mr.. mcEwan on the message.

The Hon. Thomas McEwan has ex-
pressed a favorable opinion of the Presi-
dents Message, and so the country is
safe. We find what he has to say in the
saTrue Americans Washington letter of
the 9Th. Here it Isl
1.-THE feature relating to the Presidents
message that seems to me to be the most
remarkable is the unanimity of express
sions of satisfaction about it. It seems
to meet the approval of Republicans OF
all shades. This remark applies to all
sage. The currency, Cuban affairs and
Nicaragua Canal, are all treated in a
way that is most unusual. We seldom
find that a paper that is moderate is yet
strong. This charaeterizes the message.
1t is not the cry of a weak man, wait
and see.' 1t rather is that of one who
is in possession of all the facts and yet
says everything is going just as l in
tended. Let it keep on its course; its
speed is just what was intended. A real
captain, knowing the courses, having MS
eye on the chart and his hand on the
wheel, says AIS WELL.
The feature relating to the above in
terview, which we admire most, is the
acute perception on the part of our brill
liant Congressman, which it exhibits. He
must nave remarkable powers VI opsei-
walton to detect all these Expressions or
satisfaction" which have escaped every
one else. We were, ourselves, rather I'M
der the impression that the message had
given almost unanimous dissatisfaction,
and especially in the Republican party.
1t was weak on Dingleyism, shifty on the
currency, sun-American(D' on Cuba, and
absolutely silent = funereally silent - on
pensions. What was there in it for any
plain, common, ordinary, everyday Re
publican to be satisfied with?
But Mr.. McEwan is blessed with a fac
ulty for enthusiasm which is ~unhampered
by actual conditions. His instincts prompt
hin at certain times to bubble and glow
with a sort of holy joy, and his graceful
gift of language always enables him to
translate his feelings into thrilling Eng
iish prose. His gift of being enthusiastic
under the most trying circumstances
makes him absolutely priceless as a party
"rooter,y and no amount of postoffices
that can be placed at his disposal can
fully compensate for the volume and in
tensity of his eagle screams.

PROPOSED Copyright outrage.

According to an Associated Press de-
Bpatch, n. g. Nash, librarian of Stanford
University, and ]. C. Rowell, librarian of
the University of California, are at work
on a scheme which If carried out will
materially change the copyright laws of
the country and at the same time build
up large national libraries in a number Of
the big cities of the United States.
The plan is to require authors obtain
ing the protection of a copyright to sup
ply copies of their work to several de-
positories located in cities in different
sections of the country. Senator Perkins
States Senate. It will direct the estab-
lishment of additional repositories in the
cities of Chicago, Denver, San Francisco
and New Orleans.
No scheme could well be more con-
demnable. 1t is contrary to all justice
and good policy to make copyright ex-
pensive. 1t is placing a tax upon brains.
It is to make it expensive for authors to
secure thai ownership in their productions
which a tinker or a tailor is guaranteed
by the common law, without expense.
The more the scheme described above is
examined, the more outrageous it appears.
Some books are produced at enormous ex-
pense. They cost hundreds of dollars. 1t
is almost a prohibitive tax on these to de-
post the single copy now required for the
Congressional library. The demand for
several copies would make their pubiica-
ton impossible, and all high-class pub
fishing would be banished from this coun-
try to Europe, where legislation is man
aged by men of common sense and not
by idiotic cranks
The injustice of building up Libraries in
the proposed way at the expense Of au-
thors is all the more manifest when we
consider tina the libraries are the au-
thor's greatest enemy. The ordinary
author would. If 1t were possible. do any
thing to keep his book out Of the libraries,
for the-more library circulation 1t has.
the less are his sales.
