The library funds for the purchase of
books and for salaries al the staff come

received from the incidental fee varies
with the enrolment The larger the
enrolment the larger the sum. This
is the fund which has often been di

Fear Expressed that Company
Wants Franchise to Sell.
Not to Use.

What will he the outcome of the pro-
posed interurban railway that has been
seeking Il franchise from the city coun-
ell of Columbia! Are the promoters
sincere i'm their motives. or is their OBJ
lcct merely to get franchise. which
would be sold at Il large profit: These
questions are in the minds of Columbia
citizens rc"ardin" the North Missouri
Central Railway company. which pro-
poses to run road connecting Mexico.
jefferson City and Columbia
One councilman said: 1T seems IA
ii there is no actual ba, king To the
company. 1t looks as if it is trying t"
get Il franchise to sell rather than To
Use. Ii there WAS somcthin" to show
for the company'> stock, a> invested

ing is more or less general among th,
business men and others. Several

ter il consideration of the matter. have
asked that their names be taken from

An attorney who has looked over the
franchise and investigated for some of
the property owners. said: Il do not
understand why the company wants to
bring the franchise under section jS5J
of the Revised Statutes of Missouri.

Business men i'm MEXICO took up the

Setting Other People Right

Occasionally you may set person
right, but be sure you know the person
and don't get reputation for that sort
of thing. People like to be right, and
get right, but not set right, at least in
a too direct way. Of course we are con-
cerned here with polite society You
arc expected to set people right in poll
tics, business and other ilnpolite circles,
and set hard. The way some contrac-
COrs talk to their employees who dig
sewers for them is, to say the least, i'm
polite, and the compliments passed and
repassed between irate rulers and the
houses Of representatives far from pretty
but in these spheres it is considered not
bad form to set folks right. Not so in
the charmed circle of polite society.
Here correction must he so inferential
that it will not hit for several days,
and then feel like Il cotton bat Never
by any means correct Il pronunciation,
for you will likely never make peace
with the outraged party. Nothing less
intricate than u Chinese character may
be disputed. Nobody is annoyed ut that.
We once knew Il truly good minister,
who hada country charge, where the
people We're fairly well educated. though
they did not always express themselves
