MACK TELLS WHY
BRYAN WILL WIN
National Committee Has a United
Party and the Labor Vote to Pit
Against Republican Wealth

New York. Nov. 2-Mr. Mack said Sun
day that his claim that Bryan and Kern
win receive 333 votes in the electoral
college is based on reports received from
state chairman and from private sources
State Chairman Conners has predicted
that Bryan will receive more than 10000
plurality in the state and that Mr.. Chan
Ter will get more than 100000.
The democratic national committee
bases its belief that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected on the following four reasons:
Bryan will be elected because the de-
mocracy today presents united front
Further, the democratic party will be aug
mented by thousands of republicans dis
satisfied with the mistakes Of twelve
years Of republican administration.
This army of voters will be further
strengthened by new force in American
politics-the labor vote. Assuming there
were to be strict party lineup at cleo
ton. the labor vote itself would turn the
scales to democratic success The labor
party has put all its eggs in theIdemocratic
basket and it must win to save them.
:'Mr Bryan himself has gained wonder
full personal strength in the last few years
in all parts of the country, and thousands
Of voters who neither understood him nor
his aims, now place their absolute trust
in him and his policies.
THE democratic national committee
has brought all the elements of the party
together; it has the labor vote and its re-
markablc accesoons Of strength from the
republican ranks, together with Mr..
Bryan's strength with the masses, are the
reasons why the nation win turn to de-
mocracy."
Mr.. Mack in statement last night
again attacked the republican party for
not Immediately making their compaien
contributions public, The chairman said:
''The denial BY President Roosevelt and
the denial by Secretary Cortelyou of get
ting money from the big interests desir-
ing government fayors were more yigor-
GUS in 1904 than they are today but af-
ter the election it leaked out that the
trusts and allied intesests gave big sums
Mr.. Hartman himself raising $260,000
which he says changed $4,000 voters in
New York city alone.
Men like John D. Rockefeller and An
drew Carnegie we're not then publicly adj
vocating the ticket and putting their for
tunes at the disposal Of the republican
committee The money paid in then by
the Standard Oil trust. the steel trust.
Hartman and others is but bagatelle
compared with the millions which Rookie
feller. Carnegie and Morgan are pouring
into this campaign in the last days in
the desperate attempt to stem the resist
less tide that will carry Mr.. Bryan into
the White House.
The New York state campaign. which
has been in full swing for more than
month, is practically at an end, although
Governor Hughes will make ten speeches
in Greater New York today. Lieutenant
Governor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, his
democratic opponent, will spend today in
and around his home town Of Red Hook
in Duchess county.

TOMMY AS GOOD AS A CHART.
Nurse Had No Trouble Remembering
Time for His Medicine.

A Boston physician tells a story OF a
youngster of his W that an over
strenuous vacation had put on the sick
list. The father had an appropriate
prescription filled, and left the bottle
with the child's mother. As she, how
ever, is very forgetful, he gave her a
chart, and suggested that she set down
the hours when the medicine should
be given, checking off each dose as
taken. Upon returning from his even
ing calls, however, he found the chart
blank.
Good gracious, Mary" he exclaimed;
"surely you haven't failed to give Tom
his medicine?"
"Oh, no. 1 did not miss a single
time" his wife assured him.
How in the world did you remem-
Der it without the chart?' he asked.
She smiled.
THAT was easy. I just told Tom this
morning at what hours he was to have
1t, and half an hour before each time
he would begin hallooing that he
wouldn't take it."

MISS R CHRISTMAS
Happy Memory of a Season When She
Did Not Write One Glad
Holiday Story.

E9&NENN H, my %happiest Christmas
"a wv | did not then realize it, but
"a ES va | recall it now with a ra-
EygHS$sgElSS diant glow of delight. 1t
was my first season upon
the. stage. | was only a novice, one
day soaring upon the buoyant wings
of boundless ambition; the mex
plunged in an abysmal depth of doubt,
despair and self-depreciation. 1t was
a very tiny part that had fallen to me-.
The compensation was but sufficient
for the barest necessities. The route
bristled with all the horrors of the
one-night stands.
At midnight, huddled, miserably
worm, detected, and wretched, in the
waiting room of a country station,
listening in vain for the whistle of a
belated train, | confess to a sudden
flood of tears. What a mockery this
Christmas day had been. Even the
chimes had sounded like the tolling
of a funeral knell. The cherries dis
comforts of a cheap hotel, the unsa-
worry, slatternly served travesty upon
a Christmas dinner, the cold chill of
a shabby, musty dressing room, the
added toll of an extra matinee for a
mere handful of people, and now the
hungry wait for an accommodation
train of dingy day coaches.
That vas all Christmas had meant
to me. Iowa was blizzard swept.
Mails were delayed and tangled wires
hung useless in gathering snowdrifts.
No message of cheer, no souvenir of
remembrance, had come to any of us.
Our hollow, half-hearted exchange of
Christmas greeting had carried no
conviction. We were only strolling
y%agabonds, outside the pale of sym,
pathy, debarred from the domestic
joys of living, mere dispirited rain.
bow chasers, with success ever mock.
ingly elusive.
Blu as | recall it all now, | am sub
merged by a great wave of passion
ate, longing regret, for I know that
such a Yuletide will never come to
me again while l am upon the stage.
1t was my happiest Christmas, be-
cause the first and only one, since |
began to tread the thorny and tor.
tuous path of my profession, that |
have not been called upon to write a

