1t is difficult task to develop the
reading habit in child unless he
or she has access to a varied assert
ment Of wholesome and interesting
books, A we'll selected library is
therefore much needed adjunct in
every public school. There are some
children who have a natural craving
fer books, just as they do for food,
and it is just as important that they
be provided with the right kind of
reading matter as it is that they be
given the right kind of food. With
the majority of school children,
however, reading is an acquired
habit, and until they have acquired
it they will not make much of an eff
fort to secure books. If books are
&c hand they will pick them up and
read them, when they would not

For this reason the editor heartily
faVors the plan which is being alvo-
Gated by Mr. Dumas of putting a
library in each of the grade school
buildings of Pullman. as we'll as en-
larging the library at the high
school. If but one part of the pro-
Ject can be carried out, then put the
Libraries in the grade schools. where
the younger pupils can secure the
books readily, for it is in the lower
grades that the reading habit is
formed. Many pupils in the Franklin
and Edison buildings would take
books home to read if they could Sc
cure them in the school which they
attend, who would not go to the high
school to get them.
All citizens who are interested in
the welfare of the schools should
give their hearty support to this pro-
Ject, the purpose and result of which
will be to foster and stimulate the
reading habit among the children OF
Pullman and to place in their hands
tie very best class of carefully Sc.
lected books.

BUY SOME BULLETS

Every Red Cross Christmas seal
which is purchased is a bullet fired
in the war against tuberculosis. No
one makes a penny from the sale of
these seals, 1t is a work of patriot
ism and charity. The proceeds are
used to help provide hospitals, day
camps and nurses for the care of
those afflicted with tuberculosis and
to educate the public as to the treat
ment and prevention of the disease.
A seal costs only penny, but last
years sales aggregated $33O,000.
This money gave thousands of poor
men, women and children a chance
for life. 1t provided free treatment
and advice for needy patients in
scores of cities. 1t helped maintain
over rs open-air schools for children

SCHOOL LIBRARIES

One of the most important func-
tons of the public schools is to Gre
ate and foster the reading habit
among the pupils. The earlier this
habit is acquired the better it is for
. child, for it supplies a method of
spending time profitably which
might otherwise be worse than vast
ed. Children's bodies and brains
are active and demand constant en-
ployment. If boys and girls are not
doing one thing they are doing
something else. They require COM
partnership and go on the theory
that any kind of company is better
than none. For this reason it is OF
great Importance that they should
learn when young that they can FIND

DON'T COMNfERCIAILZE XMAS

A commercialized chris t N S
would be a sad day utterly lacking
in 10y and merriment, anticipated
with dread and remembered with
sorrow
New Years, Memorial day, the
Fourth of July. Thanksgiving and
Christine as are our national holidays
and each of them should be observed
in a different spirit, New Years is
the season of good wishes and good
resolutions. Memorial day is the oc-
casion for sad and glorious mem
cries. Enthusiasm and patriotism
are the sentiments inspired by the
Fourth of July Thanksgiving, as
its name implies. is the time for
quiet thankfulness. Christmas is
the day for merriment and giving.
OF all these holidays Christmas is
the one most generally anticipated
and enjoyed, because it is peculiarly
are the creators of merriment and it
follows that in order to have a really
Merry Christmas" one must do
som ething to bring happiness to at
least one child To play the part of
Santa Claus for poor children, to
bring a little JOY and sunshine into
lives darkened by poverty, mis-
fortune or sorrow, is the most
blessed privilege of the Christmas
season.
The giving, not the exchange. of
gifts is an appropriate part of the
observation of Christmas. The CIV
ing of presents with no other motive
than to balance the account for pres
ents received is burden, not a
pleasure. The value of Christmas
gifts can not be measured by price
marks, but by the sentiment which
inspires the givers. A little card
bearing a message of love and re-
membrance straight from one heart
TO another is infinitely more precious
than costly present sent out of q
sense of duty.
Christmas must not be CONNER
cialized, and the men and womer
who try to do it need not hope t,
share in the JOY of the anniversary o
the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem
Who came to earth with gifts of hop,
and peace and good will for all tn,
human race.

of the ore properties leased by the
corporation from J. ]. Hill.
He was asked about his estimate OF
s105,000,000 on the value of the ore
holdings of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company. That valuation, hgur ed
at ID cents ton, he SAID, was also
based on the terms of the Hill lease.
Mr.. Munsey at first declined to dis
close the identity Of a director OF the
steel corporation quoted in his article
as saying that he would not sell the
ore properties acquired under the Hill
lease for $500, 100000 Later he reluct-
antly gave as the name George r. Ba-
ker. still a director Of the corporation.

Mr.. Shewan is said TO have told the
committee that he really needed tho
dock I'm New York 70 handle the bust
ness of the firm there and seemed TO
think there was no indication OF suf-
1cient business IN Pensacola TO leave
1t here and establish a branch bust
ness. He estimates the cost OF towing
the dock from Pensacola TO New York
at $4,000 and believes it can be moved
thee Cor this amount without trouble.
This company already operates SIX
larze dry docks in New York and IL
is the intention TO increase the bust
ness as soon as the Pensacola dock IN
installed there.
Secretary Henderson said Yesterday
afternoon that he did not believe Pen
sacoia would lose anything In the long
run by the dock being removed, as
people who know something OF ship
building and dry docks are OF the
opin' on that the dock will not last
more than four or five years longer.
He also believes that within the next
few years another dock will have TO
be T'It into operation IN Pensacola
and that a better one will be secured
! then.

Washington, March 20.-Rumors
concerning the Mexican situation, COW
ering every possible phase OF activity
on the part of the American govern
ment from actual Intervention and as
semblage Of great military forces on
the border, surged through official
Washington today. All the alarrnist
stories appeared to have had their in
ception at points where naturally there
would be little information Of the plans
of the two governments.
President Taft does not believe there
is ground for intervention, and haS not
changed his belief as the result of re-
cent battles in Mexico. Officials were
busy today denying stories or temper
ing them with additional facts which
deprived them OF the sensational fea-
lures Ambassador Wilson has not
asked for an embassy guard and 1t
will not be sent otherwise.
The only action on the part of the
government that might he regarded in
any way connected with the Mexican
situation was to dispatch a thousand
rifles from New York to arm the
American colony in Mexico City. The
understanding is they are to eJct as a
police force and to take no sides in the
affair, but only to protect themselves
from possible trouble with the lawless
element that might be anti-foreign in
Details for the arming of American
citizens in the Mexican capital were
given out some time ago and now they
are to be executed.
The Americans expressed their fears
to President Madero and 1t is said he
agreed. admitting that in the event of
an outbreak of a rough element in the
capital all foreigners should be prop
erly armed to resist attack against
their lives and property.
II government troops are sent out
from Mexico City 1t Is feared gangs OF
.roughs would not hesitate to take adj
vantage of the situation.

Washington, March ga bill 70
abolish the United States commerce
court was favorably reported to the
house today by Representative Sims,
for the majority OF the interstate and
foreign commerce committee. A mi
nority report, opposing the contention
that the commerce court is useless AMI
expensive, probably will be submitted
in a few days. This, II is said, will be
signed by all the Republican members
Of the committee.
The measure practically would re-
store matters to the status existing be-
fore the passage Of the commerce court
act In June, 1910. 1t would send the
judges now presiding in the commerce
court to their respective judicial cir
cults and have appeals from the inter
state commerce commission decided by
the district courts. The law would be
changed, however, so as to authorize
the courts to grant temporary injunc-
tions restraining the operation Of the
commissions orders only In case
