There are thousands of families in this District who are too poor to buy books and who would ghadly avail themselves of the privileges of a circulating library. “I want to say to the senator from Texas that whatever complaints there may have been about public taxation, I have yet to hear the first individual who has ever complained about the expenditure for that or any other library. If we can spend millions and millions upon battle ships and fortifications and armies, we can 2fford to spend something for the education of the people of this District. The govern- ment pays one-half of the expenses of this District, because the government has more property in the District than any individuals, and it is property that escapes taxation. This is a great federal city. It rever was intended that it should be treat- ed like other cities. It was never intended that the people here should bear the ex- pense of maintaining these great, wide streets and reservations and parks. No city in the country ever expected to be treated as this city has been treated and as this city ought to be treated. “This is the city where the people of the United States are to come to see their gov- ernment in force and in operation. They ecme here at this season of the year and later in droves, you may say. The city of Washington is a national institution and a national interest, and the people of the United States have nowhere that I am aware ever complained of extravagance on the part of Congress with relation to it. I have never heard any paper or any indi- vidual complain that we had spent too much money upon this city. When citizens come here from the north, from the south, from the east and the west alike, they take pride in this city. If they thcuggt we were spending more money :n this city than we ought to spend, we would hear from them. We spend it upon streets and parks and public buildings, and the @mount that we are asked to spend now upon a- circulating library is not worth talking about. The amount is small and inconsiderable and it is no burden. The one half of it will be no burden upon the pecple of the District and the other half will be no burden upon the people of the United States.” A Library for Everyday Use. Mr. Hale favored the maintenance of a free public library here. He said: “The great, stately and beautiful struc- ture that we have built for a Congressional Library and the valuable and expensive beoks that in Lim> wil) fill it will be a creation that everybody will be proud of. I: will be one of the very best collections that the world ever has known or now knows-of. But all its features are rather of the grand and stately order instead of being of everyday use for the people. It is a great, magnificent enterprise that we went into, and have followed up, and has come to its consummation. I do act think a dollar has bzen expended unwisely in it. I think it is one of the things that the citi- zen of this country and the sojourner here, the traveler from afar, ovght to find in Washington, a great, splendid, fully com- pleted and equipped library, and that we should appropriat2 every year for its main- tenance as such. “But it does not reach and was never in- tended to reach the everyday want and de- sire of the laborer, the mechanic, th> clerk, it may be, the tradesman, everybody here in Washington who, as we. know, in these days desires to r2ad. I suppose that out of a population of 300,000 in the Dis- trict, certainly not more than 10 per cent will ever receive actual benefit from that library in the way of a reading of books. As has ben said, no book is taken out by the people. It is not circulating in any form. It stands there for them to visit, to sit in the chairs and at the desks and read. but the fireside is never touched by the great Congressional Library. There is no otrer city, I venture to say, in America of its size that has not from one to a dozen circulating libraries that flow with their beneficient influences to every fireside. We bave nothing of the kind here.” Mr. Bacon—‘Will the senator from Maine permit a suggestion? I wish to suggest, as he ts passing from that branch of the sub- ject, that from the nature of the Congres- sional Library it is impossible that it ahopld ever become a circulating library.” Mr. Hale—“Absolutely so. That feature can never be brought into it. I think we have all had ahout the same experience with regard to the smaller, chsaper, more generally extended circulating libraries. In going about in my own state, in the larger villages and towns, I have been interested to fo into ths circulating Mbraries and to see the kind of books that are read by the people. It is educating all the time. To my view it is better and in substance ac- complishes more than public schools. The books that are rad are not cheap books; they are not trashy books; they are not wild books; but the best of the great En- slish authors in every domain of literature are read by hundreds and thousands all of the time. They ar? not expensive books. As the senator from Nevada has said, they can be bought at cheap rates. They are in good type; they are of good, fair binding; good, fair letterpress; and it is not simply fiction, travel, adventure that is read, but poetry, history, the arts, philosophy, essays and all the things that go to make up the higher field in English literature are read, and read extensively, you may say, by everybody. Th3 committee found that there was that want here in Washington.” Why the Government Should Con- c tribute. “The senator from Maine,” sald Mr. Hoar, referring to Mr. Hale, “has said so much of what I had in mind to say when the senator from Texas sat down that I do not know that I ought to detain the Senate. “In the first place, as has been said and, I believe, agreed on both sides, the Na- tional Library