‘ HARDING
(“'illium Allen \‘v'hllc in the
limporia Gazette.)
Three )cars ago in that Republican
national convention at Chicago. the
writer of llicro lines made some
moan rmn::‘.'ks to Senator Jim Hic-
wmt of “'lt-biin. about “forum G.
Harding. “ho was about to be nom-
inated for the presidency by the Re-
publican party. \Ve said at the time
and blush for it now. that “Harding
is an encrusted old reactionary with
a ration rrcord." and more of the
some kind.
\V'cll three ycnrs have passed. and
during those three years President
Harding has stood for such advanced
legislation that we are compelled to
cut dirt. lie is not a reactionary;
ho is as crazy a. Progressive as the
Bull Mooscrs ever were. In his re-
cent series of speeches he not only
has stood for every piece of legis-
lation forced through Congress by
the agricultural hloc. but has brag-
ged about it. ”More than that. he
has come out against the open shop.
He has told the world what the gov-
crnmcnt is doing to protect union
labor. He is standing for a world
court of Justice even though it
threatens to split the party. He is
standing for more federal control
and regulation of railroads to pre-
vent government ownership. He is
standing for an elastic tariff and
stood by the progressive member of
the tariff commission who is trying
in make the tariff more flexible.
President Herding is standing squar-
ely by prohibition and is defying the
eastern Republicans who want to
dodge the law enforcement issue.
\V’herever the President has an op-
portunity to take the liberal position
even to what three years ago would
have been called radicalism, Presi-
dent Harding has taken it. If the
men who nominated his could have
known three years ago what a mill.
tant Progressive Harding would be-
come. they would have denied him
the nomination.
So we apoligise to Jim Stewart.
Harding is not the kind of a man we
said he was. And we have a notion
that maybe he isn't the sac of man
Jim thought .he was. '

lNVENTOR EXPECTED POPULARlTY
0F TYPEWRITER WOLFE} BE BRLEF;
Pill; ARDED lT MERELY ASP ifiVEL’l‘Y
Ifcrkimer County. Non Yolk. was
the birthplace of the first piacilcai
typewriter. This occurred in “~73
'hich makes this your. 1922, the
ifticth Anniversary. Therefore. the
Hockimcr County [historical Society
is celebrating the event and in doing
so , is reviewing bricfly the history
of this grcnt invcntion.
Among the inventions of man. his-
tory rct‘nl'tls no more forceful story
than that of the typewriter. and few.
even though they use the typewriter
daily appreciate its full value. Sincl-
‘thc typewriter enables man to think
,nnd act more quickly and concisely.
it has become the greatest contri-
buting factor to the marvelous co-
t-inl. educational. and industrial pro-
gress of the Twentieth Century. a
First llu-ordcd ldca.
The first rccordcd idea of a typo-
\vritcr was advanced by Henry Mill.
on English Engineer. in l7l4. more
than two centuries ago. Mill's con-
tribution to typewriter history cun-
sisted only of an idea. Nu modcl
was submitted. but in his claims. as
recorded in the British Patent Of'b
ice. he gave a definition of the pres-
ent day typewflter‘ that cannot be
cxccllcd. it follows:—
"l"or impressing or transcribing
of letters singly or progressively. one
after anotht-r as in writing. where-
by all writing whatsoever may be
engrossed in paper or parchment so
neat and exact as not to be distin-
guished from print."
Many futile efforts were made by
French and German inventors dur-
ing the next hundred years, to pro-
duce a machine as described by
Mill. It seems. however.'that the in-
ventors of that day had only the
purpose in view of serving the blind,
as all their machines embodied the
embossing principle.
In 1829. \Viliiam Austin Burt. of
Detroit. Michigan. was granted the
first American patent on a typewrit-
er. but his model. together with all
papers filed with reference to it.
were destroyed in‘ 1836 when the
Congressional Library at \V‘ashing-
ton was burned. Between that time
and the time of the first practical
typewriter. the pendulum of pro-
gress in typewriter development
swung from one continent ‘to the
other. but with no satisfactory re-
sults, except that each profited by
the success and failures of his pred-
ecessors. Each served as a step-
ping stone wfor the other. therefore.
all are entitled to credit.
Became Enthusiastic. ._
Christopher Latham Shoios of
Milwaukee. together with his co-
inventors. Glldden and Souple. stim-
ulated by the efforts of others. pro-
duced a typewriter -which- was pat-
ented in 1838. After Sholes .and
others had sectred patent papers.
Ir. Sholes wss~so enthusiastic that
he addressed a number 0! letters to
his friends concerning ".the machine.
submitting samples of its work. For-
tunately. one of these letters toll in-
to the hands of James Densmoro of
Headville. Pena. a wealthy oil pro-
ducer. who at once r the
poutbilities of such an invention
and immediately opened negotiation
for the purchase of an interest in
the enterprise. He succeeded in se-
curing a fourth interest in paying
all of the menses previously incur-
red. This too. was before he had
seen the machine. After seeing it
several months later. be pronounced

