Original Policy of Nation.
The art of July 24, 1K*«. providing
l-»r the Government acquisition of the
telegraph line* upon payment of an
appraised valuation, and the act of
1902 directing the Postmaster Oen- j
eral ‘to report to Congress the prob
able eo»i of connecting a telegraph
and telephone system with the postal
service by some feasible plan.’ are
evidences of the policy of this Gov- |
eminent ultimately to acquire and
operate these electrical means of
communication as postal facilities, as
is done by all the principal nations. |

“The successful operation of the ,
parcel post has demonstrated the ;
capacity of the Government to con

of the Constitution.

"Kvery argument in favor of the
Government ownership of telegraph
lines may be advanced with equal
logic and force In favor of the Gov- j
eminent ownership of telephone lines.
It has been competently decided that
a telephone message and a telegram
are the same within the meaning of
the laws governing the telegraph ser
vice and therefore it is believed that
the statute enabling the Government
to acquire, upon payment of an ap
praised valuation, the telegraph lines
of the country will enable the Gov
ernment to acquire the telephonic
network of the country.
“Parcel post reaches everywhere
whereas private expresses extend
their operation* only to profitable ter- j
ritory,” says the report. “Twenty-j
millions of rural residents now have
house-to-house delivery find collec
tions of parcels, a. service formerly to j
be had only in cities and towns.”
Telegraph Lines Useless.
Representative Bevels, *>f Maryland,
who has devoted months to the study
of the Government ownership of wire
lines, is not committed fully to the
plan advanced bv Burlsfion. The

eminent should operate both the tel*

Devotees of Waltz Should Learn
Simple Steps of This New
Dance Easily.
Here is the first dancing lesson
for Georgian readers by Miss
Donna Bain, beautiful instructor
of Atlanta society and brilliant
expert in all the latest steps.
By MISS DONNA BAIN.
The popularity which the hesitation
waltz has recently achieved in Amer
ican dancing circles is an indication
that the old-time glide waltz, so pop
ular in the days of our forefathers, is
coining back Into favor, for the hesi
tation retains many of the beauties
of the glide with distinctive varia-
j tlons that give, it what might be
and to give it a sort of bewildering
beauty that neither the Boston nor
the glide waltz alone has.
The hesitation is not hard to dance,
and to learn it one does not have to
have any special fund of natural
grace, although the more graceful the
beginner is the quicker will she learn.
Grace is an inherent quality of the
dance, and an> recognized dance,
danced well, is graceful. The aver
age person, even with no knowledge
of (lancing, should learn the hesita
tion waltz in a few' lessons, and for
a good waltzer the task should be
even easier.
Instructions for dancing the hesi
tation waltz could be spun out in al
most an endless thread, but I think
the following will suffice to give any
one an Idea ‘of how to dance it.
Here Are the Steps.
In the hesitation waltz the girl
should start on the right foot, and
balance back or: the left, taking four
Boston walk steps forward; waltz
back on the left and hesitate on the
right; starting on the left foot, take
four Boston steps, reversing to left
and hesitating .on the left; repeat,
starting on the right foot.
Another step in the hesitation waltz
is made by waltzing on the left foot,
alternating forward and back, and
I hesitating on the right foot between
j the waltz steps. There are numerous
i others that come with practice and
that should not be attempted until
the prjiici{fit*3 of the dance have been
well grounded.
And in dancing, remember that the
more you try to be graceful, the more
graceful you probably will he. And
above all do not shrug your shoulders
or wiggle your body. There are some
dances, notable interpretive and clas
sical dances, that require certain
movements of the arms, shoulders
and the body to convey the full mean
ing of the dance—but in the modern
ballroom dance such movements are
out of place and ungraceful.

lanta and place them
And. incidentally, it is to be great
ly hoped that the favor with which
j the return of the glide waltz, even
in a modified form, is being greeted,
will means the extermination of those
lancing abomination* called turkey
trot and the bear and all the other
freak dances that require exagger
ated, unnecessary and foolish move
ments of the shoulders and the body
to ghc them a thrill and carry them
to success.
Full of Grace and Beauty.
There was never a dance, perhaps,
so filled with natural grace and
beauty as the glide waltz, and you
will still find that the majority of the
lancers, though they bow to the dlc-
ates >f fashion and dance the new
lance*, still have a tender spot in
their hearts for the glide waltz and
lance at everv opportunity. And
for .he.-o the hesitation is a suitable
and satisfactory substitute. It is a
combination of the Boston and the
old glide wall/, combined in just the
right proportion to suit devotees of
both dances. Th© Boston steps give
it vim and go. while there s retained

