The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs

belongs 10 the family Of insects known
as millepedes or thousand footed. There
are several different species Of these.

acterisiic of having segmented bodies.
each segment Of which IS provided
with its own pair Of feet These are

Louisiana and Mississippi if they had
the right kind of labor.
The reason that Mississippi and Louis
lana have not realized their labor is be-
cause of their pride. They did not
want foreigners to come into their
State and mix with their blood, but
think at last they have overcome this
foolish pride and have realized the nec~S
cessity of immigration. Look at the
railroad facilities and the waterways of
both States and think of what could be
done in the South if the South had suf-
hcient labor. If you were to take the
lands lying between Ansley and Mi
chaud, on the L. & n. r. r., and place
this in the north of Holland under the
same conditions that exists here they
would be reclaimed in year and pro-
baby realize a value OF $500 an acre.
They are not so valuable here. Whyp
Because the population Of the South is
so tsmall. The marshes OF Louisiana
contain as good cypress as any State in
the u nion and yet it is not all used
Just look at the sulphur mines, the
salt mines and the oil fields of Louisia-
ma and think what could be done if she
should have suitable labor. Daniel
Boon is said to have paused when he
reached the highest pinnacle of the AL
leghanies on his Western journey and
put his hand to his ear as if to listen,
and some one near by asked; "Why do
you listen?" He said; "When look
Southwark at that vast valley that lies
out before me, methinks can hear the
footballs of millions of contented people
passing to and fro in the beautiful
Southland yonder, (under the fear of
God) living peaceful and happy lives"
for one think that immigration will
work incalculable benefit to the South
and hope that within few years We
shall see the people of these Southern
States of ours awakened to full reali-
cation of its value as means OF devel-
oping the great natural resources we
possess.

N. Y. LIBRARY OPENED.

The New York public library, the
most costly, and one of the most beauti-
full buildings designed for it's specific
uses in the world, was dedicated to the
instruction and convenience of the pub
lie on Wednesday of this week by
President Taft, Governor Dix, Mayor
Gaynor and a distinguished represen-
tation of the culture of the entire ma
tion. It holds shelf room for $500, 900
volumes; it has floor space of 375, 900
feet, as against $4,000 feet in the con-
gressional library at Washington, and
it has cost for erection merely more
than StO,0O0,000, figure which, when
all details have been attended to, may
rise to $t2,0O0,O00. The land on which
it stands-fronting two blocks on Fifth
avenue, between Fortieth and Forty
second street, was last valued at S2O,-
100000.
Three foundations, originating in
private beneficence, merge in the pres
ent public foundation - the Astor
library, incorporated in 1S49; the Lenox
library, incorporated in 1870; and the
Tilden trust, incorporated in 1887. The
city, empowered by special act of the
legislature, gave the land and betrayed
the cost of erection. Carrere and Hast
ings were the architects. John Car
rere, one of the moving spirits IN the
American renaissance of the present
generation, was run down by taxicab
and died before he could see his great
est work established as part of the
life of the community.
At the time of consolidation, the AS
tor library owned its site and building
and had an endowment OF $94l 900, with
an annual income of $47, 900 and 267, 900
volumes; the Lenox library owned its
site and buildings and had an endow-
ment of S5O5 200, an income of $4,000
and $4,000 volumes, and the Tilden
trust owned 10000 volumes and had an
endowment OF S2,0O0,00O. The New
York public library. therefore, opens
with a total endowment of S3,446, 800
and $4,000 books on the shelves.
Within the next twenty-five years ten
times as many are expected-3, ,700, 900.
The catalogue room now has 100000
cards and can rise to 100000 without
| feeling cramped.
Nine years ago next November the
cornerstone was laid by Mayor Seth
Low. Since then criticism has been
abundant, not always well informed and
often conflicting. In great measure the
public has been hampered in any true
appreciation of the building as whole
by the fragmentary and ragged state of
its approaches. Said John w. Alexan~
der, the painter: "The public library
reminds me of beautiful woman who
hasn't Kept her fngernails clean" All
that has now been done away with. The
approaches have been cleared and the
building stands free to the public gaze
as the architects planned.

