Harding and his advisors are working on a scheme of an association of nations for co-operation by the world in lessening the chan ces for war.

P. SENATE ‘GROUP’ (By Associated Press.) ORRVILLE, O., Aug. 21.—Another spirited attack on the ‘senate oligar- chy"’ was made today by Governor James M. Cox in an address replying to that delivered recently by Senator Warren G. Harding, in which Harding commended the senate as a forum of popular government. “It is our contention,” declared Cox, “that a group of men have formed a domineering, arrogant oligarchy in the senate, and that they have deliberately interferred with the welfare of the world and delayed readjustment in this country all to the distinct injury and disadvantage of the people.” That the Republican senate group was trying “to annex the presidency” also was asserted by Cox, who stopped here enroute to Canton, where he specks tonight. “Feeling against the senate,” he de- clared, “grows specifically out of abuses by the oligarchy. Prompted by its suc- cesses in @bstructive tactics it has moved into an entirely new undertak- ing and it seeks now to annex the présidency.”” Cox also charged that ‘‘greedy inter- ests which are making contritutiony have been in notorious consort with the senatorial oligarchy” and again stressed the necessity for the l.cague of Nations. iH CE’ SOCIALISTS OF U.S.OKEH THIRD INTERNATIONALE (By Associated Press.)

( FOR LIBRARY 1s AOVOGATED HERE Would Provide Longer Hours and Increase Service to Public, Say Critics of Present Ar- rangement Over and over in the last two or three months the question has been raised as to why the Natrona County Ubrary, niinistering to a city the size of Casper, is kept Bpen but five hours a day when the library in a town as small as Douglas is open from 8 a, m. to 10 p. m. continuously. With the approach of the winter se son, when more reading is done than (in summer, it has been pointed out that the Casper library should rightly | be open from 9 a. m. until 9 p. m.‘at | least, during both noon and supper | hours, and that it should be open as well for some hours on Sunday if it is | really to minister to the needs of the community. Inquiry develops that under the law | the support of a library of not less than one-eighth of a mill or more than one-half a mill, With a valuation of $55,000.000 in Natrona county, the in- come for the local library would be anywhere from $6,875 to $27,500 an am- ple amount to provide full time salarivs | for a librarian and several assistants. | The levy for the library last yeer | was .15 of @ mill but only about $5,000 | With the present coun-y a levy of .15 of a miil| would provide an income of $8,240 for | the library which would be sufficient | to keep it open for longer hours. Under the management of Mrs. Et fie G. Rogers, the books of the library | are now completely catalogued under | the card catalogue plan, and the clas- sified. books have also been’ cross in- | dexed as to subject as well as to name and author, Additions are constantly being made to this portion of the library altho the fiction section stil] overbalances other sections. Mrs. Rogers is glad to, add | books on particular lines for which re quests are made although book deliv- eries are slow. The Business and Professional Women’s club of he Y. W. C. A., the Woman's club, and the Board of the Y. W. C, A. are among the organiza tions which have discussed the mat- ter of longer hours for the library and which will probably take up the matter with the library board.
