Who Has Changed?

When Mr.. William J. Bryan was re-
Gently in Richmond he was approached
by representatives OF this paper and
asked II there was any common ground
upon which The Times Dispatch and Mr.
Bryar's paper, the Commoner could
stand. AS already stated, Mr.. Bryan
declared that there could he no agree
ment between him and The Times-Dls
patch; that the party was irrevocably
split. and that the cleavage had gone to
the bottom,
But 1t has not been before stated by
us that at the outset Mr., Bryan was as
sured that The Times Dispatch was as
DESTROYS as the Commoner could be of
seeing the Democracy triumph In the
next presidential election, Mr.. Bryan re-
piled that he could not assent to that
proposition.
You must take our word for IT," said
the representatives OF The Times-Dls-
patch.
Very good" said Mr.. Bryan. but II
all depends on what you mean by Dem
ocracy, and what mean by Democracy. =
Quite true. There Is a decided differ,
ence between Mr., Bryan's view OF
Democracy and the view of The Times
Dispatch. But the Democratic doctrine
which this paper breaches is tho same

Of its existence IT, in the view ui MI

The State Library.

One OF the most useful bills passed by
the present Legislature is that known a S
Senate bill No. ~. III relation. to the
State Library. The Virginia State LII
brary contains one Of the richest collcc-
lions Of books In the United States. and
1t has recently taken on new life. Bet
ter arrangements have beer made to
accommodate visitors. and altogether the
library Is in first-class condition.
The act under review provides for en-
larglng the scope of the work Of the
State Library, so as to make 1t more use
full to the general public. Under sec
ton $40 of the act, the library board IS
authorized to arrange for the exchange
OF Virginia publications with as mary
OF tho States and institutions as posi-
BILE. with the general government,
and with other governments, with
kocitlcs ard Others as 1t sees
lit. placing all exchanges received
in the State Library, except that all
statute and law books received shall be
transferred to the law library. The board
is permitted to send to any university,
college public library or societies copies
OF State publications, and may arrange
for loans with the libraries Of Congress
and other libraries which grant q like
privilege to tho Virginia State Library.
This is a sort OF reciprocity, by which
there will be an exchange Of favors be-
tween the Virginia library. and libraries
elsewhere, SO that others may have the
uso OF our books and We hayc the use
| OF theirs.
But this is not all 1t is further pro-
vided that the board shall purchase and
procure books and other necessary equip
ment for the establishment of libraries to
| DO known us "traveling libraries" These
| libraries arc to be supplied with books
bought for the purpose or donated to the
| board. and may be loaned for limited
tn>a TO any free library in Virginia. or
to any community In any county OF the
State upon request ar writing by ten
Taxpayers of such community, guaran-
teeng the proper care and safe return
| Of any books SO loaned.
In this way people in all parts of Viz
ginia may have the use OF hooks in the
| State Library to their pleasure and BEN
eft, Both OF these schemes are excel
lent. and the General Assembly should
By all means provide whatever additional
means may be necessary to put them into
