Because They Cannot Dance

grace, no spring to their move

pleasure out of 1t, but go about 1t
with gloomy faces.
3. Everybody ought TO dance
more. 1t is splendid physical
exercise and a real pleasure. Folk
dances offer more opportunities
than our passive waltz and two
step. Folk dances should be
learned, not for exhibition, but
for pleasure.
THE dances we have been In
Producing In this country are the
Danish dance of greeting and the
Swedish merry-go-round. All the
dances are largely pantomime and
contain much OF the dramatic.

BY Florence Collins Porter,
Delegate to Republican National
Convention From California.


written especially for the
Times.)
CHICAGO. June ga new
party is born. Because the ears
of the engineers of the republican
machine have been stuffed with
the promises of the trusts, and be-
cause in the past money has meant
unlimited power they have become
drunken with the idea that they
could overrun the will of the peo-
pie, and in doing so, they have dug
their political graves. The peo-
pie must rule. Their voices must
be heard. The old order must go.
and so with the deliberate steal
of the two California seats, be-
longing to men who were put in
there by a majority of 10000
votes, the birth cry of the new
party was heard.
The Progressive party will have
man in nomination for the office
of president of the United States
at the time of the November cleo
ton and his name will be Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Every man and
woman who believes in the equal
chance for all and who really
means to try and give everyone
a living wage should flock to his
standard. l say man and woman,
for in the platform of the new
progressive party there will be an
equal suffrage plank, and 1t is
likely that there will be among the
delegates from the suffrage states
to the convention to be held some
time in August more women than
Just Mrs. Blaney and myself.
Let no man stand back because
he does not believe in Roosevelt.
We must remember that the move
ment is greater than Roosevelt.
He will only be the mouthpiece
of 1t. my policies" will be pro-
gressiye policies. Looking over
this convention from a woman's
viewpoint, 7 have found that
there is a dearth OF men who are
capable of being mouthpieces of
the people. They are too selfish,
they will throw over principle
when they find t. principle viii
interfere with personal ADVANCE
Iment.
Before / came to the conven-
ton, felt that q woman had much
to learn before she would become
political factor to reckon with;
I made up my mind that woman
would have TO be trained to the
concentration and logical Sc
Quence of mind which political
work entails. / have found out,
however. that 1t is not the people
trained In political methods that
we want. but the people trained
to follow right principles.
Woman, think, Will be more
unselfishiy sincere In her adher-
ence to principles. as her training
has been towards unselfishncss

of quitting the use of it appalls
you, it's safe to conclude that the
suspicion Is justified. For there

When you reach this conclusion

COFFEE AND NEURAsTHENIA

Coffee and tea are stimulating
drugs. In common with other
stimulants their action is follow
ed by a corresponding reaction.
They never do anyone any good.
They do many people great deal
of harm. Neuresthenia in its
worst forms may sometimes be
traced back to one or the other
of these drugs as its cause.
So, If you have trouble with
your nerves, are a coffee or tea
