THE BEST BAIT.

Columbia is just now interested
in the subject of advertising her
self, carrying on a municipal adver.
tising campaign and spreading the
news of her advantages throughout
the country. The question is TAX
ing form in a plan to have each
business man print post script at
the end of his business letters tell
ing why Columbia is a good place
to make a home. Now what is the
best bait which can be offered to
prospective citizens?
Undoubtedly it is the educational
advantages found here. Hugh ].
Mckay was right when he told the
Commercial Club that "Columbia's
advertising should be built around
the fact that ii is a home city of
schools" Columbia is a city of in
telligence, culture and a high class
of people. 1t is to her best inter-
ests to maintain this standard, and
an appeal for a larger population
should be made with this in view
What will mere numbers mean if
it lowers Columbia's standards of
life?

BOOKS DELAYED BY WAR
Shipment From Germany to Uni
versity Library Held Up.

A letter received by the librarian
OF the University, H. o. Severance
from G. e. Stechert and Company
New York, tells of the delays and
difficulties Of receiving books from
Germany on account of the war
The letter in part says:
THE German shipments have
not been received since the begin
ming Of August, but we are receiv-
Ing six weeks shipments on two
Dutch steamers from Rotterdam
early next week and we shall i'm
mediately send out all the period
icals and books ordered. AS the
Rotterdam route seemed to become
rather dangerous, Mr.. Hafner made
arrangements while abroad to have
future German shipments come via
Genoa, Italy, and we expect fairly
regular shipments from there"
But shipments from England
France, Spain, Italy and other Eu-
ropean countries are not being af-
fected much by the wars. Some of
the books which have been re-
ceived lately in the library are:
"Husbandry of the Ancients,' two
volumes, by Dickinson, and "The
Annals of an Artists Life" three
volumes, by Watts.
In contrast with the 1000 STU
dents and more that read and study
during the days of school, there
are about twenty students left,
Some are working on their semes-
ter papers.
A man is at work cleaning the
shelves and books Of the library
with a vacuum cleaner. I'VE can
have the books cleaned only during
holidays and early in the summer
when the students are away" said
he librarian.

SWAT THAT JINGO.

The bullets which have been fiyins
across the Mexican border line into
Naco, Arizona; the sudden call from
Colonel Goethals for ships down
at our little, old ditch; the discus
/. sions on the navy appropriations,
especially Hobson's disclosure of
how near we were to war with ia
pan over the Philippines in May,
1913-nobody knows" all these
have set the heart of the lingo to
beating faster, his tongue to wag-
ging the more and his eyes to "see-
in things" which amt
The whole Mexican affair is a
sore spot with the Jingo. He want
ed to have them whipped long ago.
But he had recovered from the epi-
leptic fit he threw when the troops
went to Vera Cruz and were put to
scrubbing alleys and cleaning
houses instead of to shooting Mex
leans just below their sombreros.
The other day, though, he read
in the papers where the Mexicans
didn't stop shooting into Naco, Ari-
zona, after Uncle Sam had request
ed them to do so. Guns were
thrown into place and their muz-
zles leveled for business. The heart
of the Jingo gave leap after leap in
its joyous expectation. He waited.
A general went to the border town
to try to conciliate the Mexicans
and persuade them with words to
watch which way they were shoot
ing.
The Jingo is disgusted with Bryan
and his grape juice policies of peace.
He roars his disgust. He tells how
Japanese spies infest our islands,
and that they ought to be driven
out" He howls for war, any kind
of war, Just so there is a fight.
Swat the Jingo wherever you meet
him. Don't talk war with him.
Laugh at him. Ridicule his fears.
He may get angry, but he won't
fight. For the Jingo is the fellow
who stays home in war times to gos-
sip with women while other men
are at the front dying.

No Undue Influence.

The opinion further sets forth that
the stockholders of neither concern
have used their positions improperly to
influence the acts Of the other corpora
ton.
Dealing with the alleged violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law, yester-
days opinion says there was a formal
charge against both defendants under
said antitrust act, but that the oral
argument left the court under the i'm
preston that these charges were rot
much insisted on by the government.
The courts understanding was that
what was desired was n decision on the
alleged violation Of the commodities
clause on which the dismissal is based
and for this reason the court deems it
needless 10 discuss the evidence bear
ing upon the charge of restraining or
monopolizing commerce, and adds: IT
We are mistaken in this supposition the
error can easily be corrected"

hearings on the hill for fifteen days. be
ginning on THURSDAY
Representatives Of commercial and
trade bodies Of New orleans and Pacific
Coast cities will be given an opportunity
to express their opposition TO the repeal
bill. Members Of the committee suggest
ed that ex-President Taft. Secretary Bry-
an. his predecessor. MIR. Knox; Joseph II.
Choate. Ambassador TO Great Britain
Henry White. eX-Amhassador to France
Richard Olney a"d other distinguished
citizens be asked TO give their views.
With the decentralization forces In
control Of the committee, the Presidents
leutenants were content TO let well
enough alone. taking solace in the fact
that a longer time for hearings had not
been allowed. There was an undercur-
rent of dissatisfaction over the result. and
there is still some apprehension lest an
excuse be found to extend the hearings
beyond the fifteen days. Senator Will
Jams. among others, declared that the
ring which tried to block the nomina-
ton OF the President al Baltimore was
now trying to bring about his defeat
through canal tolls.
Victory Only Temporary.
on the whole, however, the victory OF
the anti-repeal forces was regarded as
merely temporary. Ii may result in the
loss of some time in bringing the question
to a vote, but this is not regarded as seri-
Gus, as the general debate has already
begun, and the Senate will exhaust some
of its oratorical resources while the COM
mittee is holding hearings.
The anti-repeal forces. flushed with
their victory in committee. met with de-
feat in the Senate proper when the Poin-
dexter resolution, calling on the President
for information concerning the matters
Of nearer consequence" to which he re
ferred in his canal tolls message. was laid
on the table by vote of 50 to e. The
vote was not entirely indicative OF the
strength of the forces behind the repeal
bill, for some of those arrayed against
the President voted TO table the resolu-
ton. and others who support the repeal
bill took the opposite side. The vote was
however. as an indication
that the administration forces control the
situation.
The Senate adopted without dissent
resolution offered by Senator Brandegee
calling for all correspondence relative to
the negotiations for the i1ay-Pauncefote
treaty. 1t was stated that substantially
all of this matter already was in print
in Senate documents.
Claim Majority Of Nine.
A majority OF nine votes in favor OF
the repeal of the tolls exemption clause
was claimed to-day by the administra-
ton lieutenants The action Of the Inter
oceanic Canals Committee in postponing
vote in the Senate by allowing hearings
was also taken to be a confession OF
weakness by the anti-repoal forces who
are trusting in public opinion TO gain
them recruits.
The debate on the tolls question was
carried on to-day by Senator Works. VINO .
