WAR ECHOES FILTER THROUGH
STATES TO NATIONAL
CAPITAL.
Many Who Are Acquainted With Sit
uation Think New Man May Fill
His Place in Next Congress

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Echoes OF
the war now on up in Minnesota, in
Congressman Jim Tawney's district
are filtering through to Washington
and there are those here who think
there will be another man on the job
in his place for the 62nd congress.
Tawney's fight to retain his seat be-
came a topic of national interest not
long ago, when President Taft took the
trouble to stop off at Winona, where
the belligerent blacksmith lives, to
tell the folks there how much he
thought of the chairman of the appro-
priations committee, and intimated that
the insurgents who voted against the
Payne Aldrich bill were not good re-
publicans.
Tawney's constituents had a sneak
ing idea that their representative ought
not to have been quite so regular in
his voting on some of the paragraphs
of the bill The opposition to his re-
nomination is making vast deal of
ammunition over the fact that Tawney
is tied up with the Cannon machine of
the house Then too, a great many
residents (and voters) of the first
Minnesota district have never forgot
ten that it was Tawney that led the
secret service fight against President
Roosevelt during the last session.
Roosevelt is mighty popular up there,
and, Furthermore, Tawney's opposition
to the Big Stick in that one row, has
given his enemies a chance to say he
is hostile to those same Roosevelt poll
icies that have recently proved some
what embarrassing to the Taft admin
istration.
At the last election Tawney only

is stumping his district and defending
the tariff bill in every speech. 1t is
this latter course of action that is
angering more and more the tariff re-
visionists up there. They maintain
that Jim" knows full well that the
bill is bad one, but hasn't the nerve
to come out and say why he voted
for it.
Meanwhile Tawney is taking no
chances of defeat. The idea of re-
naming in congress is particularly ap-
pealing to him just now because he is
far-sighted enough to forsee the re-
tirement of Uncle Joe" Cannon as
speaker sometime in the not too dis
tant future, and from chairman of the
appropriations committee to the speak
er's throne is logical step, according
to his reasoning.

ancient Maryland statute is cited by
the government as authority for such

A partial hearing of the case was
given by Judge Anderson last June.
The defense was ready to go on, but

ETY., the active members of which are
residents OF Montgomery, has alreadv

from students and writer's on the o1Ies-
tons for the study of which the Society,"
was organized. At the last meeting
OF the Society, held with Secretary r,
A. Brannon at his home on CLAYTON
street. number of letters from some
OF the most prominent anthropoligi sts
OF the country were read and the So
ciety was notified that 1t had been put
upon the exchange list of a number of
publications and societies, interested In
the same subject.
Alabama Is especially rich in aborfp-
lnal history, of which but little is gem
orally known to the people. Secretary
Brannon at the meeting displayed a
remarkable collection of relics, more
than thousand in number. and repre-
senting all periods of aboriginal his

tanned in Alabama. 1t is one of the
largest private collections In the State.

first systematic efforts to build I'D its

A SORRY PLIGHT.

The present extra session of Con-
gress, and the position of the admin
istration, presents an almost pitiful
| spectacle in some respects. II shows
the Republican party reaching out in
every direction and catching at every
possible means of raising revenue to
make up for the reckless, If not GRIM
inal, extravaganza of the previous ad-
ministration. After me, the deluge,"
was apparently the mott of Roosevelt
and those who were controlled by him,
and they acted up to 1t in all possible
ways. Whether he acted on the prin-
ciple that there is no limit to the
country's resources, or whether he had
no conception of economy In govern
ment, or whether he was wholly with
out thought or regard for the difficult
ties and embarrassments his course
might bring -on those who were to
come after him, may not he settled. 1t
may have been a mixture of all these.
but the fact remains that the money
was spent FecklesSly ana that the al
fairs of the nation were left in some
thing worse than an unsatisfactory
condition.
And so it was that when Mr.. Taft
came into power he found himself fac
ing two serious problems. He must
find or devise means TO relieve the
country Of the financial embarrass-
ments bequeathed his administration
by his predecessor and he must en-
deavor to have the tariff revised in
accordance with his partys promises
and HIS own pledges. Both problems
presented serious difficulties The
country had not yet recovered from
the panic which was itself due in some
measure to the Roosevelt administra-
tlon. At any rate its effects had not
passed. and loss of revenue was one OF
the consequences The prohibition

