t'oSo Ailt
THE crowded condition of the state
library is a matter of serious appre-
hension. The natural growth OF the
library has far overreached its ca
pacity, and at the present time valua-
Bile books are being piled on the floors
and In the corridors. While the board
of state auditors is exerting every
effort TO guard the building against
possible loss by fire, il is apparent
that there Is great danger from that
source. The destruction OF the Mich
iRan state library by fire would be an
Iirreparable loss To the people of this
state. have i'm mind al least four
sets of books which, II destroyed. IT
would be impossible to replace. These
are the records and briefs OF the
United States supreme court, the rec
Ords and briefs of the Michigan SUI
preme court. the original editions of
the English. Scotch and Irish law re-
ports and the collection of Michigan
newspapers These books represent
the accumulation of years. ana as
far as the records and briefs are con-
Icerned, they are absolutely beyond
duplication.
THE United States records and briefs
do not come into the market, unless
through the sale of an estate Of a
Judge of the United States supreme
court, who may have collected these
records. An incomplete set has just
been purchased by the state library of
New York for $l2 500, three times the
price paid by Michigan for it's more
nearly complete set. 1t is constantly
increasing in value and the time will
come when it will be beyond price.
Today this set stands absolutely un-
protected. The same is true with re-
gard to the Michigan records and
briefs, which could not. under any
circumstances, be replaced. If they
were destroyed ii would leave the
great state of Michigan without any
records of its supreme court. With
the exception, perhaps. of the public
library in Detroit, there is no place in
the state where the early Michigan
newspapers may be found. These pa
ptIS running Ddck lUlp 1857 are bpuHu
ond should be placed I'm a fire. proof
vault. They are stacked on the fourth
floor of the state library, from which,
in case of fire, il would be impossible
to move them. In the general depart
ment we have one of the finest collec
tions Of bound periodicals in the
United States. Many of these sets
could not be duplicated and their
financial vai.-n is 80 to $50 per cent
more than cas- paid for them.
1--WE hav~ in this state library
whose valU~ easily would be 100000,
and IL is ~ collection made with the
greatest care and represents the
growth of 80 years. AS ii stands to-
day this magnificent collection OF
books is absolutely at the mercy of
cigarette, and could be swept out of
existence in an hour. There are no
means OF removal in case a fire should
start in another part of the capitol.
The condition is serious, and may at
any moment become tragic"

Playing at the Recreation Ground on
Saturday against st. Ives, the Cam
borne footballers gave a splendid ac-
count of themselves ana with a. very
weakened team easily accounted for
the fishermen by 6 tries TO l goal. The
homesters were short of Wilson. Rice,
Loyelock and White, and Bailey came
in as fly half. Herein lay the secret
of Camborne's success, for Bailey gave
n glorious display. and besides scoring
two tries was always in the thick of
the fight leading up to many a fine
bout of passing There seems no doubt
that if Bailey is played at fly-half he
will be often more in the picture than
at present, and IL would not be sur
prising if in future he is played in
that position.
Eustice also obtained two good tries,
showing excellent speed and judgment.
The other two tries were obtained by
Warren and Lovelock Qorward).

preservation OF order and the perpet-
uity OF free institutions Senator Root
said:
IF this view is TO be changed and
the decisions Of our courts are to be
considered In the same way and upon
the same presumptions and with no
greater respect for authority than in
the case Of political opinions, the au-
thority of the courts will inevitably
decline, the independence Of the ju-
dicial branch will cease. judicial decis-
Ions will interpret the law always 10
suit the majority OF the moment. and
the recall will be the natural and log
zeal expression OF the relation to be
assumed between the people and the
courts"
The cause of this impotence said
Senator Root, does not arise from any
deterioration in the character of the
Judges and he stated IL as his belief
that there never had been a time when
the favor Of the rich or of men power
full in social or business affairs played
so small part i'm determining the Sc
lection of judges. Admitting technical
tiles and delays which impede the
course of justice, the speaker thought
the courts less responsible for these
shortcomings than the bar and justly
so inasmuch as the bar makes up a
great part of all the legislatures and
lis responsible for the stupid and mis-
chievous legislation regarding proceed
ure which hampers the courts in their
efforts to do justice"

The president is distinctly disre.
spectful to the house of representa-

ground that; in the absence of re-

The house has the constitutional right
to initiate revenue legislation, and
there is no provision in the constitu-
tion for tariff board. and congress
is under no obligations to exercise its
functions only in accordance with the
recommendations of such a body. Con.
