ILLEGAL AND UNJUsrIFIED.
Criticism Of the Work of the Librarian
Of Congress

During a consideration Of the legislative
bill yesterday afternoon a discussion arose
IN the Senate over paragraph appropriat-
Ing nearly $4,000 to pay for an index,
digest and compilation Of laws which re-
suited In severe criticism of efforts pur-
sued by the librarian of Congress in per-
hitting what senators did not hesitate to
denounce as a gross violation of law. Dur
ing the last session of Congress an ap-
preparation was made for indexing. d.
costing and compiling the laws upon
plan to be approved by the Senate and
House committees of the judiciary. But
1t was explained by Senator Clark of
Wyoming that under this authority a bu-
reau for this purpose had been established
under the librarian of Congress, and had
proceeded to index the laws without hav-
Of Congress. They had, he explained.
made no reference to the matter to the
committee on the judiciary until ten days
ago. 1t was expected that before this
commission did any work it would submit
Its plan to the committee. Senator Hale
upon hearing this statement arose and de-
nounced the course that had been taken
as clearly Illegal and unjustifed"
The House this year had placed a para
graph In the bill continuing the work of
indexing the statutes. again using the
language according to plan approved by
the judiciary committees" Attention was
called to the fact that the reference to the
dlSapproval OF the plan indicated that the
work was proceeding in accordance with
plan that had received approval. A great
many senator's expressed establishment
that no such approval had been given, and
the Senate then approved the action of the
committee on appropriations in striking
the paragraph from the bill.
Senator Fulton, a member of the joint
committee of Congress on a revision of
the laws, made another statement that
surprised many senator's 1t was to the
effect that If the revision being made by
the joint committee receives the approval
of Congress- the work of indexing the
laws now going on under the librarian of
Congress would be obsolete because the
revision of laws would take the place of
the statutes, and in turn would have to
be indexed. If the work of that joint
committee, which is now revising the
laws, is not to be considered and approved
by Congress, he. said that for, one he
wished to be relieved of the duty i'm
posed upon him in connection with it.
Senator Clark stated that this was only
one of numerous instances in which bu-
reaus of the government undertake to go
ahead with their work without any author
ity of law This reference was directed
toward the force that is engaged under
the librarian of Congress in indexing the
statutes.

Will Keep Pledges.

THE platform upon which I was elect
ed, the governor said, promised many
important reforms which the people had
been demanding for years and which, In
some instances, had been persistently de-
MED them. 1 gave my word to the peo-
pie that if elected governor Of Penn
sylvania 1 would, to the extent of my
power insist upon the fulfllment Of
those promises. All of the reform
pledges of that platform shall consti-
tute a part of the policy of my admins
tration, and, without any assumption of
debating legislative action, their early
enactment into laws is urgently rec
commended"
The governor recommends that trolley
companies be given the right to carry
freight and be given the power of emf
nent domain. He suggests that a state
railway commission be appointed with
powers similar to those conferred upon
the Interstate commerce commission, ad-
vocates maximum railroad passenger
rate of two cents mile, and recommends
that legislation be enacted to make eff
fective that portion of the state consti-
tuition which prohibits railroads from
engaging in any other business than
that of common carriers.
Pure Food Laws.
Gov. Stuart makes appeal for better
pure food laws, and suggests the advisable
ity of making all pure food legislation con-
form as nearly as possible to the federal
laws upon the same subject In connection
with the prosecution of violators Of pure
food laws, the governor asks the legislature
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of requiring
manufacturers or others sending such COM
modities into the state to have resident
agents upon whom legal service can be
made, enabling the authorities to hold them
responsible, instead of innocent retailers
who buy food, drugs and beverages on the
representation that they are pure.
Stringent legislation for closer scrutiny
of banks and trust companies is also rec
commended.
New Capitol Controversy.
In the matter of the controversy over the
furnishings and decorations Of the new
state capitol. which was one of the princi-
pal issues in the campaign of last Novem-
ber the governor calls for an investigation
by a joint committee Of the two houses of
the general assembly. He recommends that
authority be given him to employ special
counsel and auditors, acting under the at
torney general to appear before the COM
mittee and assist in the investigation.
The state capitol cost more than $13 OOO =
OOO, of which 100000 was expended for
decorations and furnishings 1t was assert
ed during the recent campaign that there
were gross overcharges' in the expendi-
ture OF the IS, 100000, and the matter has
been under investigation for several
months, not only by the Pennypacker ad-

The brief but thrilling biography
which Scripture gives Of David. the

In remarkable way the light and

humiliation and the exaltation Of a
human life. 1t Is q wonderful story.
From the time we are first introduced
to the humble shepherd lad, down to
the last chapter Of his life, we are
struck by the intense activity which
marked almost every moment OF 1t.
Event follows event In continuous
procession. One incident Is scarcely
closed ere another has begun. And
perhaps during all this intensely
active life there has been only partial
appreciation of all that 1t means. but
as the Interest Of life is passed and
the descent begins towards old age
and the grave, there come leisure
which had been denied before ant
