PICK HAN JLtS
WERE PROMINENT

One of the features Of the elect
ion at Lead Tuesday was the oak
cudgels welded by the hundred extra
city policemen. These weapons were
made from the ends of pick handles
which are used by the thousands II
the mines of the hills.
Prior to the election it was tie
unanimous opinion Of the people in
the hills that there would be severe
trouble at Lead. That there would
at least be several street brawls and
not few riots in which there wOulC;
be not a little shooting And it was
indeed surprise when everything
passed off orderly with only four
arrests for illegal voting.
At every polling place there We're
plenty of deputies and city police
armed with pick handles. These
men were lined up on the sidewalk;
twenty or thirty feet from the poll
ing places. From these lines they
were allowed to enter one by one
and vote, after which they were re
conducted to the street in regular
order and made to keep away from
the polls. With the exception of
the press reporters and the watchers
no one was allowed to enter the
polling place and stand around.

The old lesson sheets constituted,
as l thought, the very best course
in shorthand extant, but the new
ones. with their many important
changes and additions, are a long
step in advance.
In these lessons style of short
be equalled only through years OF
reporting experience, many hard
knocks" and much experimentation
with the good and the bad in the
old Pitmanic styles, and the ideas
of many fellow reporters. Such q
process, of course, has many pitfalls
and does not make for q rapid and
untrammelled development on the
part: Of the young writer.
So complete q revision of the
lessons and the adoption of so many
we'll considered, up-to-date sugges-
lions, bespeak the utmost of alert
ness and zeal in the learners be-
half. The largely increased amount
of work in the lessons bespeak q
thoroughness on instruction that
will quickly eliminate the lazy and
undesirable pupils and spare the
shorthand fraternity the infliction
of so many Cheap Jack" stenogra-
piers. At the same time, it doubly
assures the success of those who
mean business and are made of the
right STUFF.
l congratulate you most heartily
upon the new lesson. 1t would have
been worth many hundreds of dol
lars to me and would have avoided
the utter waste of several years OF
my life. to have had these lessons
ten years ago, with the humble
faith to follow them.
. Sincerely yours.
