Their leader was authorized to make
recommendations to the committee. with
the understanding that the minority
membership of the committees was to
represent his best judgment. He pro-
ceeded accordingly, and his recommends
tons were accepted. Mr.. Madison was =
member of the rules committee on the
recommendation of Mr.. Mann.
There was nothing to be said against
Mr.. Campbell on the score Of ability or
good party standing. and doubtless Mr..
Mann measured him by that standard
But the insurgents wanted man OF
their own, and wanted him SO badly they
were willing to make another record of
insurgency before the country.
Maybe there Is no risk in the statement
that this is not getting together. The
faction fighting lost the Kansas district.

The democrats yesterday were justified
in the politics they played. In supporting
Mr.. Mann. Mr. Underwood supported him
self. He represents organization OF his
side. as Mr.. Mann does on his. But the
opportunity and temptation to increase
the heat of the republican snarl was
great. and many democrats did what they
could in that direction. They did not feel
themselves bound as their leader did on
the point of strict organization procedure.

The Branch Library Appropriation,

The condition on which Andrew Car
negie made separate donation of money
for branch library buildings In the Dis
trict of Columbia was that the govern
ment should provide in annual mainte-
nance of each branch library 10 per cent
of the buildings cost. The government
recognized this condition and in the
statute authorizing the acceptance of the
donation and the erection of the first
branch library stipulated that the main
tenance of the Takoma Park branch
should not exceed 10 per cent of the cost
of the building. The result of these two.
stipulations is that precisely 10 per cent
of the cost of the Takoma Park branch
library building or $4,000. must be ap-
propr:ated annually for the maintenance
of the branch. More than that cannot be
expended without violating the law: less
than that cannot be expended without
breaking faith with Andrew Carnegie
The appropriations committee in the
pending District bill proposes for the
maintenance of the Takoma Park branch
library not $1,000 as estimated. but less
than 5000. and the three small-salaried
employees now serving in the Takoma
Park branch under separate appropria-
ton are injected into the main library
appropriation. with the misleading result
of suggesting an increase of the library
force by three. Instead of an increase of
the library appropriation for 1913 over
1912 an absolute decrease is proposed. and
this in face of the convincing demonstra-
ton that the wonderful growth of the
library's activities and usefulness abso-
lutely demands substantial increase in
its working force if this work, SO val
liable to the community. is not to be Grip
pied. The House appropriations commit
tee has in this matter regarded neither
the dictates of municipal wisdom nor the
requirements of good faith.

The House yesterday Endorsed the Sc

Mr. Madison was an insursent. and the

fact that underneath the burning Equita-
