HARPER a. BROTHERS makes up great and
most valuable library in itself. Their now
old.time Library Of Select Novels" for
instance, was the largest and most varied
then published by n single house In our
language. When the fashion In books
changed, the Franklin Square Library"
in new form, maintained the standard OF
it's famous predecessor Then came the
HALF Hour Series" Of tiny books, de-
llghtful as artistic specimens Of bookmak-
ing and attractive In their contents. Tho
Students Series, the Anthem Classics and
dictionaries Of Latin and Greek nshered
the house into great business OF educa-
tional publication, so that its imprint
became familiar to every schoolboy and
college student The list of its general
publications is too long for specific men,
ton. 1t containing the most notable OF cur
rent literature and much OF the immortal
literature Of the past.

A Suggestion for the National Guard

As Secretary Roof points out in his re-
port, our method, upon tho outbreak of a
war. is and always will be to create an
army OF which the Regular Army on its
peace footing forms but part. and usually
but small part. while the great body OF
1t is composed Of volunteers. II is, accord
ingly, OF essential Importance that the rea-
tions between the Regulars and Volunteers
shall be such as to mako II q homogeneous
body, OF which the volunteer component,
no less than tho regular. shall be kept In a
state OF preparation during peace To that
end, therefore, he advises that at his pro-
posed War College, for the education Of
officers not already trained at West Point,
courses OF instruction shall be open to
officers OF the National Guard OF the
States and that the efficiency records Of
such Officers he made n part Of the records
OF the War Department as the authorized
and accepted basis Of appointments in any
volunteer force which may be raised.
AS he says the value and Importance OF
securing such information as to the capacity
and fitness OF civilians instructed In mill
tary Affairs and available for Volunteer
commissions, cannot be over-estimated. It
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1899-12-11

was we'll illustrated by the great advantage
which the War Department and the Presi-
dent had in appointing the officers OF the
Volunteer force by reason OF having In the
War Department the efficiency records OF
their service during the war with SPAIN
Without some such information, all names
are alike. When war has come, or Is immi-
nent, there is no time for examination or
investigation. There are too many officers
to be appointed in too short time
Accordingly, he would have efficiency
records secured, not only in war. but In
peace also.
All members OF the National Guard who
care rather for efficiency than for show
must agree with the Secretary. His sug-
gestion offers dignity to their service and
relieves It OF the aspersion OF being play
soldering only. 1t gives them distinct
and permanent place In the actual army OF
the United States and to their organization
a higher military character than 1t has ever
before had. It makes the National Guard
truly a training school for possible war,
more especially OF officers.
The feasibility OF the Secretary's plan
Is indicated by the circumstance that
officers OF some OF the State Naval Militia
have sought and obtained the privilege Of
attending the Naval War College at New
port. II a similar opportunity was offered
in the proposed War College. there Is
every reason to believe that 1t would be
proudly improved by many National Guard
officers. to the great advantage OF them
selves and their country.

The Failure OF Harper & Brothers.
The failure OF the famous publishing house
OF HARPER & BROTHERS deeply affected the
American public. HAMPERS was a time
honored name; generations had passed
away during its continuance and its imprint
on many books known to everybody had
been familiar to most OF the people
throughout their lives. The possible fall OF
this long-established house was not put
among the contingencies guarded against
by even the most wary creditors. When,
therefore, the announcement was made
last June that HARPERs was about to
join with much younger firm, there was
natural surprise, more especially as the
younger house seemed to assume 80 much
OF control OF the older as to suggest a COM
plete surrender to 1t. Unhappily that sim
lister view Of the situation was Justified tho
younger firm gave up its attempt to savo
the older, and the great house OF HARPER
4 BROTHERS failed.
The firm OF HARPER Il BROTHERS was
founded in 1917 by JAMES HARPER. With
his brother JOHN HARPER, he began the
printing and publishing business In that
year In Pearl street. Their first book was
an edition OF Seneca's Morals" with the
imprint u. and J. HARPER" the present
style OF HARPBR a BROTHERS not having
been adopted until 1888. The publication
OF Harper's New Monthly Magazine. 30 long
and 80 honorably associated with the
house. began in June, 1850, or nearly fifty
years ago. Harpers Weekly. founded In
1857, has not been less familiar throughout
this generation as one OF the most extern
sively circulated Of American papers, nota-
BILE for its steady improvement in pictorial
illustration as the art advanced. Then
came Hdrper's Basar. paper of fashion,
more distinctly, and the Round Table, a
paper for young people. which has lately
been discontinued.

Expansion In Arkansas.

The Hon. DANIEL W. JONES Governor OF
Arkansas, wants to succeed the Hon.
JAMES H. BERRY as a Senator In Congress
from that State. Mr.. BERRY is an opponent
OF expansion. Mr.. JONES had been sup
posed to be until he declared last week that
the salvation Of the South lies in expansion
OF commerce by the opening OF new markets
in the East to Southern products. and that
American control Of the Philippines il neces-
cary for the protection OF that commerce.
Both JONES and BERRY are orthodox Bryan
ties who dote upon the Chicago platform.
Both BERRY and JONES shudder at the
Octopus. Their difference Of opinion as to
expansion gives them living issue TO fight
over. Arkansas has not been a highly pro-
gressive State, but Il is waking up. The
most flaming hater Of the Money Power in II
would not object to becoming a plutocrat
by means Of zinc mines, for instance.
Its merchants do not find their condition
improved by the zeal wherewith its Legis-
lature harries capital. It's farmers must
dimly apprehend that even under the
blessed sway OF Sixteen to One market
for surplus products would be desirable.
It's manufacturers, comparing their present
day OF small things with the Industrial
wealth OF the North and with the brilliant
beginnings OF industrial enterprise in
other parts OF the South, must favor
any policy that seems likely to stimu-
late the demand for manufactured goods.
Governor JONES Is an experienced poll
tician. He has seen how long an echo
Senator MoRaAN's motto OF cotton and
expansion has had in the South. He has
seen Southern Senator after Senator forced
to admit the commercial Importance OF
expansion to the South-in short, the
triumph OF business over Bryanism. Why
should Arkansas lag behind Alabama and
South Carolina9 Governor JONES has taken
q shrewd step. The inveterate Bourbonism
OF Arkansas may defeat him. but ultimately
self-interest must bring her to his side
The undoubted growth OF Southern be-
lief in the advantage to Southern interests
OF American possession OF the Philippines
might set Col. BRYAN to thinking, II he
ever had time for process so superhuous
in his vocation.
