THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘TUESDAY. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. order to avons delays, on ac- count of perso: sence, letters to THE STAR should mot be’ addrensed to an individun! connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorin! or Wusiness Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = he lieSabrary a Proper Munici- batt lee ‘Ph! provosed Washington public library Js a partiof the city’s educational system, } proper tobjed&: of municipal expenditure, bn the same basis as the public schools. As Commissioner Harris of the Bureau vf Education has aptly stated: “The schocl teaches how! 10 read—how to use the printed page to get out of it all that it rontaing. The Mbrary ‘furnishes what to read; tt opens the storehouse of all hu- man knowledge. These two are comple- mentary functions in the great/work of duce tion.” Herbert Putnam, librarian of tHe Boston public brary, in a magazing artjcle says: “Add then the direct educational value to the citizens who use it of a dibrary which they feel to be their own,*to*maintain, as well as enjoy, and there would seem to be trong reasons for saying that no endowed library can do the fullest work to the com- Munity without having associated with it Municipal funds and in some firm muni- eipal control.” ‘That municipal maintenance on the same basis as for the public schools is essential to the true modern library idea has been Tecognized not only theoretically by the writers, but practically by the philanthro- field, most of whom have ed over donated libraries to municipal control, and conditioned their gifts on mu- Ricipal maintenance. Mr. Putnam says in the article above quéted: “There was pro- found foresight in the course taken by Mr. Pratt. Instead of placing his endowment in the hands of a private corporation, he sned over the million dollars d‘rect to the pakty, merely stipulating that the ould appropriate annually an city a@meunt ecaual to the income of that sum Yor the matntenarce of a free library. The private endowment, therefore, became ™merged in the public undertaking, and ex- cept for the name which perpetuates the memory of the gift the institution would appear simply as a iunicipal enterprise on the part of the city ef Baltimore.” same principle has governed Mr. Car- ie in his numerous gifts of libraries, as Edinburgh, Ayr and Dumfermline, in otiand; Johnstown, Pa.; Fairfield, lowa, and more recently, Allegheny City and Pittsburg. Mr. Cunegie is quoted in the October, 186 Review of Reviews as say- Ing: “The result of my cwn study of the question ‘Wkat is the best gift which can be given to a community? is that a free Jibrary occup‘es the first place, provided the community will accept and maintain it as 4 public imsiftution, as much a part of the city property as its public schools, aad, i |. an adjunct to these.” + 22 ___ Sewers and Street Extensio: The highway act ought to be amended 8c as to rid it of cnstitutional objections and of other defects which have been crit- ised in it, and so as to provide a fair satisfactory system and method of Street extension. But it would gecm that this radical amendment of the act should logically and naturaliy precede rather than accompany an appropriation through the medium of a bond issue for carrying the act, amended or unamended, into effect. It would appear to be easier to secure the desired amendment of the highway act, and thus save the latter, if the amending Proposition were presented independently and on its own merits, unembarrassed by the accompanying proposition of large ap- Propriations through bond issues both for street extension and for sewers. And it would also seem to be easier to test the sense of Congress concerning the question + of bond issues for municipal improvements by now pushing the sewer bond bill, unem- barrassed py amendatory and appropriative legislation concerning the highway act, which, until amended, is under strong sus- Picion, if not final conviction, of unconsti- tutionality. Apparently it would be better for both projects to proceed independently until the highway act has been satisfactorily amended. Then if the sewer bond bill has not become Iaw the two propositions may merge. If a bond issue has by that time been authorized for sewers, a precedent will have been established for another bond is- sue to carry out a fair and reasonably sat- isfactory system of street extensions. ————_+ e+ ‘Trespassing on Public Property. Some of these days conspicuous trespass- ers upon public froperty in the District of Columbia may learn that they cannot have their own way all the time; the small fry found it out long ago. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has for years occupied a small government reservation and laid tracks thereon. Col. John M. Wilson—who has charge of public buildings and xrounds —has nov resurrected an old law which gives to the Secretary of the Interior pow- ers that were generally believed to be vested wholly in Congress. The case was Placed before Secretary Smith, who, after investigation, has ordered the Baltimore and Ohio Company to vacate the feserva- tion. The public generally will be delighted to know that a sufficient anti-trespass law exists, and that officials can be found to enforce it. ——_+e+___ Thomas Carlyle demanded more than alt a century ago: “Why is there not a ™majesty’s library in every county town? There is a majesty’s jail and gallows in every one.” The American majesty is the pecple, and Carlyle’s reproachful question mcdernized and localized demands: “Why is there rot a people’s library in Wash- ington? We have our people's jail and allows.” ——_+ e+} __ Spain's advice that the American polit!- cians cease their vexatious debates will, to a certain extent, be indorsed im this coun- try. to —_—_+« +___ Mr. McKinley is now regarded by one or two aspirants for booms as a pernicious monopolist. ——____ + e+ —_ Only one handred and ten men were em- .

