The State legislature will be strong
ly Democratic, which means that no
backward step is to be taken in the
enactment of laws looking to advance
m.ent along all lines of industrial en-
ceavor.
The defeat of Governor GIynn in
New York occasions little surprise.
The Democratic organization in that
state went to pieces months ago,
when a Tammany legislature impeach-
ed Governor Sulzer because. he refus-
ed to take orders from the bosses.
The deposed executive set himself to
the task of destroying Tammany and
ir doing this he disrupted the Demo-
cratic narty in the state With Sulzer
and Glynn at daggers points it was
easy enough for Whitman to win.
Two years hence the New York De-
mocracy will bury their differences
end unite on Woodrow Wilson for a
second term. That state has the habit
OF shifting scenes and it was due to

end Tammany both eliminated, the
Democracy will have a show of sue

that Governor Biease purposely
held this Act to prevent it reach

publicly, 'sthe Act was as dead

the only hope of relief in the
present emergency, but through
the Vaccinations of the mill in

January does something to pac-
ify the wrath of the masses who
asked for bread and were given a
stone, they asked for something
effective to be done to save the
interests upon which the pros
perity of the State depends from
disaster, and were needed not
by the lower house Of represen-
tatives and the governor. In
deed, every movement of rem
edial effect that which adopted by
a large majority of the Senate,
was frustrated by the appeals Of
the mill men and a few banking
interests. The people will nc:
forget it, they will preserve
the names of every one who had
a part and parcel in this dis
regard of the interests and dire
necessity of the farmers and
merchants of this State.
I an glad to report that Rep
resentativeiWhite stood square
to the bond bill from start to
finish, but Representative Bur
CESS on the final passage of the
bond bill, voted against it; this
was his right if the arguments
of the opposition convinced him,
aud I have no doubt it did, even
though he voted for the bill on
on the other ballots which were
many.
I am writing this letter after
adjournment Saturday night,
I cannot spend Sunday at

shall stick to nv post to the final
adjournment which I hope will
be after midnight Monday night
to return home to attend to my

session.

tion to have printed the neces-

ed to the commissioners of elec-

sincerely hope these officials
will see to it they get to the
several precincts, otherwise the

cities will in all probability de-
feat the proposition.

Later:I reached home yes
terday morning after being up
practically all night at the ses'
sion which adjourned sine die at
2 O'Clock in the morning. Gov.
Blease held the Bond Act in his
possession for the three days al
lowed by the constitution with
OF. approving or disappearing
the Act; late Monday night he
sent a message to the assembly,
which in effect, said, ''that he
could not approve the Bond Act
neither could he disapprove it,
because, he would not prevent
the people from the privilege of
voting upon the question:" and,
according to some of the best
legal minds in the Senate the
Act became a law without the
Governors signature, and would
be effective providing the people
by a two thirds majority endorse
it; others however, among them
the Governor himself, contend
that the Act did not become ef-
fective until Tuesday night after
the polls closed and therefore
the vote would be a nullity; they
regard the three days referred
to in the constitution as meaning
calendar days, not legislative
days, and they back up their con-
tention by the discovery of an
old decision of the supreme
court.
It matters not how one looks
at it, there Is one thing which
cannot be overlooked, and that
is the fragrant trickery to pre-
vent the people from having a
voice in a. matter which con-
cerned them so much. and, when
the governor held on to it until
Monday night he loaned himself
to be a party to the trick, His
message informing the general
assembly he would not veto or
approve Act was a bold. face
piece of cowardly hypocrisy. If
be and the other opponents of
the measure are correct that the
constitu ional three days do not
contemplate legislative days but
mean calendar days, the holding
of the Act to a time when any
action on the part of the people
is useless and time thrown away
then, in such a situation there is
no other conclusion to reach
other than Governor Blease with
scheming deliberateness and
treachery, turned against the peo
pie whose advocate he professed
to be, and allied himself with
those who from the first worked
and planned to prevent any RENE
dial legislation-cotton mills ard
national banks. It. is insulting
to the intelligence Of the masses
for the governor to pretend he
would not prevent a referendum,
when any school boy can see it
was he alone who did prevent a
legal referendum, if the Act did
not become valid on Monday

boon to the cotton growers.
Through an oversight the time
for the appropriation Act to go
into effect was omitted, but later
remedied by a subsequent Act,
and up to Saturday night the
governor had not approved it,
thereby preventing the members
from getting their pay immedia-
tely which was embarrassing to
many.
The withholding of the COVER
nor's approval from the bond
Act and the appropriation Act,
has caused the legislature to
proiong the session, and it will
go over next week until Monday
or Tuesday night in order that
these matters can be acted upon
as the constitution requires,
This has been most unsatis-
factory session; it was convened
to give relief, and the Senate
did everything in it's power to
give relief, the full responsibility,

l am sure that il this extra
session had been convened prior
to the primary, many who are
now members would have been
left at home, as they should have
been, and will be if they offer
themselves in the future. The
people: will, when they have
the opportunity, resent being
trifed with.

for the girl, forward for the man. II
is very like the long walk in the one
step, only each step is held for two
beats or the music. The girl goes
backward with her right foot. the
man forward with his left. At the
change to the trot the whole body
responds and each step, a spring, is
taken on the toes. The effect is
exactly that of red fox making for
his hole!
This change must be made smooth.

to the serpentine. This step is
slower than the trot and resembleS
the grapevine of the tango, or the
marcel wave of the one-step.
OF course, every experienced
dancer introduces steps of his own
In this dance. It may be as original
as the one-step, which Is but a mix
ture of all kinds of steps. One Of
the reasons-Why the trot and the
one-step are not popular in Paris is
because the dances are not absolute
ly standardized. The French PEG
pie are not fond of hit or miss dane
ing, they prefer one dance and do
II perfectly than 10 dance a dozen
dances indifferently. II is, on the
contrary, the originality and the pos

THE fox trot is running the one
step a close race in the bid for
popular favor. It came out OF
the sky or up from the earth last
June, and starting badly handicapped,
1t is now, with the exception Of the
aforesaid rival, the most popular
dance on the boards.
The dancing public was beginning
10 crave for a new dance. IL was not
weary of the satisfactory one-step,
that is a dance that is fresh every
day, new every hour; but variety
being the condiment of life, every
one cried for new thriller, and thus
the fox trot came into being.
1t may best be described as rapid.
IRE One-step or the one-step gone
mad. Either description fits it,
But this newest form OF the "trot"
must not be maligned. II is, when
done by those who hare learned the
steps from a professional, as grace
full and charming as the hesitation.
1t has its dangers, however, for the
distinguishing step of the dance is
the amusing little 'trot" which may
degenerate into hop. skip and jump
unless the dancer be wary.
There are two things the dancer
must keep well IN mind: first, that
every trot step must be springy. and
that every spring must not be jerky!
