"He is always awaiting the fall OF

Taft. He can never see the bright

wheat crop had never been so fine and

Nets for Bridge Workers.

The acrobatic feats performed by
structural ironworkers are brought
INTO closer relation with those of the
circus by the adoption OF the safety
net OF the latter In the erection Of
,antilever bridges built out from each
shore and meeting in the center. In
this method OF construction the net
does not interfere with the handling Of
materials. and In recent instance
was the meal Of saving no less than
six lives in the building of one bridge.

In a speech made Mt the opening
of Il new Carnegie library in Lon

necessarily mean book wnowl-
edge. Book knowledge is only a
part of the knowledge that consti-
tutcs power. Books are excellent
things; it would te nigh treason to
decay that, coming here to open Il

is just as bad as Il surfeit of any.
thing else, and there are "A great
many excellent people in this world
who slcnd all their days in read
ing ana who are OF no use to them
selves or to anybody else.
The fact i. that an appetite for
reading without digestlng is as un.
wholesome as any other form of
glnttony. The man of vigorous
life among men would beat tn.
man OF books always and at every
thing in this world. Libraries,
however, give them the tools with
which they can work out their own
salvation.

mrnse industry, was perhaps the
only nan ] have ever known who
was allie to adjust the balance he.
tween his life Of study and his life
Of action satisfactorily to himself
and to others.
But books can also be an end in
themselves. The man with a happy
taste for books can come in, tired
and soured though he may be. and
fall into the arms of some great
author who would raise him from
the ground and take him into "A
new heaven and a new earth. where
he would forget his bruises and
rest his limbs and return to the

No limitation of means can in
these days excuse anybody from
not buying books. and we must dis
tingnish between books to be read
and bOoks to he bought. There
r two further classes Of books
the books that are borrowed
from friends and returned and the
books that are borrowed and not
returned. The non-rcturning of
books has ended more friend

The Why OF Socialism.

SOCIALISM is a doctrine born of

pists to liberate the people from Inc
tolerable conditions in the Cities"
says Tom Watson, in his Maya.
zine.
"The doctrine has no consider.
able foothold anywhere outside Of
the cities. Its arguments are
based upon city conditions. In
our rural communities il makes
no headway, simply because con.
ditions which encourage it In the
cities do not exist in the country.
"If the overcrowding in the
cities could be counteracted, If the
surplus population could be in
duced to scatter out and go to
work, building up the waste places
in rural communities, responding
to the earnest demand for laborers
in the less populous portions of the
Union, creating homes and farms
