BUTLER ENLIGHTENs RICH.
Author of Street Railway Bill Scores
q Point.


Representative Butler gave the house
few plain ideas yesterday on the prac-
tice of holding bills up in the committee
to prevent action. Mr.. Butler is the
author of the bill providing that the
street railway companies shall be made
subject in the same manner that rail-
roads are to the state railroad and
warehouse commission. The bill has
been thoroughly considered by the rail-
road committee of the house. and yes
terday Mr.. Dobbin moved to have it
again referred to that committee, de-
spite the statement from several of the
committee that they did not think fur
Their consideration by them was. either
fair or. necessary. Mr. Butler wanted
the bill placed on general orders, and
after some hard fighting gained his
point
Mr. Dobhin gave as his reason for re-
ferring the bill back to the committee
that NJ. D. Mum, attorney for the street
railway company, might have chance
to be heard. Mr.. Butler was confirmed
by members of the committee, when he
said that hearing had been set for
the lawyer once and he failed to appear.
Mr. Ferris. chairman or the committee.
offered some excuse for Mr.. Mum, but
Mr. Butler suggested that as the COM
pany had other attorneys beside Mr..
Mum it might have been represented,
anyway
w. w. Rich, the member from New
Brighton, naturally favored delaying the
bill by referring it again to the COM
mittee. Mr.. Butler said:
do you think that it Is necessary for
corporation attorneys to come up here
and advise us on all legislation we
have?" Rich attempted to get back by
retorting:
1T Is just as fair as for contractors
who have fat state jobs to come up here
and get their bills passed
The difference is said Mr.. Butler,
the state capitol contractor, the people
sent me here, and they did not send Mr.

Is DANCING ON THE WANEP
A BalIetmaster Who Sees the Art

(From the Chicago Chronieal.

(From the Chicago Chronieal)
One of the well-known ballet ira ners OF
the city, in discussing the subject one day
last week, said: People Will not dance at
all within a very few years. You see,
dancing is not meant to be distorted as it
now is. To daEce one must be graceful,
but to dance after the prevailing ball
room fashion one must be very angular.
In the first place. there is nothing to
dance. People no longer waltz, and when
they do waltz they do not waltz well; il
is a kind of awkward whirling around.
with no opportunity or design for a
graceful movement. All that was grace
full about the waltz of the past has been
taken from it TO please the hopper, who
would prefer to whrl around on one toe,
with no thought of dancing. How can
one expect that it would be any different
with this two-step turning everyone's
head? No one can think to dance we'll
when all he dances from one montil's end
to another is the two-step. There is
nothing graceful about that. You can't
get any kind of training out of it. 1t is
no dance. Did you ever analyZe it?'
The master began to dance, turning
from the evolutiOns of the old-fashioned
dances to the waltz and the two-step.
With his hands on his hips he glided back
and forth, all the while smiling cynically.
Cant you see how very foolish it ISL
he said. Cant you see there is nothing
to this wonderful twO-step? One doesn't
have to dance-just take so many glides,
turn. glide again and again turn. Where
is your opportunity for grace. Where is
your opportunity for skill? Every man,
woman and child in The cOuGlTy could do
this II he wanted. Our only good for
tune is that they do not want to-"
But what difference does it make that
the two-step is. as you say. a dance any
one can do? Does thing need to be diff
cult in order to be POPULAR" some one
asked him
That is the secret of the whole thing
II does have to be Just that. No one wants
TO dance something every living creature
can dance. and If they do they ought not
