PRACTICAL HINT ON ECONOMY
esting Suggestion to Employees on
Use Of Pencil Holders.

An interesting suggestion Of econ
omy has recently been proposed by
an American railroad to its employees,
In the use of pencil holders. Ordinari-
~, a pencil is thrown away when it
has been reduced to its last third, but
If placed in a pencil holder 1t may be
used down to the last inch without
any inconvenience to the user. Each
pencil is a small item Of finance, but
or the amount Of pencils used by that
one company alone, the saving would
amount to thousands Of dollars every

alone. the Major and Colonel ttortou
had led the columns Of troops which
went In search Of the terrible Apaches,
and to them was given a great deal of
the credit for routing these rowing
bands.
During the years that had passed he
had seen, and taken part In, some of
the most important fighting in his
country's history. He had known the
tremendous JOY which comes with vic
tory and the depression which accom-
panies defeat. There had been battles
from which he and his company had
emerged without the loss OF O single
man On the other hand there had
been times when he led only q few,
discouraged and disheartcned men
from the field; remnants of his COM
pany. But, never, during oil his years
as a soldier, until now, had he suffered
such an overwhelming defeat. For.
Of the 200 men thot had made up
his little company, not q single
one of them had survived the on
slaught Of these Mexicans, but
himself. Never had he been called
upon to send In such a report as the
one he would have to give to Wash
ington on the fight at Diablo Pass.
AS he stared at the bodies Of his
troopers his mind seemed to become
dazed. He wondered whether it was
all a reality or the result of his
wound. Perhaps he was still uncon-
scious and was looking on this ter
rible scene In his dreams. Weak and
haggard, from long nights and days Of
exposure In the open accompanied by
lack of food; his courage gone; his
heart heavy; be presented a picture Of
deep misery. And, as he gazed at
the blood Of the youths great tears
came to his eyes, and he permitted
them to roll down his burned cheeks.
At that instant he would have given
his life to have been able to save
them. It seemed a travesty Of war
that he should be allowed to live and
they to die. They were young men,
many Of them: men who were needed
by their mothers, their wives, their Sis
tiers and their sweethearts. The
world needed them to assist in carry
ing on its affairs, but, when a man
reaches his age, there is little left
for him to do. In the years that had
gone he believed 1t the duty of every
man. whether young or old, to be ready
to surrender his life, at an instant's
notice, for his country. But now us
his eyes rested on the scene before

A CONVENTION SHOULD BE HELD

We believe a general election should
10 called to nominate a successor to
.ho late Senator Paul o. Husting, one
marriott whom Wisconsin had in the
1Tnited States senate. The governor
u,isbes TO appoint, but we believe the
noonle of Wisconsin should be given
chance TO show their colors. We
believe Wisconsin is a loyal state, in
fact we know so, but those outside the
state have a different opinion. Let a
convention be called and select a man
emo matter what his politics so long as
be is able to take the place of that
Grand nan of whom all Wisconsin is
nroud. 1t will give this state a chance
IN show TO the world where she stands,
and if we have traitors to find them
out.
AT a meeting of the editors of a
number of the daily newspapers in
wisconsin held ON Thursday evening,
Nov. /, this matter was thoroughly
gone over and by practically a unan-
imous vote the following resolution
was adopted:
Whereas, The death of the late
Senator Paul o. Husting has created
real vacancy in the ranks of the
loyal and able supporters of this coun-
try, and
Whereas, 1t is vital that his sue
cessor shall be man of unquestioned
Americanism, high ideals, ami peer
IN the best senators whom Wiscon-
sin has heretofore sent to the United
States Senate, now therefore,
BE 1t Resolved, 1t is the sense of
this association that the best way to
secure such a man would be by means
of a mass convention to nominate
candidate thereafter to be elected,
such convention to be composed of
Inn of all parties, coming from all
sections OF the state and representing
all yocations in life, all animated by a
single desire to support the govern
ment loyalty, uneQuivocally and
wholeheartedly in this present crisis"
The above should convince Gov.
Philip that the press as well as the
people want a special election. We
believe the governor is broadminded
enough to see which way the wind is
blowing, and we believe the legislature
should stand to a man for an election
for the unexpired term in the senate.
Let all loyal people stand as one man
for the upholding of the government
and show to the world that Wisconsin
is not as La Toilette would have them
think
