sHoRTHhisS WRITING.

speed is by no means the most
necessary thing in shorthand writing"
explained an experienced stenogra-
pher, but with some teachers it is
made the great consideration, often
at the expense of everything else. The
big thing in shorthand is legibility,
for there are many who can write
fast enough, but who are unable to
tell what it means after it has grown
cold. have been stenographer, de-
pending entirely on it for my living,
for 25 years. During that time have,
of course, picked up some knowledge
on the subject. | have been the
stenographer for two cabinet officers,
four assistant secretaries and three
or four senators. incidentally have
worked for a year as the private Sec
rotary of one of the big bank presi-
dents in New York city.
Cali of this experience has proven
one thing very conclusively, and that
is that there is no necessity for any
stenographer who does amanuensis
work to write over 100 words min
ute and in 80 cases out Of 100 no me-
cessity to write over 100 words min
ute. Indeed, know of at. least %
stenographers who are drawing the
largest kind of salaries as private sec
retaries who have assured me that
they have never been required to aver
age as much as 80 words. Under these
circumstances it seems strange that
some teachers of stenography will ex-
cite pupils to write $50 to 200 words
per minute and endeavor to make them
believe that such railroad speed is
a necessity. Such practice does
actual injury, for it discourages many
from even learning moderate speed.
"There have been instances where
it may have been necessary for stenog-
raphers to be able to write over 200
and more words minute, and there is
legend hanging about the senate
chamber that General Hawley. for
10 or IL minutes in speech. once
spoke 225 words minute. The aver
age speed of senators in speeches does
not reach 10 words and in debating
letters rarely reaches 100 words."-

A Telegram That Talked.

At one time when the late George
Drew Barrymore was playing in San
Francisco fabulous sum was offered
her by local theater for her services
for few weeks. The offer was ex-
ceedingly tempting, but her contract
with Charles Frohman stood in the
way. However, on the nothing ven-
ture nothing won theory, she tele-
graphed detailed statement of the
offer she had received to Frohman in
New York. explained how anxious she
was to accept it and wound up with
the plea. win you release me?" In
due course of time she received the
following telegram in answer:
Mrs. George Drew Barrymore, Palace HOTEL San
Francisco:

Albeit disappointed. Mrs. Barrymore
at once sent this characteristic reply:

The Bulletin speaks about mill
tarism as a factor in preventing
riot and bloodshed during the
great strikes at Homestead and in
Chicago. To strike is one thing,
every man has the inalienable right
to work for whom he chooses, but
when it comes to the ruthless des-
truction of property, the endan-
gering of human lives, riot and
bloodshed we are glad to say that
there is still power enough in the
United States government to pre-
vent it. No good citizen will de-
fend the action of the Chicago mob
in obstructing the United States
mails and endangering the lives of
the people. President Cleveland
assuredly did the right thing when
he sent troops to Chicago to pre-
vent, not the strike, but the reign
of terror and bloodshed which was
threatened. The Bulletin must
have poor opinion Of the voters
of this country if it thinks that
they uphold lawlessness.

The Review finds enough to dis
cuss in the issues of the campaign
without discussing Mr. Caswell.
In our last issue we were compell-
ed to express our opinion concern
ing his attack upon the memory of
the former editor of the Review.
This having been done we have no
desire to pursue course of per-
sonalities. Mr.. Caswell may not
think it but there are more import
ant matters before the people just
now than either the editor of the
Review or the editor of the Bule-
tin. These matters the Review
proposes to discuss and it will not
be diverted from its course by any
display of coarse wit on the part
Of its contemporary.

