CAMPAIGN IN THE THIRD.
Lewis Election Predicted-POlitics
in Sumter County.

IN sumter COunty.
Americus, Ga. May 1.-THE red hot
congressional campaign In the Third dis
trfct practically ended Saturday with the
debate between Hon. f. 3. Lewis and
Judge Allen Fort and the battle of bal
lots on Tuesday will determine the result
The campaign has been one Of extreme
bitterness and acrimony. and its terminal
ton will prove a relief and blessing.
AS to the result, there can be but little
doubt, as Mr.. Lewis reelection seems as
sured. His close friends, speaking ad-
visedly, declare that he will easily carry
nine of the thirteen counties OF the dis
trict, and also has a lighting chance In
two others. On the other hand Judge
Forts friends still express hope of sue
cess, and profess 10 believe that he will
have the requisite eighteen votes in the
convention. Fort will make a fight
in Lewis home county. Macon, while hun
dreds of Lewis ballots will be cast here
in Sumter, where Judge Fort resides In
terest and excitement is still at white
heat, and the people of the Third district
will be glad when the campaign ends with
Tuesdays primary. There has been a
large registration for the primary, the to-
tai reaching 1,400 voters.
In the selection of two members of the
Legislature for Sumter the fight will be
upon prohibition lines only, this being
the only issue involved despite the fact
that this is dry" county already. and
will be for the next two years, at least
The legislative candidates are w. T.
Lane, B. l.. Joiner, C. S. 8. Horne w
A. Webb, and e. c. Speer, the latter be-
ing the only open and avowed anti-pr,-
htbitionist. Both prohis and ants very
generally conce<fe the reelection Of Mr.
Lane, while the fight for second place
among the four other candidate is quite
spirited. Mr.. Lane is an ardent "prohi"
but an able man withal. and will draw
votes from both sides. Hon. J. T. Hayes

Police Needs

Major Sylvester's reQuisition for an in
crease in the police force In his annual re-
port to the Commissioners. represents one
of the standing needs of the District There
has never been a time in at least twenty
years. IL ever, when the police force has
been adequate The city's area Is large
There is no congestion of population, as in
some other cities, where the ratio of police
to population can safely be kept at a rela-
lively low point. The Washington patrol
man has a long beat, and in many places q
lonely. dangerous one. 1t Is often neces-
sary, for the sake of security to double the
patrsI. But this requires a much larger
force than Is available. and In consequence
there are many beats which are not prop
erly covered. The recent rapid development
of the suburban sections has complicated
the police problem, already difficult, until
II Is imperative that Congress should re-
spord to the call for more policemen In a
spirit of greater liberality than heretofore
Nor Ia 1t mere liberality which the District
expects. but just measurement of the
local needs by the congressional commit
tees.
One phase of the local police situation
Congress. The government has here es-
tablished properties worth many millions
of dollars. The public buildings are Of
course guarded from within and some Of
the public parks equally guarded by
federal officers. But the responsibility de-
volving upon the municipal policeman as
result of this enormous governmental
establishment Is but little diminished ~

Coal and Cooperation.

A correspondent writes today to the star
expressing the hope that the coal consu'1-
ers of Washington. while contemplating
their own wrongs and the suggestion OF
forming a cooperative association. will not
overlook the wrongs and woes OF the miners
and will not deny TO them the same right
of organization fer protective purposes.
This seems rather a superfuous suggestion.
The coal miners appear TO be very effect
lively organized today. Their union has tied
up the anthracite industry tighter than
ever before in it's history. Indeed, with
the operators standing a unit and the
strikers presenting an unbroken front. the
only factors in the equation without or
ganizati ton for self-protection are the con-
sumers They have no union, they are not
responsible for the troubles at the mines.
and yet today they are paying the cost or
the strike, in increased prices, low supplies
and bitter anxiety. The coal consumer Is
far from denying any one the right to Or
ganize.

MI Wellington has returned from his
stumping tour in the west full of conf
dence In the November result. He tells a
representative Of the Washington Post that
he found the people thoroughly aroused
and that MS receptions were enthusiastic
He sums W. follows:
In my judgment. Bryan will be elec. ed
| think that the middle west will go for
him. and that when the electoral college
Is poiled he will get the necessary number
OF votes. | have rot the slightest doubt
that Mr. Bryan will carry Maryland. The
sentiment in the state. and l have sounded
II thoroughly, is greatly in favor Of the
democratic candidate. There are hun
dreds and hundreds of old time republica ms
who Will leave the party this fall and rote
the democratic ticket. On the other ha Id
there will not be a handful of democrats
who Will fail to stand by their party s
nominees. J think that Bryans majority
in my native state will be anywhere from
Eco TO 20.NO0.'

