Rev. DR.. Lambert, pastor Of the

ordinance should go through by all
means. For It not to go through
would be a great shame. The ordi-
nance represents the sentiment Of all
law-abiding citizens.
NO BOXES IN EAST.
"As for the objections that boxes
in restaurants are included in the or
dinance, I claim that makes no diff
ference. If liquor is sold in restau-
rant boxes those restaurants should
be treated the same as saloons that
permit liquor to be sold in their
boxes. I see that Mayor Boyd has
written for advice of Minneapolis and
other large cities in the east. / lived
in Minneapolis for some years and
the boxes there were wiped out long
ago. The mayor will find that in all
well regulated cities the boxes are
not allowed. If Mayor Boyd takes the
advice Of these larger cities he will
sign the ordinance, and Spokane will
profit accordingly by their example"

Mr.. Brigham began his address by
reference to the ever~present problem
of books AZ illustrated by Mr.. Dooley
in the Century:
The longer the wurruld lasts. the
more books does be comm out. They's
thousands ~ happy homes somewan
is pluggin away at the romantic nov
ell or whalin' out a poem on tn type
writer UP stairs"
The first part of the address related
to the librarians opportunities for pub
lie service and the duty of constant
preparation for that service. Mr.. Brig
ham saw nothing to be gained by in
sistenee on the recognition of librar-
ianship as a profession A generous
public can be relied on to give the IL
brarian all the honor he deserves. He
cautioned librarians against over-in-
sistehce on increase in salary. Most
library boards are generous, or at least
just. Efficient service, with evident JOY
in that service, raises UP friends IN
the community, and brings its own
rewards. tending also to the readjust-
ment of salaries that are too low. AS
consolation to those who feel them
selves not we'll prepared for this SER
vice. the point was made that any pre-
vious condition of servitude brings to
the library a range of experiences which
are profitable In library work. tho per-
haps not the most profitable. The

The first paper of the morning was
read by Miss Edith Tobitt, public IL

practical Administration OF Librar-
les" Miss Tobitt's subject was EN-
penditure of Library Funds She de-
veloped her theory of the classification
of library accounts and the most inter
esting feature of her paper was the dis
cussion of the questions, How much
money should be put into books?' and
How much into maintenance of II

more than twenty five per cent of
library's income could Well be put into
books.
