formed by Henry HUH, the well-known
bibliophile, which a generation ago was
noted for its illuminated and rare speci-
mems OF early prints. Among the col
lection is a first folio edition of Shakes
peares plays. issued in 1873. which
fetched as much as s36O0. The third
edition Of 1868, rarer still, and all the
Shakespeare folios excited the keenest
competition. The quarto editions OF sin
gle plays were much in favor with
American buyers. who gave high prices
for them; also in the Van Antwerp and
earlier sales. OF these the collection has
thirty-five. including 'Lucrece," issued in
1894, of which only five perfect copies are
on record. 1t was estimated that this
collection is now worth at least twelve
times the sum which il originally cost
Mr. HUH in the sos and COS, as all the
copies are in fine condition. When Mr.
HUH purchased his Shakespearean COL
lection he was considered TO have paid
very high prices, especially at the Daniel
sale in 1854, where competition was unus-
ually keen. Since the dispersal OF the
Gopsall 0ord Howe's) rarities the HUH
Shakespeare collection has been the
largest and finest in England.
A first edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets,
1909, and copy of the poems. 1910. make
the section Of Shake speareana one OF the
most complete in existence. What charac-
terizes the collection, in addition to the
above, is the number OF quaint and rare

The Result in Los Angeles.

The election of the good government
ticket in Los Angeles is now known to
have been due to the votes of women.
1t was predicted in the early part OF
the campaign that the feminine suffrage
would go largely to the Socialist candi-
date, but after the confessions of the
Mcnamara brothers the tide turned, the
sympathy which had been manifested
by the Socialists for the McNamaras
being remembered against them.
Two features of the election are worth
emphasizing. The first is the fact that
the percentage of women who voted
after registering was larger than that
of the men. This indicates that the
women of Los Angeles appreciate the
placing of the ballot in their hands. The
second fact is that although the Socialist
party had worked most earnestly to Sc
cure suff age for women. the latter did
not allow this consideration to outweigh
their regard for law and order. They
felt that under the circumstances the
election of socialistic mayor might be
misunderstood and misconstrued.
The movement toward woman suf-
frage, which has received an impetus OF
late, will be still further advanced BY
the outcome in Los Angeles.

THE DEADLY PUBLIC BANQUET.
Mayor of Hartford DIscourHea on Its
Effects and Suggests q Menu.

From the Nov Haven Journal-Courier.
Mayor Smith, of the city OF Hartford,
who in a few months retires from that
office to become a judge of the Court of
Common Pleas. takes advantage of his
removal from the turmoil and exactions
Of public office to preach against the con-
ventional public banquet. The contem-
plation of an approaching banquet by a
public official, says the mayor, becomes
appalling" His stomach yearns for "a
dinner that is plain and simple and sub
stantial. by no means costly, and much
more in keeping with the everyday ex-
perienCe of busy men in this country"
1t is to the credit of the mayor of Hart
ford, freed from the restrictions in speech
which hedge in a candidate for public
office, that he does not content himself
with a protest against the conventional
public banquet His remarks are not
alone destructive; they are constructive
He offers a bill of fare, which, Of course,
might be varied according to the season
of the year. 1t is this, and, If We may
be permitted to say so, it sounds good:
a plain soup, a well-cooked piece Of ten
derloin steak, the simplest kind of vegc-
tables-potatoes, corn, or turnips-and an
abundance of brown buttGred toast; a
stein of beer for each nun who cares for
beer; smoking hot coffee served in large
cups as men are accustomed to drink
coffee at home; a piece Of real apple pie,
and cigars enough for any reasonable
man to use to deadeu the effect of the
speeches to which he Is forced to
listen"
The cold gray dawn of the morning
after. with its recollections and muddled
"reminiscences, will in many instances
come to the rescue and support of the
reform in which Mayor Smith has taken
the lead. We are so sure OF the man,
judging of him by the wholesomeness OF
his political valedictory. that We do not
hesitate to suggest an amendment or
two. For those whose torpid lIvers forbid
them to indulge in beer, and whose sleep
less eyes counsel. no coffee, moderate
balls of rye or scotch might be given,
the entire feast being served at an early
hour. With these notifications, We COM
mend Mayor Smiths ideas to the ANAL
gamated society of public diners.

Save Niagara.