is not intended to perform the function of a circulating library, and it Gught not to be so intended. We ought to have in this country and at the capital a library where th2 collections on every sub- Ject of human study shall be as complete as possible, so that scholars and investi- gators from all parts of the country can come here and find in the building to which they resort every authority and every ma- tarlal for their work. The students of his- tery, the writers of history, the students of science, the men who contribute to the progress of science by invention and by re- flection of their own, want to find every- thing hare which the genius of mankind has written down and which the past has accumulated, “The senator says that the people of the District ought to pay for this circulating library for which this appropriation is moved. I do not think so. The permanent residents of this Disirict are a compara- tively small proportion of the people here. This District was intended by the framers of the Constitution as a place to be occu- pied, controlled and managed mainly with reference to the convenience of the govern- ment and the people of the whole country, and not for the permanent local popula- tien. I suppese that more than one-half of | the dwellers in the District of Columbia are persons whose voting residence is else-, where, whose property interests are else- where, whose hearts are elsewhere, and who expect, at the end of a more or less brief term of service, to return to théir homes to spend their lives. “So it seems to me that the policy which we hav> adcpted is a sound one, of paying one-half the expenses of the government of this District from the national treasury, use the ration is certainly interested in it at least one-half, and only impose the other halt on the District of Columbia. For myself, I should prefer that which would probably amount to about the same thing, that is, to have us take an average of the tax rate of the prosperous, well- managed cities of the United States, and impose that tax upon the personal and real estate of the people of the District, and the gevernment pay ull the rest of the ex- penses, small and large, without regard to an equal division between the District and the general government. “I am not afraid of what the senator dreads, that we shall be paying out twenty, or thirty, or forty thousand dollars for a ¥ ae SEAS AIEA LOR LOA LEA YEA EA LEP IEA EP DEP YEP.

I hope that will hap- pen and come to pass within a reasonable period. I hope the time will be when the free circulating library system of this city will becor a part of the school or educa- tional system of this city, just as it is in the best ordered communities in other parts of the country, as itis in San Fra co, as it is in Boston, in New Haven, in Poruand, and elsewhere; and that we shall maintain, accessible to every inhabitant, branches for the delivery and receipt of books in every quarter of the city of Washington—an am- ple and convenient circulating library, con- taining the best works in English and American literature and science in all de- partments, and that the United States will pay one-half of the cost of such an institu- tion. The cost of such an institution ought to require an expenditure several times as great as that which is proposed here.” A vote was then taken and the amend- ment providing for the free public library was agreed to without a division. —-e-—___. SETTLED THE CHAMPIONSHIP. Saengerbund Bowlers Defeated the Carroll Institate Team. The Saengerbund bowling team practi- cally settled the question of the champion- ship of the District Bowling League last evening by winning thre> straight games from Carroll Institute. The games were played on the Saenger- bund alleys, and the largest crowd ever in attendanc> at a local bowling match was present. Long before the time for calling the first game the space allowed for spec- tators was crowded to overflowing, every inch of room available for th2 purpose be- ing taken advantage of. The games were of particular interest, irasmuch as the two teams, both having won and lost the same number of games, were tied for first place, and the games as above stated, would practically decide the winncr of the league championship. The Saengers bowled in magnificent form, putting up three games all above th> 8u0 mark, and winning handily in each event. The Carrolls, too, did well in the first two games, bowiing totals that would ordinarily have been winners. In the last game, however, they took a tumble and secured a rather Jow score. One of the prominent features of the series was Gorman’s long string of clean frames, bowling the first two games without a break and sparing in the first frame of th2 last game, giving him a run of twenty-one clean boxes, ex- ceiling all previous league records in that respect. He also had the highest averag> of either team, the good one of 187. Spiess ran ‘the highest individual game, bowling 211 in the second event, and, following ciose on Gorman, with average of 185. The large number of difficult spares made shows clearly the high grade of bowling the teams were putting up. Burdin2 is credited with 1-2-10; Bruegger, 1-2-4-10; Spiess, 5-10; Laue, and Gorman, 5-7. The first frame of th opening game saw Sczengerbund take the lead, securing 11 pips the better of the argument, and hav- ing but one break to two by the visitors. The German club play2d beautifully throughout the first half, the side having but three breaks in the five frames. The Carrolls pulled up to a dangerous closeness» by the eighth, but mad2 a poor finish, the hom? team winning by 61 pins. ‘The score follows: SAENGERBUND. CARROLL INSTITUTE. . Sp. Se. St. Sp. Se.

Carroll did fine work, securing a lead of ten pins in the opening frame and increasing it by nine in the second.
