TRAVELLING LIBRARY WORK.

N EPEATEDLY of late we have directed atten- D ton to the benefits resulting from the travelling library system in operation in several of the Eastern States and return to the subject because the New fork State Library has just issued report which in a striking shows the usefulness of the system to the general public.
 The proof of the usefulness is the growing popular demand for the books which the State library circu lates The report states that during the twelve months covered by it the library sent out 5000 per cent more books to institutions students and general readers than in I88o A development of that kind is something stupendous It is of the facts that i'm press even the most indifferent mind With such an increase of circulation that can any longer question that American communities desire access to standard books and that State libraries virtually buried unless they used storerooms from which the people of all parts of the State obtain the works they need in their studies
 In commenting upon this proof of the widespread demand for books and upon what the State library has accomplished in meeting the demand the report says: While we are so much gratihed with what has recently been accomplished in this great field those who best understand its possibilities realize that this work is now only well begun The public de manding more and because they are learning that it is possible through the State library and home education department to more help education ally than has before been afforded by equal expenditure of time and money"
 The record is indeed one of which the New York State Library may be proud and which the people of that State may be congratulated. California should be reused by 1t to vigorous emulation. We have a people as intelligent as those of New York and a State library second to none in the Union. With us, however, there is connection between the library and the reading public The use of the books has increased with 5000 per cent since I88o is doubtful if it has increased 3 per cent. We need a travelling library system more than New York needs it. and the trustees of the State Library should take steps to provide one.

there should be sure punishment, no matter who the guilty one is
 We would be glad to impress the importance of this matter upon the people. continuance unchecked, ot these forest fires in the mountains means change Tn our climate, the dehydratng of the soil of the valleys and finally the conversion of the State into desert
 All this is experience, not theory. The several stages in the process have been undergone in Mon tenegro and on the Austrian shores of the Adriac, Iii the Vosges Mountains in France, in the Bavarian lyrol and in many other parts of the world. We may heed the lesson they teach and be wise in time, or We may be foolish and wastefu in our day and generation and become the curse of our near pos terity.

WELLS-FARGO AND WAR.

Q be forced to announce that the Wells Fargo
 Express Company still persists in it's scheme to
 evade payment of its share of the war tax is not a pleasant duty It had been hoped that its course inadvertent that when attention had been called to the circumstance that its action was both illegal and unpatriotc it would hasten to correct its policy The hope vain. The corporation has been given time to demonstrate that selfish the core cares nothing for the protection the Government throws about it, takes note of the fact that by reason of the 1t has increased revenue
 But since Wells Fargo, having been pointed the way lead better e has refused to make amove in the proper direction, there remains the duty of lend ing it impetus sufficient carry 1t out of the ways of sin. Merchants of Los Angeles have already taken steps to lead the errng corporation to sense of its unrighteousness. They object reasonably to paying in addition to their own taxes, the tax the Govern ment meant the wealthy corporation to pay and have started the matter in the direction of the courts There will be both civil and criminal proceedings Merchants of San Francisco take a similar view of the position of the company, and the company will soon realize this There is excuse for delay in the making of test case.
 United States District Attorney Foote seems in cned to hold back and let precedent be estab- lished elsewhere There is better place than within his jurisdiction for the establishing of a precedent Every day action is deferred additional gain to the corporation, and possession being SO many points of the law, all the money unlawfuly wrested from the public will be devoted to the swelling of Wells Fargo dividends and be returned to the public from which it is being taken without war rant of statute or equity Mr. Foote should press the matter at once There are other corporations need ing lesson, but this express company being the most fragrant offender, might proftably be employed ae the necessary "terrble example"

A PARROT
 FOR THE CHASING.
4oU4Uu q q q q

day an announcement was made to every habitue of the Palace Hotel that there was a parrot on the fifth floor that could be had for the asking. The news spread faster than electricity, and in less than an hour at least 100 soliciting parrot maniacs applied for ownership rights over the green-feathered bird. Perhaps the reason of this anxiety to possess the talk ing creature is due to the reputation tho bird bears. It was spoken of as a terror that never let a word that could be found in decent literature pass its mouth. What ever the impelling force that drove so many applicants into the Palace to secure the parrot the fact remains that a steady stream of strangers and hotel frequent CTS were out after that living object. And they all had run for their money" First the hotel clerk would direct them to the fifth floor. The bell boy would then play his hand and the parrot-seeker would be sent to the third floor. Miles of ter ritory would be covered and when at las, a person was found who would acknowl- edge possession of the parrot the visitor was told that he must have a cage to deport 1t. Out of the hundred applicants at least sixty toured the hotel. Even tho "unbunkoable' hotel clerk fell victim to the parrot-chasing disease. Three OF them, distinguished looking gentlemen in gray, the young and handsome and beau tifully mustached clerk who goes East on a vacation every year, and the gen. tie, polite and obliging night clerk werc on the lookout for that parrot. Heated arguments were bandied back and forth as to who rightly deserved the parrot
 Finally word came down from the fifth floor that If any one brought a suitable cage or anything that answered the pur- pose of cage they could have the par.
 rot. The clerks on duty fell over ono another to find something for the de- portation of the bird Coal oil cans with holes punched in them was the substitute they discovered. The three rushed to floor five, the cans rattling as they passed in whirlwfnd fashion through the halls. The bell boy on that floor rolled over in
