In tle discussion Of this bill IN the senate
Yesterday the senator from Kansas seized
The opportunity To utter some very pretiy
sentenc,s against tie iurther Location NJ The
entrance OF the rIgrnds on Prnusy wanna
avenue oi the group of siatunry there stu
ated. Il Is a fac work Of art. but a iuneral
nile. aud II would be difficult to say Why u
was placed NJ the western entrance 10 toe
capitol grounds. Perhaps 1t has to repre-
sent the sorrow ot the nttion under the nee
essary nl,ctiOu Just above IN the CAPITOL. 10

is c'%ncerned, II seems TO me that u hould
be removed a. once TO some adj .cent GENE

upon some grassy lain by a eth sheet Of

DECEPTIVE A~PPEARANcrs
In the case OF this particular senator
from Kansas, out Inrd appearances ce!.
taiuly iail. He Is thin, very thin, ana
eliminate looking, wears EYEGLASSES, paris
his hair iu the middle and has the resLll-
ton dude coat. In TACT he looks decidedly
on the order OF the dude, but there the
analogy tops. Brilliant. w-ll-read, afgres-
siye. . fluent and elegant speaker, with q
fuIl lelsant voice aud sufficient eHthusl-
ssni t. command after tlon, he ~ q snnug
man ia the national s-utti and is growing
in reput on cob,ts u ~. 1t Is u grea'
pity for bo h the den ocrsoy and Mr.. IT,
gals that he Is not "a good democra'.
Another import ant matter under discns'
sion in the senate and growing
out OF want Of room IN the
capital building is the proposition TO erect
east of the Gspital but In easy reach u grand
f~re-prool library building. The congress
sional library constantly increasing In Vel.
ne and volume is now one among me grea'
libraries Of the world and ceItinIy thc
ricb.st treasure OF the kind IN the nav
world. II was commenced IN $500 but wss
DESTROYED with the capital in 1914 in the
war with England. Afterwards IL Was 70
plecished by the purchase OF the Jenefson
library of 1000 volumes. In 1901 II con
tanned some 55, 900 volumes but an hcei'
dental Are sgsin reduced its size. IL II re-
cruited annually by appropriations ny con
eress averaging about $4,000 and by add
lions received by copyright. by EXCHANGE,
aud from the Smithsonian Institute. ltls
now claim,d TO contain over $4,000 books
and about lG5,GOO ~psmphl-ts not half Ut

now placed. 1t is Tor this reason th,t
