Consul General Du Bots. stationed at
st. Gall. reports that the Swiss press
contains frequent and intelligent arti-
cles concerning the public school sys-
tenn Of the United States, our colleges
and universities, our hospitals, our
asylums for the insane, blind, deaf and
dumb, and for those dependent upon
public and private charity for support.
To these institutions are given the
highest praise. Recently much has
been written about our public libraries.
In a late number Of the lausanne
Bibliotheque UnlverBelle ct Revue
Suisse an article was published by Mr..
Albert SchintE on libraries OF the
United States. He described the as
tonishing increase OF public libraries
In our country, and says that not only
does the United States publicly and
privately contribute FIVE times as much
annually for public library purposes
as any other nation In the world, but
Il spends nearly as much annually for
educational purposes as do England,
France and Germany combined.

The constitution Of the United States
declares that the vice president shall
be president Of the senate, but shall
have no vote, unless there is an equal
division Of It's numbers upon any meas
ure brought before il for decision. Such
a deciding vote is comparatively rare.
The breaking Of a tie, as was recently
done by Vice President Hobart, shows
that the supposition that the office is
unimportant, save in the contingency
where the incumbent is called upon to
succeed to the presidency, is entirely
superficial. 1t is quite within the pos
sibilities that an issue of the gravest
moment may be determined against
the judgment Of half the senate by the
vote of a person not a member and
personally obnoxious, and yet the IN
welcome defeat would come by a pro-
cess i%ndisputably constitutional. 1t is
never wise to regard any provision of
the constitution as a political trihe.

Volunteer Regiments Already Ordered
toh' Rle Are Now Full; eittt9t 10

" Washington, Aug. Returns re
ceived at the war department show
that more than enough enlistments
have been secured to fill the ten volun-
teer regiments. The ,adjitant gener-
ais prediction that the quota would be
filled has been verified, In fact the en-,
lisrments last Saturday brought the
number up to within eighty Of the to-
tai strength of the regiments.
With the exception Of the Twenty
ninth, Thirty-second, Thirty-third and
Thirty-fifth regiments all the volunteer
commands have, a surplus OF, recruits.
The recruiting win continue, not only
until the skeleton regiments formed in
the Philippines have, been filled out, but
FOR the purpose OF forming additional
Regiments, in case they shall be needed.
1t has not been determined just how
far the recruiting will be carried. That
is a matterfstili under consideration by
Secretary Root and his advisers, and
will depend on the developments in the
Philippines. If there is evidence of n
protracted campaign. ii is believed that
the full quota of $4,000 men will be re-
cruited and fresh troops sent to the
philippines to relieve those who have
been there for year or more.
Adiutant General Corbin said yes
terday that it had not been determined
what regiments would first be sent to
the Philippines, but that question
would be settled very soon. 1t can be
stated that all new recruits now en-
listed will be sent TO Manila by way of
San Francisco and the Pacific. Ii any
troops are carried by way OF the Suez
canal they will be reserves, organized
later. and sent on the transports Logan
and Thomas. now undergoing retitting
and remodeling at Cramps shipyard,
Philadelphia. II is the purpose TO get
the ten regiments now enlisted TO the
Philippines as rapidly as possible.
consequently the shorter and quicker
route across the Pacific will be chosen.
Secretary Root has telegraphed to
the governors of the states, asking
chem to name officers who have served
in the volunteer service. This. as the
telegram states. is for the purpose of
creating a reserve list from which Sc
lections can, be made in ease more reg
