chorean art are obeyed, dancers will

jerky two-step is TO be transformed

stions. At the same time it is more
than doubtful whether even the
welghty influence of the American
dancing masters will be sufficient tc
drive rag-time music entirely out OF
the field. Most people like lively

whole are too nervous and mercurial ir

slow and dignitied measures to which
our grandfathers walked through the
figures of the stately minuet.

Conditions in Porto Rico have greatly
improved since the American occupa-
ton of the island. An efficient tele-
graphic system has been established,

which will make all parts of the island

been reformed; schools have been reor
Ianized and improved; an efficient po-
nce force has put down brigandage-
Dnce the curse of the island-and rem
aered life and property generally Sc

marked effects In promoting public
health, and under the new order of
things, II is safe to assume that, as

prosperity hitherto unknown in its his

The loss and waste through negli-
gence is incomparab BILE. The mechani-
cal genius and business energy of our
age is devoted In large measure to the
economies of doing things. If any one
shall say that inventions in machinery
have reached the limit, which is far
from safe prediction, no one can say
that the occupation of making men
has reached the limit. Men, as never
before, are necessity of business.

The governor is undecided whether to
attend the convention of the national
league of Republican clubs in St. Paul
on July II. He will abide bV the deciS-
matter. But later in the campaign
Roosevelt viii make an extended tour
through the west and then he viii talk

of the voters.
National Committeeman Henry B.
Payne, who has just returned from a
conference with Governor Roosevelt,
speaks highly of the governors de-
termination to make a vigorous cam
paign and thus do his part for victory
at the polls in November.
"Our candidate for vice president, -
Mr.. Payne said, certainly intends to
bear his share of the burden. When the
great political storm of the campaign
gets in motion and sweeps across the
country all .disappOintments, personal
preferences, disagreenents and differ
ences Of opinion, will disappear. We
are going to have great campaign.
The Chicago headquarters" Mr..
Payne continued, will be the center of
hard work this year. We will cover the
entire section west of the Alleghenies.
We will make an active campaign this
year in every one of the western noun
tain states, for we believe every one OF
them can be carried for Mckinley and
Roosevelt. 1 am going to Cleveland to
see Mr.. Hanna and then will go home to
Wisconsin for a few days. Then I will
go to Chicago open the headquarters
and start right in on the campaign
New headquarters, I think. will be Sc
| lected, instead of the rooms we had il
1896, in the Auditorium. We shall gel
going we'll about the middle of July"
