YESTERDAY'S CIRCULATION', -3,042.', The capitol building will not be remodeled. The democratic party decides that it is hot necessary be cause the democratic platform did not declare for it. The Raleigh board of aldermen de serves the commendation of every progressive citizen for its recent ac tion on the light proposition. It was largely through the instrumentality being inadequately borne by private of Mr. Horace Dowell, chairman of,citizens. and perform it to the good the light committee, that the measure was adopted. Raleigh is now to be one of the best lighted cities in the state. On Fayetteville street, between Morgan and Davie streets, the Standard Gas and Electric Company is to erect and duty to give each citizen an opportun niaintaiu twelve gas and arc lights, ity to use that power wisely for him- l'hese lights will be attached to fan- , . x 'I cv. eoose neck iron posts, inree lights of the same kind are to be placed in other parts of the city de signated by the board of aldermen. The total cost to the city will be only $700 per annum. Mr. Dowell wasright when he said that business men looking for places to locate Judge towns to a great ex tent by the way they are lighted. If a town is well lighted, it shows that the people have some public spirit. Business men want to locate where there is public spirit. A STATE LIBRARY COMMISSION'. The bill before the legislature for the creation of a library commission will probably come up for discussion sometime this week. The proposed commission is to be composed of the superintendent of public instruction, the state librarian and three others, two to be appointed by the North Carolina Library Association and one appointed by the governor. 1 The most important section of the bill is the following: - "The commission shall have assist ance, advice, and counsel to all libra ries in the state, to all communities which may propose to establish libra ries, and to all persons interested, as to the best means of establishing and administering such libraries, as to the selection of books, cataloguing, maintenance, and other details of li brary management as may be practi cable. The commission may aid in organizing new libraries, or in im proving those already organized, and may establish and maintain traveling or other libraries as may be practi cable. The commission shall employ a secretary not a member of the com mission, who shall be a person train ed in modern library methods, and who shall receive such compensation as the commission may decide, and who shall perform the usual duties of a secretary and such other duties as may be designed by the commis sion, and who shall serve at the will of the commission." , The purposes of the commission as outlined in this section of the bill seem to be good. The libraries are doing a good work in the state al ready. New libraries are being form ed and the work they are doing is spreading all over the state and can not but have a most beneficial, in fluence. Any commission which has for Its ' purpose the promotion the library' work already begun, to in crease its extent and widen its scope of Influence, as a good one and this seems to be the object this bill would promote if enacted Into law. As to what a library commission can do for North Carolina, the ISorth Carolina Library Association has the following condensed tatement that It 18 sending out In pamphlet form: ' "What a Library Commission ls. . "It is a commlssloA, created by legislative enactment, to Improve li brary service in the state by techni cal advice and trained assistance. Its relation to the library system of the state ls similar to that of the of fice of the superintendent of public Instruction to, the school system. , "What It Can Do. "Work for the extension of public . good by the establishment of libraries In localities able and willing to sup-' port the same. ."Visit libraries "for the purpose of. giving advice and Instruction in bet, ter methods of serving the public. J "Aid in organizing new libraries, "Give advice and assistance in planning imrary Duuiaiigs. ana coi- led information on this subject for the use of the public. 'Collect and publish statistics of libraries in the state for information and guidance of library trustees, and to set forth correctly, library condi tions in North Carolina in the United States Census reports. "Take up a public duty that is now of all the citizenship of the state "Is It Needed? "From all sections of the state, the answer is, YES. i "The Need of a Library Commission. I "It is the duly of the state to give ; each future citizen an opportunity to I learn to read, it is equally the state's 'f and the state. "Wholesome literati ure can be tar nished through the medium of public libraries, to all the readers in a com munity at a fraction of the cost neces sary to teach them to read, and the power to read, with the ability to se cure reading, may easily become the means of developing a valuable ser vant to the state. While the same power, without the ability to secure reading becomes a negative 'nothing.' "A library is an essential part of the broad system of education, al ready started in bur state. The books a child reads for pleasure do more to determine its ideals than the text-books of the school. Ideals shape character, character makes the valu able citizens. If a good library is near at hand, children will secure and read wholesome books. "North Carolina needs more libra ries. A commission will increase the number and stimulate to increased good the present libraries. The work now being done in a small way by private parties can be done bet ter, done for all sections of the state, done with more system, done with more honor to the state, by a com mission, planned and organized, as the proposed bill now before the leg islature calls for. "This bill is the result of three years' study by the librarians of the state, assisted by citizens having the welfare of 'the Old North State' close to their hearts. "Your aid Is solicited in securing the enactment of the bill to establish a library commission." The man who has sometimes to trav el at night can call to mind how often every one In the car has been awak ened by the loud calling of stations; so loud that even the heavy sleeper can not hold on to hi nap. One night not long ago, on board a Seaboard Air Line train, the writer found a new or der of things, Instead of the yelling through the cars on the approach of a station,: the conductor came through and awakened each passenger as he was wont to get off, letting the others get the sounder to sleep as the train came to a stop. While new It was ac ceptable in n high degree. With tags on passenges, as most conductors use, is there any reason why such consider ation should not be shown on all dead of the night trains?