SOME SURE THINGS.
Bets to BE Avoided by Those who
Never Tried the Eeafa aal

Never Tried the FeatA.
Bets to be avoided by those who are
cocksure they can do all things are
those relating to athletic feats. It
would seem that good runner could
easily give start of so yards in 100
to man who was doing the so yards
by hopping on one leg But few rum
ners, if any, can afford to give that
amount of start to any man who Is
at all strong on his legs. For the first
five yards or SO they go at practically
the same pace, so that to run 95 yards
while his opponent is hopping As he
has to go more than twice as fast, and
it is weak man indeed who cannot
hop so yards in ten seconds.
An ordinary wooden match is easily
broken in the fingers, but, although
there are many who will bet they can
do it, none succeed in accomplishing
the task if the match is laid across the
nail Of the middle finger of either hand
and pressed upon by the first and third
fingers of that hand, despite it's seem
ing so easy at first sight.
No one can crush an egg placed
lengthwise between his clasped hands
that is. If the egg be sound and has
the ordinary shell of hens egg.
1t is safe to bet q man that he cannot
get out of a chair without bending
his body forward or putting his feet
under it. if he is sitting on it. not at
the edge of it.
Another equally certain wager is
that man cannot stand at the side
of room with both of his feet touch
ing the wainscoting lengthwise.
1t is safe to bet any man. save one
who is, blind, that he cannot stand
for five minutes without moving il
he Is blindfolded.

er this can or cannot be entirely |
wiped.out is. problematical, espec-
tally as the majority party always
has the greater number of reserve
votes, votes which are not cast ex-
cept at presidential elections.
There is one thing which we firm
ly believe, and that is that fully
one. third of the democrats of this
county are not in harmony with
their party. They do not believe
in free silver and they are not
Bryan democrats, but they will
vote the ticket in order to preserve
their party organization. In other
words it is the county and not the
national ticket which will influence
| them to vote the democratic ticket.
Fully one-third then of those who
will vote for Bryan in this county
will rejoice with US when the news
comes that Mckinley has been re
elected. These men are the con
sentative business men and the
provident farmers who belong te
the democratic party and who
while they do not wish to leave
their party, are fearful of the re
suits to the country should Bryan
be elected. If these voters woule
only see that by their votes they
are giving countenance and en-
couragement to doctrines which
they themselves know to be dang
erous and pernicious, Crawford
! would at this election become re
publican county by not less thar
500 majority. These men in real
ity owe higher duty to themsel
YES to express their honest convic
tions at the polls than they do tt
any party organization. The bal
lot should be the expression of thu
voters highest and best opinion a!
} to the affairs of the government
and should not be cast simply te
maintain party.

DSGRACEGUL TACTICS.

The democrats are making an
unenviable record for rowdyism in
a large number of meetings
throughout the country. Promi-
nent men who should meet with
nothing but courtesy no matter
what their political views, have
been mistreated, insulted and their
lives endangered. While it is not
fair to charge the responsible heads
of democracy with conniving at
these riots, for surely they must
recognize how greatly they preju-
dice their cause, it is equally true
that no republican took part in the
afronts offered to Roosevelt and
other republican leaders. Our
democratic friends will reply that
there have been disturbances at
democratic meetings and it is true
that there have been some, but
they have nowhere near approach
ed either in point of organization
or seriousness the determined per-
sonal attacks made upon repub-
lican speakers. The same spirit
which makes the democrats of this
county fearful lest their partisans
shall read republican literature, the
same spirit which leads them to
endeavor to keep democrats from
listening to republican speeches,
the same spirit that makes them
avoid full, free and fair discus
sion of the issues in this county, is
one which impels certain others OF
that party who have not the good
judgment of Crawford county dem
ocrats, to break up republican
meetings by organized force and
violence. Our democratic friends
have been wont to pirate of per-
sonal liberty. The highest express
sion of personal liberty is freedom
of speech. 1t is we'll known
fact, however, that freedom of
speech has always been endanger-
ed in strongly democratic states.
Freedom of speech and of the
press is now practically denied the
republicans, even the white re.
publicans, of the South; while in
Denison, republican Denison, the
vile Barter was allowed to publish
one of the most villianous publica-
tons ever issued from printing
press, and when he left the city
such men as O. M. Criswell signed
a resolution to the effect that he
was gentleman and a scholar
and that they approved of all of
Barter's acts, both public and pri-
vate. Let the campaign in this
county be waged on matters OF
principle and we have no fear of
the results. What republicans.
have to fear is partisanship which
endeavors to keep the masses of
the voters from hearing or discuss
ing the questions really at issue

advocated slavery, they purchased
and governed Louisiana and we
understand that the Esquimaux

Our First Pianos.

The first pianos known in America
were imported from London in 1884
by John Jacob Astor, but as they could
not stand the rigors Of this climate
they soon became ruined. This fact led
to the attempt to build pianos in this
country, and in the early part of the
nineteenth century pianos made their
appearance.

