The work- ‘ingmen of the city have always shown an ; intelligent appreciation of the benefits of a ' treo Ubrary and of the needs of Washington im this particular. Years ago some of the | workingmen, among whom Mr. E. W. Oyster , Was conspicuous, made a vigorous effort to establish such a library exclusively on the | Private subscription basis, When, later, The Star proposed a municipally-sustained library the local labor organizations by reso- lution heartily indorsed the proposition. The same wise interest in the public library idea was recently displayed in the estab- Ushment of reading rooms supplied with books and magazines in connection with the labor bureau created by the local working- men. They now carry out consistently their well-established policy on this subject b; indorsing the broad project of a munic!- pally-sustained Hbrary, supplied with books largely by private subscriptions, the true pubie Mbrary in the modern sense of the term, in creating and sustaining which the private citizen, the municipality and the nation unite. Next to thirty-three thousand children tn the District over twelve years of age, who need a modern public circulating Mbrary, with reading rooms open in the evening, as an adjunct to the public schools, there is no portion of the District's population from whom comes a more powerful appeal for a free library than from the local working- men, who are cut off from the wealth of books In Washington’s government libraries by the early hours of closing and by the absence in them of the circulating feature. The census of 18 disclosed that over twenty-three thousand adults were then engaged in the District in lines of work which are classed as manufactures. To the census figures must be added the thou- sands of workingmen engaged in forms of labor not classed as manufactures, and then this number must be multiplied, since many are the heads of families, to ascer- tain the number of readers, and in behalf of this great multitude of people a free lending library and night reading room are now demanded. The reading rooms and collections of books easily accessible to the workingmen in their hours of leisure cannot be too many in number or too extensive In size or too broad in scope. ‘The Federation last night recognized that the modern public library ts the people's university, the sup- plement of the public schools, an integral part of the municipality's educational sys- tem, and inasmuch eas the local working- men heve always labored to broaden and perfect the public schools systém, as in the introduction of free text books and in other Ways, they are now enlisted earnestly and enthusiastically in the campaign for a pub- Ue library as an essential part of ihe cap- ital’s ecucational system. As Commissioner W. T. Harris of the Bureau of Education has aptly etated: “The school teaches how to read—how to use the printed page to get out of it all that {t contains. The library furnishes what to read; it opens the storehouse of all human learning. These two are comple- Mentary functions in the great work of @ducation.” ——_+ e+ ___ Another Knot in the Lion's Tail. The British ambassador to this country made a grievous blunder when he stirred up Senator Morgan by a direct personal attack in the Bering sea fisheries dispute. There {3 no other man in public life today whose acquaintance with the entire Bering sea controversy is n-ore complete and re- lable than that of the able and combative Alabamian. When he declares that the British ambassador bad been guilty of “a Piece of presumptuous arrogance’ in arraigning him for his statements on the floor of the Senate it indicates that Mr. Morgan has been wrought to a pitch of un- usual indignation. This episode gives prom- ise of a reopening of the Bering sea ques- tion soon after the Congress has assembled in a manner that the British government @id not perhaps intend and will not wel- come. Mr. Morgan has great Influence in the Senate, and as the present chairman of the committee on foreign relations he occupies a far too Important position to permit Sir Julian Pauncefote’s attack upon him to be considered a wise move. Mr. Morgan may not remain at the head of this important committee, but his probable guccessor, Mr. Frye, does not yleld in the least to the Alabama statesman in vigor- ous, patriotic Americanism, and would probably sustain Mr. Morgan’s position. ———_ ee The new plan of turning some of the space now occupied by the House of Rep- resentatives into committee rooms might meet with approval as affording better ac- commodations and less space to cover for those who may be engaged in dodging one of Mr» Reed's quorums. — _ - + 0s ____ The numbers ‘1-11-44 have come out in the New York policy shops. It looks like giving money away to let such a thing hap- pen, but ag an advertisement of the game it ig worth every cent it cost. ———~ + __ The contest for recognition in the next ‘House promises the usual pathetic discrep- ‘ ancy between the number of appointed and the number of disappointed. —— _ - + «s+ —___ “General” Coxey claims that in their ef- forts to bring him into popular disfavor, people lied about him. Such a proceeding Was a malicious superfluity. —_+ «+ ____ It behooves the statesmen who are now | beset by applicants for positions to remem- ber that most of them have been offlce- seekers themselves. +. __ Virginia's Convicted Gamblers. ‘A natural disappointment ts felt over the {Ught sentences imposed on the gamblers “who have just pleaded guilty to a violation f the laws of Virginia. Unquestionably ithe offense of which the Heaths and their idfsoclates were confeasedly guilty deserved the severest punishment that the law al- I¢ws, and there may be some apprehension {that the ease with which these offenders ‘hove esceped from the extreme