THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
Splendidly characteristio of the
saprit which prevails in western Mon
tana was the Hamilton pull-together
meeting of Tuesday night. With
unanimity, the representatives of all
the commercial clus in the Bitter
Root valley voted to form a central
association and to invite the towns
cf Sanders and F'lathead counties, as
well as those of the reservation
rgilon, to Participate In the new
organisatlon's work. This broad,
neighborly 'lspirit of co-operation is
what is making western Montana
great; It is what will make It greater.
11 Is the force of the pull-together
wand that is not to he resisted; it is
.lI-conquering.
A good start was made toward the
organization of the new assoclation,
which will be perfected at a meeting
which has been called for I,'ebruary
It, to be held in Missoula. At this
meeting it is Ihoped that Plains,
Thompson, Itonan, Dixon, Poison,
Ravalil, Kalispell, Whitefish and all
other western Montana clubs will he
represented. The definite works of the
nlew association will be started tllen
and all sections should be represented.
THE GREENWOOD LETTER.
The letter which George Greenwood
has addressed to all alumni of the
University of Montana, should receive
the consideration which it merits. Mr.
Greenwood states clearly and ac
curately, we believe, the conditions
which endanger the progress, not
only of the state university but of
every one of the state's edtlucational
institutions. The state board of edu
cation has emphasized by its recent
action the menace which threatens
the state's schools. Upon "vague and
Intangible" grounds and without any
chhrge against him whatever, the
president of the state university Is
di;missed. The state board of educa
tion spends less than twenty minutes
In discussion and final action in the
case; we are told that some of the
members wanted to catch a train and
couldn't spare time to go further into
the 'case. But they could, upon
"vague and Intangible" grounds and
with but scant consideration of the
case dismiss the university's presi
dent. Not the alumni, alone, but
every man and woman In Montana
should protest.
MEXICO.
The United States appears to be
unfortunate in its neighbor to the
south. The Madero government Is
giving proof every day that It cannot
control of its own country and revolts,
revolutions and mutinies are events of
daily occurrence. It Is probable that
tils country will be compelled to
police its border for years to come
at occasional intervals-and that this
will cost a great deal of money. It
has been suggested that the United
States should take peaceful possession
of war-ridden Mexico, somewhat on
th.;pder ef, the posseselon of Cuba,

not surgested, excepting by a
few fanatics, that the United States
a should annex Mexico, but it would
seem that years of trouble and great
ultimate expense might be saved by
Uncle 8an's administration for a
, while of that' country's business.

GAYNOR AND EGGS.
If there were a definite something
5 to which people could tie Mayor
o Geynor of New York-such as teeth
0 or a wide-brimmed hat-he'd be as 1
'' popular as Theodore Roosevelt, or as
well known, at least, for he has many
of the characteristics of the hero of
0 Ban Juan hill. Mr. Gaynor is as will
Ing to decide an Important problem I
on salht or deliver snap Judgment
on a question of minor importance as
Mr. Roosevelt ever was. Eggs, even,
do not come in the catalogue of things
not worthy of consideration. A little u
while ago, Mr. Gaynor was examining
New York school children and dis
covered that the prevailing notion
concerning soft-boiled eggs was fhat
they should be boiled for six minutes.
Like 'most everybody else of Im
portance, Mayor (laynor was once a
boy on a farm. Therefore, he knows
all about eggs. Also, he desired to
show those children that he did know.
So, he said: "No, children, soft
bohiled eggs should not he bolh,'l
l,niret than four minutes."
Thereujlon, all New York begun to
discoss soft-alled eggs and to cail F
Mayor (laytor all sorts ,f chumlips.
l'oft-bolld eggs should I.e in the
water but two minutes, said one
school of thought; three mnllutes is il
the proper time, contended another. W
It was charged that the mayor had
been misqluoted, that he was correct, b,
that he was wrong, that he never na
said it. This controversy waxed so f
loud that Boston heard It. The
Monitor explained it all, as follows: ei
"of course, this controversy arises tt
mainly from a misunderstandling. c
Some start to boll an egg in cold g
water, others in water from which
the chill has been removed, others
in luke-warm water, others In warm
water, others in hot water and others
in superheated water, and many take
eggs that have long been in cold
storage, others take eggs that came
from the farm last summer or last
full or last spring, while at few take
eggs that are actually fresh, and all h
expect these eggs to half-boll In the hi
same time,. B1
"The principal trouble after all, is
with the cok Ilooks. These should
not speak of eggs as if they were all
alike, and they should be more explicit
In t4lling whether the cooking of a
soft-bolled egg begins when it is
placed over the fire In a llenepan
full of cold water or when the water
begin to boll. If this were done, Mayor
Gaynor would not now find himself
plsacd In almost as awkward a posl
tion as sonle of the avowed candi
dates for the presidency. It is pos
sible, of course, that he coukl explain
to everylody's satisfaction, but it is
not possible to get everybody to listen
to atl expllnationn."
JUST PUNISHMENT.
The Missoullat believes that the
I)nnlan white-slave bill, passed by the
last legislative assembly of Montana
and fathered by a Missoula man, has
done more to atate the noxious "sec
retary" than any other measure,
preventative or punitive. There is a
concrete example in tile day's news
that tells why this law Is so effective.
Yesterday James Tevane, convicted
cadet. stepped out of the county jail

