4 PARK NEEDED.

Columbia is often called the mos.
progressive town in the state. She
leads in paved streets, beautiful homes
and public buildings. Too, she has
the name The Convention City" and
as such entertains thousands of visit
ors yearly. To live up to her name
she should have a public park.
Throughout the long summers. the
many who are not fortunate enough
TO own automobiles or carriages stay
at home. They have no way to get
out into the country. The park would
remedy this condition. 1t would
bring the country, the outdoors, to
the city.
The summer stay-at-home and the
working people would welcome the
park and give it their support. So
would the visitors, the students and
the little children.

HOME FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.

Every house should have in it a,
least one chemical fire extinguisher on
each floor These little inexpensive
apparatuses would save many fires
and thousands of dollars. They are
very effective and do the work where
water often fails. Many automobiles
are now equipped with them.
Fires are often discovered i'm
mediately after they start but on ac
count of the lack of available meth
DDS of extinguishing them, they go on
with their destruction. If small
chemical eXtinguisher is at hand it
would usually be possible to put the
fire out.

WAR WRITING DULL.

The Balkan war correspondents are
having a dull time. The thrill seek
ers are disappointed. Reporting a
deadlocked state legislature probably
would be more exciting.
War reporting is different from
what 1t was during the Russo-Japan-
ese war. Now the warning countries
furnish returns through bulletins is
sued by censors. These censors see
to 1t that the fortunes of their own
countries are boosted, but do not fur
nish thrilling war stories which the
writer's want. The prestige of the war
correspondent has fallen.

EARLY AMERICAN PUBLISHER
Matthew Carey Of Philadelphia and
His Service to Literature.

| Matthew Carey, a Study in Ameri-
can Literary Development" (Columbia
university press), by Dr. Earl L.
| Bradsher, is an interesting and his
| torically important monograph. which,
as its subtitle indicates, is a study of
the early beginnings of American lit
erature, rather than biography.
Matthew Carey, who was born i'm Ire
land in 1869, and who came to Amer
lea in 1874, after the vigor of his pen
in defense of the Irish cause had land
ed him in prison, had a notable career
at Philadelphia, where he died i'm
1899. He was distinguished as pat
riot of large public spirit who was ac-
lively interested in an astonishing
number of good causes, and as an
author whose account of the yellow
fever i'm Philadelphia in 1898 was re-
printed in various languages. and
whose New Olive Branch" "Or an
attempt to Establish an Identity of
Interest between Agriculture, Manu-
factures and Commerce; and to Prove
that Large Portion of the Manufac-
turing Industry of this Nation has
Been Sacrificed to Commerce; and that
commerce has suffered by this policy"
was statesmanlike production print
ed in 1920 i'm the hope of closing the
apparent rift between North
and South.
Matthew Carey from 1855 to 1917 |
was the sole owner and from 1917 |
1924 was actively at the head of the |
greatest publishing and distributing
firm in America. While his formal

beginnings were made of a distinctive

WILL 1T FIGHT ITSELF!

The government is making a grea
fight against monopoly. At the sam,
time its timber policy is the wors
type of monopoly. Will it be forced to
fight itself? Probably not. 1t would
be justified in fighting itself unless
changes in its methods came within
the next few years.
The government owns one-fifth of
all the standing timber in the coun-
try, many billion feet of which is ripe
for the ak and even deteriorating from
over-ripeness. When the government
offers its timber for sale it makes a
close estimate of the cost of manu-
featuring it into boards and of the
price Of the product. 1t then fixes
minimum selling price that will give.
the purchaser of the raw timber fair
price for cutting and saving.
1t is easy to see that the government
timber can never be sold lower than
the monopolized timber in private
hands The governments price is
fixed by the market price and the
market price in turn is fixed by
private owners of timber No matter
what the private owners boosted their
price to, the government would do
the same. This policy does not allow
the timber to be cut when it is ripe. |
II explains why the government is
selling only one-tenth the timber it
should sell to keep the forests in
good condition.
This is but another illustration OF
the American way of doing things.
We make elaborate laws for the doing
away of certain things and then do.
apparently, a great many things to
keep the law from having its full
effect.

NEW YORK AND COLUMBIA.

Columbia resembles the great New
York in several ways. 1t has a great
white way" and a Broadway, too
The lights of Broadway (Coiumbia)
CLEAN at night like the sun orb of
day. They cast a mellow glow over
this amply wide street. They give a
metropolitan finish to the small city
that is pleasing. They give touch
Of brightness to the center of the city
even though parts may be dipped in
stygian darkness. They furnish a lum-
inant point to flare the way for the in
coming farmer as he trundles along
in the blackness of the country high
way. They provide plenteous bright
ness for the night shopper. Those
lights are a Columbia asset.

In this manner Alice Foster pratt

bia Monday afternoon by Mrs. A. H.
Shepard and Mrs. C. w. Greene, di-
rectors of the Charity Organization
Society.
Before this she had lived with her
father three miles from Columbia in
what is said to be a most neglected
home
Now little Alice is free from vermin,
has new dresses, new shoes. plenty to
eat and a doll. When the doll was CIV

She has never been in a school room
and has had no chance to play with
other children. Yet her home was
only three miles from Columbia.
She and her father, a man so, lived
with family one Of the daughters
of which has a negro child.
Her father. William F. Foster, gave
Alice to the custody of the Missouri
Children's Home Society of st. Louis

ILL.,, February 12-The Western Con-
ference gymnasts and wrestlers will
soon hold their annual meet at Madi-
son, Wis. but the date has not been
decided yet Owing to the increas-
ing interest in gymnastics a larger
number of entries is expected this
year. Illinois won the gymnastic
meet last year due largely to the Prov
ess of Capt. E. B. Styles who was
graduated last year Wisconsin ap-
pears to have the strongest gymnastic
team this year while Minnesota holds
the wrestling championship. Illinois
seems to be in a good position to be a
strong contender for the wrestling
title as they have some good mat men
eligible for competition.
The meet is not limited to the
Western Conference and Nebraska,
Missouri, Notre Dame and Beloit will
enter teams.