The entire country will join witt,
President Taft in his appeal to Congress
to enact legislation that will prevent
the sacrifice of the beauty and grandeur
of Niagara upon the altar of CONNER
cialisrn.
The President suggests that a ma
tional reservation commission be ap-
pointed which will have authority to
regulate the use of water, and to decide
upon the location of power plants. II
this is the solution of the question, it
ought to be enacted promptly into law,
Certainly Congress will be remiss if ii
allows conditions to continue which are
only too rapidly converting the sur
roundings of this great natural wonder
into an eyesore Water power has a
practical value, of course, and the de-
veIopment of business is entitled to
consideration. Ii must not be forgotten,
however, that Niagara stands alone in
its impressiveness, and its dissertation
would be national calamity.
The saving of Niagara is a matter
that demands immediate attention on
the part of Congress.

An Experiment in St. Louis.

The human unit in the city, unless
he be buttressed by wealth or influence,
is as a voice crying in the wilderness
when he protests single-handed against
those civic iniquities which jar his soul.
He may complain to a corporation or to
public officials with all the emphasis at
his command, and yet secure no result.
To give real vitality to public pro-
test is the object of the new Civic
League of St. Louis, recently organized
with I Goo members. 1t purposes to pro-
vide for the small things as we'll as the
large necessities. If any member has
reason to complain of insanitary alleys,
damaged street lights, broken sidewalks,
infractions of the anti-Smoke ordinance,
&c, the league will press his grievance
before official attention with all the
pressure it can exert.
OF course, the present membership Of
the league is merely makeshift. 1t
hopes to become identified with all the
civic interests of St Louis, to enlist the
support and good will of its entire popu-
lation 1t can be made a powerful
factor in the political life of the city. 1t
proposes, first of all, to press through
number of complaints and learn just
where they get caught in the cogs of the
big municipal machine, and to compel
the establishment of bureau of COM
plants. where grievances may be regis
tered with the assurance that they will
be sorted out, forwarded to the proper
quarter. and remedied.
This is new phase of constructive
citizenship. The league will unques-
tionably soon have prototypes in other
large cities of the country.

PREVENTING HAIL.
Frenchmen Invent Device for Turn
ing 1t Into Rain.
From the Columbia State.

From the Columbia State.
The latest idea Of half prevention is
based on the French theory that hail
is an electrical phenomenon. 1t is as
sumed that atmospheric disturbances
draw tiny ice needles from the high
cirrus clouds down into clouds of vapor.
with much electrihcation from friction.
and that the attraction Of positively
electrified ice and negatively electrified
vapor enlarges the ice particles proper
tionateIy to the intensity of action. The
violence Of fall OF the hail thus formed
varies with the difference in electrical
ton OF the hall cloud and the earth.
To neutralize the electriication Comic
de Beauchamp in 1899 devised his Nj
agara electrique," a capacious conductor
consisting of a strip Of soft eIectroIytic
copper three inches and an eighth of an
inch thick. with a top Of six or
eight gilt-pointed copper leaves and a
bottom diffuser of many siIvered cop
per branches sunk in water, and
this was first applied to a church tower
800 feet high, near Poitiers. \ similar
conductor, with top comb of copper
points, has been placed by Gen. Negrier
on a steel mast 100 feet high. Two
other church towers having been equip
ped by NJ de Beauchamp. four hail-pre
venting posts. six miles apart, have
been in place since 1908; and it is esti-
mated that these protect an area OF
about three miles in the winds direc
ton and on either side and half mile
against the wind. Severe hailstorms
seem to turn to rain near these posts.
A new scheme proposes defending all
France by twelve lines OF these hail
arresters, which would, the promoters
insist, ahate much of the annual loss
by hail and lightning Of 10 lives and
S3S 10000 to 800 600 of crops.

Keeping the City Clean.

The police cannot be too active in
bringing into court all the persons re-
sponsible for the disgraceful occurrence
i'll this city few nights ago. The ex-
hibition ought not to have been allowed,
but il is not now too late to make All
example of those who were connected
with its inception and management.
The Washington Herald believes that
it performed a civic duty when it called
public attention to an event which might
otherwise have been ignored by the au-
thorities. The laws and regulations in
this city covering public performances
are very stringent, and if they are rigid
ly maintained, will insure decency and
responsibility everywhere If exhibi-
tions are improper, it is not because of
lack of law or of authority to enforce
the law
The moving picture theaters are, in
themselves, boon to very large pro-
portion of the population which cannot
afford to expend much money for enter
tainment. The programmes presented
are carefully selected, and it is safe to
say that in no city is the standard as
high as it is in Washington The fact
that moving pictures of questionable
character were shown in a public hall
after midnight does not reflect upon
those who cater TO public amusement
with motion views. They are very
properly emphatic in their condemnation
of the event
And now that the authorities appre-
ciate that grave offense has been COM
mitted and are earnestly seeking to
punish the offenders, we may happily
believe that similar occurrence will
not again shock the moral sense of the
community.