In a good deal more than a year
Hilnce Ills conviction-and tile ipunish

Ily dressed men have gone away from
Mlssoula, unobtrusively but quickly.
Today Missoula is more free from this
class of humllan scum than for years;
tihe cadet is a negligible quantity
hero now. This is good.

added that sometimes one term is
too muc'h.

Thought for Today
Lead Poisoning.
By Mrs. Robert M. La iollette.
A notable bulletin has Just been se
sued by the United States bureau pf
labor on industrial lead poisoning in
Europe and the United States. It con
cerns many people. Lead is used in
painting, pottery, plumbling, dyeing,
wallpaper manufacture, besides many
minor Industrles,
Lead poisoning is not so terrible a
disease as "phosyJaw." Often the loss
of health it so gradual workers do not
realise that it is caused by their oc
cupation, Great waste of human life
goes on because of ignorance of the
pause.
Studies In Europe have shown the
poisoning is largely preventable and
legislation has been enacted for its
prevention, There has been no spe
cific legislation in the United States
except in Illnols.

L es ad Their 'k
I--The An~erican Movement.
By Prrderio J. Halkin
America ato one of the youngest na
,tlons, yet, in 9mportion to its pop
ulation It has tioer ptublic librarie
accesalble to Il, ofltiens than an)
ot'.er nation' f1 t , Mord, These fa.r
cilltles are . pnstantly in
creased and broa.eied and there it
no other eountlry lb which the libraries
are so liberat ll their privileges.
With the e*lrpte n of a compara
tively samil inlmber oT special
libraries, the Atlerican public it
brarlie are it ,qroulating so that any
one deairingr !t bmtow books for home
reading mAy e' able to do so. There
are now in the lnited States over
150 librarie haviolt an average annual
circulation of mo0e than 100,000 vol.
umes. At least 700 have a circula
tion above 60,000 and over 12,000 re
port their elrculation above 30,000
volumes.
Besldes these there are thousands
of small town libraries clrculating
from 1,000 to 15,000 books annually,
many of which are not represented by
any official repoMt, Tn addition t,)
these, there are branch libraries,
traveling libraries, village and home
Itbraries, all of which furnish read
ing facillltles to a large circle of peo
ple. That area df the United States
not nniw coveted by the library move
iment is small indeed. It is estimated
that the annual circulation of hooks
last year avetaged at least in for ev
ery man, woman and child above 10
years of age in the country.
Naturally the handling and rlrulan
tion of hooks in ard) an enormous
numher calls forth a great army of
workers who are engaged In the vari
ous departments of Ilhbrary work. The
American library idea is the broadest
In the world. The Europenn nations
characterise It as extravagant, be
cnase they are as yet not an.le to cope
with American liherality. Tint they
are copying us in this respect as in
many others.,
The American library aims not only
to supplf every demand for reading
matter, but also greatly to increase
the demand. The United Rtates pub
lic library' nldicates a free clrculs
lion of books to every class of read
er. There is no man, woman or child
in America too poor to be debarred
