Outclassing anything of its kind ever given in this city the Beta Phi Sir;ma fraternity dance last evening held In the Pythian Temple proved to be th moat, successful event ever given by a fraternity in this city. ThiB fraternity is very popular hero and its memberahlpa made up of many prominent young men of this city who are well known socially. The hall was artistically decorated for the occasion. Strands of strung cedar were brought from the corners of the room and fastened In the center from which was suspended a huge green Christmas bell made of cedar. Red Christmas bells were also used In carrying out tha Yule-tide idea of decoration. The dance music. which by the way was above the average, was furnished by the Russell Smith Orchestra of Indianapolis. The orchestra was stationed behind a screen of palms and ferns at the East end of the hall. Above the platform were pennants. To the south of the hall was suspended a pretty Kappa Alpha Phi pennant. The Psl Iota Xi and Beta banners were alto used about the room. Perhaps the most unique and attractive feature of the program of dances were the beautiful moonlight dances. At the west of the hall a device had been effected whereby the different fraternity emblems were displayed. This was very attractive and added much to the success and pleasure of the occasion. The chaoerones were Mr. and Mrs. George Dilks and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jay. The programs were very attractive and were in the form of a little booklet. The coverlet was made of black leather engraved with the Beta seal. There were many out-of-town guests present. At twelve o'clock an intermission was given for luncheon. Dancing was continued until three o'clock in the morning. The dancers were Miss Marie Brown, Miss Gladys Meyers, Miss Lucy Smyser.

WASTE PAPER ORDINANCE NOT ENFORCED

People Throw Trash into the It All Over Town. The Good Government BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Isn't there an ordinance prohibiting people in the throwing of loose papers in the alley? If there is it isn't enforced. Nothing contributes more to the dis orderly and unkempt appearance of a j town than the litter of papers blown j hither and yon by every passing breeze. I The householders who do observe the local ordinance, and either put their trash of this description into a covered box or in a shed in the yard. ' are at the mercy of those who dump it indiscriminately into the alley for the wind to catch up and whirl into the streets and on the sidewalks in front of the residences of the others And into their dooryards, also. j This is a local law that ecu Id he 1 and should be enforced and would. in its result, do an amazing lot toward the improvement of the general surface appearance of things. Herein is illustrated that disregard for the rights of others royally displayed by the average citizen. What if my old papers do blow ; round and lodge in my neighbor's front ! yard! If 1 put 'em in he alley its the , city's place to come round and gather ; 'em up. When I throw them overboard that's all I'm MOing to do. I'm' not going to buy any box with a lid tion there are enough laws if they were properly enforced. There are, in fact, too many laws. The machinery of society iB so tied up with a tangle of red tape that it doesn't run with the ease and smoothness which is supposedly attendant upon a multiplicity of regulations. There is "entrenched privilege," "special privilege," in enforcing the law-. As animadverted upon the other day this is notoriously so in the matter of divorce. Everybody knows it. And it's also what's the matter with marriage. Or one of the things. If the current laws were properly applied many disastrous marriages that is disastrous to society at large would be avoided. The celebrated "liquor question" might also have its rigors mitigated if the present statutes were enforced without either fear or favor. Combinations of capital could be beneficially regulated if the laws we already have were impartially administered. So far as the ordinary intelligent that end if an absolutely impartial body of human beings in a position to i pass upon its provisions would declare its "meaning and intent" and also its possibilities. Maybe the popular conception of Roosevelt may be wrong. Maybe Roosevelt as he is conceived by the average citizen or citizeness is I a myth. But all the same he doesn t seem to go so far wrong In his utterances about the absurdity of the belief in the inviolability of the bench. In instance there was our friend.

Without doubt one of the worst examples of civic corruption was the spectacle of the publisher of "Town Topics." a vile, blackmailing, malicious publication masquerading as a recording of the doings of the various "smart sets'" of the country and published by a well known municipal judge of New York.
