A Lightning Luncheon.

St. Louis has developed Il time-sav-
ing device, with which the inventors
profess themselves much pleased.
Three large corporations which have
their offices in the same building
have entered into co-partnersh;p
arrangement by which all their en-
ployes have their lunches served to
them in restaurant under the same
roof with their desks. The meals are
free. but in return for them the clerks
are expected not to leave the building
during the noon hour and return II
their work as soon as they have fin
ished eating.
THE system" says an official OF
one of the corporations causes the
least possible Inconvenience both to
the clerks and the officials. and af-
fords the fewest distractions to the
clerks. They step right from their
desks to the elevator, and when they
finish their meals they only have 10
step to the elevator again to return
to their desks. When clerks go out
their minds are further away from
their business and there are many
tendencies for them to stop and
loaf"
1t is usually supposed that the din
ner or luncheon hour was intended
for rest as well as for stocking the
stomach; but the mental and physi-
cal relaxation of the noon recess en-
abled the worker to return to his dII-
ties with renewed energy. But the
strenuousness of these St Louis cor
poratiOns seems to ridicule such
ideas. But if the st. Louis corpora
ton plan is step in the right direc-
ton, why not do away with the noon
recess entirely and replace the an
tiquated dinner or lunch with an
emergency ration in tabloid form
that can be taken into the stomach
while the worker is proceeding with
his duties? This would save more
time than the st. Louis lightning
luncheon.

May the President Leave the Coun.

The possibility that President Roose-
welt may carry into effect his avowed
desire to witness the great maneu-
vers this fall of the American war
ships in the Caribbean sea, under
command of Admiral Dewey, has
lgiven rise to discussion as to the
right and propriety of a president of
the Uuited States leaving the juris-
diction of his country.
1t has been discovered that Presi-
dent Washington set the example of
not entering foreign territory while
president, by making long detour
in his journey from New York to
| Boston in order not to enter Rhode
Island. The reason alleged is that
Rhode Island had not yet accepted
the federal constitution, and so at
that time had not become a member
of the new born United States of
America. -
This is answered with the state
ment that the most direct post route
from New York city. then the feder-
al capital. to Boston, was up the
Connecticut valley via New Haven
and Hartford and thence eastward. 1t
did not lie along the Sound. through
southern Connecticut and Rhode Isl
and.
1t is not of record, says the st. Joe
News. that any president of the
United States has crossed the boun-
dairy. though Presidents Arthur and
Cleveland are said to have fished
little over the Canadian line. 1t is
a tradition that has come to be re-
garded with respect: but it is by no
means inviolable. Foreign heads of
state. from the ear TO the French
president. go a-visiting. 1t is easily
conceivable that the president of the
United States might find it wise and
gracious to- become a guest of Can
ada or Mexico.

Note was made the other day of
the death of woman who had made
and patented at least thirty-six useful
inventions. She was an exception 10
the supposed rule that women gener-
ally lack inventive ability. But that
rule is a most fragrant fake. Nine
women out of ten can invent more
processes to be performed with q
hairpin than any twenty-seven men
recorded in the annals of the patent
office.

Representative Briscoe has been can
yassing the House on the resolution he
intends to introduce declaring that the
only business of the special session Is
to pass Il revenue law. He said last
night that he had received encourage
ment from Il majority of the members.
He expects that the House will be
with him and that, unless deadlock
with the Senate occurs. the House and
Senate will be ready to adjourn next
Saturday.
Mr.. Ballinger of Park Is generally re-
garded as voicing the sentiments of
the majority of the representatives
upon the revenue question. The
House." said he will hold out for the
rights of the assessors. They should
be permitted to deal with the corporate
as well as private property. They
should meet in Denver once year to
consult as TO valuations. This compar-
ison of notes would not be binding
upon the individual assessors. but
would enable them TO secure valuable
data needed in their work. If the Su-
preme Court should decide that we
have the power to create a State Board
of Assessors consisting of all the as
SCISSORS, we will constitute such a
body"

to conserve the general welfare of the
people and the utter fufility of all at
tempts to swerve him from the deter
mined path of right and justice.
Resolved. that the sympathy of the
people of the state of Colorado,
through their representatives in LeSis-
lature assembled. be hereby rendered
to the family of the deceased. and that