ANDERSON & SHROPSHIRE, of Atlanta
Now Prominently Connected With
THE COSMOPOLITAN
It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Ander
son & Shropshire (Mareellus At. Anderson and A. J. Shropshire, Jr.),
of Atlanta, as managers for THE COSMOPOLITAN for territory em
bracing about forty counties north of Fulton, an-d some few south, with
exclusive control, except counties of Fulton and DeKalb.
Both of these gentlemen are highly resjjected citizens of Atlanta,
and by their courteous and just treatment of agents they have built up
a very strong agency force of an unusually fine type of men.
The reasons which induced Messrs. Anderson & Shropshire to be
come associated with THE COSMOPOLITAN are worthy of note.
First. Mr. Anderson and Air. Shropshire are loyal Georgians, and feel
that they are performing a duty to their State in assisting to build up
a Great Home Institution, which is destined to accomplish an immense
amount of good in developing the resources of our State as well as the
South at large. In the second place, these gentlemen have made the
connection after weeks of deliberation and the closest investigation of
the financial condition of THE COSMOPOLITAN: the character of of
ficers and directors of the Company, and the economical and conserv
ative business policy to he pursued. Their investigation has disclosed
the fact that not, one penny has been paid for the sale of the Company's
stock, and no rebate or concession given to any subscriber, all buying
their stock on the same basis. They have found that the members of
the Finance and Executive Committees of the Company are enthusias
tic and ready to co-operate in making THE COSMOPOLITAN a
great Southern life Insurance Company. Furthermore, they have
carefully inspected the forms of policies issued by the Company, and
found them sound aetuarially, and at the same time very attractive to
insurers.
I beg to state that THE COSMOPOLITAN is the only company
organized under the new and rigid insurance laws of Georgia, and the
organization was perfected under the direct supervision of lion. Wm.
A. Wright, Insurance Commissioner, and Mr. John A. Copeland, Dep
uty Insurance Comissioner. Thay are familiar with every detail, and
have given the Company their highest indorsement, as shown by the
following statement of General Wright:
OFFICE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER,
STATE OF GEORGIA:
Atlanta, March 1,1913.
Dr. M. M. Riley, Chairman, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir—1 desire to say that your Committee is to be con
gratulated upon having secured the.consent of Mr. J. O. Wynn to
accept the Presidency of the reorganized Cosmopolitan Life In
surance Company. I have known Mr. Wynn officially and per
sonally for nearly thirty years, and am familiar with his career as
a Southern insurance manager. He is a man of unquestioned in
tegrity. universally recognized as an insurance man of the very
highest qualifications, and an eminently successful financier, as at
tested by the success, of all enterprises with which he has been con
nected. I am satisfied from the conversation I have had with Mr.
Wynn in regard to this matter that he lias been finally induced to
accept the Presidency of this Company entirely from patriotic
motives. His official connection with the company will draw
about him the co-operation of the leading business men of this and
other cities of the State, and, in my judgment, when it becomes
generally known that he is connected with the Company, the
slock, old as well as new, will, within a very short while, material
ly advance in value. 1 am satisfied that no more advantageous se
lection of a man for the Presiden cy of the Company could have
been made, and feel that this selection assures the future success
of the Company. Yours very truly,
(Signed) AYM. A. WRIGHT,
Insurance Commissioner.
I desire to call attention to the fact that “THE COSMOPOLI
TAN” LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, which was organized on
April 5, 1913, has no connection whatever with “Cosmopolitan” Life
Insurance Company, which failed in December. 1912. The new com
pany. by purchase from the Insurance Department, acquired the as
sets of the old company, paid the claims authorized by the courts, put
in new money and new officers, and intends al wavsot pursue conserv
ative and safe business methods.
I confidently believe that the citizens of Georgia will appreciate
in* efforts to make a Great Home Company, and will give us a liberal
share of their business. The Company merits the fullest confidence,
and invites the closest .'wstigation.
JAMES O. WYNN.
President.
