SENATOR DUPONT AND THE MEDICAL LIBRARY,
the army and navy gossip Of the Washington Post
OF Sunday we ind the following relative TO Col
onel Henry A. DUPONT senior United States Senator
from Delaware
The library OF tho surgeon generals Office of the
United States army in Washington will be moved TO
and become part the library OF Congress be-
fore January l. 1915. If the amendment to the army
appropriation BILL suggested by Senator dupont Of
Delaware, is adopted This library is a large medical
library considered OF the finest in the world, and
without doubt the complete in the United States
II is located at Seventh and streets southwest with
tho Army Medical Museum and while the building Is
supposed TO be hreproof, II is not modern building
and it is considered dangerous 70 allow the library
10 remain there indefinitely. The sum of $4,000 has
been Appropriated for several years for the upkeep Of
this library and for the addition publications
medical subjects This library is not used exclu-
sively by members of the army medical corps, but Is
library for the medical profession OF the United states
When the army appropriation bin being considered
by the Senate committee ON military affairs, Senator
dupont suggested that library for the and advan-
age OF the whole medical profession of the United
States ought to be part and parcel of the national
library and that the army ought 20 be relieved its
and inumated that he would be glad TO take any such
items of expense out OF the army appropriation bill
and leave appropriations for the army TO be devoted
TO us specific purposes. This library Is considered
invaluable to the medical profession because It con-
tains all the latest literature medical matters and
al foreign periodicals. and by a system of exchange
date with all medical literature. Each army post has
small library Of medical books, hut the Army Medical
Library is the only library showing the immense
amount of work that has been done by the medical
profession OF the world. An attempt was made TO
place value upon the library. but the medical officers
attending the hearings were unable to do although
they suggested that Il was probably worth s1O0O0oO
We have no doubt that the members of the medical
fraternity throughout the United States will appreciate
fully the thonghtfuness which prompted Senator du-
Pont to suggest such amendment The alacrity
with which Secretary of War Garrison acted upon the
suggestion also is clear indication of his recogni-
tion of its practical value in the way relieving the
War Department OF expense, increasing the useful
ness Of library of such great value and protecting
It against the neyerremote contingency Of dostruc-
ton by fire.

MRS. HnLEs AND orR srArE.

TAT RS. FLORENCE BAYARD HILLEs has done the
III suffrage cause in Delaware no good by
her assertion that Delaware is ignorant and pre-
JUDGED little State and IL needs stirring up" 1t is
statement which is offensive as it is unfounded
and which will not popularize, in the minds
Delaware people. either her or the cause she has
espoused 1t with particularly poor grace from
a member Of a family which owes the high honors
it has enjoyed to the friendly interest Delawareans
in its welfare
Il is unfortunate that Mrs. Hes induged in utter
ance extrayagant and offensive to the people OF
our little commonwealth, who for many decades de-
lighted in showering without stint, their highest hon
upon her forbears none Of whom ever was so
unwise to denounce our State either publicly or
privately, being either ignorant or preiudiccd
In many respects Mrs. Hilles is an admirable woman
She is keen. intelligent and earnest Naturally she
should be- in heart and mind. a Delawarean Of Della
Those things being true, It only is chara-
bic to that what she said the result of mo-
mentary mental excitement and excess Of zeal to
make point In behalf Of a movement which never
can be forwarded by such abuse Of a commonwealth
in which it is being propagatod.
Our firm conviction that calm reflection will con-
vince Mrs Hllles whom always have esteemed most
highly, that she has made mistake, not only in
attacking the intelligence and far-mndedness of her
native State but also in assaing the integrity of at
least portion Of its judiciary

THE IMPENDING cONFERENCE.

THE Wilmington Methodist Episcopal Conference.
which viii meet in Berlin. Nd this evening and
begin active business sessions tomorrow promises TO
be noteworthy because OF two features One is that
as result Of its work there probably will be fewer
pastoral changes than heretofore. The other is that
the question Of merging this conference and the Phil
adelphia Conference viii come up for consideration
and decision
So far the first feature concerned il is inti-
mated that not more than one-ffth Of the members
OF the conference viii change pasorates an unusu-
ally small number for the Wilmington Conference
As to the second feature there is abundant evidence
that the merger proposition which originated by
certain pastors stationed in this city. win be com
bated vigorously by those who that conference
pride and Peninsula pride should prevent even a SER
suggestion that the Wilmington Conference lose
its identity in the Philadelphia Conference.
The territory embraced by the Wilmington Confer
ence is the entire DeImaryia Peninsula. 1t contains
between 75 and 200 pastorates with many preach
ers and thousands CT lay members. II will be realized

