Commercial Notes.
The aim OF the study of shorthand in
the High School is to prepare the stu
dents to do general Office work. The
study of shorthand has cultural value,
it will increase the student 8 knowledge
of the English language and enlarge his
vocabulary. 1t makes him alert, quick
of perception and capable of instant
analysis. 1t is good training for the
memory. Our combined commercial
and shorthand course is based upon
thoroughness and proficiency and deals
with vital facts. A thorough prepara-
ton for stenographic work means cap
ital that will produce a rich return.
Junior Notes.
We Juniors are so busy
With lessons and the like
It fairly makes US dizzy
And keeps US on the hike.
In Chemistry we strange;
In Latin we are i'll;
In English class we mangle
The language fit to kill.
But we will keep on working
And try good grades to win;
You will not find US Sinking
Until we are all in.
The Juniors who are in the music
class report that Miss Julia Edwards,
of music from Kansas City,
visited the class Friday. and praised
them very highly. It is we'll she did,
for whan they all occupy high positions
she will be glad to know that she heard
them and told them how we'll they were
1oing.
Those Chemistry papers are still ig.
,ored by Prof. Coonrod. He seems to-
rave taken terrible dislike for those
,apers and refuses to touch them.

Extra man wouldn't prevent accident.


1t is claimed that an extra man would enable
: the trainmen to discover causes of accidents
in time to prevent them. If such were the
case the railroads would, long ago, have en-
ployed this extra man, as it would be far
cheaper to do this than to pay for accidents
1t is not even claimed that an extra trainman
would detect causes Of accidents on passenger
train, in time to prevent them, yet, under this
law, every passenger train of cars or over is
classed with freight of over 40 cars and COM
PEELED to carry an extra man for whom it is
not eveu claimed that there is any need
1875 of accidents due to employees
own carelessness
Supporters of the law would have you believe
that trainmen are ruthlessly killed or wounded,
in Missouri, every few minutes, an exaggera-
ton appalling in the magnitude of its misre-
presentation. That trainmen are sometimes
injured, and even few of them are killed,
is source of great regret to the railroads,
who are spending thousands upon thousands
of dollars in Safety First work, to teach the
trainmen to be careful. If the railroads could
eliminate the accidents caused by the employ
ee's own carelessness, 74% of the accidents to
all trains, employees and passengers, would
be avoided.
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1914-10-29
Public Service Commission has power
to decide this question

~S~~S~~
If there is any need for these extra trainmen
the Public Service Commission has full power
to require the roads to employ them, when
ever and wherever the Commission thinks
they are necessary. Why then should law
be passed, overriding the authority of this
Commission, which is being paid by the State
to regulate just such matters? The answer is
plaln-the Commission is composed of fair
minded men, who have good Judgment and
they ha1r MT Mought that the extra k,uiumeu
are necessary.
Similar law defeated in other states
Similar laws have been proposed in other
states, but they have been defeated Governors
Foss OF Massachusetts,, Hughes and Dix of
New York, Harmon of Ohio, and Cruce of
Oklahoma have all vetoed similar laws as
either unfair or unnecessary, and the legisla-
lures OF Texas and Louisiana have refused
to pass such laws.
Would add $500,000 year
to railroad expenses
To pass such law in Missouri would add an
unnecessary burden of half million dollars a
year to the already over burdened railroads,
without accomplishing any good except to 500
men,Who would secure desirable Jobs and rem
der no valuable service in return for their pay.
The public would have to pay it
Since it is inevitable that the railroads must
receive additional revenue, or go into bank
ruptcy, then it must be plain that this added
burden, if voted must finally fall on the
general public.
If you were asked to vote an appropriation
to support in idleness, or in useless labor
some 500 able-bodied men, your vote would
be Overwhelmingly NO. Gentlemen, that
is proposition No. 9. Will you scratch YES
and vote NO?

The renewal Of gold exports to the

Gold shipments at this time of the year
are unusual and according to experts
were precipitated by the covering Of f.

the sharp rise in foreign discount rates,
together with the heavy foreign selling

He was right He COULD make

Franks lawyers consistently main

the appeal will be voluminous doc
