4 STATE LEBRARY BUILDING

One of the best pieces Of work done by the
Legislature just adjourned was the provision
Tor the long talked Of state education building.
The necessity for such a building has been
understood for years but lawmakers have been
reluctant 10 face the undertaking. partly for
reasons of economy and partly also perbans
because New YOrk's experience with the erec-
ton OF monumental structures has not been en-.
tlrely happy. We are glad 10 see that this wear
Inc legislators had the progressive spirit TO real
ize the need Of new building and the courage
10 act on their convictions

and seems likely TO be completed with what
should have been its beginning, in the popular
electorate. It was the genius Of Waldeck-Rous-
seau which formed a stable Cabinet-by the
moral force of that Cabinet compelling the
Chamber to keep it stable through the formation
of the Bloc Now, the success Of the Bloc has
inspired the voters of the nation TO support and
to perpetuate system which in seven years has
done more for the safeguarding and vindication
of the French Republic than had been done in
the preceding four times seven years.

 GOOD BYE, GOOD FISH-The dis covery has been made that the aristOc- racy of the fish population of Salt river is no longer very much in evil dence. In response to inquiry. Dr. Roberts. the most authoritative fish expert in this section, has advanced q theory that is truly startling and that seems to be we'll grounded in facts. It will be remembered that Dr. Roberts is the man through whose influence catfish were first induced to settle in Salt river, and it was mainly his moral encouragement that gave them foot hold. The doctor is older than he was ten or fifteen years ago. and does not fish as much as he used to. but he has a ''passel O young uns" growing up that he is teaching to do his fishing for him. In that way he keeps. in close touch with the river. They report to him that they have been unable to see a catfish of creditable size this season, and it will be remembered that last year the really big and juicy fish were retiring and hard to find. Some other varieties of good standing in fish so- ciety are also not to be seen now. The doctor says he believes that the SaltOn sink is responsible for the situation, and that the best families of fish have migrated to the Imperial section in southern California. He says the cat fish in particular are fond of deep wa ter and since the Colorado has formed a big lake at Salton. the fish are talk ing up their residence there gradually becoming acclimated to the briny wa ter.
