The Soldiers Libraries.

One of the most important branches
of the war work is that of providing
for the entertainment and diversion of
the troops during their periods in
training. Several hundred thousand
men will be held in camp for months,
engaged during the greater. part of the
day in the hardest kind of work, but
with some hours of leisure. It is
urgently necessary that these men have
reading matter, that each camp be sup
piled with books where those who wish
can read and relax from the strenuous
tasks of camp routine. An organization
has been effected to this end and plans
are formed for supplying the reading
needs of the National Army in a way
that will distribute the cost widely.
Washington's quota of the camp IL
brary fund is $4,000, and it is pro-
posed to raise this amount by the sale
Of book plates. For one dollar any
person can have a book plate with his
name pasted into one of the volumes
that will be put into the cantonment
camp libraries. This will 60 to pur-

Now and then the suggestion is made
that judge should not be eligible for
political Office, or a politician for a
judicial office. We shall probably not
see any such rule adopted. Experience
counsels against it. Many men have
gone from the bench into politics and
served. with distinction there, while
more have gone from politics to the
bench and interpreted laws to the pub
lie satisfaction and benefit.
1t is easy to see that a judge who
should shape his decisions for effect on
any political aspiration he might have
would miss his mark. No party would
want him for candidate, nor any
electorate be likely to choose him for
political Office. On the contrary, he
would become impossible henceforth for
a public trust of any kind.
The public may be relied upon in this
matter. If a man on the bench can
serve and wants to serve elsewhere, or
q man elsewhere shows fitness for serv-
ice on the bench, the opportunity for a
change should be open

Politics and the Bench.

The candidates. in several sections Of
the country of judges for political Office
has started fresh criticism on the sub
jeet. A great deal was said last year
when the republicans went to the Su-
preme Court for their candidate for
President. Mr.. Hughes was so clean of
life and record, and looked so formi-
dable, his opponents for awhile were con-
fined almost exclusively to their charge
that, because of the judicial Office he
was holding at the time, he should not
have been taken. He had not offered
for the nomination, but had been
drafted
Mr.. Hughes was not defeated because
of this criticism. In fact, it cut but
small figure in the campaign. The peo-
pie "forgot it." SO to say. They be-
came more interested in other matters
relating to the candidate. He was re-
ferred to as Mr.. Hughes; and his ca
reer before his acceptance of place
on the bench proved under discussion
of great benefit to his party. He missed
election by few thousand votes in a
state normally republican, and over
whelmingly republican at that time.
That Mr.. Hughes would have made a
strong President is deducible from the
strength he exhibited in other places.
Strength shown at the bar brought him
into political notice, and landed him in
the governors chair; and strength
shown at Albany brought him into
notice for place on the highest bench

these cantonment libraries Will be
available to thousands Of men. And
these men will be book hungry In q
few weeks from now. They will have
some periodicals and other reading
matter sent from home, but they will
need books as well. The library fund
will supply miscellaneous reading and
much can be done by the folks back
home in sending them, especially when
the troops go abroad, newspapers and
magazines, and scrap books that will
furnish diversion indefinitely.
There will be definite satisfaction to
the donor of dollar to the war library
fund in that he will be making di-
rect personal gift that will be recorded.
His name on a book plate is certain
sooner or later to be found by one who
knows him, and it will be as message
of personal cheer and encouragement to
the soldier. Washington's quota should
be promptly supplied.

Law and Order in Virginia.

| Law and order were indicated in
Virginia yesterday at the trial of a
negro man at Fairfax Court House
charged with assault on two white
women. The charge was sustained, and
the jury, in thirty minutes, gave YER
dict of guilty. Death is the punish
ment The accused had the benefit of
counsel, and all the forms observed
| were regular.
So revolving crime naturally aroused
| when first disclosed the greatest ex-
citement, and talk about lynching was
heard at once. Mob rule in the case
seemed imminent
Fortunately for the reputation Of the
state, the responsible officials were
equal to the emergency. They took
immediate steps to protect the prisoner
Gov. Stuart responded with frmness to
the appeal to him, ordered the prisoner
to Richmond for safe-keeping, and an
nounced a purpose to have the law re-
spected at all hazards.
As the result of this course, it was
possible yesterday to try in open court,
in the community where a few weeks
before mob rule had been threatened,
the man accused of the blackest of of.
fenses. Indictment and arraignment
had been prompt. and the excitement
had subsidized The only feeling re-
manning was desire for justice under
the law; and justice was fully meted
out.
Mobs have no case. There is no ex-
cuse for them. Laws cover crimes,
courts are open, and the proper ap-
peal is to them.
In all such matters much depends on
officers elected by the people to en-
force the laws. If they are Lax in the
discharge of their duties, the laws fall
into contempt. If they are strict and
firm, and show full appreciation of the
meaning of their commissions, the laws
accomplish the objects of their enact
ment. The official, high or low, who
fails in his duty inficts an injury on
the public.
These Virginia officials met the sever
est test. They were called upon under
their oaths to protect a person for
whom if guilty nobody could feel the
slightest sympathy. But, as they clear
ly saw, in protecting him they were
protecting order and civilization. They
could not abandon him without aban-
doning that for which the state existed.
And SO they kept faith with themselves
and those they were representing.
1t is record in which they should
feel pride. Gov. Stuart in particular
carried himself with admirable resolu-
tion throughout the affair, and showed
the qualities long associated with the
high Office he fills.

