themselves of Mr.. Carnegie's offer
and secured libraries costing near
that sum. A building costing less
than this would suffice for Browns
vile. By making it with an assembly
hall on the lower floor which could
be rented for public purposes, the
building might be made to yield
some revenue in addition to the
library fees and thus aid in raising
the amount required for its sup
port. 1t would, at least, cost moth
ing for our citizens to consider this
idea and correspond with Mr.. Car
negie regarding the matter.
Considering the almost absolute
dearth OF public entertainment at
forded people in Brownsville, on
account of its remoteness from the
usual line of travel, the idea of es-
tablishing public library ought to
appeal peculiarly to our people
The HERALD feels sure that every
resident of the place would take
the greatest pride in the possession
of a fine public library, which
would not only bespe2k the culture
and higher tastes Of our people,
but would serve to stimulate those
very qualities in the rising genera
ton. 1t can be done, if we will
only go about i in the right way.

EXPENSIVE APARTMENTS.
Women Who Can't RENT Them, but
Who Like to Inspect Them.


The superintendent of an expensive
apartment building was telling his
troubles.
ut isn't showing apartments to those
who really want one that makes me
see the whole world through dark blue
glasses just now said he. ITS the
aggravation of the people who go about
inspecting fine suits which they can
not possibly pay for.
"You wouldn't imagine how many
women have the mania unless you had
my job for awhile. Only yesterday
young married woman and her mother,
both smartly gowncd. asked to see one
of my six room suits, which rents for
5000 month, and there's no kitchen
in the apartment either. We serve
meals from the basement at SO per
week for each person.
"Well, those woren were here fully
an hour. They discussed the outlook
from the various windows and the size
and plan of the rooms and every little
detail They wanted to know If the

measured the windows to see if their
curtains would fit.

the capitol has been constructed Il sub

which Il train of six cars. each sixteen
feet long, operated by electricity. will

speed. The congressman has no fare
to pay. He can step from the house Of
representatives into an elevator, de-
scend to the basement of the capitol.
be whisked through the subway to his
private Office. pick up the papers he
forgot and be back in his seat in
matter of three or four minutes.
But if Mr.. Congressman desires the
privacy of his own Office when the
house is in session and yet wishes to
hear what is going on in that chamber,
he may cross his feet over his mahog-
any, place to his ear a continuance call
ed photograph, or something of that

Speaker Cannon and the eloquence of

sas, shutting off the sound when it

these problems, which has grown up
altogether since the war between the
states. Following the peace of Apo
mattoX began what may be termed the
corporate era in American history, the
upbuiIding of great enterprises and the
gradual concentration of industrial ex-

businesses into G0liaths which have

the chief affairs of his administration,
with persons of all political beliefs in

that the Sixtieth congress will give
considerable attention to the trusts.

Nearly Everything Changed.

The development Of the city Of
Washington is typical of the growth
of the nation. In the past half cen
fury the United States has changed so
vastly that Daniel Webster. who de-
clared that all the country west of the
Rockies was and must forever remain
a worthless wilderness. would not rec
ogniZe this as his native land should he
be permitted to return and take 4
transcontinental trip. About the only
thing in Washington which Webster
would recognize is the rportico Of the
White House. Nearly everything else
has changed. .t-t
These changes and developments
have brought about the great new
problems which this congress will dis
cuss. One of the highly important new
propositions is that of the restoration
and Improvement of inland waterways.
President Roosevelt has promised to
advocate the creation of Il deep water
way from the great lakes to the gulf.
and it is probable that this matter Will
receive attention from the incoming
congress. 1t has bearing upon the
railroad rate problem, by the way.
Congress, it is held by some, has a
chance to kill two big birds with one
stone by putting the rivers in compete
ton with the railroads in the carrying
of freight. The rates, it is believed
will be reduced, and the surplus prod.
ucts of many states now suffering for
lack of transportation facilities will be
moved promptly.
Another little matter which would
make the shade of any statesman priol
TO 1860 corrugate with amazement is
to be handled by this congress. An
appropriation will be requested for q
war balloon or airship feet.
Truly the world moves, particularly
the part of the world that surrounds
Washington, and we cannot censurt
Uncle Sam for giving his Legislators
better facilities for doing their work.
