The Branch Library Bill.

The Senate yesterday passed a bill au-
thorizing the Commissioners to accept a
gil. OF $4,000 from Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
for the construction at Takoma Park OF
a branch of the Public Library. This
measure has been hanging fire in Congress
for several years, and it is high time 1t
became a law. 1t has been once passed
by the House, and once by the Senate, on
each occasion the other branch of Con-
gress neglecting to concur Thus having
been half passed twice, the only logical
conclusion is for Congress now to pass 1t
altogether. and thus start the process of
providing for the library accommodation
of the people of the Districts northern
most suburb. Mr.. Carnegie's offer has
stood awaiting acceptance season after
season, and it behooves the Districts leg
islature now to accept 1t quickly and
gratefully. The citizens of Takoma Park
have been prompt in offering a site for the
branch which they urgently need and it
is due to them we'll as to Mr.. Carnegie
that their donation be utilized. The House
having once gone on record in favor of
taking this gift cannot consistently now
turn back in its tracks.

address added nothing to its force. For
one thing. lis f'ng at the press was too
sweeping. 1t was calculated for the me-
ridian of a swamp town in his own native
wilds where the printer does chores for
the politician. and the circuit judge writes
the heavy CUFF for the editorial page.
Where real Journalism fiourishes all jour

anxious he is to unsheathe his snicker-

Jerome and Bingham.

The forces of law and order are at war
in New York. Police Commissioner Bing-
ham and District Attorney Jerome are in
conflict over their respective subordnates.
Jerome has been conducting some raids
against the gambling houses and dives
lately and he complains that his men have
been seriously hampered in their work by
the police. On the other hand the police
file complaints that the Jerome raiders
have destroyed property unnecessarily and
have severely injured people. There is an
ugly Interchange of compliments between
the commissioner and the district attor
ney eliminating in an outburst of indig
nant language by the latter in which Je-
rome declares that the condition of things
at poi-e headquarters is 80 bad that the
honest citizen sghs .or return of the
good old days of Chief Devery. He asserts
tina: tho force is as corrupt as ever and
that the commissioner is hoodwinked. He
acknowledges that Gen. Bingham is hon.
est. but AYERS that he is served by
hoy deputies who cannot tell cop from
d fireman"
If these two capable and honest public
servants really believe that there is seri-
Gus law-breaking in the big city while the
police stand by inattentive. there should
be no difficulty about demonstrating the
fact. 1t Is inconceivabie that Bingham
would actively interfere with fair pro-
gram of investigation by Jerome. or that
Jerome would throw court obstacles In
the way of the prosecution of cases pre-
sented by the police. But II the two men
are jealous and seek only the vindication
OF their own positions. there will be no
end TO the warfare until one or the other
is thrown out od office. The public may
be entertained for time by Jerome's vi
triolc satire or by Binghams picturesque

Henry Watterson.

The senatorial situation in the Ken
lucky legislature looks like a deadlock.
Seventy votes are necessary to elect, and
so far, Gov. Beckham has been able to
command only sixty-six. The democrats
in revolt against his candidacy are en-
couraged in their attitude by advices from
their constituents. and 1t Is the opinion
in Frankfort that they will not change.
Gov. Bradley is the republican nominee,
and no defections have appeared, or are
expected. on that side. Speculation. there
fore. is busy. Will the Beckhamites. de-
spairing of their man, turn in the end to
another. so as to insure the election of a
democrat to succeed Mr.. McCreary? Or,
If unable to bring the boilers into line,
will they prevent an election, and send
the matter over to the next legislature,
taking the chances of an appeal to the
peopls with the senatorship as the issue ?
Although there Is small hope for such a
result. the choice of Henry Watterson for
the Office would meet with wide approval
throughout the country. He has no ambi-
tion for the place, but an equipment for
1t possessed by no other democrat in the
state. He is the last of the men who
from the close of the civil war until the
advent of Bryanism in national affairs
gave TO Kentucky high distinction in the
councils OF the democratic party AS
both writer and orator he still enjoys
national attention, and in the Senate
would serve his party, his state and the
country with fidelity. and sturdy ad-
herence TO principles which he would ag-
gressively champion and eioquently en-
plc.n. The years have touched Mr.. Wat
terson lightly. and he would give the
Senate taste of the quality which in
journalism has made him one of the most
widely quoted contributors to the daily
press of his time. Make way. you fellows

Still Seeing Things.

This Toxic dispatch furnishes additional
evidence of the fact that a friction-pro-
noting propaganda is diligently at work
both here and in Japan, to the end of
abrading the sensitive feelings of the peo-
pie of both countries:
The foreign Office is in receipt of dis
patch from Washington saying there is
much uneasiness in America in conse-
quence of sensational reports emanating
from Europe concerning the distribution
of the Japanese naval fleet. While not in
clined 10 treat the matter seriously, the
Japanese officials say the governments of
the various countries are in possession of
all the facts connected with Japan's dis
tribution of her warshipS through their
naval attaches at Tokio.'
The person. official or unofficial. who
discerned the much uneasness" in
America regarding the present location of
the japanese warships is gifted with an
acute Imagination. The uneasiness is cer-
tainly no: to be noticed by ordinary OBJ
servers. 1t assuredly does not exist on the
part of the people at large. Men are not
talking about the japanese warships as
they meet on the street. They are not dis
cussing the question in their clubs, or
over the clearinghouse tables. Possibly
in the deeper recesses of the State and
Navy Departments. or perhaps in the
War Department, the expert diplomatists
and strategists are racking their brains
over the new japanese puzzle. but thus
far no outward evidence of this mental
activity has appeared. If the government
is worried it is certainly keeping its state
Of mind profoundly secret.
The quoted dispatch indicates that the
message from Washington is official Is
the embassy here seeing things" as we'll
as some or the Parisians? 1t would be
deplorable to find that the official Jap
anese colony in Washington had begun to
discover signs of great anxiety over the
situation on the part of the American
people.

A Solemn Warning.


Though ignorance is never bliss,
Despite what poets say,
OF wisdom it were well to miss
Too constant a display.
For pride, as people all agree,
Oft goes before fall.
So pause and do not seek to be
The man who knows 1t all.
Fen though all knowledge you have won
OF things both old and new;
You'll merely be so good that none
Can think that you are true.
Far up amid the frosty heights
You'll stray, beyond recall.
And pass your lonely days and nights.
The man who knows 1t all.
Among the starry heights you'll grope
And men will never care;
They'll have to take a telescope
To know that you are there.
And they will say In language rough,
Your credit Is but small;
That you're a myth, or worse, bluff,
The man who knows 1t all.
