What Public Libraries Are Doing.

From the Columbus Dispatch.
The whole influence of the public
libraries will probably never be
known, but that they are doing much
to supplement the work of the public
schools is evident A significant re-
port is that of the libraries of Brook
Ign, where 100000 volumes were cir
culated last year, the branches serv-
ing the largest proportion of immi-
grants showing the largest use. The
newcomers are reading English and
American books and they are reading
books in their own tongues, of which
the libraries have fair and growing
stock. Better still. they are reading,
not so many novels as books OF SER
ious import-books that teach them
of the country to which
they have come and shed some light
on the practical side of life. This is,
of course, partly due to the efforts
that all modern librarians are max
ing to put the treasures that are
within into the hands of those whom
they may help. A library is no long
err something to be looked at and adj
mired, but something to be used,
something to sharpen the wits and
broaden the knowledge and increase
the efficiency of those who read. And
the man for whom the library is do
ing all this is being helped both neg
atively and positively Exactly how
much he is being helped and just when
and where the benefit will appear not
even he may know. but that the ag
gregate of helpfulness is great is I'M
deniable. 1t is adding to the educa-
ton that is making both the Ameri
can-born and the newcomer Il better
man and citizen.

One marriage in every ten in Amer
:ca ends in the divorce court.
Why:
One reason is this: The average cou-
pie are unwilling TO begin married life
where the parents began. With simple.
uries later on.
The men and women who made this
country what 1t is were content TO be-
gin married life modeStly. They work
ed and sacrificed together and saved
and grew into prosperity slowly.
Nowadays that will not do.
The average girl wants to be sup
ported in comparative attiuence. a lux
ury which the average mans salary
will not afford. The expense of such
living is out of all proportion to the
comfort. and there are dissatisfaction.
disagreement. divorce.
The marriage has been entered into
without expectation Of serious sacri-
fee.
The foreigners who come to US have
better conception of marriage re-
sponsibility. Man and wife work to-
gether. economize and thrive. They
build homes and pay for them.
The increased cost Of living of late
years undoubtedly is a factor 1t causes
much marital unhappiness. 1t also
discourages young people and prevents
marriage.
Fashion also.
The average American girls love Of
costly and fashionable attire enters in.
The husbands modest income will not
permit expensive gowns. Too often his
life is made a burden because Of his
slender purse. There are reproaches.
Quarrels and finally-divorce.
Here are some sad. blunt. true words:
There are women who will defy
health to make an inch smaller waist.
who will work their husbands to the
limit for costly hnery. who will starve
their children and drive their men to
robbery for the sake of fashion.
II you do not believe ii read your
newspapers.
Worse than that. The Chicago Juve-
nile Protective association says dress
causes the downfall Of the majority of
girls who go astray.
Now
In the light of these reasonS-and
there are OtherS-iS it not wonderful!
that niue-tenths Of the marriag es are

If YOU so into marriage go into 1t
with your eyes open. Be modest i'll
beginning. Live within your income.
Ape neither the vulgar rich nor the
silly poor. Make sacrifices. Establish

Marriage is not necessarily failure.

MIR. TAFT ON THE PHILIPPINES.

1t is public service to draw Mr..
Taft out on the Philippine question
He knows it from A to Z--better than
any other American statesman. He
has been on the ground in commits
sion He directed the initial steps of
American civil rule in the islands.
and. later, as secretary of war, kept
in close touch with the situation after
he returned home. He has grown up
with the country. so to say, as Ameri-
can territory, and speaks from the
fullest Information.
There have been three sides 10 the
Philippine problem. The anti-imper-
ialists soon made themselves heard.
Not all were sentimentalists theoriz-
ing about liberty. Some We're politi-
clans playing a game, and willing to
berate their own country before the
world for party advantage. Oppres-

perience played into the hands of the

islands seemed by comparison rough
and unladylike While not numerous
such men helped TO color sentiment
adverse TO American rule. That they
We're offending against their own uni

they did not care
But the strong and controlling force
has been composed of both soldiers
and civilians looking the situation
squarely in the face and taking up

protest or apology. Mr.. Taft speaks
for them. and in a tone commanding
the highest respect They have not

Meat Eaters,

From the Jersey City Journal.
The vegetarians are making hay
while the clouds raised by high prices
are thickest. They assure us that the
prohibitive cost of meat is a blessing
in disguise in that it will drive the
American people to a diet of grains,
vegetables and fruits and that the
change will make them healthier, rich
er and happier Whether an exclusive
vegetable diet is the ideal thing for
man may be left to the scientists and
faddists to settle. or for each individ-
ual to decide for HIMSELF but there
is no doubt that most persons eat
more meat than is good for them. A
little enforced abstinence would bene
fit almost everybody. DR.. Wiley says
the doctors Of the future will be diet
icians. and. for that matter. many of
the most successful physicians Of the
diet than to drugs. In very numerous
ailments only a radical change in diet
effects a cure. And the first thing
the doctors prescribe, as rule. is
meat. Men who use their muscles in
heavy outdoor work in this climate
are perhaps stronger, for eating meat
but even in their case moderation is
Important No one should eat meat at
every meal. and not too generously at
any meal The conventional course
dinner with its three or four kinds of
seasoned meats, kills more men than
the railroads.

