WHY NOT A CITY LIBRARYl

Outside the public schools, there il
nothing more essential to the educa.
tional advancement Of q community
than a public library. Everybody
realizes this. 1t is shown by the
many libraries established in the
cities, in almost every town and school
district.
Columbia has a small library MAIN
tanned by the Daughters of the Amer
icaR Revolution. 1t also has access
to the library of the University. Is
this enough? Most certainly" you
would say upon first thought But
upon investigation you will find that
the books and literature in the Uni
versityl library are little used by
those outside the University. In fact
if the library were used to any great
extent by those not in the University,
it would be inadequate for the use of
the students.
High school and common school
students need to know the use of
books. They should learn how to
supplement their school work by out
side reading. Such training is of in
estimable value when the boy or girl
enters college. A wide acquaintance
with books. in truth, creates a desire
for greater learning.
. The Daughters of the American
Revolution have seen the need of a
public library in Columbia. They
have supplied that need as best they
can, which fact is a tribute to their
interest in the city's welfare. The
literary and scientific clubs of the
city appreciate the value of books.
Every organization for the good of
the community can make use of up-to-
date literature. Every person seeks
Information and is glad when he can
find answers to the questions which
arise in his mind.
A distinct building for the use of
the reading public would be another
tribute to Columbia's civic advance
ment.

THE UNIVERSITY BAND.

Excellence in the University Cadet
Rand has been the rule for so many
years that the students are apt to
fail to appreciate the work done by
that organization.
At mass meetings, at athletic con-
tests, at almost every sort of a pro-
gram with which the University is
connected, the band is an almost In
dispensable adjunct. Its members
have been equally ready to fill the
program at assembly or to lead a
"night-shirt parade"
The cadet band is one of the big
gest assets the University has.

BREAKING PRECEDENTS.

Many a time you have hesitated
and even declined to do a thing be-
cause you hated to break a precedent.
But did you ever think that it is
through breaking precedents that hu-
manity has come out of its original ig-
norance? II man had always been
afraid of breaking precedents he
would still have the OK cart instead
of the steam engine or automobile,
still have pony express or human
messenger instead of the telegraph,
still be back where he was several
hundred years ago. Being afraid to
break a precedent is what made the
great Chinese empire so far behind
modern civilization.
Strict adherence to a precedent is
fanatical. 1t is the chief drawback
of the world. 1t is the plea Of all
selfishness and ignorance against en-
lightenment. There are too many
people who want to see nothing ex-
cept the things that their grand
fathers saw. Samantha Allen said
that some people were So terribly
conservative that il you were to offer
them a chance to see the other side
of the moon they would decline on
the ground that their grandfather got
along without seeing it.

BOARD.AT 1925 A DAY
An Intimate Chat With the Proprietor of a
Very Expensive Lodging House in
Columbia.
Columbia.

Il run the most expensive boardin,
house in town."
G. H. Ashlaw. the Columbia city
jailer, Judge" as his friends and his
"boarders" call him, was talking to a
reporter. 's
81 have been a farmer, a grocer
have run a livery stable, a hotel and
almost everything else, and now here
! am running first-class boarding
house and academy. We charge our
boarders 1925 for a nights lodging,
supper and breakfast. Sometimes we
charge them $13.2s and sometimes
even $25 and costs. :.
II hire a cook. I feed them roast
beef. beans. potatoes. baked apples
and on Thanksgiving and Christmas
and legal holidays 1 give them a lit
tie extra feed. i give them good home
cooking-old fashioned cooking-and
It's good enough for anyone, good
enough for Taft. 1 don't believe in
locking a fellow up and then not
feeding him we'll.
"Ive got eight in here now. l can
accommodate as high as forty or fifty.
Sometimes when We have a celebra-
ton. l have full house. During the
last summer. though, 1 had hardly
any boarders in here and wasn't max
ing anything, So made kick to the
Council and got a salary. Fifteen dol
lars month, that's some salary, amt
it?
Il have them work on the street
and keep it clean. As soon as it
stops raining I'll take them out and
put 'em to work. Got to give them
some exercise SO they'll have an ap-
petite for that dinner that 1 give 'em.
Il run an academy. too. Some come
for the short course, and some stay
longer. Some of them get expelled
and some graduate to higher insti-
tuition, where they can teach 'em
more and care for 'em BETTER" he con-
tinued, pointing to the county Jail. e.
What do l teach 'em? Well II
teach music. Sure, we have lots of
music in here sometimes. We have
the banjo. guitar and French harp,
and then they sing. Last week we
had five negroes in here that could
sing as fine as any vaudeville actors

