CONSERVE LIVES OF CITIZENS, rriHE recent declaration nf rir Min I gus In The Times favorable to a iii.iuu.it uuiiiu 01 neaiin is 1 11 lino with popular sentiment. When President Taft in a recent speech mentioned tho Idea of a federal bu reau of health, tho audience burst into applause. It did so not once, but repeatedly; and the idea was one of the few that the immense audience applauded. Mr. Taft seemed to be surprised by the popularity of the ieda. Many of the senators at Washington, where Senator Owen of Oklahoma lately in troduced a bill for the establishment of a national health department, would hnvo been actunlly surprised. But nobody should be, for the need of such a bureau is great and tho idea is neither novel nor unpopular. nThe need of a federal bureau of health is suggested by the enormous influx of immigrants, COO, 000 pre ventable deaths annually In tho Uni ted States and the advantage of co ordinating stato and city boards of health under a national organization. President Roosovolt indorsed tho Idea and recommended It to congress for adoption. President Taft in turn followed suit. Medical associations all over the country have gone on record In Its favor. Organized effort ijy tho federal administration to con sorvo tho lives of citizens as well as natural resources would bo not only wise but popular. i transportation, and finally as an ajtt3 Ic adornment of the whole coun .. which nothing else can equal. As people we are not taking the matter of our need for good roads with half enough seriousness. It 13 one of those great questions which does not conio near enough to many of us Individuals to awaken that personal Interest which stimulates tho average American citizen to ac tion. May the time speedily come when, as a people, we shall be lifted above the pJane of self Interest and will be able to see matters of Infinite ly greater importance than anything ihat merely concerns our personal selves, those things of great import ance which have to do with the de velopment of our whole Nation. THE NEW LIUUAItV. ARLYLE said that the modern university consists of a great col lection of books. Turn this half-truth end to end and Is becomes the truth that a library rightly managed is tho people's uni versity. The action of tho Marshfield li brary committee is providing the reading room with current periodi cals is a step in the right direction and will tend to popularize the insti tution from the start. The value of the Marshfield public library will be greaty enhanced by an extension of the privileges of a well provided reading room. It is to be hoped, also that tho policy of the new library will, like all other towns west bf the Rocky moun tains, be to have open shelves and give tho people free access to Its books. The experience of Portland, San Francisco, Seattle and Tacoma proves that the public can be trusted with its own property. The sense of trusteeship on the part of the users of the books is so strong that few books aie lost and scarcely any stolen Making the people at home with their books is one of the ways in which Marshfleld's library may be made "the people's university" and a real success from its inauguration. What, to &afc '; - FREIGHT RSI G Railroads Raise Tariffs From ' Middle West to Both Coasts. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C, April 30.

MOT BADLY AMERICAN HIGHWAYS. IT) WAS said that when William E. Gladstone ioso to speak, nil tho world stopped to listen. Thero is a figure just now of that samo com manding distinction Colonel Theo dore Roosovelt of the United States. -And tho Information now comes tlmf it Is part of Colonol Roosevelt's plan during his brief stay In' Europe to recommend tho limitation of the ar mamonts of tho world. Whatovor Mr. lioosovelt may havo to say on this subject, ho will rocolvo profound and respectful attention. Tho recoinmoiid ntlon will bo mado not only in tho interests of tho world's peace, but also in tho behalf of the economical -Holfnry of tho nations. A recent magazine- nrticlo states that Ainorlcan warships to tho value or $C0,735,7S1) aro soon to go to tho scrap heap, because they are now obsololo and worthless. This loss Is enormous, nnd what Is worse, it Is a loss without compensation.

The funeral of Frank Lewis wrigut, the young man who was killed at the mill in an accident, a week ago, was held from the Wilson Undertaking Parlors yesterday at 2 o'clock, under the auspices of tho Christian Church. The high esteem in which Mr. Wright was held by those who knew him was strongly evidenced by the large crowd that gathered to pay their final tribute of respect, the par lors, halls and chapel were filled to overflowing and scores could not get in.

Somebody's Darling. Matted and damp are the curls of gold Kissing the snow of the fair young brow. Pale are the lips of delicate mould Somebody's darling is dying now. Back from the beautiful blue veined face, Brush every wandering silken thread, Cross his hands as a sign of grace. Somebody's darling is still and dead. Kiss him once for somebody's sake. Murmur a prayer soft and low. One bright curl from the cluster take; They were somebody's pride you know. Somebody's hand had rested there Was It a mother's, soft and white? And have the lips of a sister fair Been bnptised in those waves of light? God knows best, he was somebody's love, Somebody's heart enshrined him there, Somebody wafted his name above, Night and morn on tho wings of prayer. Somebody wept when ho marched away, Looking so handsome, bravo and grand. Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay, Somobody clung to his parting hand.