MERELY A COINCIDENCE.

When CLAWS made the charges
which appeared in the newspapers last
summer in which Secretary Ballinger
was connected with to say the least
a favorable attitude toward the Gun
nlngham claims there appeared in all
the newspapers dispatches from west
ern points showing the interest which
Mr.. r. Achilles Ballinger was really
taking in conservation movements. In
the testimony of Mr. CLAWS it is dis
closed that these stories bearing a
western dateline were inspired news.
Which is another way of saying that
the news came from the nod of Mr..
Ballinger himself.
lnasmuch as there has been some
little criticism of Mr.. Pinchot and his
department for sending out stories
(Which is the crime of Mr.. Glavis) this
is particularly interesting. Aud by
the way, if these stories had rebound
ed to the glory and everlasting credit
OF the department of the interior
would there be any Ballinger episode?
Would not Mr.. CLAWS and Mr. Pinchot
still be in the service? Would not
the activity of the publicity depart
ment Of the forest service be equal in
the good graces of the secretary of
the interior-even to his own?

tie the east. He might have warned
the east. too. against trying TO hustle
the west. The one thing is as impos-
sible as the other. Those Filipino
leaders who break out occasionally
with demand for the immediate

public have as mistaken an idea OF

A Slight Mistake.

An engagement between a handsome
young Philadelphia woman and an i'm
pecunious young man about town was
suspended several weeks recently be-
cause Of a slight mistake by a boy in
the florist shop where the young man
was in the habit of buying blooms for
his prospective bride. Being in a hur-
~ one morning. the young man hasti-
ly penciled two cards to the florist.
One was a brief compliment to his
sweetheart TO go with the flowers. and
the other Was directed to the florist.

The mistake occurred when this card
was attached to the fowers.-Philadel.

The Newer Education.
rom the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The relation OF the larger uuiversit-
les of the United States to the prac-
teal problems of existence is being
emphasized in an astonishing degree
nowadays. II the notion of clustered
halls where pale-faced students pored
over musty tones once held sway,
that idea has entirely disappeared.
The dominant thought appears to be,
how can the training OF the schools
be made most useful in lettering the
conditions of human life.

The VincenneS Commercial in an
editorial article on Senator Beveridge
has the following to say:
Senator Beveridge has steadily
advocated a tariff commission
whose scope should be broad and
comprehensive enough to handle
the tariff schedules with the least
pickering and quarreling; in
concise, businesslike way. This
commission or board meets with
the approval of the business in
terests of the country and is in
direct harmony with the views of
the president. Senator Beveridge
Is working in perfect harmony
with the president on this meas
ure. as we'll as his Alaskan bill,
therefore there is little room to
class Senator Beverage (even by
the demOcratS) as an obstruction
list bent upon causing trouble and
delaying legislation. We sincere
ly hope the business interests of
the country will see this present
congress making an effort to so
Il
lift out of the dirt of politics the
question of tariff schedules for
ever and forever
Where did the tariff commission
idea come from? 1t is we'll to remen,-
Der that this idea was advanced and
developed in the Beveridge- Bryan de.
bates by the senior senator. From
thence it has been yariously enunciat.
ed and upheld by very many men from
Senator Lafollette to President Taft.
But credit has always been given to
Mr.. Beveridge for the conspicuous
part that he has played in it's career.
The last echo of the idea was in the
presidents message in which he plac-
ed broad construction on the rem
nants of Senator Beveridge's measure
after the Rhode Island group of sell
ators had cut it to ribbons. 1t is very
probable that the president, had he
been sitting on the bench would not
have thought the remnants of the
measure as satisfactory as he does in
the message. At any rate what he
reads into the present form of the
law can as easily be read out by any
succeeding president. 1t is therefore
TO be hoped that the tariff commits
sion idea of Mr. Reyeridse win he q,
acted into law in full form in separ.
ate measure in which it cannot be
knitted and emasculated as it was in
the conference comnaittee when it was
incorporated in the tariff law.