The Position of the Library
i'm the Community

special individuals because Of
their special interests, it has
failed to live up to its name. \
public library is 4 library for
the public and according to
Webster the public is "all the
people collectively or in gener-
al of a particular community
Until every person in that pub
lie knows and uses the library,
it does not stand as it should in
the town. With this end in
view, an effort is made to buy
books to interest the business
man, the lawyer, the student
along scientific lines, the trav-
eler, the housekeeper and who
soeVer cares to read.
SO if a library fulfills its mis-
sion it holds a well defined
position in the community, as a
part of the educational plan
and intellectual development.
Its kind and Importance de
ponds upon the individual. 1t
is not of a relative standing, to
be compared with other institu-
tions, but is standing of utility,
and is dependent upon the
use to which it is put by the
public. LOIS SPENCER.

The man who is always complaining
that people are imposing on his good
nature is pretty sure to have a hazy

The Falls City tribune., 1908-12-18

hold a position of prime impor-
tance. They put into all the
arrangements their best efforts.
They planned not for one year,
nor two, but for all the future.
The building was made plain
but substantial. Every detail
was carefully studied with one
aim in vieW-to make the
library of the greatest good to
the greatest number.
The work of the first book
committee meant hours of hard
labor, even after using all help
attainable. That their work
was we'll done has been noted
many times by the satisfied
readers who have found Just
what We were looking for"
To these few at the time of
the opening, the library had a
large meaning, marking a def
mite step in the intellectual de
velopment of the town, but to
the community at large it was
experimental. 1t meant every
thing intellectually good to
those who had worked 70 make
It possible, but it was still not
much more than a name to
many. 1t had no standing
whatsoever for them.
After a while there came a
time when it seemed that some
aggressive measures were nee
essary to put the library where
it should be in the public mind.
Then the members of the Won
ans clubs made a house to
house canvass and told all the
town people about the institu-
ton and did their best to make
it of Importance to every one.
The results were astounding,
and in less than two months the
library began to assume its
rightful place in the community.
But for the club women it had
already been attained, for their
work had shown them the great
empty places which only good
books could fill. And since
then, for these women, the
library has been one of the in
dispensable things to the town.
The working principle of all
libraries is "The library is an
integral part of public educa-
ton" The librarian, with the
help of the teachers, set about
making this real to the pupils
in the schools. The narrow
outlook on subjects as treated
in text books has given way to
the broader outlook on the
same subjects as treated in we'll
written books and magazines.
A few hard dry facts are no
longer considered a sufficient
knowledge of a subject, for the
means of clothing those dry
bones with living flesh of the
best thought is at hand. And
for the teachers and pupils the
library takes its place.
Finishing or stopping school
is not finishing or stopping edu-
cation. Some one has called
the public library the poor
mans university. 1t is the
means by which many continue
their education even after fin
ishing the university. To these
it is an institution of higher
learning, and is used is such.
Not SO very many years ago,
little children were controlled,
made to mind, learn their "three
RS" and keep still. Nothing
was done for their pleasure in
tellectually for they We're not
supposed to have any. But in
these days of free kindergartens
and libraries, the little child
assumes a vast place in the
scheme of things. Books have
been written about and for him.

delegates were elected to the national

The other faction declined to dis

Salt Lake, April 4.-By the utter
ances Of Its leaders, the Mormon
church was today enlisted in the cam

prohibition. President Joseph Smith
in opening the seventy-eighth semi
annual conference used these words:
There is q. movement throughout
the land for local option and / hold
that every Latter Day Saint will co
operate with the movement in, order
that we may curtail this monster, in
temperance. We think and believe
that the people should be allowed to
say whether they shall have drunk

city"
Received as an Inspiration.
The church authorities spoke in this
vein. Politicians from all parts admit
that the policy Of the church will lead
to the early enactment Of a local OPP
ton law, something this state has
never had. idaho, Wyoming and 9TH
er states in which the percentage Of
Mormon voters is large, may also
feel the effect Of President Smiths
pronouncement. Coming at such q
time and place his u%tterances will be
received by faithful members Of the
church as an inspiration.
The conference will last for three
days. Fifteen thousand persons are
in attendance and Of these 5000 were
present in the tabernacle today.
