Among the recent students who

2s. writes as follows:
Southern Shorthand and Business
University Atlanta, Ga:
"Gentlemen-Anyon can attend
your college with absolute assur-
ance OF satisfaction, as your courses
are easily and quickly learned and
they meet every requirement.
Il consider Graham Pitmanic
Shorthand the best In existence,
chiefly on account Of its simplicity.
I SPENT ONLY THREE MONTHS
in completing your Shorthand and
Typewriting Course, and immedi-
ately accepted position with

Schools. which you secured for me.
Sincerely yours
MISS ROSEBUD ALTMAN"
Yes, the Southern's pupils learn
as much about shorthand In one
week as do the pupils of any school
on earth, and they become better
stenographers in three months than
do the pupils of any of the nom
Pitmanic systems. but the South
ern prefers its pupils to give little
longer time to the study and there
by become experts.
That's why the business men pre-
fer the Southern's pupils.
The business men have already
become disguised with stenogra-
pliers writing some of the new
tangled systems, as evidenced by

A L U

The Sacramento Bee, of December
so, casts the following slur at Senator
W. A. Massey, written by its Wash
ington correspondent, G. X. Nc
CATCHY, Jr., presumably a son of the
editor of that sheet;
"Nevada IS going through this
session with only one senator. W. A..
Massey, appointed to fill the term of
the late Senator Nixon and defeated
for reelection, has returned to Ne
vada, having expressed his intention
If not returning. Massey, however,
appe.sed for a few days at the open
ing of congress, qualified for the col
lection of mileage for this session,
amounting in his case to nearly $500.
shortly afterward he departed for his
home and Senator Newlands is repre-
senting the state in the senate alone.
Massey was supposed to represent
Nevada until his successor and sue
~eessful rival, Key Pittman, qualifed.v
Talk Of this kind, coming from a
Progressive " paper before election,
would be expected, but the ell elton is
over, and there is no particular reason
for the Bee 70 be showing its hostility
at this time to a regular Republican
official.
Senator Massey successor will be
elected by the legislature which con
venes on the Goth instant, and should
take his seat before the first of Feb
ruary. Coming home for the holiday
recess, Senator Massey saw no urgent
reason for his returning to Washing
ton, and has not done so. SO far as
drawing his mileage is concerned, the
people of Nevada are confident that
Senator Massey drew no more than he
was justly entitled to, and there is
no cause for comment on that score.
During his brief term in the upper
house of congress Senator Massey in
troduced more bills for the benefit of
Nevada than has any other Senator in
an equal length of time. In addition.
he was recognized as the intellectual
equal of any man in the senate and
enjoyed a reputation amongst his col
leagues for ability rarely acquired by
a new Senator during his first full
six-year term.
