Prohibition in Waycross.
NEW York Evening Post.]

4sa4sf lJNeW 1OiiN EFeulllEo rO5l.J
The little town of Waycross Ca, OBJ
jects to the spirit in Which the coun-
try has received a fugitive paragraph
announcing the fact that the liquor
license for the year had there been
fixed at $4,000. There is no jo1,a "a
bout it, the local officials say, nor is
it freak legislation. For sixteen sue
cessive years the council has fixed that
enormous sum as the price for the
privilege of purveying liquor to Way
cross 5000 inhabitants. No one has
ever appeared to avail himself of the
law, but it is there for any one who
sees the chance for profit in it. To
provide for the wants of the same
number of men, women and children
in Greater New York there are twen-
ty-five saloons hotels or clubs holding
liquor tax certificates. Four police
cent of the children attend school and
nine out of ten of the white population
own their own homes. There is no
poorhouse. Even as business pro-
position the prohibitive license has
worked well, since two railroad shops
and a car factory have been located
in Waycross because the employers
found their men more trustworthy
there than in the neighboring towns.
The description reads in all details
like that of the ideal community in a
prohibition tract. If it is faithful
record of actual conditions, we fancy
it is to be explained partly on psych
ological grounds. A prohibitory law
is fair game for anybody. People
chafe under the restriction of living IN
"dry" town, drinking acquires in
the eyes of the young men the fascin-
alton of the forbidden, there is sec
ret delight at seeing the sumptuary
law evaded. But Waycross is not a
"dry" town. Its ordinances expressly
sanction the liquor traffic. The joys
of forbidden fruit are all very we'll, but
if the fruit dealers are not enterprise
ing enough to open their stalls there
is no reason for the public to be in
terested one way or the other.

South Wakinq Up.

Professor Perkins, of the agriculturs
al college of Mississippi, says that the
south is just waking up to its possi-
bilities. The introduction of legumes.
such as cowpeas and alfalfa, is doing
wonders to reclaim much of the land
that has been worn out thru poor
methods of farming. AS long as man
can shift around and farm the besS
and let the rest go, it has been pos.
sible to get along, but the time has
come now when the price of land, even
in the south, is getting so high that
owners cannot afford to neglect 1t.
Professor Perkins says that there can
be no great success in farming in the.
south until the farmers pay more at~
tention to raising livestock. They
are taking to this slowly, and as YET
the quality is poor. but the desire TO
improve is taking hold and the COM
ing decade is likely to witness great
improvement in farm methods all thru
the south.

Chinese Customs.

The Chinese have the reputation of
being still welded to the things of the.
past, and to be suspicious of every
thing that savors Of western civiliZa-
ton and progress. But that this does
not apply to all, even to all Chinese
officials, is evident from the statement
just made by missionary of the AM
erican Presbyterian board regarding
Governor Chou Flu, who was recently
promoted to the Liangkiang Niceroy
atty. Chou Flu had been in Chinanfu,
the capital of the Shantung province,
since 1902, and the progress of city
and province had been remarkable.
This model governor had been friend
ly with all foreigners; had exercised a
fostering care of the institutions he
found when placed in charge. and had
himself created a model police system,
Il hospital run according to western
methods. a mint, and other modern in
:;titutions. The people of the city are
very sorry to lose him and feel that
the, heavier responsibilities of the VIC
.aroyalty may be too great a burden for
his seventy years, for he is not man
of robust health.

Charles F. Iddings, merchant of

defense. He had attended many So

The Last English Pope.

An English pope has been one of the
fancies of fiction in 1904 but it is
more than doubtful whether it will
ever be fact again. The first and
last English pontiff was elected as long
ago as December 4, 1854. Nicholas
Breakspeare was born the son of a
laborer at Langley, near St Albans,
and lived as Adrian ". to be one of
the most powerful and assertive of the
popes. 1t was he who compelled the
emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, to hold
his stirrup, and when ne died in 1853
he was about to eXcommunicate the
emperor. 1t was Adrian ". also who
blessed and authorized. by virtue OF
the supposed papal jurisdiction over
all islands, his old sovereign, Henry
lis resolve to conquer Irerand.

Iowa Libraries are taking advantage
of the work that is being done by the
librarian of congress in sending out
pamphlets and books giving the lists
of works in the congressional library
and that are in publication anywhere
on live topics of the times. These
works are found very valuable to maxi
ing selections and also in advising pa
irons of the libraries. The congress
sional library is also doing a vast
amount of work along other lines that
is aiding the libraries Of the country.
The American Library Association
catalog, volume giving 5000 volumes
especially selected as the foundation
for new library of that size. Librar-
les all over the country use it as the
standard and are comparing their own
Libraries with it and wedding out and
adding to. This volume has been
placed in every public library in Iowa
and is found invaluable.
At the same time there Is vast
amount of government documents and
books that are being sent ont that are
absolutely worthless and it is ques-
tion with the librarians what to do
with them. With sort of instructive
feeling that it is a crime to burn a
book they are kept and cucumber the
shelves and are of no value whatever.

"My shoe is off. Whattle 1 do?
