus,
but in such towns as Grand Island it
would be infinitely worse than public
dances.
However, we'll trust that the Colum
bus city council knows its stulf and
has considered the matter most piay
erfully from every angle. It's a trifle
doubtful whether they did, for it was
discovered, after the ordinance had
been duly passed and immediately
signed by the mayor, that there was a
joker in it. The intent had been to
stop Sunday dancing, but the ordinance
was so worded that every time
hould have said Sunday, it did say
Sunday night." ami therefore SunJay
afternoon dances aren't prohibited at
all.

So near as we can tell from this dis
tance from the dance floor, the dance
isn't nearly so much in need of regula
tion as a whole lot of other things,
The dance is ciuite tame, indeed, in
comparison with what it was two or
three years ago. and 11 the tool re
formers will keep their hands off it
the chances are that within a year or
so it will be entirely back to normal
The minute, however, that the touchy
brethren and sisters get to lettmg it
be known that they think the dance
is the chief instrument of the devil
the more young people will be at
tracted to it.
It's surprising what a lot of freak
notions have their beginning in high
schools. This must not be taken, right
at first blush, as a slap at the Alliance
vounersters who affect half-hose am
powder their noses more often than is
approved by some of the faculty. We
are referring to the wear-overalls
craze, and some of the others along
that line. About every so often w
hear of the girls in some high school
forming an organization and agreeing
that they will not "keep company
with any boy who smokes cigarets, or
the bovs deciding that they will re
frain from dancing attendance on th
young miss who rouges her cheeks or ,
touches up her shiny nose. Probably
this sort of organizat'on does no par
ticular harm, and they are notoriously ,
short-lived. ' ,

Thus, when we learn that the girls
in the high school at ttvanston, 111.,
have formed a Truth club, and intend
to follow the sterling example of
Everett True for the rest of their
P"ural live, we don't shudder to think
what life in Evanston will be in five
years.. It's interesting simply as un
indication ot youtntui precocity, ine
Evanston girls have it bad. though,
and if thev keep on as they have
started, there'll be merry hades to
pay. 1 ne president oi me nun we
wish we had her picture says of the
objects of the organization: "We are
pledged to tell tne trutn on an occa
sions. Instead or telling ioiks mai we
are glad to meet them when we really
don't care about it, we just up ami
tell them so. We are warring to the
death on the 'pink vices' and the 'white
lies.' "

You are hereby privileged to figure
out for vourself just wnere sucn a
resolve would lead you, gentle reader,
if you were to carry it out for an even
twenty-four hours. Thus, when the
boss of the V. IC ask us now we lined
our dinner, we would smile sweetly,
and say: "Fair enough, except the
d d carrots." As it is, we simply
save the carrots and say nothing about
them. All we can say of the Evanston
scheme that it is a pippin, if one could
only follow it and be allowed to live.