Sir: Genius, it is maintained by all

nature, az evidence, genius does rarely
or never begct genius. Il is the ten
dency of nature to produce the normal
type Al birth every child, unless 1t
is freak, has in it every potentiality
for good and bad tendencies, and il IS
only by,education and environment that
the bad tendencies may be suppressed
and the good ones elevated.
What KIND of an environments and
which form of education will best pro-
mote in every chiiu its good and dwarf
the bad characteristics, has as yet not
been determined, besides each child, as
each adult, is a law unto itself
Still parents and pedagogues are con-
tinually trying 10 better conditions so
that each child might come out the good
citizen which nature made it possible
for IL TO become. But from the fact
that all are trying SO hard, it is evi-
dent that the child is little understood,
and in our desperate attempts through
parental influence on lack of IL, through
education or lack Of il, and through
all other social influences or lack of
them, We often turn out pretty bad
specimens.
From the time of Jean Jacus Rosseau
and Pestalozzi to our own day with
Montessori the child problem Is un-
der discussion.

climax COMES IN
THE Tolls FIGHT
House Crowded to Hear
Speaker Clark Oppose
the Repeater
CHAMP MAY CAUSE
A VOTE STAMPEDE
BY bond p. GEDDEs.

staff Correspondent Of the United Press
WASHINGTON. March 31.-Before
an audience and membership half
frenzied with excitement the crisis
Of the Panama tolls fight was reached
in tho House late this afternoon.
The stage was set for the most dra-
matte climax to a legislative situa-
tion since the famous rules fight five
years ago. That climax was not so
much the mere voting on the Presi-
dents plan for repeal of the tolls
exemption on American ships using
the Panama Canal It was In the
appearance of Speaker Champ Clark,
The vote IN favor of the repeal was
concede by proponents and adver-
saries alike unless Clark should
stampede" the House. Clark, who so
bitterly contested Wilson for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
was announced to make the supreme
speech of his political life" He was
TO reply to bitter charges of split
ting" the party.
Thrill followed thrill during the
debate. Mostly the speakers were
leaders OF the three great political
parties. The less prominent members
had spoken their words in the earlier
days of the debate. The closing
hours were yielded to the political
giants for their forensic struggle.
Every seat i'm every House gallery
reserved, public, diplomatic and cNecu-
tiye-was jammed by 10 o'clock, when
the doors opened. SOmc spectators ar
rived with breakfasts and lunches before
y. Every House member and many seu-
ators aud high administration officials
were on the floor and in the galleries.
Clark's speech was kept closely guard
ed. lie refused 10 give advance copies
to the press gallery. it was autholita-
lively stated, however. that he would
refrain from attacking the president and
those Democrats who have scored him
for breaking with the administration on
the tolls issue. and would confne his
speech TO a strong statement, without
bitter personalities.
Representative Humphrey assailed
the Presidents diplomatic policy. say
ing: "The truth Is that the Presi-
dent fears Japan and desires the sup
port OF Great Britain. The President
and Secretary Bryan have been great
ly outwitted in the fiel dot diplomacy. "
Asserting that the administration
was aiding General villa and his
bloody assassins,' Humphrey shout
ed
"If this bill passes, Huerta has lost
us the canal"
1T was once written" he continued,
that the ass knows his masters
whip. In a few hours we shall wit
ness the sight of the Democrats dem
onstrating that they are still worthy
of their illustrious prototype''
Representative Kent ofrCalifornia
Independent, who represents "40O
miles OF Pacific coast" said he could
not agree that there is a unanimous
sentiment on the coast for repeal"
He said free tolls were no more
than a ship subsidy.
This Is no place for ministers
son. commented Representative
Thomas Of Kentucky, who is such
a son, in discussing the tolls situa-
tion on the floor this afternoon
That's because there's been SO much
ill-will in the debate"
incidentally, he paid his respects
to Representative Lafferty. Of Oregon
saying he had Jumped around like
a tomtit on pump-handle."

therefore, that the impending conference excites lively
public interest, from Caymont to Cape Charles and
from the Delaware to the Chesapeake. Nor is that in
terest restricted by any MEANS TO Methodists.
That the public may be kept fully informed Of the

porters TO that place with instructions TO give to our
readers the possible reports Of the proceedings
