It seems plain enough that the Hon.

extensions of the Monroe Doctrine arc
substantially those Of President Roosc-
welt. The fact Just at this ytimc makes
Mr.. Root the Presidents first choice. The
only question Is cnn Mr.. Root. or will
Mr.. Root give UP q very lucrative law
practice to accept n high Office, whose
salary attained Is not sufficient to meet
the necessary bills of member OF the
Cabinet. Tho expenses OF public officers
In Washington must be reduced or their
pay must be Increased If we want the

Primary Judges.

After a vigorous and protractcd struggle
tho people OF Virginia gained for them
selves the freedom and the power of
nomination by q primary. Nor was this
freedom achieved readily, for number
of interests entrenched behind the old
systems of ward and convention nomina-
tons naturally feared and obstructed that
method which appealed to the people
direct. No election under the primary
has yet been held that has awakened
anything like the interest Of the APP
preaching senatorial and gubernatorial
nominations. The voters are profoundly
concerned, not only in the success of their
individual candidates. but in the method
by which that success SHAH be deter
mined, and 1t Is not too much to say
that the people OF Virginia as a whole
whole system-Eot that the voters believe
that the failure TO give a reasonable and
fair primary would discredic the whole
system. but that they feel that the primary
may be so mismanaged as nos only to re-
fleet discredlt or disgrace on those charged
with its control, but also to defeat the
peoples will.
TO discredit the primary, to rebuff the
popular desire for direct nomination,
whethe. such result be produced by I'M
due expense by doubt of fairness, or by
active pervcrslon. will 90 sc, back the
political life Of this State for many
years.
TO come to our own problem here in
Richmond, there seems to US no good rea-
son why the City Democratic Committee
should refuse to allow the request made
by representative citizens that one Judge
at cacn precinct be appointed by a dis
interested board The alleged reason for
not granting this request Is that to take
such a step would reflect upon the char
acter and capacity of the City Committee.
1t is noteworthy that while no vote was
taken number of the members
of the committee, who have the
highest standing in the community
expressed themselves as willing to adop,
any method OF procedure that
would most nearly insure the peoples
wish for square deal. In so vital a ques-
ton as this. involving as 1t does the very
basis OF popular government. for no pco
PIE can be said TO govern themselves wher
they cannot elect their own officials, i;
would seem an excess of morbldity TO al.
low the over sensitivencss OF n few com.
mitteemen 10 stand In tho way of re.
quest that is on It's face. both Just, rea.
sonab!e and for the public good.

Only In tho case of n very small and
| ill.chosen selection Of books, surely, would
| the men Of a town be right IN conclud-
Ing that there is nothing In itifor them"
! When a library Is Justly open to that
charge, and 1t is n serious one, the re-
Election nttnches, not to tho library idea
as a whole, but to that particular collcc-
| ton of books. a man may not feel tho
need Of n library every day, but when
he does need It, he needs It badly. Tho
{ prime requisite. obviously should be that
of usefulness. The library should be tho
ever-rcady and omnisclent educator, the
dependable purveyor of Information and
instruction to It's community. For that
reason Its reference shelves. made OF
books which nobody wants on his
shelves. but which anybody is liable to
need some time" should receive the most
careful consideration. Worthlly to dis
charge its function, 1t must stand in per-
feet readiness to yield at oil times and
to all sorts and conditions of men or
women, the things which he or she nd-
vidually is anxious at that moment TO
know. In the matter of finding out things
for ourselves, in short, 1t must be our
faithful ally and inerrant teacher.
No doubt the town library. through
lnck OF funds. or, perhaps. more rarely,
indifferent choice of books, Is not always
all that 1t should be. Where 1t has
demonstrated its uselessness to the men
within its sphere of influence 1t has
shown itself in so far--and in most
important direction-a failure But, for
tunntely, this does not appear to be n
general truth, as could be testified by
great number of men, particularly In the
larger centers. to whom the public library
has been of the most Unreasonable and
priceless assistance. Where the library
bis resolved itself into nothing more than
a source of recreation for tho homework
ing classes Of o community, it has. be-
You'd contradiction, fallen from Its high
est estate; but even then we should BIO
inclined to award It a considerably higher
valuation in the life Of that community
than we should give to municipal
amusement like the band playing In the
park"
