The Big Loan in Court.

A suit filed in Chicago by a policy
holder of a large mutual insurance
company, to prevent investment of

billion dollar loan to the European
allies, may result in some interesting
court proceedings and disclosures. If
pressed, this action may bring to the
witness stand some of the leading
participants in the transaction. of

seeks information regarding the man
ner in which the securities are being
marketed The unique plea is adj
vanced that the investment of the in

designed to aid the enemies of Ger
many will provoke bitterness. among
pro-German policyholders and cause
them to withdraw, thereby weakening
the company and endangering the in

on the question Of whether this
ground suffices to afford standing
room for sutton in equity.

Government Publicity.

The Department of Commerce is
going to tell the people of the United
States all about itself, its objects, its
purposes and its reasons for being a
government department. The de-
partment has directed one Of its spe-
cial agents to tour the country and
inform the people, especially the
people engaged in business-as near
ly all people are-how the Depart
ment OF Commerce can and perhaps
will serve them in the extension of
their business into foreign fields. The
commission to the special agent is
that he is to instruct the American
business man as to foreign fields for
American commerce.
The inference from all this is that
the Department of Commerce knows
that cit pays to advertise" and it
seems rather to acknowledge that the
government bulletins and other gov
eminent publications do not exactly
ill the bill or reach the spot. One
of the innovations in the administra-
ton of. . aumber of the executive

departments was the appointment of
press agents. or publicity agents, for
the dissemination among newspapers
of information which the depart
nents were particularly DESTROYS of
disseminating, and perhaps these off,
cial diss eminators have accomplished
great good.
1t may be that the departments of
the government of the United States
will finally recognize what every bust
ness institution has already rccog-
nized, that the effective advertising
medium is the newspaper. Such ad-
vertising as the departments get
now is through the newspapers. but
this advertising is not always pre-
pared and displayed as the depart
r1ents would have it. Perhaps after
while each department may have
its "sd" writing bureau or there may
be new executive department of
the government known as the de-
partment of publicity, with a secre-
tary of publicity as a member of the
cabinet.

Women and Preparedness.

In her address at the D. A. r. an
niversary meeting yesterday the
president general said:
Every woman should take part in
dividually in the campaign among
American women for sufficient ma
tional defenses which will insure
peace and prosperity for this nation
and enable us 70 stand up in the
council of the nations a strong nation
among the strong and be protecting
friend of the weak. Our destiny is
a high one as nation and the women
of the country have as definite duty
today as they had in the time that
tried the souls of men and women
in 1916"
A fine note. timely sounded, and
amply warranted by the record. In
all our wars the women have borne
a noble and important part; and the
women of today are as patriotic and
resolute as any gone before. In 1916.
1872, 1896, 1861. and 1898 the women
of America shared with the men in
the spirit which appraised the coun-
try's duty and shaped the country's
performance. They did their part
with a devotion which inspired
fathers, husbands, brothers, sweet
hearts with guns in their hands to
their most heroic endeavors.
We have just witnessed in this town
an exhibition of how this spirit con-
tinucs. Much of the credit of enter
tanning the Grand Army of the Re-
public was due to women. Not only
the affiliated orders composed of
women, but other women here and
elsewhere concerned themselves with
the occasion, and contributed some
of the best and most effective touches

President and Party.

