The Elbert County tribune., 1907-02-28


fore the committee on state instiu-
tions, which had not been granted. He
moved to re-refer the bill. Senator
Lewis said the bill had been printed
for weeks and Senator Wood could
have arranged for a hearing at any
time. He did not think Senator Wood
was acting in very good faith Sena-
tor Anfenger called attention to a
statement OF Senator Wood. two
weeks ago, to the effect that he
wanted hearing. At that time he had
been invited to bring on his constitu-
ents. Senator Wood replied that the
bill had been on the calendar, favor
ably reported by the committee, and
that hearing would have been of no
avail. There was much debate on this
bill before the motion to recommit
was put. Senator Barela said he had
heard no complaints against the
measure among the coal miners of Las
Animas county. Senator Scott spoke
heartily in favor of the bill He de-
clared that 1t is designed to serve n
humanitarian purpose. The motion to
recommit was lost. Senator Campbell
thought he saw an effort to open a
mine on particular section of land
at heavy cost to the state. He moved
TO strike out the enacting clause
Senator Drake opposed the bill on the
ground that the opening of a mine on
state land would require the building
and maintenance of railroads and run
up to heavy expense, Senator Wood
said the project would cost the state
fully 100000 before a ton of coal
could be mined. Senator Lewis said
the land proposed to be leased in the
bill belongs to the Fred Reynolds es-
tate, but he was now satisfied 1t could
not bc produced and had no objection
to an amendment striking out this spec
ification. The minority continued it's
fusillade against the bill, which was
defended by the authors Senator
Campbell finally withdrew his motion
to strike out the enacting clause in
view of certain amendments removing
the spScific tract of land to be leased.
Senator De Long moved to strike out
section /, and offered a substitute al
lowing the penitentiary commissioners
to lease any available tract from the
state for coal mining purposes This
amendment was adopted and the bill
.avorably reported by vote of seven
teen TO eleven.

EXPENSIVE AUDITING
sTILLINGS' SYSTEM SAID TO COST
$500 A DAY.

1t is the expressed opinion of government
officials and others who claim to know
that there Is trouble ahead for Pubic
Printer Stillings when Congress comes to
town few weeks hence. 1t Is said his
gilt-edge. high-price audit system will be
the objective Of the assaulting column.
An official who has been keen observer
of events and more or less of a student
Of the complicated system which has
been installed in the public printery re-
marked today, with a tinge of irony and
sarcasm:
ANY one looking for audit system
cannot do better than examine Mr.. Still
ings cheap. economical methods. With
out doubt the navy yard, bureau of en-
craving and printing, Treasury Depart
ment. and. in fact. all the departments
should ask Congress to put them next to
this good thing"
He gave the following conservative esti-
mates for the information of the public
and Congress:
Costly Timekeeping. ..
appropriation by Congress, $40 OGO; cost.
of printed matter required, 10000 100
clerks at $50 per month each 100000 loss
of time, ten minutes per day. 5000 en-
ployes. S50.OO0-total to date. $3.50 600.
THE cost per day foots up as follows:
Printing $50: clerk hire. 500: loss of time
of employees. s225-total $5O5.
rs there anything more modern than q
time-keeping system costing $500 a day."
Continuing. the official said
Not a man in the government printing
office today does the work he did two years
ago, because of red tape and system
cept-of course, there are exceptions-so
never would work men who have been pro-
NOTED for efficiency.
Come, all we doubters, investigate Ask
your friends in the office, figure for your
selves and be convinced Of Mr.. Stilings'
GROWING achievement.
"a List of Successes.
His minor successes of discharging ca
pable and tried men and women; creating
Offices with hsh-soundng titles; rebuilding
the printing ofIice-not the old one:
designing fancy uniforms: filming old en-
ployes; providing expert medical service
for accidental cases. like a fracture of the
wrist, for instance: crowding two people
into the space formerly occupied by one;
eliminating all looking glasses and Mckin-
ley's picture from the walls issuing large
numbers of orders impossible of obedience
and others quite numerous are all to his
credit. but the aud system is a triumph
of genius and a reckless expenditure of
time and money.
Let us believe the pace Is too strenuous
few more of these successes and Null
doom will have another distinguished pa
tient.
Il am trying to inform you of the audit
system Have part ally succeeded?'

