AN APPEAL FOR
MANILA LIBRARY
Mrs. Kincaid Will Endeayor to In
terest HonoIulans in lncreas-
ing the Fund.

Mrs. William VI. Kincaid is about to
begin an active campaign in the, inter
ests of an American Library for Ma
Mia, the object being to provide the
American soldier in Luzon with good
books. An appeal was sent from Ma
Mia broadcast over the United States
by committee consisting OF G. c..
Bateman, Chaplain, u. S. A. Mrs. s.
o. l.. Potter and ID. NJ. Carman. Mrs.
r. c. Greenleaf Of San Francisco has
been Instrumental in organizing the
association, and is now the first direct
or Of the library, with headquarters in
Manila
What the soldiers. salons and Amer
lean citizens IN Manila need are good
books, and books bound in such a
manner as to do credit to the library
upon whose shelves they may rest.
The library committee has already
learned by experience that donations
of literature are disappointing. Poorly
printed books on poor paper and cheap
bindings quickly fall to shreds In the
humid climate of the Philippines, and
books will have to be purchased with
the greatest care. Therefore it Is the
purpose to secure the requests of
phiianthropic men and women. which
with long and generous subscription
lists will bring the whole plan TO an
early consummatlon.
Already the library has been opened
with four thousand books, some very
valuable and many very poor. but all
appreciated by the Americans In Ma
Mia. The city is meagerly supplied
with English printed books and the
literature which has been sent there
by the good-hearted people of the
mainland and Honolulu as well. has
not always been what is necessary to
lay the foundations OF a fine library
The men are eager to read the same
class OF books they were accustomed
to before entering the army for for
eign service. Il is hard to appreciate
the lack OF good reading matter in Ma
Mia unless one has actually exper-
fenced the lot of the soldier waiting
patiently for the arrival of mails from
home. The news stands have as YET
been slow to send for booas, and most
or the few that do arrive are eagerly
bought up by the healthy soldiers. and
those in the hospitals generally get
left.
The officers of the Library are Mrs.
c. r. Greenleaf, director; Mrs. +. II.
Diseum, first vice. director: Mrs.
Sherman. associate corresponding Sec
rotary; DR.. K. -. Pinkham. recording
secretary; the Hongkong & Shanghai
Banking Corporation, treasurer and
Mrs. Egbert (wiuow of Colonel Egg
bert), librarian.

boyhood on, have been subject to eX-
haustive publicity. We know when
and where they were born, what were
the conditions surrounding them in
youth aud every step Of their progress
M the ladder Of national fame.
But we may know all this and still
be unacquainted with the real men be-
hind the names. Character is abstract.
You cannot define it by dates and rec
ords We have words to describe sa-
lient features of ii, but at the best
they picture only vague generalities.
II is only the great masters of fiction
who are able to make us know a man
we have never seen and who probably
never existed. There is still another
manner of getting acquainted with
men with whom we have not the OPP
portunty of intimacy This is by in
ference. 1t is an indirect mode, and its
accuracy depends upon our own judg-
ment.
The traits OF character which are
most apparent In William Mckinley,
the Republican standard bearer, are
manliness, dignity and gentleness. You
will admit that they are good traits
They command your respect. But these
traits by no means make up the sum
Of his character. They are simply the
ones which are most prominent They
are the ones which show on the sur
face For the rest you must go much
deeper than the limits OF mere printers
ink will allow.
The candidate for reelection to the
highest office in the gift Of the people
is today a man who might well be TAX
en- as a typical American. He is rather
stout, but none too much so for his
height and age. His is not the COM
handing figure of Lincoln's. nor is 1t
lacking in inches, as was Grants. Men
who knew Stephen A. Douglas say
that Mr.. Mckinley resembles him very
much.
Mr. Mckinley looks practically no
older now than he did when he was
nominated for the first time. -Four
years of presidential responsibility
may have thnned somewhat the hair
on his forehead and touched it with
white on the temples, but the lines
about the mouth and eyes seem 10
deeper. In spite Of an eventful admin
istration il is probable that the gain
Of self confidence and mental poise has
more than made up for the strain of
hard work and the anxiety about ex-
ternal things.
Men who finally reach a successful
period i'm their lives seem to age very
slowly 1t appears to be this way with
Mr.. Mckinley. Some of his friends
even insist that he has grown younger
during his four years i'm the White
House. At any rate, he does not look
all of his - years.
Yet the Mckinley who Is now presi-
dent and presidential candidate is by
no means the same Mckinley who
made the campaign In 1896. No man
can occupy for four years a position at
the head Of great nation without be-

in the White House for few moments
with her. He has been known to do
this dozen times in q day.
For Mrs. McKinley's sake White
House etiquette has been radically
altered. In other administrations it
has been customary for the president
to sit at one end of the table at state
dinners and the lady of the executive
mansion at the other. But Mrs. Nc
Kinley has always been given the seat
Of honor at the right of her husband,
where he could hear her slightest wish.
When great affairs of tho nation were
at stake. he has always given her the
most cheerful and optimistic view pos
sible. When they travel together, she
is shielded in many ways by his con-
slant care
This gentleness is even extended to
others. There are many who can testi-
fy to 1t. His custom of giving flowers
to casual callers is an instance of this.
The pink carnatlon is President Nc
Kinley's favorite flower. He is seldom
seen without one in his buttonhole, and
when he is In the White House there is
always a big bunch of them put in a
vase on his desk. Sometimes the vase
is replenished several times during the
day. He gives them away, not reck-
lessly, but with discretion. He seems
to know just where they will be appre-
ciated.
A case in point is an incident which
occurred early in his administration,
when representatives of several labor
organizations called upon him to ask
favor. The request was one which he
could not grant, but after he had ex-
pressed his regret he took the carna-
ton from his buttonhole and pinned ii
upon the lapel of one of the leaders.
Then he distributed the contents of the
vase among the rest. with the remark:
"Please give these to your wives or
sweethearts, with my compliments"
Many disappointed office seeker
has gone away from the White House
with a carnation in his buttonhole,
which he priced almost as much as he
would have valued the appointment he

messed during the last years Of her life,
was no less tender.
An instance of this is the fact that
every "a hours during those closing
years the president son communicated
N some way with his mother. While
he lived in Canton his daily call on her
was a part of the routine of his life.
After he became president he did not
allow the days TO become so crowded
with affairs that there was no time
left for his message to mother" So
every day there was sent to the dear
old lady in Canton White House en-
velope containing some word from
my William at Washington, as she
always spoke of him.

Mckinley seems to have gained dig

in some degree before but now, as has
been said, they are distinctive traits.
They always bespeak the ripened char

the plot she refused to accept the prize
money and her protests gave the pro-i
moter OF the contest q pointer on the
scheme by which he was defrauded.
He threatened arrest and secured the
return of the money. It Is surprising
to see the dishonesty that Is practicedH
for very meager returns. The desire to
get something for nothing has become
so all-consuming that people who real!
sly have no intention OF stealing
are willing to resort to very ques-3
stionable practices to accomplish their
ambition. 1t is as Impossible to un-
iderstand this phase OF human nature
as 1t is to comprehend the willingness
of some people who pose as respectable
elements of society to engage in 1t. In

that missionaries can find steady en-
ployment and achieve better results
with less hazard than can be accom-
plished among the benighted and often
times violent natives OF the uttermost
ends of the earth.