Ever since the license system commenced to be there have always been radical differences of opinion as to how much or how Lttle of control the general, state, and municipal governments should have over the Hauor traffic within their respective jurisdictions. All manner of experiments have been tried but none of them has ever been entirely satisfactory to either the liquor-dealing or temperance elements; friction has been a continuing feature: The Raines bill {s a move in the direc- tion of high license, and it promises’ to give the authorities more power of controi than they have heretofore had In New York. Lceal excise boards have hitherto issued licenses and fixed the prices thereof, but wnder the néw law the state has aientate }last night. control of the tssue, while the taxes are on a scale suppcse to be commensurate with the size of the towns in which the saloons are located. The law provides’ for local option as to the issue of licenses in towns, and has sev- eral cther features over which there will Probably be mtch discussion. Saloons may not be luceted within 200 feet of a resi- dence, unless with the consent of two- thirds of the property-owners within that radius; there must be a guarauteo that there will be no gambling on the premises, and the sale of liquor to be drunk on the premises is forbidden when the license is issued to persons who have grocery, pro- vision, drug or dry goods stores. Liquor may not legally be sold on Sunday or between the hours of 1 and 5 in the morning or on any holiday; women are for- bidden to serve liquor unless they are mem- bers of the liquor-seller’s family; screens and blinds must be removed when the sa- loons are closed and side doors must he shut tight. It 1s posstble that the courts will be appealed to by those who now in- sist chat the law ts unconstitutional. Gov- ernor Morton says that the law is an ex- periment worth trying. The operations of the statute will be watched closely by a great many people who, on one side of the question or the other, are deeply concerned in the liquor traffic. —___~ + s___ It is a mistake to supposes that books can now be taken by the general public from the Congressional Library on deposit of the value.

The agent for a handsomely illustrated book to Le sold or long-time credit—a feast to the inteliect and an adornment to any library—leaned against the side of the house, caught his breath, clenched his fist and locked skyward. “What's the matter?” asked the police- mi Ve met the meanest man,” he answer- “I've heard of him and I've read about him in the papcrs, but I never expected to meet him face to face.” “Where is he?” “Up in that office building.” “How do you know he’s the meanest man?” “By the way he acted. I showed him this work of art, lectured on it for half an hovr, showed the engravings, and when I hinted that it would be a good thing to order, what do you think he said?” “I don’t know.” “He said he never bought books. He didn’t have to. He just waited for some fool agent to come along and tell him all that was in 'em, and turn over the leaves while he looked at the pictures.” Might Be One of Several. The little group in the corner store had been discussing national and international topics with its usual vigor. Lem Perkins, who is something of an oracle, came in just in time to hear one of the solons exclaim earnestly: “It’s z question o” freedom; that’s what it is. An’ freed«m’s what has been fought fer an’ dled for ard died for. I tell ye, freedom’s got to come—ain’t it, Lem?’ he added, suddenly appealing to the late- ecmer. “Yea,” was the reply. “I don’t know but it is. Only I’m not clear yet on which ye'te talkin’ about, Ireland, Cuba, the new woman, or lunch.” Political Pruden you think,” said the candidate's hat you have taken a sufficiently strong stand on the financial question?” “I should say so.

Henry Watterson is doing one of the grundest acts of his life in throwing on the history of Abraham Lincoln the cal- cium light of truth,.uncolored by the prejudice of passion or the bias of hero worship. The people of the United States owe him a debt of gratitude for the lec- ture that he is delivering and for drawing aside the curtain of sectionalism and re- vealing the heart of Abraham Lincoln as it beat for the south es well as for the north, for a united country. The southern people have viewed the man through the smoke of battle and burning homes. They have chegjshed against his memory that which, if living, he might have averted— the horrors of reconstruction—but which the death-dealing bullet of a misguided man only served to intensify. Those who heard the eloquent Kentuckian, the soutn- erner, the confederate, and yet the friend of Lincoln because he knew him personally, cannot but be glad that they were present it is a matter of pride for the enlightenment and culture of Augusta that there was a reprerentative audience in attendance and they were not afraid to applaud the sentiments of the orator eulogizing the dead statesman. No lan- guage but his own can convey to the reader an idea of the subject that would do jus- tice to the. eloquence and thought of Mr. Watterson; and then it should be heard and not read, for his words are not mere —- words. The lecture is such a life f Lincoln as has never before sub- mitted to the public.
