May Not Be Opposed.

It may be that Mr.. Meredith will have
no opposition. Every one recognizes, not
only his great ability as lawyer and
scholar. but the deep personal interest he
has displayed in the work of building up
the library. and in any event these things
will go a long way toward commencing
him for reelection, If he shall care to
serve another term on the board.
Mr.. Kennedy does not take any stock
in the talk which is going the rounds
of political circles that the Legislature,
at its session next winter, may UNDER
take to limit or cut off the library fund.
Indeed, he Is confident that he has behind
his administration enough strong men
in and out Of the Legislature to secure
the usual and ample recognition for his
department. IIe does not think any one,
for example, would undertake to lead a
move to deprive the school travelling IL

President and Attorney General
Give Learned Opinions on.
"Old Red-Eyc.'

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The long
expected opinion of Attorney General
Bunaparte concerning the proper label
ing of whiskey under the pure-foou
law approved June 80. 1906, was made
public at the White House to day. It's
purport is briefly told in the following
letter addressed by the President to-
day to the Secretary Of Agriculture:
My Dear Mr.. Secretary,-1n accord
ance with your suggestion, have
submitted the matter concerning tho
proper labelling of whlskey under tho
pGre-food law to the Department Of
erals opinion. I agree with this opln-
ion, and direct that action be taken
in accordance with it. Straight whis-
key will be labeled as such.
a mixture of two or more straight
whiskeys will be labeled blended

as such.

The Attorney-Ge Generals opinion as
to the proper construction to he placed
on the law has been awaited with
great interest by dlstiiers and recti-
flers all over tho country. Before the

which relate to that work.
do you contemplate making any
changes In your staff, or submitting any
suggestions along this line to the board?''
Such matter has not been considered
by me-. Matters more urgent command
my attention; also the combined efforts
of all associated with the library. 1t will
require the concerted action and unceas-
ing labor of the entire staff to perfect
the projects now under way in tho
library
Mr.. Kennedy followed this up by say
ing that II any changes were to be con-
sidered they would come up later on, but
emphasized the fact that SO far the mat
ter had not been given attention by him..
So far as he was able to say, the sama
was true Of the board, though. OF. course.
he did not pretend to speak for the mem :
bers OF that body.
None Will Resign.
1t Is not believed that there Will be
any designations or removals for the
present, but some action on this line may
be taken at the next meeting Of the
board, after conference with and sug-.
gestions from the librarian.

OF this city. as member Of the State
Library Board, will expire on July LIST.
