Caesar and the Empire.

The reason why the Roman EN-.
pire succeeded the republic" was that
there was felt to be an urgent need of
strong central power. For many
years the republic mad been desolated
and the cry OF the whole people was
for peace-peace almost at any price,
Now, peace could be secured only by
the ascendancy OF a single man, rul-
ing with absolute and Irresistible
sway. So the people acQuiesced In the
change. They even hailed It with Joy.
A few patriots like Brutus and Cato
gave up in despair. but most men
were pleased with the revolution
which made Caesar supreme. Not
that they were monarchistic at heart,
but that after the devastating strife
they wanted peace. even though It be
at the sacrifice of some OF their liber.

Annual Report of Public Library,

The annual report Of the public library
OF the city of Watertown, compiled by
the librarian, Miss Gabrielle Ackley, is
given here. The report shows a healthy
condition Of affairs at this popular edu-
catiOnal institutions:
The public library has, on July /. be-
gun its tenth fiscal year. On March of
1913, Watertown will have had library
fer ten years. A suitable celebration
will probably be held at that time.
The following statistics show some
thing of its usefulness to the public,

The building has been greatly beauti-
fed by two lamps for the entrance; the
same donor who gave the lamps has Civ
eli drinking fountain and pavilion for
the library park. Plants, shrubs and
ferns given by well wishers make the
library and its park attractive.
Gifts of books by individuals and sub
scripticns of magazines bv the Saturday
and COrby clubs have added much to the
pleasure of the readers. The library's
subscription to periodicals, with its
gifts, being very satisfactory to the pub

The number of borrowers in proportion
to the population is above the average,
as the borrowers cards are live cards.

borrowers have been added this year,
necessitating buying an unusual numb
er of books for youngest readers.
Several teachers in the grades. as we'll
as in the high school have helped by
suggestion and personal effort to get
the children to read good books.
The freshmen and sophomore classes
have been instructed in the use of the
card catalogue and reference books.
Because the library must be demo-
cratic to fulfill its function, it has been
necessary to buy more fiction than other
books; still in spite of the constant de-
mand for fiction, it is gratifying to
know that more books on nOn-fctiOn
have been issued than ever before. The
greatest increase is in sociology which
is subdivided into books about political
