vertises with sort of sudden jerk
is the man who blames the printer
because it didn't work. The man
that gets the business uses brainy

LIBRARIES AND NWsPAPERs

The League OF Library Committees,
which has been holding a convention
at Chicago the past week, has been
considering the matter of dropping
newspapers from library reading
rooms, on the ground that neWspap-
ers are so accessible TO all that
that they are not essential to Iibrar-
les. The committee seems likely 10
recommend that the Libraries discon-
tinue taking them.
If they do it there would be a big
protest. In the reading room in a
large library, the newspaper section
is what draws the crowd. Men vii
hang around for an hour WaLung Tor
their turn TO read a faVorite journal.
Compared with library magazine
room, the newspaper section seems
far more valuable as a popular edu-
Gator. The magazine reaaers spend
their time over thrilling fiction OF
padded articles written to so with
certain picture. The newspaper is
read to learn about real things that
actually happen.
An hour spent in looking over the
journals from. near. and distant cities
is a broadening experience. One
gets the points of view of other
states, committees, and sections OF
social life. The more newspapers a
man reads, the more he sees that
there are two SIDES 10 every argu-
ment. The very best newspaper must
be one sided, if it is to present its
points OF view with any force and
enthusiasm. Only by learning what
they think on the other side of the
debate, over in the next state, OF
across the country, will one see the
whole truth.
Publishers have always been divid-
ed as to whether it is a business adj
vantage to furnish newspapers 10 Ii
brames. Some say it reduces the sale
of their journals, while others regard
it as excellent advertising. But the
public will sooner see the books and
magazines thrown out of the readins
rooms before it permits the newspa a.
per to go.

THE NEW GOVERNORS

One OF the events o. the month is
the inauguration of new governors in
most of the states. 1t is commonly
an occasion OF some ceremony. Our
democratic republic theoretically has
little use for forms and ceremonies
and symbols. Practically the Amer
lean people like a spIurge and demon
stration. Most OF the new governors
go in surrounded with gold lace, band
music, and a general environment OF
tail coats and high hats.

this Office is the Frequency with

An INSPIRING

Written Especially for The Reporter
By an East IN divine.
This is an age Of opport unity.

pie an inclination to think Of what
they could do to brighten the oppor
lunities OF those about them and rem
der their own lives more attractive
and more eternaIIy valuable.
All the world has something OF
brightness to offer the pilgrim who
is seeking that which IS bright and
good.
Every individual owes society his
best effort TO use to the best advan-
tage the opportunities he finds, and
% make the opportunities better for
hose who follow him.
Every man ought 10 sit down and
think Of his grandfather and con
template what he did to make the
present conditions we enjoy.
If the grandfather had been in
different to US, as We sometimes
seem to the coming generation, he
would not be held in the reverence
with which we now contemplate his
part in the conditions which make
present day life.
Are we daily thinking Of the
generations yet 10 follow US? Are We
daily thinking of the most elective
way of insuring better living and
better social conditions for the fu-
lure?
Every man owes the future the
thought and action which viii pre-
serve, in our institutions, the best
standards of life.
No one can face the future with
dear vision who has neglected the
things which would insure correct
Standards for those to come.

a better living chance for every

pleasures to be found in well-do-

others.
The churches face a great work:
ana we, as individuals, are response

churches in the great task.
It is not question of creeds or
doctrines; the only doctrine which
must obtain is that of giving TO ev-
cry one a fair chance to make a fair
record and face the future with a
fair vision.
That makes it necessary for men
to be organized for church work, for

their material support because of
such organizations.
