The radical element which seeks independence has charged that Aguinaldo is’ thus placing an obstacle in the way of Filipino aspirations, through his friendship for Wood. To this Aguinaldo has replied that Wood is not against ultimate independ- mee, if the Filipinos seek it through cooperation instead of antagonism. Aguinaldo said: i : ’ . : (eter te eneseeeaetacate more and show more capacity for existence and | independence in winning Wood over to our side in- | stead of antagonizing him.” ; In this attitude the former revolutionary | leader shows good sense and his advice might well | be followed. | the road to absolute independence by violent talk er action agaitist the constituted authority of Uncle }Sam. The really patriotic element realizes that : American rule would be only nominal right now if | the agitators were eliminated. They also possibly | realize that the protection of the United States is | of more benefit to them than an unstab'e inde- ag pendence, menaced by political adventurers would ' Theoretically, the Filipinos should have com- plete independence. Practically, at this stage of + their development, it would probably prove to be sotheir ruin. PUBLIC LIBRARIES every kind should extend the Woman's Club every aid and cooperation possible in the maintainance of the public library in this city. Key West’s pub- lic library is not what it should be, and it is up to the people of this city to rally to its support, help | the. Woman’s Club to get this very essential in- | stitution upon a substantial, basis, raise its standard and increase its efficiency. Forty-five per cent of the American people have no access to any public library, according to a report presented before the Southeastern Library association. business-like. ginning that there must be a school in every town- ship, since education of the youth of the land is essential-to the success of a democracy. But education, properly conceived, does not stop when a child leaves school. It is only begun. There should be facilities everywhere, through which adults can keep educating themselves right along. The library is almost as essential as the school, and it is strange that so many American communities have not perceived that truth. We have in America millions of people whose minds are at a stage of arrested developnient. They ginning of education, which woke up their minds to a certain extent, but when they quit | school they quit learning, and settled down‘ into a state of mental inertia, which is harmful to their own chances for advancement, and which prevents them from developing into intelligent citizens. Public libraries operate to keep such people mentally awake and growing. Many of them of course would never take books out of such an in- stitution, and yet their children probably would, se that the family would constantly be rising to a higher level of intelligence. The states vary greatly in the amount of at- tention they have given to library development. Some states have placed a library in every’ town, while in some they exist only in a small proportion made a tion can not accurately measure the great bene-.

We need _2 nation wide movement to place a library in every town in America, which would mean a great deal for. national progress. Key West cannot expect to advance along all other lines if the constant’ cultivation of the in- tellect is neglected. Intelligent people visiting _Key West expect to find the library here that the i city could well afford. They are disappointed and often inconvenienced because they do not find it here. Every one appreciates the sacrifices made and the loyal service of tke present librarian and friends of the library, and visitors are surprised te learn that the institution has no regular and substantial backing worth mentioning. This state of affairs is a reflection upon Key West, roe it should, and could, easily be remedied, DID WE FIGHT FOR NOTHING? The impression seems to be entertained by a good many people, that the United States made its | vast effort and sacrifices in the world war mostly | for nothing. It is arguéd that we did not under- stand the conflict going on in Europe, that we were misled as to the purposes of our allies, and that things are no better now than they were at the istart, so that this country would much better have kept out’of the whole foolish strife. However, the German government neighboring countries contrary to its treaties, also ‘for’ years the German goyernment resisted all ef- forts ‘to weduce armament. That government pro- claimed the idea that nations attain prosperity only through ability to defeat their enemies in war. invaded . As long as such a government was in power over a country having such vast resources, and.go trained for military action, it was bound to be’a menace. It would keep adding new territory, and constituting more and more of, a menace. he | world could not make any substantial progress, so at least they have thoroughly got rid of menacing power. Nothing seems likely to take its | place. The Russian and Italian governments talk | in a menacing way, but their people lack the re- | | sources or desire to attack foreign powers. So | the world has reached the point where, if it will | just learn a few lessons from the recent war, it is | make substantial | in a position where it can progress. This result could never have been att: had | rot America made its great sacrifices. Time will | | show that these sacrifices paid. But considering | + all that has happened, it is not likely that the Unit- ed States will send an army to Europe again. ‘What this country needs is” a special days and weeks and refonus, regulations ‘ and regulators, snoopers and stool pigeons and big, bold bandits and calamity ‘howlers and deadbeats | and windy discussions on crime and is the world growing worse or better and Statesmen who are | only sorry imitations, and applesauce of all kinds —and other things.—Lakeland Leader. rest-——from * Reform is popular so long as it calls on some- one else to stop doing what thes hadn't orter. i .