Submarine DISTINCTIONS.

The British admiralty's weekly report
on the sinking of merchantmen by
German submarines presents singular
anomaly in that whereas the smallest
number of vessels above 1000 tons were
lost last week since the beginning Of
unrestricted Uboat warfare, the largest
number under 1000 tons, with one ex-
ception, suffered destruction. There
was drop from twelve to eight of the
larger ships and rise from six to
twenty of the smaller from the week
before, and the total, twenty-eight, was
the highest since the week ending June
II, though probably the total tonnage
was one of the smallest for many
weeks. The admiralty's method Of re-
porting, by ships without giving their
tonnage, leaves the total of destruction
always in doubt. The fact that twenty
eight vessels Of all tonnage were lost
during the week, as against eighteen the
week before, indicates that there has
been no diminution in submarine activ-
ity, but, on the contrary, probably con-
centration of the U-boats on the smaller
craft. The comparative immunity of
the larger vessels is probably due to
their speed and better handling. Last
weeks toll was an average Of four Brit
ish ships day Of all tonnage. Nobody
knows what the output of the British
shipyards is. But, whether the net Of
destruction is greater than the net Of
construction, British commerce is not
being eliminated at a rate to menace
England with starvation within an ap-
preciable time. The U-boat campaign,
which brought the United States Into
the war, has not justified itself.

Argentina and Germany.

Argentina's senate has caused dis
tinct surprise by an emphatic vote, 70
to l. to break off diplomatic relations
with Germany. 1t was thought that
even though public feeling had been
outraged by the revelations of German
duplicity at Buenos Aires there would
be no further action than the dismissal
of the German minister as persona non
grata Apparently. however, Argentina
realizes that the adjustment effected on
the submarine issue was not sincere on
.Germany's part and that no security
was afforded to Argentinas interests
thereby. Although Luxberg's dispatches.
in the course of which he recommended
the sinking of Argentine ships without
a trace, preceded the settlement reached
between Berlin and Buenos Aires, they
unquestionably had bearing upon the
spirit of the agreement. Argentinas
indignation was fully justified when the
dispatches made public in Washington
revealed the sinister nature of the Ger
man diplomacy.
A breach of diplomatic relations be-
tween Argentina and Germany does not
necessarily mean the entrance of Ar
gentina into the war actively, though
that may be the result. 1t does, how
ever, remove Argentina from the coterie
of neutral states and thus shuts off her
supplies entirely from the German mar
ket. Argentina can scarcely sever dip
lomatic relations and fail to express her
hostility toward Germany in terms of
practical cooperation with Germany's
enemies. Doubtless an understanding
will be reached with this government
whereby the American embargo against
shipments to neutrals save on positive
guarantees against transshipments into
Germany will extend to Argentine ex-
ports, if the action of the senate at
Buenos Aires is followed by the cham
Der of deputies, which is regarded as
virtually assured, in view of the fact
that the lower house is more directly
representative of the people, among
whom at this time an intense anti-Ger-
man feeling prevails.
This break between Argentina and
Germany virtually puts an end to Ger
manic influence in South America, in
which quarter the government at Berlin
has for many years been making sys-
tematic effort at exploitation and
colonization. Particularly in Argentina
has German enterprise been pressed.
Immense amounts of German capital
were invested there, in all forms of
business. In no other country of South
America is Germany SO strongly in
trenched as in Argentina, and it was
thought that the influence that she pos
sessed. there would wholly prevent any
breach between the two governments.
The declaration by the Argentine senate
is, therefore, the more significant, and
it may have profound effect in other
parts of South America

VERY DANGEROUS TIME.

Gus time of all, Judging from the
history of this nation.
1t may he a coincidence and we
would rather believe so-but the TACT
is that all of our wars. have either
began or had real beginning in the
springtime.
Possibly it is though, that at that
neriod is the time that the American
blood runs hottest through the veins
and the fist clenches more quickly
and strikes more impetuously? IS 1t
in this gentlest season of all, when
nature is so thoroughly at peace and
pregnant with joyfulness that human
teeth are the more quickly barred IN
the snarl of challenge and the gaunt-
let is hurled with the least provoca-
ton?
What pity that the budding trees
and the nesting birds and the glori-
Gus green things of the earth should
have been so often welcomed by. the
lannon's blast and the fresh bios
SONS be ground down and incarna-
dined by the blood of the people that
God put here to enjoy them?
Springtime will mean. nothing to
the shattered nations of Europe
nothing except better opportunity for
the work of slaughter and destruc-
ton. but how sincerely We all must
hope that the president, with the
help of a scrroWing providence, may
prevent a repetition of our own his
tory in that respect, and that the
threat of war will prove nothing
more when the spring is come-and
is gone.-St. Joe Observer.
