Sunday ordinance. We have no avail
able space this week for reviewing the
ground taken hy the opposing counsel
in their briefs, but we We're struck with
ono point in Judge Sims argument: that
plaintiff had not attempted to commit
the absurlity Of enjoining the District
Attorney from performing his official
functions iuasmuch rs it was only sought
to restrain him, rs legal adviser and

A Word To Temperance People.

L.
That is very poor statesmanshipl
which follows abstract theories to the
exclusion of practicability However
radical individual opinion may be,
Il must sometimes be subordinate to-
practical requirements. That princi-
p1e applies to the present political
temperance movement in this State.
Friends of Temperance, you know
that the time for such movement
has not come, if success is your wish.
You know that it is simply question
of Democratic or Republican success.
You know that ninety-nine hundreths
Of vour votes must be drawn from the
Republican ranks. You know that
the Republican party of progress, of
reform, the exponent of everything
Good in our National and State policy
for the last twenty years. You know
that if your present movement has
any effect, it must be the election OF
the Democratic ticket. The Demo
Gratis realize that. They are patting
you on the back; telling you to 'sgo
on" protesting the greatest friend
ship, when they really have about as
much affection for you as rabid dog
has for cold water Yet, knowing all
these things, your playing into the
to punish the Republican party, sim
ply because the convention failed 10
endorse policy conceded at present
TO be unpracticable, and which would
have resulted in certain and disastrous
defeat. You repudiate the Republi-
can party because it was not willing
to commit suicide, Before you aban-
don the party which has carried the
country so successfully for two de-
cades, ask yourselves this question !:
How much nearer success will we be
after We have placed the Democratic
party in poWer?- Central. ~

New State Building.

4 The State Historical Society ha
fissued circular III which it sets fortl
the dangers which may beset US a
any time and the loss that would b,
entailed to the state should our Capito
building burn down. They have no
room enough for the vast collections
being made and ask for the erection O.
building with sufficient room to
accommodate them. An appropriation
would meet but little opposition as
this institution is the pride of every
intelligent citizen in the state.
In speaking Of the newspaper files
it says: The newspaper department
the pride of our Library-has
more than doubled; for we have now
1864 bound newspaper files, cover
ing an eventful period of two centu-
ries, including some fifteen volumes
of DIR. Franklin's old Pennsylvania
Iu@etCe IrUm 1909 ~ IrU0." 10
confessedly one of the largest and
most valuable newspaper collections
in the country. A few years since,
the late John Wingate Thornton,
one Of the ablest antiquaries of New
England, declared that not one of
the great Libraries Of Boston had a
collection equal to ours. Of the to-
tai number of ouC files, Ga volumes
pertain to the seventeenth century,
475 to the eighteenth, and 1915 to
the nineteenth. Tt would be difficult
to over estimate the value of these
historical treasures; and if once de
stroyed, it would be utterly impossi-
Die to replace them.' The society
is advocating the erection of a
fre-proof building, to cost about
$4,000. This they propose being
raised by the Legislature, by three
seperate appropriations each year.
This, they claim, will hardly be felt
by the taxpayers, and will give to
the state building that the people
viii justly be proud OF. Correspond
ence has been opened with all the
prominent men of the state, all
warmly expressing the opinion that
the state should make safe and AIDE
quate accommodations for the socie-
ty. The Historical rooms are always
visited by persons going to Madison
and never fail to inspire all with en-
thusiasm.
