Many people never learn the art of living, because
they never see the relative Importance Of duties,
opportunities and interests, and never discriminate
between the things on which they ought to throw the
full weight Of their energy and those which they
ought to touch lightly in passing, says The Outlook.
The results of seeing things out Of perspective
and OF losing the sense of relative values are not
always tragic, but they arc always twastefnlA Or time
and strength, and they destroy the symmetry |pt
living. At a time when many interests appeal to men
or women it is easy to dissipate ones vitality and
waste ones influence. 1t is so easy to know a little
of everything that many people know nothing thor
oughly. They become eclectics in religion and their
spiritual energy evaporates in a vague interest in the
gossip, SO to speak, of half Il dozen faiths; they read
the textbooks of all the arts, and end by losing what
ever capacity for pleasure they had when they be-
came globe trotters" in the galleries, museums and
studios: they hear lectures on philosophy, and get a
snattering Of the dialect of thought without learning
how to think; they join a hundred charities, and never
give themselves; they are eager for all the reforms,
but have no time to give real support to any of them.
They accept everything that comes their way; they
reject nothing; and life in their hands takes on neitl-
err duty nor beauty. They respond to every call, and
no sooner start in one direction than they are divert
ed into another path, and never reach the end of any
road.

More About q LibrQw

Many people in tx" capital city feel somewhat
Inundated through the fact that Bismarck. one OF
the most important and rapidly growing cities in
E4the state, has no public library and reading rooms.
About, two years ago the agitation for a public
library was started by the brotherhoods of the various
churches, and committees were names and some
steps taken looking toward the establishment of one.
Later on committees from these various organizations
appeared before the city commission and proposed
that a room or rooms be furnished in the new audi
forum. This was taken under consideration, but
when the plans for that building were changed, no
thought was taken of the library project and the
building as being completed does not appear to have
any available room for a library.
About a year ago the women's clubs of the city
took the matter up and a committee representing the
various women's clubs, with Mrs. Oscar Will repre-
sentlng the women of the city not interested in CLUB
work; was named. More recently yet, a committee
was named by the Commercial club to cooperate with
the ladies'. These committees appear to have very
clearly defined notions of what ought to be done and
IT will undoubtedly be be but a question of time until
a beginning is made.
The committees believe that it would be folly for
Bismarck, with the sentiment for a public library
largely undeveloped, to attempt to erect a building or
to maintain a large library, even if the building could
be secured. They wish simply to make a beginning.
They can secure the funds to pay a librarians salary
and to secure the necessary books, but a room is the
sticking point. If a room can be secured and its main
tenance provided for, the project could be launched.
There has been much talk OF quarters in the city
hall and it is possible that suitable quarters can be
made there. If the city commission could See its
way clear to do this much-donate the room and
maintain it for the organization-the project might
be launched. There might be those in the city who
would gladly donate a room if they but knew of the
needs of the committees. Anyone interested in the
project should communicate with Mrs. K. +. Flint,
Mrs. John Larson, Mrs. r. H. Pierce, Mrs. Oscar
Will, Mrs. Z. B. Goss Or Mrs. Walter Gushing. +. j.
Taylor, Leonard Bell and Superintendent Root are
also members of the committee.
There are undoubtedly many people in Bismarck
who would gladly donate books ii the room was Sc
cured and a start made. There has been talk of a big
supper and social time With books as the price 0!
admission. If the room and it's maintenance can 10
managed, the library will probably be started.
After the start had been made with a modest num-
Der of books and a reading room and public sentiment
had reached the proper stage, a Carnegie building
and a real library would probably be attempted.

American PUsOn.M Made Poetry

Julian Hawthorne and his partner in. New York
and in prison, Or! Morton, are the latest contributors
to the stock of prison-made poetry. As the output
has been fairly steady ever since a governor of Min
y uesota pardoncd a convict because of a poem written
in the penitentary, the supply has now become so
large an enterprising publisher could make quite a
volume Of it, aud if Illustrated with prison views it
might achieve d best-seller. .iE.r
Unfortunately, the quality is not equal to what a
hopeful public has a right to expect. Prison pressure
in the Old World has had a good effect upon genius.
1t squeezed "Pilgrim's Progress"%out of John Bunyan,
Don Quixote' out of C%ervantes, La Jeune Captive"
out Of Chenier, the famous "Travcls" out Of Marco
Polo and DE Profundis' out of Oscar Wilde. 1t has
it's influence also upon many another sweet ginger,
who, as Shelly said, LEARNED in suffering what he
taught in song" In short, European literary history
attests that for the purpose of producing poetic eftll-
encc a prison cell is almost as elective as stars or
brand.
1t is not apparent why it Should be different here.
1t cannot be said that our native genius is aVerse TO
confinement, for bankers in Jail have manipulated the
market, and captains of industry have emerged from
penitentiaries to carry out enterprises planned III
that seclusion. Only the poets and romances fail in
prison test. 1t is a problem for psychologists.