Just like this. Oh, we have some
music here.
"I've only been here about a year.
Old Uncle Nike Tyson was here be-
fore me, but he's dead. l guess I'll
be here as long as 1 can get enough
boarders."
Just then one of the waters" came
in to take a broom back to a boarder
who was going to sweep out the place.
The reporter was curious to see what
the boarding house" looked like
Judge" Ashlaw pulled big key out
Of his pocket and unlocked the iron
door. Inside was row of cages
they looked like animal cages at a
zoo-a big stove and not much else.
A long. lean negro was sitting on
bench, near the door. He was bare
footed.
This" said the jailer. "is my friend
Lanky from New York. He came to
Columbia to spend his money"
'Lanky" didn't seem to appreciate
the joke or to feel happy over the
use to which he had put his money.
He didn't even offer a recommenda-
tion for the boarding house.
The top Of the six or eight cages
was covered with tin cans and soiled
dishes and tobacco cans. Coats and
shoes were lying around. These
boarders do not dress for dinner. The
place was dark and close, the walls
with concrete and trimmed
in iron. The iron window screens
would not keep flies out, but they
were designed to keep the boarders in
There's another room just like this
one back there" volunteered our
friend the jailer. The reporter need
ed air. SO he didn't go back to the !
other room. .-,''- 'at
"How would you like to be one of
my boarders?" The reporter declined
the honor.

GOOD ROADS.

In the October Worlds Work, Logar
Waller Page, director of the Office o.
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, tells of the pro-
fits Of good roads. The fact that the
nation is thoroughly aroused over
good roads is shown by the introduc.
ton of eighty-three bills and resolu-
tions concerning road improvement
in the last session of congress. But,
according to Mr.. Page, national aid
is not the solution of the road prob
lem.
There are in the United States
2,25O,00O miles of roads. To recon-
struct this vast mileage would re-
quire the sum of s22. 500 ,00O. 900. and
to maintain the roads after construc-
tion, SLIPS. 100000 yearly. 4 ....
Mr.. Page declares the first thing
needed is to reform and modernize
our present state, township and coun-
ty system. He asserts that experience
has shown that money spent under
state auspices had produced far bet
ter results and that roads have been
much better maintained than under
the county and township system. The
state work, however. he admits, has
been much hampered by politics. But
the worst interference has been in
the county and townships where 140.
600 appointments are made every year
or two without knowledge and with
out experience.
The hope of the country, says Mr..
Page. is in state highway depart
ments, under the direction Of experts.
He tells of some figures collected by
the United States Office of Public
Roads, which is now studying a num-
ber Of counties where road improve
ment is being made In .Massachu-l
sets prior to 1890 the value Of agri- |
cultural land steadily decreased. In
1890 Massachusetts led all states in |
the Improvement of roads, and like
wise in the percentage of increase in
land values. The increase had been
from 81 to $40 an acre. In Northern
Ohio forty-five agriculture counties
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-10-14

have more than 10 per cent of the
roads improved and sixteen counties
have. less than 10 per cent improved.
The average land value in the forty
five counties is $65.79 an acre, where
as in the sixteen counties the average
vaite is $3.50, or 35 per cent cheaper
than In the counties with improved
roads. In North Carolina good roads
have increased the land values nearly
so per cent.
