CHANGED to be in Richmond yesterday
and went to Scout headquarters just
as the anal reports were being re
ceived, declared tt9t Richmond's CON
trihution to the 10y Scouts was. ne
believed. the largest per capita of any
city in the United States, He added
that the local campaign had likewise
been conducted at a lower cost than
any other campaign conducted on a
similar scale for the BOY Scouts
Compliments Workers.
President John Stewart Bryan, OF
the Richmond Scout Council, compli-
mented the workers for their efforts
in making the campaign success,
and DR.. Douglas Freeman praised the
manner in which the campaign had
been conducted.
Included in one OF the last reports
presented last night was a list of con-
tributions from the motormen and
conductors of the Virginia Railway
and Power Company. 1t was these
men who materially aided the Boy
Scouts in the safety first movement
last week. and their contribution was
highly appreciated.
With less than $4,000 in hand. the
eleven campaign teams began work
yesterday morning with greater en-
thusiasm than had been displayed in
the two preceding days and strenu-
goal set before nightfall. This. how
ever, was beyond their powers, but
the reports even as early as O'Clock
were highly encouraging. The feat
OF raising 50 900 In 80 limited time
is said TO have established recerC d
for any campaign ever conducted here
for $4,000 and the enthusiasm dis
played by the workers has never been
surpassed.
President Bryan officially stated last
night that no subscribers to this cam
paign will again be asked for con-
tributions to Scout work during the
next three years.
Has Given Generously.
Richmond has given generously to
this movement. which conclusively
shows that the services rendered the
city by the Scouts have not gone I'M
appreciated. Citizens have co-op-
Grated with the campaign in every
possible way and il is said that less
than two per cent CT the appeals made
for subscriptions have been declined.

THE PEOPLE AND THE LIBRARY

Within a short time the city council
will consider the municipal budget
for the coming year and among the
items entering into 1t will be the pub.
lic library We are well aware Of
the fact that the people expect the
city authorities TO exercise all possible
economy and we arc not proposing
extravaganza Of any sort but we do
believe II will pay to set aside a larg-
er sum for the support OF the library
than has been customary In the past.
During the past year according to
the report Of the librarian, there have
been a total Of 1906 book lendings
at our library, or an average OF some
thing like so per day, and this In ad-
dition to the large number OF school
children and adults who daily use the
reading rooms and consult the refer
ence books. The library Is open
every afternoon and evening, except
Sundays and holidays, and the use of
1t Is absolutely free. The growing
popularity Of the institution is indi.
Gated by the fact that during the year
0a5 new borrowers were registered,
the total number OF patrons whose
names now appear on the books be-
ing about $500
The total amount allowed for main
'tenance Of the library during the past
fiscal year was Sl57l93. Out Of this
sum the salary Of the librarian and
All incidental expenses. including jan
itor service, telephone. lights, fuel, re-
pairs etc, were paid, and number
of new books were purchased In all
1884 new volumes were placed on the
shelves during the year, part Of them
being gifts.
In the light OF the service perform
ed, Il would appear that the cost of
conducting the institution has been
Kept within very reasonable bounds.
That much larger service could be
performed and the wants of the pub.
lic be more adequately met by appro-
priating larger sum for the mainte-
nance Of the library Is self-evident.
The supply of books on hand is very
limited and money should be made
available for increasing IT, The addi-
tion OF few hundred dollars to the
city's budget for this purpose would
not be felt by the taxpayers but it
would contribute vastly to the eff
cheney of one Of our most important
public institutions.

The esteemed Tribune has been Off

There is no such intention as is

Hughes will reverse Mr.. Wilson's pol

The people Of the United States,

Whether he would reverse Mr.. VIII

Whether he would forbid Ameri.

Whether he would favor an embar-

1t is because Mr.. Wilson has dis
