SCIENCE oE EFFICIENCY.
(Ohio State Journal.)

.... NOHtp Sldte JOuTudl.l ~ ~.
This Is the phrase evolved from At.
torney Brandels' challenge to the rail,
roads to let him show them how to
save a million day in the scientific
operation of their enterprises. but
which challenge they refuse to &C.
cept. This little banter of Brandels
has impressed the country that the
lack of scientific management exists
everywhere. There is hardly shop,
a store or business Of any kind where
great waste does not prevail from
laziness, carelessness, disorder and
inattention. A casual observer can,
not go into any sort Of enterprise EN-.
ploying a great number Of men and
women without noting the waste Of
time and effort. .s5
And the public pays for this waste,
of course. IL has to pay in the freight
and passenger traffic. the million dol,

ing by reason of ignorant or careless
management. And 1t Is not only a
money loss, but It Is a loss of charac-
ter and integrity, too, every time a
man fails to put In, intelligently and
honestly, every hour he is paid for.
The science Of efficiency ought to be
the study Of every business. not only
in the interest OF economy, but In the
interest OF personal honor. How much

ESCAPED MADMEN KILL
WOMAN AID 3 men
Bodies Were Found by Rural
Mail Carrier.

Mrs. Emmeline Barnhardt, her son.
George; Thomas Morgan, Young man
who was living at the farmhouse while
on hunting trip, and Glenn Cotter, a
farmland. Were fOnnd dead on the
Barnhardt farm, near Olathe, Kan.
The four. with heads crushed in and
bodies cut and torn, were discovered
by Earl Grey, mail carrier, after he
had become suspicious at the accumu-
latlon of mail in the letterbox.
The bodies of the men were lving
IN the caked blood in the stable. Mrs.
Barnhardt's body was found in a little
storeroom just off from an unstairs
bedroom in the large farmhouse, al
most half a mile from the barn.
Some blunt instrument had been
used, and it was at fist thought that
the crime was the work OF thieves who
had heard OF the rumOrs Of large sums
OF money kept in the house because
Mrs. Barnhardt feared to place her
savings in banks.
This theory, however. is not held by
detectives from Kansas City. They
say that reports from the state asy.um
for the insane chat two dangerous mad
men have recently escaped, and the
appearance of the bodies leads them
to believe that the crazed men are
responsible for the crime.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Racing plans fol-
British Columbia for 1910 are indefinite
as yet, as the horsemen are waiting
to see what action is taken at Ottawa
on the racetrack legislation now before
parliament. 1t is understood, however,
that plans are being laid for four big
meetings in the province this year, two
In Victoria and two in Vancouver.
The lengthy meetings of last year
viii be abandoned and shorter meetings
substituted. 1t is intended to have four
meetings of 80 days each. The pro-
posal now under consideration is for
at the capital, giving Victoria the first
big holiday of the year, May "a.
Then the horses would come to the
British Columbia thoroughbred asso-
cations fine track at Minoru park in
June for 30 days of racing, giving Van
couver Dominion day.
After this meeting the horses would
go back to the capital in July for 80
Gays and return to Vancouver IN
August for 80 days This last meeting
would wind up the season, with the ex-
ceptlon, possibly, of a week of racing
tor the Victoria exhibition.
OF course, everything hinges on the
action of parliament at ottawa, but it
is not thought that any adverse Iegis-