Evening star., 1900-10-13
Chairmen Hanna and Jones.

AS Chairman Hanna finds time for the
stump. why not Chairman Jones? The
duties of the one craftsmanship are no more
arduous than those of the other. Why
does not Mr.. Jones put on a SUBJ at head
quarters. as Mr.. Hanna does, and go out
and talk to the people?
The inquiry is all the more pertinent by
reason of the fact that Mr.. Jones, unlike
Mr.. Hanna is a trained public speaker.
He Is, indeed. one of the best speakers in
his party. Not an orator In any sense. he
is yet very ready and fluent. and he has a
good voice and most agreeable presence.
He has been in Congress for nearly twenty
years, and prominent In both houses. He
shared with Mr.. Vest the duty of meeting
all comers when the Germany Wilson tariff
bill was passing through the Senate: and
he acquitted himself fully to the satisfac-
tion of all his party associates in that body.
Mr.. Jones. therefore, would be entirely at
home on the stump, and would be certain to
draw large crowds.
Mr.. Hanna on the other hand, is new in
the traces. He found his voice, indeed,
only last spring. and by a sort of accident.
He was enrolled among the silent men in
the Senate, and nobody expected to hear
him in the debates at all, when one day
Mr. PettlSreW directed some remarks OF
rather a personal nature at him. A reply
was necessary, and Mr.. Hanna. with some
show Of trepidation, arose to make 1t. To
his own surprise. as he afterward con-
fessed no less than to that of the Senate,
he soon found himself at ease on his feet.
and his friends congratulated him on his
effort. Encouraged thus. he spoke again in
the armor plate debate. and SO has de-
veloped into a spelbinder. 1t Is said that
he likes the excitement. and he probably
has reason to believe that his speeches, de-
livered as they are on business topics to
business men and wage-earners, help his
party.
Now. why could not joint debate be ar
ranged between Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Hanna?
Why not bring the campaign to an end
with rattling trial of conclusions on the
stump between the two chairmen? Both are
plain direct men. They would prove good
drawing card together. Let one meeting
be appointed for New York, another for
Chicago. another for Indianapolis. and an
other say for Baltimore, with business as
the topic. Who will second the motion?
Evening star., 1900-10-13
Books for the People,

Librarian Putnam's remarks about the
circulation of books among the people of
Washington are most pertinent in view of
the fact that a campaign for securing a
proper provision for the maintenance OF
the Washington Public Library Is now
opening. Mr.. Putnam calls pointed atten-
ton to the fact that the Congressional
Library IS. for circulating purposes-ths
supreme test OF library's usefulness IN
the community-of no value to the capital.
The few privileged official classes are an
infinitesimal fraction of the population.
The great mass of the people are prac-
tically without library facilities. The nine
teen thousand books in the Public Library
are but the prOverbial drop in the bucket"
The reference uses TO which the Congress
sional Library can be put do not meet the
most urgent needs of the people. Fortu-
nately Mr.. Putnam recognizes these facts
and is evidently an earnest advocate of
liberal provision by Congress for the Public
Library, which. when properly equipped
with books, will constitute a valuable
circulating adjunct to the greater reference
collection on the HILL
Mr.. Putram asserts that the estimates
for the Public Library are far too low
This fact has always been realized by
those in charge of the institution but they
have learI ed from observation and ex-
perience that 10 ask at once for all that is
needed In every branch Of library develop
ment is not, in view of the condition CT
District finances and OF the economical
tendencies of appropriations committees, as
productive of actual appropriations as the
course which has been pursued. The
librarian does not hold out much hope that,
upon invesi igation. many surplus duplicates
win be found in his charge as a result OF
the copyris hit law. His preliminary doubt
upon this subject may. however, be dis
PEELED when full investigation is made. Or,
II necessar.-. suitable and effective amend
Rent of the copyright law may be secured.
But the main hope of the Public Library
is not upon this source, but upon the direct
appropriation of sufficient sums for the
purchase OF books upon the liberal scale
that MIR. Putnam recommends.
The librarian of Congress is in a position
TO further the interests of the local insti.
tuition IL the degree that the Public
Library develops an efficient circulating
collection, 20 meet the needs OF the people
and particularly Of the public schools the
pressure u Don the Congressional Library
viii be rel eyed, and that institution Will
De enabled the more fully to meet it's re-
Quirements as a reference library.