The Bu-E2ectiOn in Maine

1t cannot be said that the expected has happened
in the Third congressional district Of Maine, where
at Mondays special election the republican candidate
obtained a plurality of 553 over the democratic cam
didate. The democrats undoubtedly had expected a
victory even in that stronghold of high protection and
standpatism. But they had expected it simply and
only because Of the belief that the progressive candi-
date would make something of a run. Had he poHed
a few hundred more votes, the house seat would have
gone to the democrats.
In the regular election Of last year the republican
nominee for congress polled over $1,000 votes and
carried the district over his democratic opponent.
The progressives had no candidate in that fight, but
Roosevelt had 5000 more votes than Taft. This year
the progressives made a strenuous fight and INDUCED
in confident predictions of victory. Their candidate
proved to be a very poor third in the race. The demo
cratic candidate had almost as many votes as Wilson
obtained last year.
From an impartial point of view, then, the result
means little. There is no rebuke to the national ad-
mintstration and no vindication for standpatisn.
Why thousands of progressiyes were not moved by
the appeals of their leaders, and preferred to vote
for the republican only they themselves can explain.

Mr.. BruQn and the CAMPAIGNS

Mr.. Bryan, it is stated, will stump New Jersey Tor
the democratic state ticket. 1t is assumed that the
presidents choice, Gov. Fielder, will head it. The
Washington Star says he has opposition in the prim-
airy but is expected to win through the presidential
influence.
Whatever criticism may lie against MIR. Bryans
chautauqua work, none can be justly urged against
his work as a stump speakel. He properly holds
himself at his party's call. He stands at the head OF
its stumping procession. "When other helpers fail
and comforts fee,' he sometimes saves the day.
This announcement, too, is another evidence OF
Mr.. Bryan;s loyalty to his chief. New Jersey is Mr..
Wilson's home state, and it is important that 1t 90
democratic this year. A reverse would be not only
personally Notifying ,Abut politically embarrassing. II
on the first appeal after taking office here Mr.. Wilson
were refused Endorsement at home, he would lose
prestige throughout the country.
Mr.. Wilson's old enemies have not been placated.
The two "Jims"-Smith and Nugent-are Still in op-
position. But it is likely that after the primary result
has been declared they will bow to. it and 90 to work
for the party. They bowed to the Baltimore result?
Why not again? HF~F$
Eut suppose Mr.. Bryan is invited while in New
Jersey to cross the river and say a word for John
Purroy Mitchell, the presidents candidate. for mayor
of New York; will lie go? Will it Consist with his
notions of things to canvas in one state for the regu-
lar party and in aaotller; state fpr anI independent
candidate running against the regular candidate? ~f
In New York Tammany represents the 88de hocratic
party. 1t is regular, and its candidate for mayor, Mr..
Mccall, has been regularly nominated. Mr.. Bryan, it
is true, slammed Tammany at Baltimore last year,
but he did not drive it out Of the party. 1t bowed to
the slam, Went home and carried New York for Mr..
Wilson.
The president wants Mr.. Mitchell elected. 1t is
with his knowledge and consent that the collectorship
of the port is an. asset in Mr.. Mitchels %mayoralty
campaign. Aud the asset has great value. Indeed,
were Mr.. Mitchell to resign his federal office he would
injure his mayoralty campaign.
There has been talk that Secretaries McAdoo and
Redheld, both New Workers, would aid Mr.. Mitchell,
but their appearance on the stump would be as moth
ing by comparison with Mr.. Bryan's. The secretary
OF state canvassing against Tammany at the request
of the president would create a sensation.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY
:ERAGs, pa.oo PER AETvM
F. A. wardwen. g. G. Thompson
WARDwRLL q THOMPSON
WEBB BILL PASSED.

The Webb bill, giving the states police
power over shipments of intoxicating
liquors into their borders, was repassed
by the house of representatives. This
action was due to the fact that the SEN
ate had converted the bill into measure
ofits own instead of the Kenyon Sanders
bill, thus making it technically necessary
for the lower house to repass the bill.
Both in the senate and house the meas.
ure was finally disposed Of by viva voce
vote. Only the signature of President
Taft is now needed, and this is assured.
The new act will become the law of the
land at an early day.
The Law will enable the dry states 10
enforce their prohibition laws. It will
not only do this. but it will likewise
destroy one of the most plausible argu-
ments employed against the policy Of
forbidding the liquor traffic, an argument
which has been hard to successfully re-
fute. The contention Of opponents of
state prohibition has been that pro.
hibition would not prohibit SO long as
the interstate federal laws permitted
shipment Of liquors from one state into
the dry territory Of another state, and
the fact is that such conditions, made so
BY the existing federal laws, have render
cd it very difficult for the dry states to
prevent the liquor traffic, but with the
Webb law in force outside shipments
will in large measure cease, and it will
be much easier for state prohibition laws
TO be enforced. n
The passage Of this bill will not only
meet the approval Of the prohibitionists
and temperance advocates, but it will
likewise please a large number who have
heretofore opposed the temperance laws
on the ground that they could not be
generally and successfully enforced, for
.it will be conceded that this federal
statute Is one Of the most deadly blows
tho liquor traffic has ever received.
