| needed q little information al
Providence, and as there was a youne
woman ahead of me, l had both TIM
and opportunity to watch the Il
man in charge of the booth. All b.
actions were slow and deliberate. h
had no nerves, apparently, and no ap-
probation of the fact that anyone
might be pressed for time. He did
nothing with directness. He would
dip his pen into an ink bottle out OF
sight somewhere under the desk and
hen shake it once or twice in the di.
rection of the floor to remove the
surplus ink and wave it in the air be-
fore beginning to write. Constantly
he was stopping to turn something
over or to push something aside in
search of a lost notation of some
sort. He would open a drawer and
then shut it, he would wander off to
some remote and hidden part of thu
Office for a blotter or a writing pad. or
some esoteric fact of which he seemed
to be in need; he would hesitate in
his work and look up as some one
E0oRS4f 49, AA tAAo ac AIlC MAS DdSS-
ing. His task was simply to copy d
and a number and a date in the
paper he was making out-a a
that he could have accomplished in
one-tenth of the time it took him had
he gone directly at it.
Most of his activity was merely lost
motion; it was a little flourish before
he began really to do anything; it had
or no connection with the main
task in hand. AS a worker he was
worth about fifteen cents an hour. and
he caused m nearly to miss an en-
gagement.
His method is not an
one. Any one who watched McCarter
his books would see that he studied
la this same way. Most of the time
that he was supposed to be studying.
he was filing his fountain pen. or h.
looking for his pipe or asking
irrelevant questions of his roommate
He talked or sang snatches of the
attest song or dozed over his book.
There was no concentration, no get
ing directly at the point. Most of
lis mental activity. if it could be SO
was lost motion; most of his
line was wasted.
Men tackle moral problems in much
he same way. They edge round
hem, they evade a definite issue.
hey play with moral principles as
he man in Providence played with
he materials on his desk. They get
owhere, because they have no
efnite objective in view. Their NOR
! activities are mostly lost motion.

AWAITM'LEAN HEARING

May Overshadow Oil
Scandal.
AWAIT M'LEAN HEARING
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light
Washington, ID. C.. March .
So tense has the atmosphere here be-
come since the Teapot Dome disclos-
ures were made and so sensitive are
officials and public men generally
about the reckless way in which
doubtful imputation is being given to
acts which ordinarily would be re-
garded as routine, that Washington
is developing a bad case of nerves.
The revelation that President Cool
idge sent n telegram to Palm Beach
to Edward B. Mclean, publisher of
the Washington Post. agreeing to
consult him about the appointment of
a commissioner for the District of
Columbia. was regarded as of such
importance as to require an immed-
late statement of explanation by the
President: Mr.. McLean's kilograms
from friends in Washington keeping
him posted about the activities of the
coiimittee before which he was to tes-
tify have been made the subject of
considerable discussion though when
analysed there is not a bit of inform
alton which Mr.. Mclean wouldn't
have been able to get himself if he
had been in Washington from the
reporters of his own newspaper.
Just at the moment the investiga-
ton is drifting along aimlessly, the
prosecutors hoping that they will \
stumble on something which will I'M
cover a sensation. The testimony of
Mr.. Mclean is, OF course. awaited
with intense interest as he will be
asked no doubt all about his relations
with government officials and what
he knew about the negotiation of the
oil leases by the DOheny and Sinclair
Interests. but nobody expects him 10
reveal that he was a principal in that
affair. As an informant, the COM
mittee expects much from him for he
enjoyed the confidence of the highest
officials.

Mr.. Kenyon was an assistant attor-
ney general in the Taft administra-
ton and made a splendid record in
prosecuting the trusts.
Judge Kenyon did not participate
in the selection of NJ. Brookhart as
Republican senator from Iowa. but he
was not displeased by the choice. He
is by no means unsympathetic with
the Brookhart attitude. something
which the conservatives of the Eas.
would have 10 swallow if they drafted

1t is doubtful, however, whether
