Every mind is centered upon this
moment in the big struggle for n IL
brary. Hundreds who have not been
drawn into the conflict are watching
with more OF less curiosity the field
of battle, ready to lend their ap-
plause and congratulations to the
victors. who. by dint Of faithful per-
formances, will carry home the spoi's
of war.
The Faternal Order Of Eagles are
showing alarming strength the last
two weeks, for they cast as many, If
not more, votes than the two weeks
prior, and this with some of the
merchants unreported. However, they
should bend every energy from now
on, for they have a majority to over
come. and II will take the right sort
of work to do it. A few thousand
votes is not a discouraging lead by
any means, and it only represents a
few purchases of everyday necessities
from contest merchants; and If the
truth we're known, the necessary
amount is expended every day, by the
families represented by this con-
testant.
Eden Lodge of Odd Fellows hasn't
really struck its gait yet, and the
coming week will undoubtedly pro-
duce something commemorative with
its strength, for things are due to
happen from that source.
That well-satisfied candidate. the
Jr. o. U. A. NJ, has been dangerous
from the start. The wonderful ac-
complishments Of this noble order in
upbuilding this fine fraternal organ
ization. reflects the indomitable will
and courage which has characterized
the work for years past, and every
one knew that when the Junior boys
became interested in the contest, the
word failure" was obsolete. Like all
their undertakings, the friends rail-
lied to the flag. and If there is one
among them who declines an oppor-
tunity to vote. it will be found a rare
instance, indeed.
In looking at the calendar we find
there is one more Saturday that THE
Il EVENING JOURNAL will contain the
contest report before the committee
assemblies to prepare the final result,

Why David Graham Phillips Once Lost
q Situation.
People who thought that the late

love that he could not have shirked

A story which he sometimes told at
his own expense illustrates this. 1t
was shortly after his graduation from
Princeton that he sought work as a
reporter and finally by offering his
services for nothing obtained chance
to show what he could do on the lead

The weather was cold and the tenn

low 60 degrees, yet hour after hour
Mr.. Phillips would sit at bis desk with
the moisture rolling from his brow in

The generosity of the late, King
Chulalongkorn Of Siam has brought
the little town of Homburg, the EN-
peror's favorite watering-p1ace, into
some trouble. Upon the occasion OF
his last visit to Homburg several
years ago, the King announced a gift
to the city of temple-like pavilion to
cover spring which had been named
in his honor. He also promised the
sum Of about $500 for erecting 1t
after it's arrival from Siam. It was
built and shipped according to prom
Use, but the King died before sending
the money for erecting it, and now the
city is wondering who will bear the
expense of putting it up.
1t was announced that the Bayreuth
summer opera season will be repeated
next year, the Wagner family having
departed In this instance from its
usual practice of having the operas
given only on alternate years The
reason for this change appears to be
connected with the expiration of the
Parsifal copyrights at the end Of 1913,
after which the famous opera will
naturally be placed upon the roper
