LI- Til 12 swift expansion and widen ing nctlvltlcs of tho Mnrahflold Public Library afford gratify ing evidence of tho growth of the higher life of tho community. Tho Work It docs Is second In Importance to t lint of no other cultural agoney In the city. I Jut tho public In Ken- oral has only the slightest realiza tion or tno meaning, methods nnd results of tho library movement. Tho public library docs much mora than merely ncttilre, houso nnd b n (1 out books. It creates love for literature. It trains tho tnsto for reading. It works with tho schools, It directly aids tho curpon Icr who wishes to ply his craft moro Intelligently, tho boy or girl who wants hlntH nnd helpH on gardening, tho housewife who would run tho homo moro scientifically, the moth er who desires to know tho most ad vanced features of babyology, tho aiudout dolvlng In tho mines of hnowlodge. It serves tho teachers tind ovoryono who will avail himself of Its advantages. Tho library Is the university of modern domocracy. It Is a social mill Intollbclual renter. It Is an ndvortlslng agency of the progress of scholarship, sclenco uinl technical vocations. It Is an active assistant of women's clubs. In flno, the library Ix a workshop of culture ami a servant of society. It complements tho service of tho school and of tho church, and touch es the community's best life at ev ery point. The librarian Is nu ovaii KhIIbI of learning and the librarian nnil tho Institution are part of the rndlant promise of American democracy. THLIlh ARK a number of big words that do not mean anything Just becnusotlioy menu too much. Most of the words wo spell with capi- i .. i aru only lIg.h B.ounllng names. They are so general that thero is no definite reality back of them. "Progress" Is ono of these big words. To bo sure there Is nvoltitlnn rlmmm ,.. ,t. i., n ti. i. r , u solf Is evolution. Life never stands still, never reponts Itself, and Is for cvor groping Its way toward some flying goal that we" can only half guess, i Pi rOR.ro?8 In Bonoral simply moans "Llfo." It menus that all living Hut Just the moment you try to mako the word mean anything defi nite nnd concrete you arc In n fog. Progress means opposite things to different people. Everyone thinks It means something different. Wo can never agreo ns to Just what Prog ress Is Everyone thinks Ills own Idea of progress Is the only progress and nil of It, and all the rest are reactionaries.

No ono believes In n lost cause. When tho believers In any theory hopo to seo their Idoal established, they call that bono "Progress." Everybody thinks ho Is n true progressive. Ono man thinks that Socialism Is progress; nnothor thinks that prog ress means Individualism. Ono Is convinced that "free thought" Is progress; another Is Just ns suro that ovangollsm Is progress. Ono bolloves thnt prohibition Is progress, nnd nnothor doflncs prog ress as moro "porsonnl liberty."

Ho will nlso havo faith that In tho long run thnt Idea which works best for all will bo established, no matter what It Is called, or who ad vocates it.

Commenting on tho fact that the HbornlH had lout several by-elections, nil or th m because of n split In tho liberal raukH, ho snld: "It In time that state of things enmo to an end. We must not al low ourselves to bo troubled by trivial differences. When united wo nro Irr'Blstlble." Thero nro too many trivial illffer oncca In tho progressiva ranks, and yet thoy nro differences thnt stand In tho way of success nt the polls this fall, two years from now, and oven four years after that, If nothing Is dono to bridge them. An unanticipated business strin gency may middoiily dissolve the whole dlfflciitly. Hut barring thnt, no outsldu agency h ems likely to co erce tho progressives into harmony. They must work It out themselves. Hnctcrlologlsts say that kiss- I lug must go. It already goes with 8omo Coos Hay girls. 4 Tho average Coos Ray girl has a good many fnlBo alarms beforo she finally meets her Into. The manner In which somo Coos liny women ndopt tho latest rashloiiB Indicates that we are never tno old to learn the latest wrinkle.