from the use of. bdols upon almost
any subject desired, and the tendency
of the library spirit is the encour
agement of every instinct towards
reading on the part of those who
would not be able to supply them
selves Iwith books.
The first meeting of librarians in
America was held in New York in
1863, brought about largely through
the efforts of Professor Charles C.
Jewett of the Smithsontan institution.
Fifty-eight librarians attended this
meeting, but no definite steps toward
an organization were taken for some
time. Another .meeting was held in
Philadelphia during the ('entennlal ex
position in 1878 and the American Li
brary assoclation was organised with
303 members. This meeting s rte
ta._qde Os ,dhe -epnesla of the ngw Ii
br " movelnent, anspd i' lnowlt'e ex
teidM, and only tlhrong~ou't the Unit
ed States, but within a few years
throughout Europe as Well. In 1877,
a public meeting of lIbrarians was
held In London and the British T~Sbrn
rv asociatlion was organised. In his
'first addres., the president ofat the
British ssoclatlion called attention to
the development of library spirit in
America and the advisabtllty of Eng
l;nd following the example set.
The piresent age will be known as
a library age. In a single year, a
-undred new library laws have been
passed hv American legislatures. In
publicl Interest and support, in liber
ality of laws and appropriations, and
In magnitude of individual gifts, the
Ibrary movement of the past quarter
of a century excels any other in his
tory. Throughout all parts of the
country, stately buildings are being
erected as monuments to this great
educative spirit.
At the beginning of the public II
rwary movement,., it mas feared that
there would he antagonism between
that Institution and the public school.
The contrary has proved true, and the
heartiest co-operation ha. developed
between these two great Wducatlonal
factors. Th* library supplements the
facilities of the chool textbook, and
the school creates a demditl for read
ing which sends the chbldren to the
library. There is also in Amerlca
i large number of child, bread-win
nrs who are cnmpellt4 to leave
school at an early age.' These may
fnd in the library an oaportunity to
supplement their education which
would otherwise he meag.r and..onin
siring. i
The chief difference between: the
modern library spirit and the old, Is
that the old library was I storehouse
for booka, where they wers cherished
as treasures only to be enjoyed by a
ew, while th) modern libary is a
ountain giving nlout its resorces free
y to all who will accept them, The
ctangea has been gradual In many

Careless management oB a beautiful
new factory brought about.siiph a con
ditlon of things that during thi fourth
and fifth months of its op LTtton 11
men out of a payroll of 60 developed
severe lead poisoning. In obntrast to
this, one of the oldest factories, em
ploylng 70 men, had only one case
during four months. This difference,
Dr. Hamilton says, could not be at
tributed to anything except difference
in management and control,.
Among the standards she lays down
for good construction of a 'wbhte lead
factory are light enough to show, dlst
andt dirt, abundant and well dlltri~uted

