CLERK IS INCOMPETENT

SENATE JOURNAL NOT WRITTEN
Up-LAWs PASSED MAY
BE INVALID.

| 1t has recently leaked out that the
state senate has been having peck
of trouble in having it's journals writ
ten up and the end of the trouble has
and that the end of the trouble has
not yet been reached. When the leg
islature convened and the senate was
organized, senate employees were sell
ected, among them being a journal
clerk. He was a perfectly good Jour-
nal clerk, apparently, except for the
slight disability of being unable to
write up the journal. And in this lies
the whole story.
No Record Written.
The journal of each of the leglsla-
tive houses is intended to be a per-
manent record, which after the session
is held in the Office of the secretary Of
state For several sessions the legis-
lative journals have been written in

senate journal clerk, although q good
democrat, was not accustomed to the
use of such a machine and was con-

Fields Of Vision.

Aside from the monkey, man is the
only animal having what we call bin
ocular single vision. That is, he can
tell not only the direction of an OBJ
ject, but he can estimate fairly accur-
ately it's distance. This Is because
both of his eyes point at the same OBJ
ject at the same time. like two range
finders. Other animals do not concen-
trate their gaze in this way. Their
eyes are set more nearly at the sides
of the head so that they see not only
forward but backward for a short dis
lance Man, on the contrary, Assess
clearly only the object at which he
looks directly.

Mr.. Lawton, who came from Michi-
gan, was very anxious to introduce
one-man machines. Our men said
they had always been accustomed TO
two men to machine and that Is what
they were going to have. Instead of
bulling it through, We went around in
the slopes and whenever we got
chance we told the men, here, this is
wrong. You men have got the wrong
idea of this thing. We do not want to
have a man work alone with one of
these great heavy machines. We want
to give you light machines and in
stead of there being two men working
in this drift with this large machine,
we are going to give each light ma
chine in drift by himself. Now here
is wha. you must realize: If we have
got to work two men on machine
this rock is not ore it will not pay
to treat it; but if we can work one
man on a machine, then 1t becomes
ore; so you are standing in your own
light. 1t does not mean that one man
is going to be thrown out; 1t simply
means that we are going to make
places for two to work"
They gradually realized this and in
men to go back to two men on ma
chine, because they felt now that each
man stood on his own merit and got
credit for the work he did. Therefore,
improve our mining and our metal
lurgical methods that we can afford to
pay these higher wages, make the men
better American citizens and permit
just as well, make just as much profit
and shall have a much better and a
much better satisfied community

BRITISH FOUGHT TO
DEATH ALONG USER

i6. (by the Associated Press.) - The
British Headquarters in France, July
German attack along the sand dunes
of the Belgian coast on Tuesday ave-
ming was in nearly all respects a min
nature of the British attack on the
Messines ridge on June Z. 1t seemed
as if the Germans had studied thai bat
tie in detail n planned their thrust
wholly on the lessons learned. There
was a vast difference in the size of he
two operations, however, for while the
German attack on Tuesday was linz
tied to 1,400 yards. the British charge
at Messlnes was along a 1e-mile front.
The German lines to the river User
and the sea formed a triangle, the base
of which was the coast line. In this
angle, the sands of which are now dyed
red with English blood, were North
Hampton troops n Kings Royal
Rifles. The garrison fought to the
death. and the German report of 1850
prisoners taken cannot be correct.

the first 500. 900 of the new army. The
total of the three forces will be 1.262,-