REPUBLICANS NOT ON DEFENSIVE.

There is moi an issue before the
people to-day concerning which
the republicans need fear to meet
their opponents in the open. Ger
tainly the magnificent prosperity
of the past four years needs no de-
Tense. 1t is a record that every
republican and every American
can be proud of. 1t was prophe-
sised four years ago that prosperi-
ty was impossible under a gold
standard. Facts have proven the
contrary. 1t becomes our oppon-
ent's duty thereforeto explain why
their prophecies have proven false.
They must admit that they have,
and they must not only show good
reason why this is the case, but
further, they must show reason
why, after proving them false
prophets, the American people
should put their trust in them now.
The wise man is not the man who
never makes a mistake, but the
man who never makes the same
same mistake twice. Many people
were beguiled by the glittering
promises of free silver four years
ago. We do not wish to blame or
deride them, but if they are wise
they will not make the same mis-
take twice. While not afraid to
meet our opponents on any ques-
ton involved in the campaign we
must insist that the paramount
issue" that is, the issue which eff
fects us the most closely, is the
question, how best to continue the
prosperity we are now enjoying.
No man and no party can manu-
facture paramount issues at will.
1t is the matter which concerns us
most nearly which will always be
paramount. The paramount
issue with the individual changes
with every hour of the day.
When you are hungry the para
mount issue is to get something to
eat, when you are sleepy the para
mount issue is to get to bed, and
with this country the paramount
issue is and always be, how to
maintain such conditions as will
best promote the material pros
perity of the people of the United
States. If we have been able to
prosper under the present admin
istation and we certainly have, we
can see no good reason why our
people should wish to change for
what is at best a venture and an
experiment. The democratic par
ty and its candidates are absolute
ly and unqualihedly pledged to the
free coinage of silver and thus it
becomes the duty of every man
who believes that this great change
in our financial system would be
dangerous to oppose the demo-
cratic party at the polls. This
our democratic friends tell us
would be the case if there were
not other issues involved in the
campaign.
What are these other issues?
Let us use the democratic terms.
They are then, Trusts, Imperialism
and Militarism. The trusts are
matters which most nearly APP

ELECTION DUTIES.

Three weeks from today is cleo
ton day and it gives us great
pleasure to say that at this time
everything points to the triumph
ant election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt. Naturally here in
Iowa we can form but little idea
of what is going on in other states
and what we can gather is taken
from the press of the country.
The republicans seem to be conf
dent that Bryan will not carry more
than one state carried by McKin-
ley in 1896 and that state is Ken
lucky which Mckinley carried
four years ago by less than 900
plurality. The democrats made
extravagant claims concerning the
states of the central west, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan
but the polls of the states show
safe republican majorities, and
these claims are being given up as
untenable. 1t no longer seems
probable that New York can be
carried for Bryan, even with the
enormous corruption fund which
Mr.. Croker has at his disposal.
On the other hand republican
gains are almost certainty in the
west. Kansas and South Dakota
are no longer considered doubtful,
the Pacific states will be solidly
republican and there is great hope
that Nebraska itself may be
brought into Metropolitan column.
The next three weeks will see the
most strenuous work of the cam
paign on both sides.
Because we hope for victory
and feel it in the air is no
reason why we should. relax our
energies, especially here in Craw-
ford county. The campaign in
this county has been carried on a.
long manly lines. There has been
no such dlsgraceful campaign as
was carried on by democracy three
years ago, but on the other hand
the democrats have shown no dis
| position to bring the issues before
the people. Their argument has
been, "We are Democrats. The
meetings, what few they have held
have been disappointing both in
point of numbers and in the
speeches delivered. Great hopes
were entertained of what Col. Ell
boeck would do when he came to
the county, but he proved a fiat
failure and Dale was worse than a
failure in his appearance here.
The republicans have held a
number of meetings and with few
exceptions they have proven sue
cessful, even beyond expectations.
The republican clubs of the coun-
ty have large membership and
from those who signed the rolls it
is apparent that few if any repub-
lican votes have been lost, while
the gains are many There are
constant reports of accessions
from the ranks of the German
voters of the county. We know
that there are many such in Deni-
son, in fact it is our belief that the
young Germans in Denison will be
practically solid for Mckinley.
The normal democratic majority
of this county is about 400, wheth-
