They would regard such step as sui

Only Busy rIen Have Time,

A member of the Cleveland school
council In commencing certain uomi-
nations for the public library board,
said:
"Men who are very busy were pre-
ferred, 1t being the consensus OF opin-
ion that they would devote more time
to the work than others.
The member who said this is wo.
man, but the good sense is worthy Of
a man. 1t is worthy of man so busy
that he has time to think.
Habitual leisure is a result, not of
conditions or chance environment,
but of mans qualities and charact-
eristics,
1t is an unmlStakable symptom Of
inherent lazineSs.
The man who is not busy with af-
fairs Of his own will not get busy with
the affairs Of the public.
The handspring Of enthused energy
that is weak in the one case will be
weak in the other.
There Is a common Impress ion that
to acquire fitness for library board a
man must lead a life OF leisure. Moth
ing could be further from the truth.
The man of leisure is not fit for any
thing. Even the wide reading that
"makes a full man" is done by the
men who are busy.
The panoramic view Of the world
of books is given only to the mind
that is broad and deep, and no mind
is this that is not active and dlversl-
fed In Its activity.
In the literary end as well as in the
business end of library management
inactivity means stagnatloD, and stag
nation is decay.
The man of leisure is mere rOtting
driftwood.
Understanding, judgment, tact In
tuition, to be true and clear, must
have activity at the fountain head,
just as streams that are purest and
coolest come Of never ceasing springs
The life that is not busy is not
wholesome or healthy, mentally, NOR
ally or physically.
Idleness In itself is a disease that
causes a mans powers Of aspiration
attempt, and achievement to atrophy
and rot.

immigration figures for the fiscal
year 1903 seem likely to surpaSs those
of any preceding year except 1882.
The figures Of the bureau of immigra-
tion furnished to the bureau of statiS-
tics for its monthly publication, Com
merce and finance, show that the total
immigration into the U. S. for the
nine months ending with March, 1908,
was 494, 425, against 370,575 for the
corresponding months Of last year.
This makes it almost certain that the
total immigration into the United
States for the fiscal year which ends
sixty days hence will exceed that Of
any preceding year except 1882, In
which the total was 1892. Italy
supplied the largest number Of imml'
grants in the nine mQnths ending with
March last, the total from Italy lin

A Defense OF The Political Boss.

Under the above caption, appears an
article in the Independent, which was
written by a noted political leader Of
one Of the largest cities Of the United
States, whose name is withheld. The
author is said to be one who has sway
ed the political fortunes Of that great
city for many years.
The article is very interesting and
is worth the time 1t would take you
to read it. While it might be pre-
sumptuous for an ordinary person to
take issue with political boss, there
are many points Interestingly written
with which one might consistently
disagree. One thing Is very apparent:
That is the egotistic tone that runs
through the entire production which,
II Z could be taken away, would leave
the article as unlnteresting as flower
would be If deprived of its perfume.
Without attempting to answer any
plUpOhlblul nulOu luC ulllClC COu-
tains, few extracts will be given
with the hope that it may inspire
some to give it careful and thought
full reading.

The problem of drouth is one
that continually presents itself to the
Western Kansas farmer.
Many theories have been advanced
by the practice of which it is thought
this obstacle might be overcome. OF
these the the Campbell system of soil
culture, the system Of shallow cultiva
tion, has been favorably received.
That the system has merit is proved
by It's success. In seeming opposition
to this theory, is one offered BY M. M
Sherman of Salina, who says the best
safeguard against the drOuth is deer
blowing, He also has had better sue
> cess than neighbOFs,
These two theories may be cOnSid-
cred to represent the extremes, and
Of first thought it might seem that
one or the other of them must be
wrong. But both have been followed
by good results, and therefore, must
work In part at least upon the right
principle.
That system is best which is best
adapted to the local conditions. This
may be accepted as an axiom. Both OF
these sytems meet some condition
beneficial to the growing crop.
The prime essential In dFopthy re
gions is the collection and cOnServa-
tion of moisture. This may be affected
In several ways. Sherman says that
deep blowing converts the ground in
to a vast reservoir. The Campbell syS-
tenn attempts to conserve the moist

shallow cultivation, the theory OF

New York. Dec. 1.-The historic
Academy of Music. the largest theater

by a fire which is believed to have

threatened adjoining property. and
when the roof fell part of it struck n
saloon building adjoining, but fortu-
nately no one was hurt, although the
saloon was destroyed. The loss was
estimated at 100000.
The fire started in the scenery on
the stage of the theater. where num-
ber of men were preparing for the tes-
timonial dinner to State Senator Nc
Carren. Within half an hour after
the discovery of the fire the entire
building was roaring furnace and the
firemen were bending all their efforts
to saving the surrounding property.
