From the New York sun
In Virginia and perhaps in other South
ern States the machine" Is preparing
for itself a very difficult. Il not hopeless,
path. Last spring. on the occasion OF a
purely local contest in which all Rich
mond was profoundly interested. the wise
men in charge Of politics provided a bal
lot which bound the individual who used
It 70 vote for the nominees OF the Den
yer convention at the national election
in November.
Many did not notice this impudent pro-
viso. others attached no value 10 It, but
after Mr.. Bryan's nomination thousands
were enraEed by a trap so obvious and
50 unwsrranted. and began 20 cast about
fo- some method OF evasion. There was
no way out, however. and honest men
took their medicine accordingly. OF
course. Virginia could not have been car
ried for Taft under the circumstances.
but whole regiments Of good men and
true felt bound TO refrain from voting
and so the demonstration vas CurtaiIed-
Nov. as we are told. the managers
are considering q new restriction They
contemplate a condition for future vet
ing Of the Democratic tiCket-no less
a condition than the circumstance OF
having voted for Bryan last November.
Il is by no means certain that this crazy
expedient viii be resOrted 10. but 1t is
seriously discussed. and it seems to open
q very promising vista OF Democratic
disaster in the Old Dominion. The hold
OF the Democratic organization or Vir-
ginia is feeble and uncertain at best.

libraries about si.000.090 In the latter
direction the amount shows a decided fall

course. is due 20 Mr.. Carnegie's change in
his library policy He has planted library
buildings all over the country aud put