sentenze “may encourage their would-be successo-s ‘6 enter the field that the prisoners have pe unwillingly vacated. But there 1s ound for ths bellef that Governor O'Fer- ‘ran will not Permit the resumption of gam- ‘bling on the soil of the state. In the pres- vent cases he has succecded effectively in , Breaking up the most notorious and flour- lishing establishment on the river bank. @ light sontences were imposed, it is [hse because of @ promise on the part of tho gamblers to leave the state immediately Jatter their release, never to return. This a ; promise, if kept, will rid the state of a crowd of bad tenants and the District of some exceedingly unwelcome neighbors, but it must be enforced by the aid of the state, the constant vigilence of whose of- ficers will be necessary to keep these men to their word. Meanwhile the house occu- ped so long by the Heaths for their ille- gitimete brsiness without molestation by the authorities has been demolished and their gambling tools and all their valuable paraphernalia have been destroyed. Thus they have been shorn of most of their pewer to resume operations, and probably the unfortunate effect of the light sen- tences in their cases upon the members of tho frateraity noWat large will be counter- balanced by a consideration of the com- plete annihilation suffered by this branch of the gambling business and the exile of the gamblers from the state. For what has been accomplished Washington gives thanks. This community has full faith that Gov. O’Ferrall will keep up the fight and hepes that through the honest and hearty co-operation of the county officials his campaign will be wholly and finally ef- fective. —___ + +2 —___- The Suspicious Powers. The Turkish situation is continually as- suming new phases. The suspicion that Russia has been fomenting the Armenian disturbances for purposes of her own is now offset by a declaration that Russia herself believes that England is at the bottom of certain developments in the com- plex affair. The British, it is said, are known to have a preponderating influence in southern Arabia which ts just now the scene of the rebellion of a large number of the sultan’s subjects, and Russia appears to be busily engaged in spreading the belicf that this demonstration is a part of vhe London program to annoy the sultan and precipitate his downfall. With two great powers regarding each other with jealous suspicion the chances for harmonious tn- ternational jon to reform Turkey are much reduced. And the worst of it all is that the sultan himself appears to be wholly without means to restore confidence among the powers in his administration of Otto- man affairs, even if he sincerely desires to reform, which fs doubted with the best of reason. He Is surrounded by a corrupt, In- efficient set of men as ministers and ad- visers, and he ts mainly engaged In pre- serving his life, which is threatened at all hours by conspirators within his own paj- ace. The apparently contradictory actions that result in the disgrace of an official to- day and his re-establishment in favor on the morrow are the result of this unsettled, disjointed state of affairs with the reins of government pulled a dozen different direc- tions at once by as many plotting scoune- rels who apparently do not see the sword of international d!spleasure that hangs over thelr heads, or else have confidence in the restraining effect of the jealousy that exists among the powers. ——_+++___ Short Walks for Congressmen. While the new members of Congress are waiting for next Monday to have some- thing definite to do as legislators they might stroll around Washington and look at some of those phases of the capital that will surely come before them later th the session for remedy. They may not realize now the full meaning of the fact that they are memters of the city’s common council and the sooner that they familiarize them- selves with the needs of the community the easier will be their later tasks and the more Intelligent will be their performance. Suppose, for instance, some of them should g0 tomorrow morning to the southern or eastern section of the city and watch for a few minutes the rishing of trains through the streets at grade. They might possibly begin then to understand what the citizens mean by their continued appeals for a law that would absolutely close the life of the: perilous crossings. Perhaps they could f1to the spirit of protest tl has ani- mated the people of the District all these years and be glad and even eager to vote without delay for the bill that will be in- troduced fixing a date after which grade- crossings will be illegal. Maybe they would tell some of their friends about what they saw and so Interest them as well. It is certain that no intelligent man could wit- ness the dangerous occupation of the streets by the railroads without ageing that prompt legislation is necessary. eee After it gets through with the war that is expected in Its own midst, Congress will doubtless take under consideration the war in Cuba. —__++ + ____ There are several statesmen whose re- tirement Is in prospect who will go_on rec- ord as financial successes an@ artistic fail- ures. —_—_ + ee --—___ The Sultan divides his time about equally between promising never to do it again and doing it right over. ee In his presidential prestidigitation you will observe that Mr. Reed wears no mus- tache to deceive you. 2 -—— There were only ninety-eight meu at work teduy on the city post-office building. see SHOOTING STARS. “Er puffick laéy,” said Uncle Eben, “coan’ keep talkin’ "bout how good tuhkey’s winter tas’ ter her neighbors dat can’t afford nuffin’ but chicken.” AML Kinds, How different are these Congressmen, As in review they pass; For some will rule with tongue and pen, While some blow out the gas.