In Toilette on Interest. "

n not Senator La Toilette somewhat
hasty In his declaration that no senator
should vote on q question which. how
ever remotely. affects an interest OF his
own? This is rather q large order which
he gives TO the legislators, the filling OF
which would cause q virtual revolution
In our lawmaking system. Consider the
possibilities Of government under the La
Toilette theory OF absolute non-partici-
patton In the business affected by the
enactments Of Congress. The national
legislature would need to be peopled by
men practically with nothing but their
salaries. No man could take seat in
the House or Senate holding a share of
stock or owning a bond, or even pos
sessing title to real estate. For virtu-
ally everything IN the way of business.

The Chicago Aviation Deaths.

A proposition having been made that
the Oregon should lead the procession
Of vessels that shall open the Panama
canal. some one writes to New York
paper that the commander of the Ore
gon on her famous circumnavigation of
the western hemisphere should not be
forgotten. This Is well as far as It goes,
but II honor is to be given where honor
is due 1t does not go far enough. The
achievement Of the oregon was mainly
= matter Of steam engineering, and If
the captain shall be honored. shall the
chief engineer be forgotten? We regret
to say that we do not remember his name.
and we fear no one else does, but 1t was
the chief engineer who kept those ma
chimes working in such perfect order that,
after making an astonishing voyage, the
Oregon was able to join the fleet off San
tiago. and take a leading part in the
battle without an overhauling. In those
days. too. the engineers were specially ed

Women's Capacity.

From the Rochester Post Express
Miss Margaret Kelly's promotion to the
position of director OF the United States
mint has called forth a lot of comment,
much Of which has In It considerable un-
conscious humor. There Is an undercur-
rent OF surprise, though why any one
should be surprised at woman's success
in business or professional life is difficult
to understand. And as for management,
a moments consideration of what woman
has done at this for centuries-with a
man, with a hat, with an income or with
no income-will convince any fair-mnded
person that q mint presents no difficulties
to a woman. The most amazing phase
OF the so-called woman question is the
surprise evidenced when one Of them
achieves anything notable. 1t would
seem that intelligent capacity had never
come to beings so unexpectedly.

Ambassador Bryce.

From the Indianapolis Star.
The Senate's View Of Ambassador Bryce
as q scheming and crafty diplomat of
wide experience, whose influence led to
the giving of too much oldworld domi-
nance to the peace treaties, Is rather
amusing In view OF the facts. Mr.. Bryce
Is now filling his first diplomatic mission,
having been appointed to represent Great
Britain in the United States in 1907. Con-
sidering the entire absence of any inter-
national issues Of any consequence since
that time, II hardly seems, on careful re-
flectiOn. that he can have acquired much
political guile.

Peace and the People.

The peace treaties 80 over, and the
President appeals to the people. He asks
them to Judge between himself and the
Senate as to whether as negotiated the
treaties deprive the Senate Of any pow
ers II rightfully possesses. He insists that
they do not. and argues the case from his
viewpoint Doubtless. in some form. the
Senate, or individual senators. will add
something to what has already been said
IN support OF the Senate's side OF the
matter, and then the battle will be regu-
larry on.
It IS not q party question. Mr.. Lodge,
q republican, favors amending the treat
les in the same line that Mr.. Bacon. a
democrat, does. Neither offers himself
a q champion Of his party. but both
offer themselves as champions OF the
Senate As they see 1t. the case Is one
where all senator's should stand to-
Retier In support Of the senatorial con-
ception Of senatorial right and privilege
and duty.
The November election results may not
reflect anything Of value on the subject.
This being an or year, with only few
state campaigns in progress, there VIII
be no opportunity for q general can
vass from the stump. But In the press
and from the pulpits-the churches are
greatly interested-much will be said. and
public sentiment sounded and created In
that way. So that by December we
should have no little light as to what the
country desires done with instruments
important in themselves and forecast
ing action OF like character In other d.
rections.
The question as presented by the Sem
ate Is a little technical AS presented by
the President It Is a little sentimental.

that the preservation Of its own I'm

power IS essential In the cause Of peace
