 LEGISLATURE.
Mrs Maurice Presents a Paper on the Navy League Work, Which Should Prove of the Most Vital In. terest to AL

Suffraeettes of Hot Springs held a meeting last night at the Business Mems League which was in the na- ture of a test'm nial of appreciation 10 John A. Riggs, Garland county member Of the last legislative ses- sion, for the enthusiastic interest he evidenced there in having the suf- fraee bill passed into law. There was music and refreshments were served by the ladies of the committee. John A. Riggs made a neat response to the call on him. in which he took little of the credit for the results, but SD ke of the splendid help that he had received from many sources. He predicted that later the right of suffrage would be extended, and that he would always ardently advocate the right Of the woman to take part in public affairs
 Mrs Bancroft spoke before the gathering on the organization here of the local Red Cross Society, and the great help that had been received. and of the further needs She pleaded fir extended membership and cooperation

BUSINESS EFFICIENCY
BY H. ]. Barrett.

Il wonder if the average business
man realizes how much time he wastes
in improvising every letter he die
tates." remarked one recently.
Most Of ones daily correspondence
deals with matters which have been
covered previously by letters written
to other customers or prospects. AS
a consequence. one devotes valuable
time to expressing the same old ar
guments and explaining the same old
points.
when this thought occurred to me
I resolved to evolve some method Of
avoiding this senseless duplication of
effort. I took one weeks correspon-
dence as a guide and proceeded to
classify it according to subjects. Then
selected or wrote typical paragraphs
covering points which had arisen re-
garding those subjects. Next | had
these typed on sheets of flexible card
board. 1t was then a simple matter to
number and index the sheets and ar
range them in a box which kept on
my desk.
Then. when a letter had to be die
tated. by referring to my debating file
I could promptly put my finger on
just what to say and find it expressed
in carefully studied form. It was
then n simple matter to read it aloud
to my stenographer. One day. when
in a stationer's shop. | ran across a
device which was identical in principle
with but an Improvement in form upon
my box of cards. so | purcha scd one
and now use it.
This system Is a compromise be-
tween my old method of improvising
and the later highly efficient plan Of
using numbered stock paragraphs
i Las latter plan. which eliminates die
tation entirely. Is. OF course. the ideal
method. But 1t is too infleXible to suit
the exigencies OF my correspondence.
For, my purpose this arrangement
seems to be the ideal one. 1t makes
for efficiency in handling correspon-
dence. 1t has saved nearly an hour a
day of my time

A TIME FOR TOLERANCE.

The world is torn and bleeding. Men
sands. Women go about weeping and
laughter is no longer heard from the
lips of little children. The teachings
of Jesus Christ have been forgotten By
tyrants who have set the earth on fire.
Is not this an hour for Kindness. for
tolerance, for earnest desire to work
with our neighbor for the things that
are just:
Shall we not travel together toward
the goal where man to man shall be
a friend and brother" as Gerald Mas
sey wrote:
In all this awful strife from which
humanity is to come forth to newer
heights or TO sink to plumbless depths
is there anything to be won by extend
ing the war to the religious beliefs Or
suit save increased hatred and bitter
ness at an hour when man most needs
a brother?
We are moved to these thoughts by
the somewhat harsh criticism of Il
bishop in attendance ut Il conference Of
Christian brethren in Missoula.
We do not believe that intolerance
may be found with the Protestant and
Roman Catholic chaplains wearing the
uniform of the United States army
and marching side by side on the bat
tletields of France. comrades under fire
and facing death together in the sub
lime effort OF preparing the souls OF
men to meet their God

The University Spirit.
Editor MisSouIian:

Through late issues Of YOUR paper
have become informed of the fact that
the local students of the State Uni
vcrsity are making arrangements for
an informal dinner to be given in honor
of the new president of the institution,
Dr. r.. q. Sisson. ! have always felt
a keen interest in the university and
am an admirer of the unique college
spirit of our institution almost in
variably manifest. | have considered
it my privilege always to keep in close
touch with college activities of ;lh
kinds: football, basketball. track. and
other sports: carnivals. theatricals, and
the college paper. In all these and
more, the students have always shown
Il most admirable spirit, but it is my
honest opinion that there has never
been an occasion when the students of
this university have more fittingly
demonstrated real Montana spirit than
they are in this welcome dinner for
their new president.
Never. | think. has there been a time
when college spirit was more needed.
Never was there a time when it could
do Il greater good. The university cal
endar has been changed, the war has
taken many of the leading spirits
among the students. college organiza
tons of all kinds have undergone
changes in one way or another. 1t is
to this kind OF school that the new
president is coming.
The students residing in MisSoula
have voluntarily taken it upon them
selves to make Mr.. Sisson feel. to make
him know, that they are behind him.
That they arc not going to stand by
and see Montana traditions. customs
and spirit die. They are showing the
city, the state and possibly the coun-
try. just what this spirit which we
have watched constantly growing. now
amounts to. 1t is II most commcndable
movement and deserves the earnest
support of every local student. | only
wish that | could do something to help
them.

A REAL GOVERNOR.

This war may differ from other wars
even glory may not wholly be won on
the battlefields, but may come to those
who stand and wait" We have in
mind the new governor of Illinois,
Colonel Frank Lowden, who has met Il
trying situation with unexpected grasp
and resourcefulness.
Chicago has long been u nest OF
money vulturcs, who have fattcncd ON
the necessities of the people. Their
special lines OF piracy is found in cor
ners of various kinds of food, but they
also squeeze the poor each year by
understood that most of the food kings
have headquarters in Chicago and from
there operate over all the United
States. Recently. investigators from
the Department of Justice, found that
several big packing houses were cor
nering the crop of tomatoes in cali
fornia.
\ few days ago when the coal opera
tors had begun their annual pastime of
putting the screws on the people, Gov
ernor Lowden took a hand. He did not
avoid an unpleasant situation by say
ing that no laws could be found which
permitted this or that. Somehow,
he found, much to the surprise and
satisfaction of the people of Illinois,
that there was a way to appoint a di-
rector of coal, whose duties would in
volvc the regulation of price. produc-
ton. distribution and transportation
of coal to b" consumed by the people
of the state of Illinois. Forthwith he
gave this important duty to Chief Jus
tlcc orrln y. Carter of the Supreme
Court, who will act in conjunction
with committees of the state council
of defense and the coal operators
When the dealers found that they were
beaten. they were in Il hurry to make
some sort of an agreement. Under this
agreement the coal director has the
power, from time to time. to determine
til" price of coal at the mine mouth in
the various districts of the state and
this price IS not to exceed the maxi
mum fixed ny the federal government.
1t the Operators had not yielded, Gov
crnor Lowdcn wohld have seized the
mining properties in the state and
operated them.
Their" is no doubt that the same
process could be successfully carried
out in other places. 1t would only need
a man OF nerve in the governors chair
to civ" the people what they need
