lowered to her hips. She starts back
hopping slightly on her left foot, for the
first beat OF the measure and pointing
her right foot back to catch her weight
on the second count Then she hops on
her right foot and points her left foot to
take her weight during the third and
fourth counts. The weight of the body
above the hips swings from side to side
as the partners change sides The part
ners take exactly the same steps in this
figure, but the bodies sway in opposite
directions
A spin is followed by Figure g. In this
the dancers assume exactly the position
shown In the picture. The man pivots
slowly to the left. shifting his weight
from right to left foot to each beat of
the music, while the girl starts on the
first count OF the beat throwing her
weight on her left foot and catching IL
on her right foot on the first half of the
second count and shifting Il back TO her
left foot in double time for the second
half OF the second count.
On the third and fourth count she
pivots under her partners arm, making
an arch Of her left and his right arm as
she swings under. In pivoting she shifts
her weight on the first half of the third
count to her right foot and on the second
half of the third count back to her left
concluded, with her weight thrown fun
on her right foot This figure is repeated
until a complete circle has been defined.
N will require at least four measures to
complete the circle.
Again the spin is used as a transition,
and then to execute Figure the partners
slide to the right for the first beat Of
the measure. The girls weight Is car
ried on her right foot, and on the second
count her left foot is drawn up to the
right. thus completing the right slide
After making two such slides. to occupy
four beats OF one bar Of music, the lady
spins to the left, as in all the Transition
Twirls described for use between figures.
The entire movement of this figure is to
the right, and it is repeated until two
or four spins have been made. On the
concluding spin of this figure, which is
illustrated in Figure 4. the dancers swing
into the position illustrated IN
Figure V-The man stands until the
second beat Of the bar, while the girl
spins through these two beats, making a
turn to a position directly in front Of her
partner for the remaining counts OF the
measure. During the second measure she
leans TO the right for two beats while
her partner, with the same flying move

to the left They express conquetry in
their exchange OF balances and then swing
past each other again in opposite direc-
tons (girI to left and man to right for
the last two beats of the measure. This
is repeated four times, and then with
single spin the partners swing back into
the simple first figure and repeat 1t once.

made mess of the whole thing and the best
way to get away from the whole bungling
affair is to keep silent?
1t looks that way, and it also looks as if the
administration is trying to hedge in its Next
can policy.
Ever since Messrs. Wilson and Bryan have
been in office bullets have been flying from the
Mexican side, but not until one day last week
did Washington threaten to take action IN
less stop was put to the firing across the
American border.
Why suddenly threaten Mexico for what
had been going Oh ever since the present add
ministration came in power and why send re-
Inducements where they could easily cross the
border for an attack upon the Mexican offend
ers?
The factions fighting there now are no more
responsible than those who have fired across
the border heretofore and the government in
Mexico City is no more responsible than was
the government in the saddle when former
shots were fired and people wounded on this
side.

in the balance of the States it is the
truly un-American or papist element
of the citizenship in the main. Those
two antipodes produce a mongrel
party, they are incongruoUs elements,
and no lasting good should be eX-
pected from them.
Why cannot we have a Progressive
Democratic Party to which all true
Americans may attach themselves,
whether Democrat, Republican, Bull
moose, Independent or what ever,
which would be a Democratic party in
fact; a cOunterpoise to the Radical
or Republican party, thus eleminat-
ing the papist element from our
national politics. AS it is, the papists
control the Democratic party, and
the money power controls the Re-
publican party. Let us have a truly
Democratic party instead Of a mon
grel party. They might change the
name of the Progressive party to the
Progressive Democratic party, and
stand for what the name implies.
There are lots of Democrats in the
Republican party, the Bull Moose,

the Democratic party, who would

without protracted and necessarily unsettling
contest, dissolution of the unlawful monopoly

Meantime the department sought to avoid any
action that might hinder in any way the accom-

Of New England; but the criminal aspects Of the
case were kept constantly in mind and care was
taken to do nothing which might interfere with
proper prosecutions at the appropriate time"
Note that "care was taken 20 do nothing

when the department thinks the time appro-

How does this interest of the present adj
ministration for the welfare of Ne2o England
compare with the administrations interest for
the welfare of the South?
How does Attorney General Gregory's dis
solving the Trust so as to cause least en-
barrassment to investors and the unsettled
industries Of Nea0 England sound when COM

In spite Of the fact that we have withdrawn
our troops from Vera Cruz and that the fasco

is not a word in President Wilson's message

Certainly it is significant that after all that

with Mexican affairs the President should be
silent as to the Wilson and Bryan Mexican

his report, and he arrogantly informs the
country that the farmers of the South do not

which justlfies the government in giving us
AID or assistance directly through the use Of
government cash or credit.
According to Secretary Houston we have
brought the condition on ourselves, and we
deserve just what we are getting because we
haven't practised diversifcation on sufi-

supplies.
For unadulterated impudence, Mr.. Hous-
toms report caps the climax, and if it is the
administrations point Of view, which the &C

prove it to be, there should be a rafting of

the refusal to even lend back to him what
was illegally taken under the cotton tax-the
increase in appropriations beyond what they
ever were before, although an administration
of economy was promised creation Of
new jobs at the expense of the people just to

POST OFFICE SHOWS THAT
 GOOD TIMES ARE COMING

fight that was so warmly waged dur ing that month.
 But in November we had to rely upon the normal business situation to furnish the receipts for the post office. During November, 1913, the receipts of the office were s7,96325 The receipts this year were $10, ,781.0 being a gain of $2,S1S.S4, or 35 per cent These receipts come entirely from legitimate business and there is nothing exceptional or abnormal to which they may be credited
 Every one understands, of course, that the above figures do not include the money order business nor the postal savings or banking department of the postoffice.
 On October first the total deposits at the Phoenix postoffice amounted to $1S,616. This was the total amount accumulated since August. 1911. the time when deposits were first receiv- ed at the Phoenix postoffice
 During the month of October these deposits increased to s20.791.
 h November 131 new accounts were opened and $13.s27 of new deposits were received; during the month the postoffice paid out to depositors $3.204, leaving a credit to depositors of s31,S14
 This is remarkable showing and is of course due largely 10 local fin ancial troubles If the postoffice had been willing to receive money as an ordinary bank, there is little doubt but what the deposits would have eX- ceeded s1O060G CT more, but as de- positors are only allowed to deposit Sl00 in a month, and as their total deposits cannot exceed $500, this is rather remarkable showing.
 Absolute safety and convenience arc the reasons why people patronize the postal savings department of the post office. Any person of the age of ten years CT over may open an acconnt Certificates are issued in denomina tions Of $1, s2. 8, s1o. s2o, $50, and
