THE HISTORICAL. LIBRARY.

OF all the parts of the University
shown to DR.. Albert Bushnell Hart.
when he was here last Saturday. he
picked for special praise the Missouri
Historical Library. That is rare
collection" he said. 1T is filled with
documents the value of which cannot
be estimated. No such collection
could ever be got together again by
any amount of money or effort As
a historian. he knew its real value.
Yet this highly important part OF
the University's equipment is one of
the most poorly housed branches
Time and again hooks and corners in
the basement of Academic Hall have
been thinly partitioned off and docu-
ments placed therein. the value of
which. as DR.. Hart said. cannot be
estimated"
II is the irony of fate that the glory
should be the least appreciated. Or
perhaps it is our nearness to it that
makes us underestimate its value.
Either way. the tendency here has
been to wait for an outsider to praise
a thing before We begin TO look into
its real greatness Well. here an
outsider, who is an authority. has
come and praised

; Monopoly means happiness for tn,
monopolist: no competition. no fight
Such. most of us reason. must be q
pleasant state of being for the busi
ness man. But the monopoIist has
a different story.
j. A. Hudson is a monopolist. the
owner of COlumbias one telephont
system. 1t was gloomy afternoon
but the fire in the open CRATE in an
upper room of the Telephone Build
ing on South Ninth street burned
cheerfully. Mr.. Hudson put one hand
to the edge Of his desk and turned
his revolving chair around to face
a table in the center of the room.
Monopoly makes slave of a
man. he said. 1T no doubt has
pleasant features. but it has many
unpleasant. The public. has a
prejudice against monopOlies. Tn
reasonable complaints come in. COM

on every hand. Under competition
the person complaining unrcasOnably
can be told to seek service elsewhere.
The monopolist has no such refuge.
| have never Yet told man he did
not need to use the telephones ii he

life of a mOnopolst is a continual

Mr. Hudson tilted back his office

brighter. Ii was raining outside.

BANANAS IN MENICO.

The demand in the United States
for the banana as an article of food
has grown to enormous proportions.
In 1870 the amount of this fruit i'm
ported was goo punches; in 1910 the
importationS of the banana reached
IL million dollars. This rapid rise
in the demand for the banana has
attracted the attention of number
of Americans TO its culture for profit.
profitable growing and handling of
the fruit is the lack OF transportation
facilities in the regions favorable for
its production. Certain climatic con-
ditions are necessary TO grow BAN
anas. but il is also necessary. if there
is any profit TO come from handling
them to get them quickly into the
market before they spoil.
One region in America where BAN
anas grow we'll and from which fa-
cilitieS for transportation are good.
is in the lOwlandS of southern NeNi-
go. known as the ''hotlandS". From
here the fruit may be readily carried
to the southern Mexican gulf ports
and thence across the Gulf of Mexico
To the markets of the United States.
Taking everything into conSidera-
tion. the district with abundant rain
fall and tropical climate south of
Vera Cruz and reaching into the
lsthmus of Tehuantepec is one OF the
most favorable regions in the world
for the cultivation of the banana. For
this reason. Americans are already
taking up in this region thousands of
acres of land 10 be devoted TO grow
Ing bananas for American consump-
tion.

BIDS WIFE AND LITTLE SON
FAREWELL, THEN KILLS SELF
Butcher George Holly Worried
Over Liens Being Placed
On New Building

Brooding over the fact -that-the
building contractors from whom he
was purchasing his home and store on
weekly payments had placed liens on
the building, George Holly. 43 years
old, butcher at No. 955 Piquette-aye.
committed suicide early Thursday
morning.
Holly babe his wife an affectionate
farewell, at o'clock, and then, clasp
ing his young son In his arms, told
the lad to always be a good little boy.
Then he left the house, and when his
wife learned, an hour later, that he
had not opened the butcher shop, she
realized the meaning OF her husbands
actions, and started a search for him.
Holly WAS found dead in the barn,
with a strong odor OF carbolic acid
emanating from his body, though there
was no trace of the acid on his lips,
and no bottle was found.
Coroner Rothacher has ordered a
post-mortem examination OF the body.
Holly came here from Chicago last
June, and shortly afterward erected
the twostory store and dwelling, for
which he was paying In weekly install
ments. When he learned that there
were liens of $4,000 on the building,
for lumber and supplies, 1t worried
him greatly. and he had brooded over
the matter since, his wife said
Coroner Rethaeher was told by the
widow that Holly had practically been
forced TO pay twice for the house, and
was probably mentally unbalanced by
the deal.
