A Few Words on Books.

A good remark somebody made once
is that if you own books you do not
have to read them. That is, if you hear
of a certain book, you say: L must get
that out of the library and read it," If
you do, it is necessary to read 1t at
once and return it. If you can buy it,
you read what portion satisfies your
particular want at the moment and then
it stands among your other good
friends, always ready, like any real
friends, to serve you at a moments no.
tce in any way it can. Indeed, ii is
real friend, because it never deserts
you, never goes back on you, never
changes, unless somebody borrows it,
and that is not the books fault. The
mere fact that your room is filled with
books is a good kind of influence, for
there is something in the mere proximi-
ty of books that makes a chap serious
occasionally, and induces him to sit
and ponder once in a while in the midst
of his grind, his sport, his daily work
and his other and less valuable friends
at school or college.
Then. too. in these days, when there
are so many hundreds of books a year
and 50 many millions already published
it is utterly impossible to try to Rad
as the old fellows in the later Middle
Ages used to, everything that is pub
| lished 1t is far better to re-read some
good familiar things again and again.
! They are good books, they are your es-
| pecial favorites. and you will seldom
| fail to find something new in them each
time you read them. 1t gives you a
| little idea of how much the writing of
| them must have meant to their author
| if you read them, say, twenty times,
and still go on finding something you
had not succeeded in discovering in
them before-Harper's Round Table.

In the Duckworth scandal case the
Assembly Committee of Investigation
has agreed to report that the Chief
Clerk was guilty of the acts charged
against him; that the stuffed roll of
temporary House employees resulted IN
drawing from the State Treasury mon
ey wrongfully, and that it ought to be
returned by its recipients. 1t censures
Clerk Duckworth, but finds no law for
his punishment, and turns the whole
matter over to the Assembly for action.
This will probably be the end of the
matter AS to the recommendations con-
corning punishment of Clerk Duck
worth. it is a matter Of doubt If any
thing will be done. Assuredly, If the
House wishes, it can vacate the office
and fill it with another person. At the
same time let the House ask itself IN
what way and to what extent will it
punish itself for permitting the job to
have beeh put through the Assembly
with it's full knowledge, and against
which knowledge no plea will avail,
that the payroll was a job and a rake
down."

GENERAL WESLEY MERRITT
Will Probably Soon Take Command
of the D partment of the East.

Some important changes will take
place in the United States army in the
spring. 1t is probable that Major Cen

Department of the Missouri, Will be
promoted to the command of the De-
partment of the East to succeed Ger
eral Thomas H Kruger, who will be le-
tired from service in April. General
Ruger will have reached the age limit.

AN ECONOMIC PROPOSITION.
The Lassen Mail" saws:

The Record Union" deserves credit
for the persistency with which it is
hammering away at the proposition to
establish a State conStabulary. 1t has
shown by facts and figures that five
experienced detectives, one being a
chief centrally located and the other at
distant points, having authority TO call
upon and cooperate with the Sheriffs,
Constables and police officers through
out the State, can >be salaried and all
their expenses met for not more than
$4,000 a year, and that they would
save to the counties of the State an
nually thrice that sum by depressing
crime, in rendering the escape of GRIM
inals unlikely and by bringing Of
tenders to punishment. Take, for ex-
ample, the case of Durham, who in one
night eXterminated a family in the
Santa Clara Valley. The deed was COM
mitted in a thickly inhabited section,
the murderer was we'll known, and yet
he succeeded in making his escape, al
though the Sheriff and his deputies We're
on his track within a few hours after
the commission of the crime. There IS
large standing reward for his APP
prehension, but so far as results are
concerned, it may as We'll never nave
been offered And this is but one of
dozen similar instances that could be
mentioned. Is it quite plain that there
is something seriously at fault in our
criminal system?
This is not a new thing with the
| Record L niOn." 1t pointed out the
| advantages and economy of a State
constabulary system fifteen years ago,
and several times since has presented
| the subject 1t believes that it Will
after a time become a matter Of con-
viction with the people, and then the
system will be established. Statistics OF
cost of the present want of system IN
pursuing criminals and making CELEBRITY
and certainty of punishment deterrent
| influence is perhaps four times as great
as will be the cost of the five State Con-
stables, to say nothing of the gain to
society by the greater certainty OF cap
| ture and of conviction.

General Merritt is enc of the most
popular commanders that the depart

graduated from West Point in ISol.
During the civil war he gained for
himself a name that forms part OF the
impershable history of this country.
General Merritt was born in New York
City and is about 80 years old, hence
he has about five years to serve before
