Not Necessarily Fatal.

Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker of the
house, has locked horns with the fac
ulty of Yale. Here is the thrust the
educators resent: "To the bright
young man who has anything in him,
the college course Is not necessarily
fatal to success. The college fellow
becomes familiar with a great many
theories from instructors who, in the
main, abound in theories and theo-
ries only. You do not know of many
Of them who could take charge of
large business, or build up one to
grand success" Speaker Cannon's
views were published in the Yale
Daily News.

A public library in Grants Pass Is
needed to give the pupils OF our pub
lie schools the incentive and oppor-
tunity FOR wider study; to teach them
the art and science OF reading for a
purpose; to give the boys and girls
with a hidden talent the chance to
discover and develop It; to give to
men and women who are worn from
treadng a narrow round, excursions
into fresh fields to give to study
clubs material for better work, and
most OF all to give wholesome em-
ployment to all classes for those idle
hours that wreck more lives than
any other cause. The same tempta-
tions exist in Grants Pass that exist
In other places. How is Grants Pass
meeting them?

"Apologists for the rich say that their

stuffed himself gluttonously with apples.
