THE WISDOM OF BOOKS.

We have commented several times upon the
benefits to be derived from reading a good book,
the harder the subject handled the better the
profit derived theref ON. Naturally there are
quite a number of vo. lmes in the world and it is
impossible for anybody to do anything like read
but an infnitessimal portion of them.
The average man reads We should say one or
maybe two serious volumes a year, and when we
say that we have doubts as to the truth of the
estimate. Most people like to read a light
novel in a slovenly way, but to tackle a meaty and
compact discussion of any brisk subject is an
other thing.
The other day it was disclosed that the Con-
gressional Library in Washington has 2,457,974
books, in addition to 154,200 maps and charts,
770,284 volumes and music pieces and 1922 1905
prints. The New York Public Library has 200,-
900 volumes less than the national library. So
the man who wants to read can go ~ahead-there
is no chance of his learning all that there is.

THE LEAK"

Much has been said within the past few days
of the "1eak" in Washington circles by which
Wall Street spectators are alleged to have cor
nered some millions of dollars from those who
were not on the line. Congress has appeared
nervous and apprehensive in regard to it. Law.
son has been openly charging, and just as openly
failing to substantiate his charges at the pre-.
liminary show down.
We seriously doubt that any high official has
been guilty of a purposeful breach of his duty, and
if there has been a leak, we think it merely a mis-
hap, which is liable to happen in the best of
circles. If we were in Congress however, we
would see that an investigation were ordered, and
pushed to the last sources. The public, who Con-
gress represents, is due that much.

THE PEOPLE PAY THE BILL.

1t has always been marvellous what a differ
ence exists between the salaries which the world
is willing to give men of brain and thought, who
devote their lives to the study of some great
particular, and the recompense accorded those
who furnish cheap and tawdry amusements.
We remember when ex-President Taft &C.
cepted his present position he received a small
salary, which was announced alongside one ten
times as big, which was paid to a baseball coach.
Several motion picture stars receive more money
than the president and the best teachers barely
make a decent living while coaches and en-
tertainers amble along in their wealth.
This is in our minds a bad sign of the condi-
ton of American people. Think it over and you
will see that those who appeal in life to the emo
tons ride in wealth while those who do practical
work or original research come very near starv-
ing. A man will pay a nickel for a funny paper
very often when he wouldn't pay that amount for
a page Of common sense. 1t is the same contrast
between dirty shows and the church. The average
man knows which is best for him, but he goes to
the show all the same.
The truth of the matter is that Americans are
ruled more by their emotions, their sentimental
fancies and their tendency to avoid the logic Of
events. They want to dodge, and in spite Of their
boosted straightforwardness they do not meet the
issues Of their lives in a direct and convincing
matter. They excuse, they apologize, they dodge
and twist and squirm, but whether they fool them
selves or not, they go in for pleasure, for the
qualification of their lusts and their material well
being.
1t is a pity but it is for the most part true Of
the mass when considered as a unit. There is
only one thing to do and that is to hammer on
the individual. Whenever you reach one human
being you have helped that much, but for the
present, the people pay for what they want and
they get it.
