Mississippi river. 1t was not in the
West that whole county wns practi-
cally disfranchiscd because men sold
their votes. 1t was not in the West
that night riders could terrorize u

that so many lynchings are reported.
IL is not in the West that the recall of
decisions OF state courts is made Na.

most foolish proposition that has ever
been sprung upon the American people
as a National policy, a matter IN which
the Nation could have no possible CON

is that the acceptance OF the loan
was in the interest Of Yuan Shi Kai

and they threaten impeachment in case
Yuan Shi kaI carries out the terms of

any Impeachment, for Yuan Shi Kai
holds the whip hand. Whatever money

hands. He will receive it direct from
the five powers lending il, and these
will back him in maintaining the

DOES THIS APPLY TO YOU?

I was in a mans office yesterday and ] saw him
searching through a lot Of papers in and on his desk
for three or four minutes more looking for a blotter.
BY the time he had found the blotter the ink had dried
and he didn't need it.
He is working hard all the time but ~accomplishes
very little. That is a mistake that lots Of men make.
They do not have any system in keeping their working
tools where they need them. They have to search all
through their desk for them and by the time they find
them they have lost much valuable time and generally
forgotten what they were going to do with them after
they found them. How much would a carpenter &C
complish if he threw his tools down in the shavings?
This man works hard but accomplishes very little.
He thinks that activity is productivity. That is not al
ways the case. Motions are not necessarily deeds. 1t IS
easy to be physically busy doing nothing.
Don't scatter your working tools around indlscr1m-
inately. Have a place for them in your desk and put
them back in that place just as soon as you are through
with them. If you will really do that, instead Of just
thinking you are going to do it, you will save hours Of
time every month. That IS just as much the duty OF a
clerk as it is the proprietor and the clerk who does not
do that will never be a proprietor
