APPRECIATED
ALPHA'S READING ROOM ECLIPSES
ANYTHING LOCALLY
DEDICATED LAST TUESDAY
Contains 1000 Volumes of the
Worlds Best Works and is Fur
nished in the Very Latest

The people of Alpha certainly
appreciate the beautiful reading room
provided for them in the new Porter
school and the excellent selection OF
books and equipment the personal
gift of George S. Porter TO the people
of the community The school and
the library and reading room have
been named after Mr.. Porter who has
been the moving spirit in the develop
ment OF the village of Alpha. Mr..
Porter came into possession of what
were known as the Porter Lands
a large tract of land embracing some
of the most promising in Mastodon
township. They had been tied up
with the Sawyer Goodman interests
for many years but about five years
ago Mr.. Porter began to turn his
attention actively 10 them ana COM
bination was formed with the Long
year Bennett Pillsbury interests of
Minneapolis ana Duluth whereby
was to be undertaken by this concern.
A large sum of money was spent with
out developing anything in the Masto-
don section but they didn't get cold
feet. They kept right at the work
and i'm time reaped handsome reward
in the discovery of the largest body Of
iron ore found in Iron county TO date.
Later on plans for development
were perfected and in this end of the
transaction Mr.. Porter entered prom
inently. He has been all of his life a
promoter Of suburban towns adjacent
TO Chicago and to him fell the hulk of
the planning for the new town of Alpha
that was to lie adjacent to the big ore
find.
The big school was named after him
and through his suggestion portion of
the building was dedicated 10 public
library and reading room. He offered
to equip and furnish the library 1T the
school district would do the rest and
he kept his word
When the reading room WAS thrown
open TO the public last week the
library contained /, 900 volumes Sc
lected from the best works by trained
librarians These books are tor the
use OF the people of the community
and the room is provided with reading
tables where the daily papera, maga-
zines and other publications can be
read on each evening OF the week by
anyone so inclined
The furnishings Of the room are of
dull oak, the personal selection of Mr.
Porter. The school board will heat
and care for the room aud this library
and reading room promises TO be a
very popular spot this winter IN

WAR IN IRELAND!

The threatened war in Ireland
takes us back to the Middle Ages
when religious wars were common
This is in reality a religious quarrel
which has grown very bitter The
Protestants, numbering half a million
out of the four and a half millions OF
population in Ireland, live in Ulster, a
province in the north. The rest of the
island is Catholic.
Sir Edward Carson and his Ulster
Cnionists have protested from the first
against the proposed home rule for
Ireland. for, they contend, the Dublin
government will be controlled by the
Catholic party from mere force of
numbers and territory. Rather than
submit to such rule the high spirited
Irish Protestants say they will fight
until the last man is dead. To this
end Ulster has been preparing.
England has laughed at the bluff, as

trouble was. The preacher did no,
talk the Missouri language 1t was
on effort for the audience to translate
that sermon into everyday talk.
That sermon and many Others

milton of evolution. | think his exact
words were An integration of mat

language really. But when a preacher
uses this style of talk from the
pulpit he don't get anywhere. Aca-
demic English is often as far from
everyday English as the language
used by the Jap in his letters of resig-
nation when he wrote: Respected
Sirs: | have the honor to elucidate

EVERYONE'S BUSINESS.

The Commercial Club is fulfilling
its purpose as leader in the commu-
nifty. The members of the club have
taken an active interest in and work
ed hard to better Columbia and the
adjacent country. Much has been ac-
complished.
However, the Commercial Club is
not making any plans to rest on its
reputation. Instead a larger and still
more active campaign is being pre-
pared, and for that reason the club
has asked every citizen-farmer, day
labOrer. professor, business man-to
meet with it this week and discuss
what can be done for Columbia and the
community. The club values the idea
of the people and wants to know what
they are.
It's up to you, Mr. Citizen. to attend
that meeting and do your share
toward making this better place.

VIEWPOINTS
Reliable Newspapers.

Editor the Missourian:-The finding
of crowns" of feathers in the pillows
of two recently deceased church work,
ers at Princeton, Mo-. has created
quite a stir in that community. 1t is
the superstition i'm that town that this
phenomenon is the sign that the dead
person is believer"
Few educated persons believe that
miracles are of the present, however
much they may believe that miracles
were performed in the past. Yet some
supposedly reputable metropolitan
newspapers. chiefly of st. Louis. con-
tanned long descriptive Sunday stories
about these phenomena.
Newspapers do not scoff at relia-
BILE religious beliefs nor do they deny
that miracles were performed in the
dim. distant past. but why will "A
newspaper that is ordinarily believed
to be reliable and conservative print
such a fairy story that has no basis
of truth? c. NJ.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1914-03-24

they called it. But now those intent
on forcing home rule on these Union
lists find they have sometimes more
than a bluff to deal with. Arms and
ammunition are in readiness. The
spirit of battle beats i'm all hearts
Men. women and children watch at
all hours for the rocket from the Bel
fast headquarters which will signal
that war has actually begun.
Revolt has long smouldered in the
Irish heart. Whether the contention
of the Unionist. that his liberty will be
sacrificed by home rule. is justified,
no one can doubt the sincere and aw-
full seriousness of these men. They
have long been preparing for the crisis
when home rule automatically goes
into effect at the end of this session of
Parliament.
Ireland has not long been filled by
the spirit of modern cOmmercialism
and twentieth century ideas. Those
sturdy natives only feel that they have
been wronged and they are willing to
fight for their liberty. This is not un-
like many revOlts England has had to
ieal with. but it is unusual in the mod
arn European world for a religious
war to be impending.

LET'S EXTEND THE LIMITS.

The Missourian hopes that the pro-
posed extension OF the city limits
of Columbia will pass in the election
April :. 1t desires this both for the
people who are outside and those who
are inside the present limits.
Many who live beyond the limits are
using city lights and water; they
should be given a voice in the man
agement of the plant Incidentally
they should help pay the city taxes
if they are reaping the benefit of the
city.
The council is to be congratulated
upon the ordinance which it passed.
No section of the city is favored No
real estate interests were specially
benefited. Additions were made on
all sides of the city, thus keeping the
city about the same.
The extension is simply an indica-
tion of the continued growth of Co
lumbia. Here's hoping that the voters
ratify the action of their City Council

POLISH COLUMBIA'S HEELS,

The unpOlished and rundown heel
of a shoe will ruin the effect of the
most expensive and fashionably cut
clothes a person can wear. The neg
lect of this small detail in dress
stamps the wearer as careless and
slovenly person no matter how care
fully he may be groomed in other re-
spects.
That narrow strip of ground be-
tween the sidewalk and the curb may
be likened to the heel of the shoe
No matter how clean the streets are
swept, how beautiful the lawns along
il are, or what fine mansions have been
built there. an unkept parking destroys
the effect of the whole. And it re-
fleets on the citizens who allow it to
remain that way.
The annual cleanup time is here,
and the movement to make Columbia
beautiful throughout the spring and
summer is being agitated again. Do
not forget the parking.
