A PUBLIC LIBRARY.

One OF the improvements badly

line Of progression made during the

II matter in which everyone is
interested, and a united effort VIII

possible until made.
The foundation for good pub

many Of our citizens. The ladies'

library. small il Is true, but com
posed Of well selected fiction and
valuable works ofreference, which

very good reason that there is no

Country lawyers Unique Hypothesis.

When Representative Tompkins Of
Ohio was a young lawyer out In the
Buckeye State. and was winning his
spurs, he occasionally found 1t profit
able to accept case in Justices court
in the country. He tells the following
story of the argument made by rural
barrister before such a magistrate.
The case was one in which the plain
tin sought to recover damages from a
railroad company for the killing of 4
COW. During the course of his argu-
ment the country lawyer used tl.is ex-
pressivc sentence:
IF the train had been run as it
should have been ran, or II the bell
had been rung US It should have been
rang, or If the whistle had been blown
as it should have been blew. both Of
which they did neither. the COW would
not have been injured when she was
killed"
Mr.. Tompkins does not state wheth-
er the man recovered damages for his
bovine.

Mr.. Hoar kept his word yesterday and
used the word reconcentrado consistent

centrado.
when Mr. Bacon brought the Philip
pine concentration camps into his
speech on Wednesday he used the word
reccncentrado several times. At last
Mr. Spooner objected. He suggested
that Mr. Bacon was trying to make the
concentration camps odious by an i'm
piled =.iEsaa:isii 6. Weylsrism End he
announced that If Mr. Bacon wished to
be Just he would in the future call The
camps concentration camps.
Mr. Bacon acquiesced in this sugges-
ton. but Mr. Hoar did not.

said. Il intend to use the word recon

The Civil Engineers.

The gathering Of the civil en-
gineers in Washington ought to i'm
press upon the public mind the fact
that this is profession in which
| more of the forces which make for
| progress are combined than in al
most any other. There are profess
| sions the members OF which make
more noise in the world than the
| civil engineers do. but not many
| which are more useful.
This is a business in which talk
J is pre-eminently at a discount. II is
not show business. 1t does not
depend TO any very great extent on
influence: because no Influence
known to man can enable a person
to put suspension bridge In n
place where nature never intended
II to be, unless the man knows his
business. A clever lawyer may
make black appear white, and 1t will
be profitable: but ii is not profit
able for the civil engineer to blink
any kind of facts. II is necessary
for him TO see clearly and think
straight.
II there is any one country which
owes a debt to the members of this
profession II is the United States.
The engineer has done the impcs-
sible. all the way through our his
tory. He laid the foundations of
the prosperity Of the West, and he
had more than his share of the
dangers of the pioneer. He went
where nobody else had been, and his
life was often an experiment from
beginning to end. He was called
upon to solve engineering problems
which man had not before confront
ed II was not known whether they
could be solved. They were solved.
Then the rest of the country ac-
ceptcd the solution and forgot all
about the engineer. He got no
medals for the daredevil feats which
he performed. and he accumulated
no millions through his enterprise
and energy. He did not even find |
his name a household word because
of his intellect. And because of |
these things. all the more honor. in
long arrears. is owing to the civil /
engineer.