and cxpcrt mechanic. was then cal-
led in for a filial inspection and
advice. He made a few suggestions
as to its well equipped machine
manufacturlng company. in order
that the parts could be built with
such accurncy that they might be
interchangeable. This was necessary
if it was ever to attain a high de-
gree of profitable service. It was.
therefore, largely through the in~
fluence of Toot. that the machine
found its way to Herkimer County
into the factory of the Remington
Arms Company at Ilion.
Between the time of the Burt. ma-
chine in 1829, and the Sholes ma-
chine in 1873. twenty inventors had
taken out patents on various styles
of typewriters.
First. Visible “'riters.
Many new inventors. however,
heeded the call for visible writing.
and various efforts were made to
produce a machine of this character,
most notable of which were the \‘i'il-
llama and Bar-Lock. But. it re-
mained for Franz “'agncr. in 1894.
to invents. typebar of the front-
stroke vhrlety. whichrwas developed
and later , embodied in a. machine
which machine was the first. practi-
cal, front- stroke visible \ritcr which
enabled the typist to see all of the
work all of the time i‘rom "Dear Sir"
to "Yours truly."
The following are some of the
original features. embodied in the
construction of the visible writer
which are now accepted as funda-
struction.
It introduced the first front-stroke
type-bar mechanism consisting of
only three parts, with acceleréted
typebar leverage and removable
typebars.
It was the first machine on which

nevertheless it worked and it. demo

device. At the time it was consider-
ed a novelty or luxury intended only
as a lyo for the idle rich. which
condition continued for about ten
years. Later. it was recognized as
a convenience for the progressive
business man with largo interests.
while today it is universally conced-
cd to be an absolute necessity in all
brancbcs of legal and literary pur-
suits. and cannot be denied that the
typewriter is an indispensable medi-
um ln the transaction of all lines of;
business. “
The American business man. al-
ways 'nlert and quick to appreciate
the valde of time and labor saving
methods. was prompt in'rccognizing
the practicability of the typewriter.
He soon learned that he could die-
tate to an intelligent stenographcr
in one heur more than he‘ could
write in a day with the pen and’if
be distributed his correspondence
among his employees. it was depriv-
cd of his individuality. and he be-
came responsible for the ideas of
others. The typewriter not only on-
ablcd him.to keep in closer person-
al touch with his business but it
gave him much more of his time to
devote to other important matters.
including anropportu'nity to study
and develop his business which as
a matter of murse increased his
earning capacity many fold.
Conscrvee Energy.
The typewriter conserves both
mental and physical energy. It is
responsible for 'tho marvelous suc-
cess that ‘8 crowned the efforts of
the business man for the last half-
-.century It not only gives employ-
ment to many thousands in its pro-
duction and distribution. but It also

”Love u rrss'r 8mm.

They loved each other. when they

lovely maid replied: "such
honeyed language you employ. you
cannot be denied. and it will fill my
heart with Joy. to be your blooming
bride." The yearns to me for seven
bones, to pay the pastor’s fee. for
wedding rings with plate glass
stones. and veiling fair to see. and l
exclaimed. in ringing tones. "What
fools like you mortals be! Go. court
each other for a year. and take long

a dear. let. Richard sa’ve the rocks.
This marriage graft should be ap-

hearts grow hard as paving stones
that no affection share: 1' shall not
lend you seven bones—I have no