vailing thnOUdlhout the country, of the
publio library lending its books free

Lib#tla rt a e now agree that' the
beet name for the tax-supported in
stitution is :"Publie libiry" preceded
by the name of the city or town. The
term "free" suggests eharity, and
"eirculating" is unnecessary, since all
modern libraries are understood to be
for lending purposes, unless otherwise
stated. The modern public library
may be mid to serve three functionsa
As a storehoua: a laboratory for
study and serious lomrk; and 'a mint
of sane entertainment. voryP. publie
library must have a reference room
and a lending department, and It
should have a .periodical room.
The reeourcee of a library should
vary in respect to the needs of the
locality in which it Is situated. In a
town where manufacturing is the chief
industry, books upon that subject will
have a large demand if the -library
is propelyv appreciated by the citisens.
TIn agrlculturaJ community, bookr
bearing upon that subiect should he
provided in larger numbers. The last
decade of library work has tended es
pecially to supply the wants of men,
thus disproving the theory that II
brarles existed only for women ahd
children. Books calculated to interest
men now occupy a prominent place.
Special attention is given to books
on all departments of technology, and
men who desire to make progress in
anyi line of study receive encourage
ment. A .lfcnago man working in a
hardware store had a taste for ma
chine work. He asked his employers
to place him In charge of some work
giving him an opportunity to follow
his bent. but his request was refused.
As he had a family dependent upon
him, he could not attend a trade
school, but he obtained a position as
night watchman In charge of a steam
heating plant. He borrowed books
on ifechanics from the public library
under the advice of the head 'of the
department. WIthin asix.months, he
was able to pnas an examination qual.
Ifying him for a position as a me
chanical engineer In a large factory
that gives him more than double the
salary paid him by the hardware firm.
Formerly the books of an American
clreulating library, were issued only
in English, but the large percentage
of foreign population in the United
States has called for books In other
languages. This is especially true of
the branch librarles In the larger
cities. Books upon most subjects of
popular Interest in the city library
are now supplied in Russian, French,
German, Swedish, Lithuanian, Hun
garian, Italian. modern Greek, Slavic,
Portuguese and other ilquggp..,'ie,
number of Spanish-spealcng posses
alons lately acquired by the United
States has created a great demand for
Spanish books even In centers where
no Spanish-speaking people reside.
The modern nas well as the classic
Spanish literature may be found In
most large libraries. Business men
having relations with Spanish-speak
ing territory find the Spanish shelf
of the public library of especial val
ue to them.
The greatest problem now confront
ing the modern library development
is the standardisation of the classify
ing and cataloguing methods. As ev
ery state has its own separate educa
tional system, so most of them have
their library commifsions and every
large library is to g certain extent in
divlduallstic. Yet it is desirable that
some uniformity in the classifica
tlion of books should be secured, and
the American Library association is
working towards this end.
To the average reader, the card
catalogue system In an incomprehenil
ble mystery and even to the trained
librarian going from one large library
to another, much time is lost because
of differences In classilfication and
cataloguing. In this connection, two
subjects are to be considered: name
ly, to add the librarian and to aid the
public. These objects can be attained
only by arranging .the titles In some
systematic way. tWhen a library is
small and the books are registered
only as they are required, a visitor
can easily make his selection, especial
ly if he uses the library frequently.
But with a large libmrry, there must
be somethlng to aid him In selecting
ihvat he wants, some catalogues group
ing the books with their different sub
jects. Alter he selects it, the as
sistapt finds it. The American II
bmnr, however, is superior In this re
spect to. most of the libraries of Eu
rope. An Increasing number of them
are using the catalog.ing cards issued
by the library of congress. There Is
no doubt but within the neat decade
a hearty co-operation between the
great libraries will accomplish the de
sired result.

This aroused considerable speculation
on the part of at least one in the au
dience, who arrived at the conclusion
that, so far as the most pathetic thing
In domestle life is concerned, it Is a
close race between the following:
A pair of broken suspenders.
A phdnograph.
Wife's first l.lsoults.
A gas meter that will not work.
A child of an afternoon bridge fiend.
A lead pencil sharpened by your
wife.
Daughter's first singing lesson.
A deserted seitch hanging on a nail
in the clothes press.
Lawn mower returned by neighbor
(if any).
A Fold pancake.
Uncle Henry's white vest with a
streak of catsup on it.

Stung.
One day f met a maiden fair,
Wtt, golden loeki berond compare;
I wrote an ode upon her halt,
Enthralled quite, by her tresses rare.
Her guileless ways did me ensnare.
I lost my heat, but didn't care.
I called one fatal morning where
She lived to lay my secret bare
All unnnnunced by trumpets' blare;
To an again I'd never dare
F.orwhen I met her on the stair
Her charming trenses were not there;
She'd left them hanging on a chair
,mS.Ewhere.