SWIFT MRS. PALMER.
She Is Breaking Records in Long
Distance Travel.

NEW YORK, September 14.-Mrs. Potter
Palmer, who was a passenger on the Lusi-
tania, reached her home in Chicago this
morning, with the record of having made a
long Journey in the quickest time that any
woman has ever achieved.
Mrs. Palmer bethought herself Of demon
strating the speed possible by modern
methods of travel while she was coming
over on the big Cunarder.
The Lusitanias passengers were landed
shortly after the noon hour, and at pm
Mrs Palmer was on board the Pennsylvania
eightee n-hour special, which reached
Chicago about o'clock this morning.
The Lusitania left Liverpool last Satur-
day night, so that Mrs. Palmer. on her ar
rival in Chicago today, will have trav-

Twenty houses will be
finished about Oct. 4.

One of the largest building
enterprises ever undertaken in

is the building up OF square

eighty modern houses, twenty
of which will be practically
finished by the Ist of October.
A more modern or sanitary
house than this design has
never been built, and the price
at which they are offered,
$1,000 to $3.50, has caused
much comment, as it was
thought impossible to build
houses of this character at
such a marvelously low price.

Fornker After Taft.

again nearly all afternoon in the Senate
yesterday. Maj. Gen. Joseph Benson For

Maj. Gen. William Howard Taft, and the
Buckeye cohorts of Foraker declared that
his shots battered yawning gaps in the
ramparts of the enemy. It was field day
for Ohio Presidential politics.
Senator Foraker closed his argument
on the Twenty-ffth Infantry incident. He
addressed himself more to Secretary Taft
than 10 the President. He produced docu-
mentary evidence in support Of his charge

Delaware, is the final scene in the elimi-
nation Of Addicks and Of those henchmen
and hangers-on Of Addicks whose methods
and character constituted the baleful sys-
tenn known as Addicksism. For more than
sixteen years Commonwealth has been
thrown into political chaos. which not
only nulifed the State as a participant
in its constitutional rights and response

4 Word for the Editors.

A mighty controversy RACES in New
Nork-a controversy out of which much
good may come. Fierce, furious. and en-
phsuc are the words. high-sounding and
impressive is the rhetoric employed, The
Qualifcat tions Of the magazine editors are
under discussion. New York seeks to know
whether they understand their business
of judging the merits of manuscript sub
mittcd or are simply a conglomerate
horde of intellectual nonenuties who do
not know enough to get in when it rains
The topic is one to be approached with
infinite circumspection and care The
editor of a magazine is an awe-inspiring
individuals of course are some other
editors, to an extent-and discussion of
them must be kept strictly within the
rules OF parliamentary debate. Unfayor-
able criticism-did one venture to express
such thing-is especially dangerous, for
should il arouse the entire host of mag
azine editors into action, the famous army
of XerXes would seem as nothing more
than corporars guard in comparison.
We shudder TO think of the frightful con-
sequences should the concerted maSa-
zines Of the land explode simultaneously
beneath one offending soul.
For ourselves, we have nothing but
kind words for the magazine editor. He
has d dark, rough, and rugged road to
travel. but he manages. all in all. TO
scramble along quite worthily. out of
the tangled mass Of manuscript submitted
he must find. if he can, something new
and novel for the jaded tastes Of his read
ers. There is much fair TO middling"
stun sent to him; just as the world is
packed and jammed with fair to mid
ding" people. That is not what he is
looking for-though. with all his effort. il
seems about the only thing he manages
to find. He realizes that he has a repu-
tation for uncommon astuteness at stake.
and he does his best TO maintain il.
Angels, no matter how happily or enthusi-
astically disposed, could do no better
We can think of no more unhappy fate
that could befall man in this world be-
low than to be a magazine editor, unless,
indeed. it were possible to be two maga-
zine editors. Judging the beauty Of
infant America at a baby show is not
one Whit more strenuous than passing
judgment upon the children of an aspir-
ing genius imagination and fancy. His
is a hard lot; as hard a lot, we fancy. as
the hard lot of a newspaper editor who
sets out TO print the truth. That The
editor makes so many mistakes
is not the magazine editors fault; il is
the result Of his tactful consideration and