pledges. 1t became known today that

SCIENTIFIC LIBRARY WORK

unless he happens to be : acquainted
with the Carrying contents Of the book
OF course. II would be impossible COM
pietely to index the contents of all the
books contained in big library but
1t may not be too much to hope that a
scheme Of indexing may be devised
whereby all the leading topics may APP
pear In the card index.
Another thing the library reader has
often expressed q hope for Is that In
binding magazines which have no an
nual index and which are not indexed
in the annual periodical indexes, in
dexes to the several numbers of vol-
ume might be grouped together at one
place In the volume. This practice is
not now generally followed. Many
man has expressed the wish that some :
one would undertake to form an index
OF the important matters of a group OF
leading newspapers. Some Of the best
contributions to the general fund of
information that have been made have
been used in the newspapers. and yet
there Is no index by which they can
be located. The London Times gets
out its monthly index almost before
the month is ended, and its annual in
dex follows closely on the heels of the
New Year. Yet not a single American
newspaper. SO far as the Library of
Congress has information, has indexed
Its contents for 1907.
The preferences OF children In Sc
lecting their reading matter Is always
an Interesting Investigation, and what
is the most called-for book in one IL
brary is not in much demand In an
other. Recently the New York public
library undertook to investigate the
question. and kept a record of books
issued to juveniles. II was found that
Louisa May Alcotts Little Women"
stood first; second was Sara Crew."
and third was Uncle Toms Cabin"
Black Beauty" was the fourth most
called-for book. The public Libraries
OF the country have had remarkable
effect on the tastes OF Juveniles for lit
erature. II used to be that the yellow
back novel was the prime favorite with
the boys. Today the popularized SCI
entiic works are much in requisition,
and the magazines which devote them
selves to scientific matters from the
layman's standpoint are the hardest
used In the reading room. Popular
science and simpiifed mechanics ana
technology have done much to interest
the boys in things which lead to sue
cess In life.

MONDAY, JUNE rs, 1909.

The Omaha Bee proposes change
of only one letter in General Han
cocks famous declaration that the
tariff is a local issue" The Bee would
have 1t read: THE tariff is vocal
issue" and we think the slight change
comes nearer hitting 1t of correctly.
for certainly there has not OF late
years been more vocal exercise on any
one subject than on this. In proof OF
this The New Haven Register notes
that a dispatch sent out from WASH
tneton last Wednesday stated that 1.-The
multitude OF words uttered on the
tariff has already broken down the
most expert OF the six oficial report
ers who are taking down this so-called
tariff debate in the Senate. Since
April IL, when that debate began he
has taken as his share at least 1.o00.-
600 words. This intense and contin-
ued strain, with no sign of immediate
relief, has combined with the hot
weather to nervously shatter a man
who may be presumed to be one of
the most expert stenographers in the
United States. 1t estimated that the
total of words on the tariff in the Sen
ate alone is 100000 and the volume
of what was said in the House be-
fore that Is still unestimated'

syndicate Planning TO Take Families
From Northern Italy.
New York Herald.
Two localities IN Texas. are to BIO
the scenes OF a new plan In colonizas
ton, according to a report from Rome.
An italian syndicate will establish in
the middle part of the State two agri-
cultural colonies each composed of 100
families, or about 1000 persons In all,
brought directly from the agricultural
districts of Northern Italy.
The entire scheme calls for the ex-
penditure of about $1,000, 900. one-third
OF the amount has been subscribed by
Texas capitalists headed by Captain
Nicoiini, italian Consular Agent at Gall
weston. The rest has been furnished
by a syndicate organized last winter
in Milan and presided over by Luigi
Luzzatti, former Minister of Finance
in the italian cabinet.
The scheme calls also for the estab-
lishment by one OF the italian steam-
ship companies Of a direct line between
the Mediterranean ports and Calves
The idea Of colonizing the Italian
Immigrants in the agricultural dis
tricts of the South dates back to the
time the italian Ambassador. Signor

and Texas, and was favorably impress-
ed by the prosperity OF the several
Italian agricultural settlements al
ready existing in those two States.
