opinion that the Philippines should

He then made this startling decla-

south, but south first. He rather
Welcomed it if our new acquisitions

LIBRARY FOR SCHOOL.
New System Is Installed In Clarke
County.

VANCOUVER, Wash, Jan. 21-
County School Superintendent Milton
Prichard has new idea in regard to
the furnishing of libraries to the cOun-
try school districts, and the matter is
being pushed along toward fulfillment.
He has established what is termed the
box library SYSTEM" This county
has in all seventy-eight school dis
tricts The school superintendent has
assessed each one the sum of $50. The
county commissioners have agreed to
furnish each district with a box, each
holding ten books The school super
intendent, together with a committee
of three to be selected will invest the
$3.50 in books.
The boxes will be filled and one
turned over to each district. When a
box has been read it will be returned
to the office of the superintendent who
will furnish another. Estimating that
month will be required to complete
the reading of one set of books, it will
require over six years for the whole
In this manner the district will have
access to a large supply of fine books.
The books will be largely historical
and biographical although standard
fiction will be supplied in part. The
system is to be installed at once.

STAR OPPOSES ROOSEVELT.
St. Louis Star Now Declares Presi-

ST. LOUIS Jan. 21.-The Hanna
sentiment in Missouri and the central
west is steadily growing. The Star,
an influential afternoon paper, has
broken away from Roosevelt. whom
heretofore it had ardently champoned.
in the following editorial:
"President Roosevelt is a man who
is greatly admired for his sturdy man.
hood and true Amercanism Too
much cannot be SAID in his favor in
this respect. But there is a feeling
among the thoughtful, conservative
people of the country that he is. on
account of his impetuous nature, not
entirely safe for the position of chief
executive of the nation.
If the republican party and those
who are disinterestedly and patrioti-
cally working for it's success. become
convinced that it would be hazardous
to support Mr.. Roosevelt in the face
of the considerations just referred to-
| it may be necessary to look else
where for the standard bearer of the
party, and as this is by no means un-
likely, the party should take time by
the forelock and if not Roosevelt why
not Cannon? Why not Hanna? Or any
| other of the many superior men in the
republican party?'

way Down East" Tonioht.

Way Down East" is the one play
of recent years which possesses that
touch of nature" that makes the
whole world kim 1t is it's homely
sympathy that appeals to the higher
sensibilities; it's peaceful pictures of
comforting, glowing firesides that
touch the cookies of the heart: its
rich vistas of fields of waving corn
glistening in the warm summer sun
light that makes ones blood course
exhileratingly. In sombre contrast
are the exquisitely realistic reproduce
tons of the bleak New England win
ter scenes with the whirlng swirling
drifts of snow covering the entire
country side like unto a whitened
sepulchre. In such splendid pictorial
settings as these, it requires no deep
study to understand one of the rea-
sons at least, which went far toward
establishing Way Down East" as the
classic latter day rural play.

LEAD LIFE Of SHAME
MANY CONVENT BRED GIRLS ARE
ENTicED TO AMERICA FROM
THE FRENCH CAPITAL.
Lured to New York City and Placed
in DisorderIy Houses-Sister
Taken There by Brother.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 21.-The
hackneyed phrase. Just like novel;
may be changed to Just like shilling
shocker." to describe the terrible case
of man from Paris, Desire Brother,
by name, which is occupying the atten-
ton of the criminal courts here. 1t is
a tale of cruel wrong done to convent
bred French girls, of their being
brought from Paris to New York and
forced into practical slavery; of raid
and an escape to British Columbia, or
the kidnapping of one of the girls
from a disorderly house by a devoted
lover and of the arrest Of the suspect
ed william Just as he had made his for
tune and had $4,000 invested in VAN
couver real estate and $4,000 in the
bank.
Adele Gibault, aged 20, sister of the
accused Brother, is the star witness
in the case against the Partisan, who
is accused of procuring and half
dozen other crimes. She was brought
to New York nearly three years ago
and then to this city, where a French
man named Gibault, who desired to
save her from the life into which she
had been forced. kidnapped her from
the tenderlOn and married her.
The story told by Adele Gibault was
that she was born near Lyons, was
educated at convent and then obtain
ed employment in a printing establish
ment in Paris. Her brother Desire re-
turned after 10 years absence in Amer
lea when she was II years old. He ar
rived from the far foreign land with
money and diamonds and other indi-
cations of wealth. The girl. struggling
to earn an honest livelihood in Paris,
was dazzled by his stories of New
York He told her that he had a good
position in hotel there and that she,
with her good education and looks,
could easily obtain a fine situation.
She begged Desire to take her back to
the United States with him. He said
he would pay her passage and that she
would never regret leaving HdTlS 'IOE
New York. He asked her to get an
other girl to act as chambermaid in the
hotel and Blanche Delarge was en-
ployed by him ostensibly for that pur
pose.
\ rude awakening awaited the two
innocent French girls when New York
was reached. There Brother took
them to a disorderly house. where
they We're forced to stay. Among the
visitors to the house was a man of
wealth, who was made drunk on
champagne and then robbed. AS
result the house was raided and the
inmates fled to Vancouver. Adele
said she wished to go back to France,
but money was refused her. She said
that she saved $4,000 in one year here.
but all the money was turned over to
Brother. who was supposed to be in
vesting it for her. He pursued this
course also in the case of Blanche De-
large. On account of these state
