One of the big: jobs connected with the removal of state offices into the new capitol is thnt of transferring the 140.000 books in the state library which is in charge of H. C. Lindsay, state librarian. As the original plans were drawn, the only place for the library was a room lf5 feet long v.'iih but a twelve foot ctiling. Whatever books could not be gotten into this space were to go into the tower. Mr. Lindsey made a long and de termined fight against this plan, and was able tc trr.nsfer his vision to the. mind or O.pitol Commissioner Hardy, who helped him get the quarters he is about to occupy.

RELAXING QF RULING AN AID TO ORATORY Washington Sees Merit in Vice Presi dent Dawes' Proposal to Put a Limit on Long Speeches Washington, April 6. Vice Presi dent Dawes' spectacular attack on one-man marathon talking events in the senate, and the more recent eighth hour speech of Senator Copcland of New York against'-the Isle oi Pines treaty, has led capital attaches to dig up noted instances of lengthy senatorial addresses. The unofficial record is held by Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. Speaking on a currency measure, on May 29. 190S. he held the tlccr for eighteen hours and t'.veuty minutes. A fifteen-hour speech is credited to Senator Falkner cf WestVirginia, cr. January 16, 1S81. when ti;e force bill was under discussion, rittistor Allen of Nebraska on October It 12. 1S93, engaged the attcntn of the fenate for fourteen hours o:: fh- le P'.ai of the silver bill; and a sir.i-lar period was consumed by Senator Carter of Montana, on iianh 2-'3. 1901, while discussing a rivers ;iad harbors measure.

The chamber at the other end of the capitol can lay claim to m such pr:l nged oratorical efforts. House mlui preclude any lengthy- address hy tne man, the longest being two or two and a half hours, v. hen (he chairman of a committee, in charge cf u major bill, is explaining its provisions. The elapsed time counted as tbe measure of a senate epech is not always occlupiod entirely with speak ing. Frequently the speaker ir in terrupted questions or quorum call, 'tr?lch give- a-breathrng space. The strict rule is that in order to keep the floor a senator must speak from his desk and remain standing, but various presiding officers have countenanced a liberal interpretation of this and permitted senators to walk about the chamber cr rest on the arms of their chairs. Sfnator Copeland, when he fceM the Haor for e!ght hours, recently drank in the course of his ?peech two glasses cf milk, in which eggs wore be.'iten up, a bowl of soup, and much water. The II. M.
