GUNTHER COLLECTION

MANY great and good men, pos
IVA sessed of hobby for collecting
curious and other things, have left
heritages of untold monetary value
and far-reaching educational value.
The recent death Of Mr.. Charles II.
Gunther, Chicago phllanthropist,
who possessed consuming passion
for collecting, released to permanent
quarters in that city the greatest
known collection of historical docu-
ments and autographs letters in Am
erica, and enables the looker-on to
visualize the westward shifting of the
frontier from the colonies on the At
lantic to the slope of the Pacific.
A stroll through these wonders re-
veals such relics as-the compass
used by General George Washington
In his soldier days; the first edition
(1507) of the first book in which Am
erica was mentioned; the first news
paper, The Gazette, oxford. England
(1665); the table upon which Gen
eral Grant wrote the terms Of Lees
surrender at Appomattox court house
(1S65); the silk hat and umbrella Of
Abraham Lincoln and the carriage In
which he rode about In the city of
Washington; the document transfer
ring the Territory Of Louisiana from
Spain to France (1s03), and another
covering conveyance from France to
the United States the instruments

I craving, above all, is certainty in
its reckonings for the future.
Even if but one house of Con-
gress should pass the railroad bill
before the recess, it would be as
a tonic assurance regarding what
might be confidently expected.
But if Congress now adjourns for
it's vacation with nothing done,
the old feeling of doubt and of
timidity in making commitments
will reassert itself and have a
harmful effect.
1t is for these reasons that the
eyes of the country are now fixed
upon Congress. Its members
ought to feel that they are under
unusually close observation. Both
House and Senate are now, in a
sense, on trial. People are anx.
iously inquiring whether their
legislative system is going to
prove equal to the just demands
made upon it. The time is short
in which Congress may be able
to win back the confidence of the
country. 1t could easily do so by
showing a firm resolution to get
down to business, and to enact
speedily the measures which it
alone has the power to provide,
in oroer to hasten the recovery of
business and the revival of hope
for which millions of people are
anxiously awaiting. : New York

A GROUP Of mounds, about sew.
"A enty In number, located In south.
western Illinois, net great distance
from st. Louis, comprise what is said
to be the largest remaining work of
the aborigines north Of Old Mexico.
Whence came these Mound Builders,
how long they remained and whittier
they went, history seems not to record.
Scientists have failed to establish the
definite period Of time which their

monuments Of prehistoric man direct

Of whose history we know little or
nothing there Is, of course, no question.

which are falling into decay, are as
infants compared with these ancient

was directed solely at the COM

On this third category Of Of
lenses have been written the
bulk of our statutory restraints,
embracing as it does that wide
range of offenses from automo-
bile traffic law violations to the
pollution Of the public water
supply. 1t necessarily includes
all acts that impair the public
safety, health, and morals. In
the progress of our civilization
governmental concept of the
social danger Of these offenses
has constantly broadened.
Judge Calvert's call for a fuller
public understanding of the need
for as energetic an enforcement
OF our statutes against those who
err against the public good as
those who sin against the indi-
vidual or his property is both
pertinent and needful. He did
not quote it, but he may have
thought of the old quatrain.

CONGRESS ON TRIAL

fuDllc opinion is making
clear distinction between the Ad
ministration and Congress
With the former there are many
signs of marked satisfaction
The President and his able advis
ers are felt to have shown 8
sound understanding of the
country's chief needs and tc
have displayed both courage anC
initiative in calmly accepting
their responsibility. But Con.
gress has been generally consider,
ed far too hesitant and divided.
In the Capitol affairs do not
march as they should, and the
main burden of complaint, as it
comes from various sections of
the nation, is explicitly directed
at Senators and Representatives
rather than at the President and
his Cabinet.
For this prevalent and appar-
emily rising dissatisfaction there
is good reason. 1t is not a case
of supplemented looking to Con-
gress to pass laws which will
make us rich and happy. This
time the issues are definite, and
the things demanded wholly con-
crete. When there is general
agreement in both parties aud
among all groups of the people
as to the definite legislation which
Congress ought to enact, and
when these statutes are delayed
or mutilated, there is warrant for
the assumption that the Senate
and the House have been lag
gard in their duty.
To be precise, two things may
be singled out: One of them is
retrenchment in public expendi-
lures along with lower tax levies,
Business men everywhere have
been forced to economic and are
lot unreasonable in Insisting that
he Government yield to the
same necessity. Lower taxes
md more equitable taxes have
been pledged by both parties, yet
he fruition still seems far away.
The other matter is the need of
lction by Congress to relieve the
ailroads from the embarrass-
nents heaped upon them as con-
equence of their temporary OPP
ration by the Government.
1ere again the question is entire
clear and specific. The claim
t the railroads has been recog-
lied by Congress itself as en-
rely valid. Permission for the
to fund the payments
,hich they owe for betterments
ffected by the Government in
heir property was distinctly
romised in the Esch- Cummins
ill. YET fulfillment is inexplicab-
held up. From both the Presi-
emit and the Chairman of the
Var Finance Corporation con-
incing statements have come
that this form of tenn
orary assistance for the roads
ill mean not only an instant i'm
rovement in their affairs, but
great quickening to industry