Discussion of the proposition that
the President is better and stronger
than his party continues, and even
grows. and on it rests i'll measure
the claim that the democracy will be
successful next year. Mr.. Wilson is
expected to pull his party. through.
In considering the matter 1t Is I'M
portant to remember an advantage
Mr.. Wilson enjoys by reason OF his
Office His denomination seems GER
tainty. His party is tied to him. II
it desired to do so it could not turn
him down without peril, and maybe
disaster, to itself To put the stigma
of failure upon him would be to con-
fess failure for itself. A republican
walkover would inevitably follow.
Reelection is a different thing.
When the campaign opens the democ-
racy as we'll as the President will
come under the examination OF the
electorate. The questions then will
be. How much better is the President
than his party? and Why is he better
at all?
Embraced in these two questions
are other questions. If the President
by reason of being better and strong
err than his party pulls his party
through, what will be his influence
over it for good during the new lease
of power? What will he be able to
secure in the way of legislation? How
loyalty may his party be expected to
support him in his general policies?
The compliment to the President is,
of course, at the expense of his party.
If he is necessary to its salvation,
why? This brings up the record,
which consists of action on the tariff,
the trusts, the currency, and no ac-
ton as yet on the national defense.
We have a new tariff law, new
currency law, and new trust regula-
tons. The promise was that such
legislation would restore business
confidence and produce prosperity.
But such has not been the result. Not
altogether due to the war, business,
except in a few lines stimulated by
the war, still languishes. The tariff
needs revision for both revenue and
ess-encouragement purposes, and
business is considerably puzzled by
the new trust regulations.
The country will vote next year to
commit its affairs. not to one man,
however strong and good, but to a
party. Ours is government by
party; and the two leading parties
will confront each other for the suf-
frage of the people.
The democratic party has another
chance before voting day. 1t is still
in full control, and at the coming ses-
sion of Congress will be asked to
remedy difficulties which in part it
is charged with having produced; and
upon the record then made will de-
pend its hope OF Endorsement in No
vernber of 1916. II it gets through
it must be by its own exertions. II
it fails, it is much more likely to pull
the President down than he to pull
it up, and through.

Public Library Needs.

In their report to the District CON-
missioners the trustees of the public
Library render an accounting OF
library usefulness and development
that must have weight in determining
the treatment of that institution by
Congress in the framing OF the next
appropriation bill In every depart
ment the library has advanced re-
markedly, until it is now one of the
most valuable factors in the educa-
tional equipment OF the District. This
progress has been accomplished de-
spite inadequate financial Mamie
nance and is the more remarkable on
that account. Last year the Commits
sioners urged the librarys needs on
Congress earnestly, but without Sc
curing the needed measure of appro-
priations increase, and once again
the trustees are looking to them for
assistance in obtaining funds in pro-
portion to the establishment re-
quirements.
Comparisons are given effectively in
the course OF the report to prove
that the Districts Public Library is
inadequately, financed. 1t is shown
that the Washington library COM
pares unfavorably with similar insti-
buttons in other cities in aggregate
appropriations, in per capita library
expenditures, in the percentage of
total municipal expenditures applica-
BILE to library purposes, and in the
proportionate relation of municipal
library expenditures to school expend-
itures. The Districts library expend-
itures could be increased over 60 per
cent and then not exceed the average
percentage of library expenditures in
all American cities.
The local library needs larger and
better paid force. 1t has suffered
heretofore from the loss of skilled
workers because of the lack of funds,
and it will continue to be thus handi-
capped until Congress increases the
appropriation sufficiently to insure
the retention of trained men and
women.
Statistics of the Hbrary's growth
demonstrate clearly the justice OF the
trustees plea for larger appropria-
ton. Despite all difficulties and the
necessity of making shift with made
quate funds, in the eleven years of
service of DR.. Bowerman, the present
highly efficient librarian, the distrib-
uting agencies have been increased
from to I66, the book stock has
grown from 64,47o to 1918 volumes,
or I78 per cent; the home circulation
has advanced from 278,I78 volumes in
a year to 8o2,o88, or 1873 per cent the
fiction reading has fallen from 81 to
S per cent of the whole, and the chill
dren's books circulation has grown
from 4S,278 to 3o2,sIo volumes.
An institution that enters so large
ly and intimately into the life of the
community as these figures indicate
should receive the most considerate
treatment by Congress, and the pres
emit hope is that in the framing of the
District budget for the coming fiscal
wear the trustees estimates, totaling
the moderate sum of SIoI,92Q, will be
accepted.
