The Library and Patronage.

Herbert Putnam, librarian OF Con-
gress, consenting to answer speclnc
questions with regard to threatened
patronage raid on the institution over
which he presides, has dissipated many
of the myths which hitherto have OBJ
secured the facts in the case.
In the first place. he has shown that
the employees Of the Library are not
generally provided with political back
ing. The IT'S men and women on his
staff have been appointed without re-
gard to their party affiliations. The
law says that they must be selected
solely with respect to their fitness for
the work, and character and efficiency
have been their major qualifications.
True, many individuals seeking po-
sitions in the Library have brought let
ters Of introduction from Senators and
members Of the House Of Representa-
tives.. But the number so sponsored has
been about equally divided between
Democrats and Republicans. A few.
indeed, have secured the Endorsement OF
Congressmen of both parties. The point
is that the records show that political
interference with the Library personnel
has been inconsequential.
1t is likewise interesting that the
geographical apportionment figures in
dicate that the whole Nation is repre-
sented in the staff Some States have
more than their quota, some have less.
But the causes of these differences are
cultural and economic rather than
political.
Altogether Mr.. Putnam's data support
the view that were the Library now to
be subjected to the patronage system the
event would mark a new departure IN
the attitude of Congress toward the
institution. 1t never has been polti-
cal convenience, and he does not anti
cipate that it ever will be.
On the contrary, the pride which
Congress takes in the work and the de-
sire which Congress feels that it may
continue to be efficiently conducted
insures the Library, he believes, against
attack by spoilsmen. Presumably, his
attitude is widely shared. There must
be many scholars throughout the coun-
try who, having used the Library and
known by personal experience its high
standards of service, would resent any
assault upon the institutions traditional
freedom from political handicaps, and
they would make their resentment
heard. The Library belongs to Congress.
but it also belongs to the people. If
the National Legislature were to fail to
protect 1t, the people would assume the
responsibility.
Recent discussion of the patronage
possibilities of the Library undeniably
has stirred the apprehensions of Sen
ators and Representatives as well as
those Of the public. But Mr.. Putnam
puts these fears to rest. With thirty
four years Of experience to sustain his
faith, he doubtless is abundantly justi-
fed In believing that Congress will not
be stampeded into any action which
might hurt the Library or bring dis
tress to its staff and friends.

Fireworks Spectators
Barred From Capitol

To the Editor Of The Star:
It has been the custom of many citi-
zens and visitors to observe the display
of fireworks from the west front of the
Capitol. Tuesday night policeman
passed around among the people and
asked them to retire. There was no
disturbance or confusion, all was quiet
and orderly, and the conditions offered
no excuse for the command. There
were no 'marchers" there and no signs
of disorder from any direction that
noticed or heard Of. There were no
seats for sale, that Is true. No one could
see the ground display because of trees
and distance, but on such occasions and
pleasant evenings a quiet, orderly crowd
assemblies there. What was the occasion

feel touch of sorrow
As July goes on its way,
And we doubt If each tomorrow
Is much better than today.
AS we listen to the speeches
We present our best applause
But the calendar still teaches
It's six months till Santa Claus.
There are hopes and there are pleasure.
Which we may perhaps perceive,
But the transitory treasures
Will too often bid US grieve.
While I'm not in spirits dreary,
am Ill at ease, because
Of this time of waiting weary

A RAZON, La PaZ-Throughout
the history Of the German colony
in Bolivia, these immigrants have


in Bolivia, these immigrants have
IL proved themselves worthy auxil-
iaries of our national progress.
Combining generosity and nobility OF
character with exceptional energy ana
intelligence, they have taken an 1mpor-
tant part in every worthy development
within the republic, and have never
hesitated to make their own interests
subordinate to those OF the general pub
lie. We wish we could make the same
appraisal of other foreign elements that
have come to dwell among us. In iar
too many of these other instances, the
immigrant throng has arrived within
our jurisdiction for the sole purpose OF
promoting its own fortunes and has
cared little how these selfish ambitions
were attained.
When the campaign began in El
Chaco, it was at once observed tnat
while other foreign strains were willing
to enjoy our hospitality, ana profit by
the ample freedom and opportunity
afforded in their new environment, they
were not so eager to engage In efforts
to support our arms and vindicate our
honor.
How different and how superior IN
this contingency were the emotions Of
the Germans! Not only did they enlist
in our battalions, and serve valiantly
and voluntarily at the front, but the
names of many Of their dead and
wounded are conspicuous on the bright
scrolls of Mars. German society In tins
capital, particularly, has demonstrated
in addition to these heroic activities an
altruistic solicitude for our cause, and
made many a gesture OF true humanity
and patriotism.
The latest display Of such fraternity
is the announcement Just made by the
Club Aleman that on the 9Th of the
proximate month they will arrange a
grand reunion Of the loyal public In
the rooms of their organization, at
which a program of theatrical and mu-
sical entertainment will be rendered. IN
conjunction with buffet luncheon and
charge will be asked for admittance.
but the entire proceeds Of the function
will be remitted to the Cruz Roja
Boliviana," whose funds, as we all
know, are much depleted by the needs
of our severe and protracted cam
paigns.
The Bolivian Red Cross is gratefully
appreciative of this sympathetic mani
festation on the part of the German
Club of this city, and desires to extend
publicly, through the columns OF La
Razon, their sincere acknowledgements
and thanks to the kindly ladies and
gentlemen who compose that local or
ganization. This function, both in its
conception and in its assured results,
represents a most thoughtful and gen
erous initiative, and evinces the high
est aspects of benevolence and pa
triotism. Our German fellow-citizens
have ever shown themselves worthy
counterparts of those other members
of their race who settled here soon
after the German revolution OF 1848:
Their prototypes sought and found
here refuge from political ana re-
generation have shown q constant de-
sire to reciprocate that kind reception
by manifold deeds of duty and de-
votion.

The Wuchow Electric Light Co. has

inconvenience by the periodic stealing
of electric light wires in less frequented

with long bamboo poles, to which sharp q sl2
grass knives were attached, waited
until after the midnight hour. when
most people were asleep and lights were
burning at q minimum, and then crept
stealthily around, severing the wires at
various places and making away WIN
thousands of feet. Next morning Ger
tain sections Of the city were hghtless

Because labor leaders in the NRA

Johnson was out to curb it rather
than to help it. That stirred up ad-

after the attorney filed civil suit
for recovery of his gold which he
had stored in the vaults of the
Chase National Bank and which
the bank impounded.
Campbell applied for a temper
airy injunction restraining the bank
from turning his gold over to the
federal reserve bank. The injunc-
ton was denied.
The indictment made Campbell

BANDITS TAKE
MAIL POUCHES

BOSTON. Sept. IS. tU.P)-Three
bandits seized three mail pouches
containing from $4,000 to 100000
from the postal station at South
Station. terminal of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
early today. They escaped in a car
driven by a fourth man.
One of the pouches, so-called
coin pouch, was said to have con-
tanned $4,000 being sent from the
First National bank of Boston to
small banks in the Cape Cod area
The two other pouches were said
to have held payrolls being sent from
Boston banks to firms in Newport,
R. /, and Taunton.
John Higgins of Dedham was
said to have been the only clerk on
duty at the postal station when the
bandits entered.
The trio entered the baggage
room at South Station and from
that stole into the adjoining postal
station.
Before Higgins was aware OF their
presence each had seized a pouch
They ran to the loading platform
bordering on Atlantic avenue,
jumped seven feet from the plat
form to the street. and got into
the parked automobile. The driver
of the car sounded the horn as they
emerged from the station to sig
nal his exact position.
