Every Minute Counts.

A business man from small south
ern town was visiting New York. A
friend asked him what was the most
impressive thing he had seen so far
the high buildings, the subway, the
ocean liners or what.

ply. THE thing that impressed me
most was the rush in everything. L

woman, evidently new hand, was
opening the mail. There must have
been several hundred letters. She cut
one open, took out the letter and laid
1t In its proper basket.

boss. Every time you lay down that
paper cutter and take it up again you
are wasting time Cut them all open
first and then take them out. You will
save at least ten minutes that way

patent was taken out in England by
Henry Mill for "a machine for i'm

one and practically useless. 1t was
not until over a century later QS29l
that anything more i'll this line was
attempted Then the first American
typewriter. called a ''typographer.' was
patented by W. A. Burt
In 1923 machine was produced in
France having separate key lever
for each letter, and between the years
1910 and 1860 Sir Charles MILESTONE
invented several machines which are
now preserved in the South Kensing-

Senator lormer Makes Vigorous Denial That Money Was Used

Springfield, Ill.-Bursting like a bomb within few hours after United States Senator Lorimer's ad- dress at Washington, in which he de nounced in vigorous terms those persons who had seen fit to question the methods by which he was elected, State Senator John Briderick, lead ing Chicago politician, was indicted on bribery charge by the grand jury here. Brodericks indictment was the direct result of confession made to the grand jury by State Senator D. w. Holtslaw of Iuka, H., who says Frederick paid him $2,500 to vote for Lorimer for United States senator. A capias was at once or dered for Frederick and bench warrant issued for his arrest.

May Settle an Old Score.

Under the deficiency bill to be passed by congress this year, Arkan- sas will be freed of the $115,000 na- tional guard equipment bill. which the government has held over 1t for 40 years, growing gradually each year. Adjutant General Green has returned from Washington, where he went to make an effort to have this old obligation removed. For 40 ment was made with the war depart ment for supplies sent to the Arkan- sas national guard The supplies were used up and worn out, and still no credit was given for them on the books of the war department fbr survey and a report made to the de- partment The cause for this was that no separate adjutant general was appointed by the governor, the business of the national guard be- ing attended to by an already over worked secretary of the governor.
 In 1904 the private secretary of the governor began to carry out the or ders of the war department, and a board of survey checked up the books and reported on the S115,000 worth of missing supplies. The secretary of war declined to mark off the ac- count, stating 1t was of too great magnitude. It then remained for a bill to go through congress to grant relief to the Arkansas national guard, but up to the present time no member of congress has introduced the bill. General Green, during his visit to Washington, arranged with Congressman Floyd of the Third dis trict to take the matter up at once and an effort will be made to care fer it in the deficiency bill which will be passed at this session Of con, gress. From 1904 until the present time the Arkansas national guard has made an annual report of sup plies on hand, and received credit for the amount worn out and used up. There is no danger of a repeti- tion of the past evil.

U. s. SENATOR lORIMER, Central Figure in Illinois Latest
 Political Scandal.

The unexpected turn in the Lori mer scandal was an offshoot of States Attorney Burkes investigation of alleged graft in connection with furniture deal, in which the contract for furniture for the state legislative chambers was let to the highest bid ders Senator Holtslaw had been indicted on a charge of perjury in connection with the furniture con tract and upon advice of kis law yers, when offered immunity, agreed to make a confession. He told the grand jury he had been paid $2,500 for his vote for Lorimer, s700 as his share of a legislative jackpot and a promise of s1,500 as his share of the state house furniture deal
 Senator Holtslaw's confession re- garding the furniture deal was cor roborated before the grand jury by Otto Prefer of Chicago. who. as agent for the Ford-Johnson Furniture Com pany, obtained the furniture con- tract. The two confessions regard ing the furniture contract resulted in two additional indictments on a con- spiracy charge. These were State Senator s. s. Pemberton of Oakland and Representative Josenh s. Clark of Vandalia
 In his speech in the United States senate, Senator Lorimer was espec- iallv bitter toward the Chicago Fri bune. which first printed the story of alleged bribery. Governor Dineen was also charged with numerous acts of rnlitinal traa anhar1- h1r I

OPINION TO WAIT ON RULING
 OF CIRCUIT COURT.
Attorney General Will Wait for De cision of Court in Case Against
 w. s. Pope.

There will be no opinion handed down from the attorney generals de partment relative to the status of so-called interinsurance companies in this state until after the case against W. S. Pope is disposed of in the Sc bastian county circuit court, accord ing to a statement authorized by As sistant Attorney General Rector Recently the officers of the State As sociation of Local Fire Insurance Agents asked the state auditor for a ruling as to whether or not these inter-insurance companies are in vio- lation of the state insurance laws; and, if so, does their position not make their policyholders liable for the acts of the company and it's agents, through the;r relation as nu- tual sharers in the advantage offered by the company.
 The matter has attracted so much attention because of the bearing 1t may have on an extensive branch of insurance that the attorney general Is considering the matter very care fully before acting. and has reached the conclusion that since the case against Pope, above referred to. will naturally determine the question by court construction, he will await a hearing in that case. Pope was an agent for the Commercial Underwrit- CTS Association of San Antonio, Texas, and was indicted on the charge of violating the insurance laws by soliciting business in this state without a license and for a company that has not been regular ly chartered here. His defense is that his company is an inter-insur- ance concern and not amenable to the ordinary insurance statutes The case is well in point, and will prob ably result in having the courts of the state construe the insurance laws so as to cover all the questions in- volved in t-2e fight now being made on inter-insurance companies by the State Fire Insurance Agents Asso- citation. It is understood the case against the Commercial Underwriters representative will be heard next monthS