Horn lines contain food for thought, do they um ; Speaker Graham has found the men, the writer said were in the house, at ,the patient strength by building up the the beginning of the session, namely: , constitution and . assisting nature in the men who would conduct the reli- ! doing Its work.

There are others there that can do the same thing If called uii)n. The committee from the denf and dumb school at Morganton report that there must be, some enlargement there, if the children required to attend are taken care of; and that is in full keep ing Willi the reports from nil the other stiite institutions. It is hardly possi ble that all will get nil they are asking for, but it seems to a newcomer that the appropriations committ.-e has the hardest task before it ever before un dertaken. It is a case to be looked at from both the present and the future of the state. The schools seem to need as much as the charitable institutions, but the former can do without, per haps ,-. -better than the Utile unfortu nates. Senator H. N, Phjirr, of Mecklenburg, had the pleasure for some days last week of having his twelve year old son as his guest; and it was noticeable how attached they were to each other, and the being away from home is no doubt a great cross to the boy as well as to the iiHlulge.net father. He is a clean and well behaved boy, and made friends: not only among ihe small boys he met. but with the colleagues of his father in the legislature. He went home Saturday in the rare of Representative Dowil, of the same county. An AIiend-of-Dnte War Story. Hanzal; by Parabellum. Cloth, 12mo, illustrated. -'$1.30. The Bilker & Tay lor Co., New York. , This rapid piece of fiction and mili tary criticism is a "made in Germany" product intended for home consump tion, and as the advertisements tell us, remarkably.- successful in Germany. The American introduction has a pleas ant fiction to the effect that the writer is a ptitriotic American bent on ward ing off war by presenting Vividly the danger of a war between Japan and the t'irteil States: As a matter of fact, however, the anonymous author must be a Geruian, and he Is presumably a military critic of some ability. The Teutonism of the book Is obvious and pervasive. Germans, bob up at every turn, and the German point of view Is evident in every chapter. "Banzai" represents a war in the year-won between Japan and the Unit ed States, suddenly and treacherously begun by the Japanese, who cut the Pacific cables, seize our Pacific ports as well as the Philippines, attack our war vessels without warning, seize the railway lines in the west, and even appear suddenly on the Atlantic coast. The seizure of the west is accomplish ed largely by the help of numerous Japanese settlers in the Pacific states. Some of these events are highly won derful, but others are quite rationnlly explained. Finally the people of Can ada and Australia are aroused by the almost unbroken success of the Japan ese and come to the help of the Amer icans, and come to their aid too late to prevent enormous losses, but in time to prevent a complete conquest of the west and a concession of western territory for Japanese settlement. Technically considered. Banzai is not at all a work of art. There are too many characters, too many places, too many events. The book has a sort of unity, but merely the unity of related events. Vital connection and natural. inevitable sequence are more than the writer has attained. Banzai Is rather a succession of vivid sketches than a vital, organic work. It has, nevertheless, some Important merits. It is vivid, rapid, and always interesting. It also reminds us that there Is an undeniable yellow per.ll, In Hawaii for example, and In our Pacific stntes. The overwhelming number of Japanese In Hawaii, the agitation In Nevada and California, the Immigra tion of Japanese settlers and laborers into South America, where the Mon roe doctrine might as well be applied to Asiatics as to Europeans, ail these things make it clear that we have the Japanese to reckon with, nnd that we ought to be as tactful, as alert, as firm as they. The Americans and the elder statesmen In Japan seem to be Intelligently settling difficulties as they arise between their nations, but there Is always the danger of strained rela tions. Japanese clannlshness, the ex treme and romantic character of Jap anese patriotism, the . alertness and cockiness of the little nation which defeated Russia. These require a high order of diplomacy In our dealings with j them. . '. ,' ',"; The problems of American relations ; with Japan are numerous and complex, ' being: complicated by considerations of economics, national pride, state rlrhtB (as in the present situation in the wet and by the complex questions of As'at- 1 Ic politics, treaty rights, Pan-American politics, and Imperialism. The Jingoes are not all fools, and if they have something to say let U hear them first and judge them afterwards. If one will read Bansal with some knowledge of recent events, one will certainly be set to thinking. Americans are as a rule, too hopeful to be prudent, and it Is well 'sometimes to hear criticism whether It be favorable or not. The military criticism which - makes no small part of "Banzai," " is possibly faulty, but in any case it can do no harm. American military critics will know more about that than a mere re viewer, ' ': H- . .. , GEORGE SUMMET, JR. $100, Reward, $100.
