Arctic Night.
Viewed solely os a matter of optics,
; Hip Arctic night is as dark as any
night. Explorers in high latitudes say,
however, that there are many allevia
tions of the obscurity. The stars flash
keenly, the moon comes along in a
regular succession of phases, the snow
surface relieves the glooui under con
ditions of the utmost absence of light,
and the aurora borealis is the finest
kind of illuminant. Explorers ail agree
that their men pass the winter night
without much difficulty if only there
are means of amusement.

EXPLAINS VOTE ON
PENITENTIARY BILL
(Continued from front page)
present law, as I do not believe i
a Minister of any standing,;
who believes in law, order and j
common decency, would desire !
to serve in an Institution under ;
the law as provided in the bill j
which passed.
This bill is also contrary to
the State Constitution, Article
16, Section 4, which provides
that the number and salaries
of the clerks and employees of
the different departments of
the State shall be fixed by law.
My contention is that they
need not have destroyed the
basic laws regulating the State
Penitentiary in order to carry
out the Platform of the Demo
cratic Party. The law could
have been amended removing
the present commission and
providing foran honorary board
without repealing all of those
important sections of the old
law, which guided the peniten
tiary boards and required them
to do certain things. If you
owned a house which was oc
cupied by an undesirable ten
ant, you would not destroy the
house in order to rid yourselfi
of the tenant, but would eject
the undesirable tenant from
the house by legal action and
replace him with another ten
ant and thus save your build
ing. The same is true in this
matter. The present Board
could have been removed and
the law regulating the Peni
tentiary left the same.
I voted against the measure
and opposed it on the floor cf
the Senate because I did
not believe it was right and I
do not believe that if it was left
to a referendum it would re
ceive ten per cent of the votes
in my district, if the people
knew the provisions of the bill.
It is one of the most loosely
drawn and vicious measures of
legislation that has been intro
duced in either House since I
have been a member of the
Legislature. I cannot and will
not support a measure of this
kind, though it may be indors
ed by the Governor or any
man or set of men. If the peo
ple in my Senatorial District
desire that legislation of this
kind be placed on the Statute
Books, I will gladly resign and
permit ‘them to place in the
Senate some man who is willing
to assume the responsibility of
such legislation, as I cannot
conscientiously do so. The only
way that I would be willing
to support a piece of legisla
tion so loosely drawn, contain
ing the provisions that this bill
carries would be to know that
Jesus himself was going to have
control of the administration
of the Act.
1 here are numerous reasons
that can be given for not sup
porting this bill. While it is
said that it was an Adminis
tration measure, the vote on
this bill does not show the sen
timent of the present senate
toward the present administra
tion. There are four members
of the Senate who supported
the present Governor in the
primary election when he was
nominated, and three of those
voted against this bill and the
fourth was absent and did not
vote at all.
1 write this article for the
purpose of informing the peo
ple as to why I opposed the
measure, as I felt like I might
be criticised for my vote unless
I gave my reasons for same.
Respectfully,
S. M. BONE.
8mall Daily Task.
Nothing surely Is so potent ns a law j
thnt may not he disobeyed. It hns the j
force of the water-drop thnt hollows
the stone. A small dally task, if It
be really dally, will beat the labors
of a spasmodic Hercules.—Anthony
Trollope.
Announcement of the “Books for
Everybody” Movement
Brings Letter Flood.
INFORMATIVE WORKS SOUGHT
Requests for Reading Matter Range
From Volume on Drainage to
Collins' "Book of the
Stars."
The announcement of the entrance
of the American Library Association
upon the "Hooks for Everybody” move
ment and still later news accounts of
tite activities of the organization along
these lines resulted in a widespread
appeal from residents of the rural dis
tricts of the country for books on farm
ing. Whether the American farmer is
s tnply evidencing his ambition to do
a good job better or whether the better
crops of his neighbor, who has attend
ed an agricultural college or school, lias
spurred him on is a matter difficult to
determine. But the fact remains tin
farmer is asking for books. The great
majority of American farmers are ei- |
•her without libraries and book service
or they are inadequately served.
One of the points which the Ameri
can Library Association in its “Books
for Everybody” movement is strongly
urging is the extension of the county
library system in states where enabling
acts have been passed—some twenty
one in number—and the proper legisla
tion in others which have not yet tak
en the step. The system, with its cen
tral library and radiating lines to sta
tions in the remotest sections of the
county, assures good books to every
man, woman and child who cares to
reach out a hand and grasp one.
Letters Show Need of Service.
Tin- American Library Association is
not giving its entire attention to the
urban dweller, nor is it neglecting the
centers of population for the rural dis
tricts and communities. It is, however,
unquestionably eager to create a steady
flow of informative reading to rural
America. That the need for such serv
ice exists and that it is anxiously
sought is evidenced in every letter of
this nature received by state library
commissions and by the A. L. A. A few
excerpts have been selected because
they seem to express most truly the
needs of thousands of others.
When Lydia Carlson, whose farm
is beyond Mason, WIs., asked for copies
of “Productive Farm Crops,” “Pro
duetive. Vegetable Growing" and “Prin
ciples of tiie Practice <>f Poultry Rais
ing" site echoed the book needs of tier
neighbors. Then she revealed the fact
:!.tt her eyes are not always lb the
fi.iTO". > by asking for a copy of Col
li, s' "Rook of tiie Stars."
