The tango, it seems, has attained 4he dignity of a sociological prob lem. Mayor Harrison of Chicago ha: appointed a committee of the City Council to frame a tango ordinance, which will decide what is good in the modern dance and what is of thei devil, so to speak. A Cleveland judge recently constituted himself a judge of terpsichorean morality, and, after witnessing several exhibitions of the famous dance, decidedwthat it was within the pale of decency. * Now we hear that a New Jersey elergyman has faced the problem bravely. It seems that the members of his wongregation abandoned golf and tennis and passed their leisure bears in the tango's exercise. A con test between the spiritual and the emtpoial seemed inevitable but the dergymian. was a resourceful man oe opened the door to the sinner ag. has established a school in whicb the young people of his par wh are taught properly the modern A tango invasion has swept every taing before it.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: A State suffrage convention will meet in New Orleans next week to take up the question of votes for women. It will appejl to the Legislature for suffrage, either through an amend ment or preferably hirough a con stitutional convention. It will be remembered that the proposition was advanced by Miss Kate Gordon that the convention soon to meet in Baton Rouge take up the woman suffrage question. The Legislature showed no disposition to order this -in fact, could not do so under the Governor's call, and it is very, doubtful whether the convention can or will take up the matter. It may be suggested that a convention will be called later to make certain changes in our laws, and the suffra gists will probably ask that in such an event woman suffrage be pre seated at that time. We deem the calling of a convention unlikely. The proealtion will probably have to wait for an amendment and a popu lar vote. It will probably not he very difficult to secure such a vote. The arguments in favor of letting he- voters pass oin any proposition are strong. Louisiana has adopted the most extreme Democratic doc trine--that:the people have a right to be consulted on all questions and to vote on them, and while the ref erendum is not in operation in Louisiana under the law, it is in force in principle. The Legislature has shown a disposition to submit to the people any question of import ance that is strongly supported. In other words, the Louisiana doctrine is that if the people want woman suffrage t~PcrY -ino-reasoi-why it should not be granted.

We are now well satisfied with our system of forecasting except r that sometimes the small up' and f down movements of the tempera- N tures may be defective. We have the c rainfall problem, in a general way, C solvd. The forecasts of rainfall will r not be perfect, but good enough for r practical purposes. We will gener ally succeed in forecasting cold a waves and frosts. We have the dates I of the great storms and can now, to some extent, point out their loca tions. Our forecasts of crop weather and probable crop conditions will surely be mlbre valuable than ev."r before. Friends of our forecasts can as- i sist us by getting their neighbors ' enough interested to subscribe for t newspapers and magazines ',that } publish our work. Something Worth Rememuberin C Collier's Nov. 8: Before the Sulzer ease passes completely intg4mistor' there is one aspect of it 'which honuld be emphasized, both because it is not.obvious and' because it 'has a bearing upon many other affairs. The counts of the Sulzer indict mlent were these: Art. 1--Charging the Governor t with, making a false statement of campaign receipts and payments. , Art. 2-Charging him with -pe:'-] jury in swearing that the statement was true. Art. 3--Charging him with bribing witnesses to withhold testimony from the Frawley committee.

New Orleans States: According to the chief of the ordnance depart mentment of our army, the United States for the first time in history. prepared to arm and equip "at a mo ment's notice" an army of half a million men. This is encouraging so far as it goes, but it is well not to forget that in the last analysis it is only war that provides a real test of a nation's fighting efficiency. At the same time is is pleasing to know that the United States Army has modern rifles ani other equipment for a force of half a million men. There have been times when it did not have proper equipment for one tenth of that number. At the present time the entire mil itary force of the United States, both the regular army and the State militia, does not number half a mril lion, hence it has been suggested in Congress that we might build up a reserve by holding on to men who have served in the regular army. After their terms have expired they might be willing to serve three.. or four years in reserve regiments. If the men who have served in the regular army could be induced to form part of a reserve force, it would undoubtedly mean a good deal to the future fighting strength of the Nation. We have the equip ment for an army of half a million men today, but as things are it would take us some time to develop a trained army to use the equip nent. Falsehoods Against the South.

In Philadelphia was circulated a story that Connie Mack of the Athletics had traded Outfielder .lames Walsh to the New York Americans as part of a deal by which Frank Chance sent Claude Derrick to the Baltimore club. partly owned by Mack. last year. When President Farrell of the New York Americans was asked about the sup posed deal he declared that. while he hadn't ' actually signed papers that would make Walsh his property. some thing might come of it later on. "The report Is a trifle premature." said Farrell. "and I only wish that I could confirm it. It is true that last summer when Chance let Derrick go to the Baltimore club he asked Mack to let him have an outfielder. "ne of six then wearing Athletic uniforms.
