REPUBLIC is a “form” of government, Behind that form can subsist a varied assortment of realities, some of which have other than their face value. One of the tasks of politics & to discover the reality behind the mask. Justice Ketlogg has done fis in his ruling requiring William Barnes jr. to answer questions to him in a legislative inquiry. “It is a well known fact,” says Justice, “of which judicial notice may very properly be taken, that gander latter-day methods of political organizations the actual rulers of many political eub-divisions are not those who are nominally hold- fg office, but those whose control over the political organization to which the actual officers belong made their election or appointment je.” He recognizes that “a dominant leader can so exercise his as to obtain substantial pecuniary benefit from the public by urging the officers over whom he has influence to award public business to corporations in which ho has an interest.” Let the public recognize that its real ruler is not the mayor or who nominally exercises authority but the boss behind him, and it will discern a spectacle alien to republican institutions. It is the spectacle of a ruler conducting a variety of businesses with public gd but without public participation in profits. Through his proxies he builds bridges and sells them to State or county or city. He also makes and sells to them building material, paving material, fire en- gines, office furniture, school books, public printing and supplies of Kind. This is no other than one form of state socialism—a degenerate in which the public resources are administered for benefit of , not of community. It is proprietary government. Egypt had ander the pyramid-building Pharaohs. The Congo had it under Geopold, who used state servants to collect dividends in his rubber ions. New York had it under the Patroons. Proprietary _ government is the reality behind the mask of republican institutions ever part of this country. i iy ns A LIBRARY FOR WOMEN. ; FEMINIST LIBRARY is to be founded by the Equal Fran- 4 chise Society and “two large ground-floor rooms” eet aside ig for the filing of everything dealing with the woman’s move- . ment. It will be hard to pack into two rooms all that shows woman ‘influencing man and asserting an equal place in affairs, for the wom- + eafe movement ramifies widely. | egy wherein goddesses, nymphs, naiads, undines and heroic maidens @ge shown as disturbing the Olympian calm, and making or marring mortal fortunes. If it dealt with Helen it would have to open its ~ Ghelves to literature of the “yellow peril,” for according to Herodotus : the siege of Troy was but a chapter in the age-long reaction of East | Mpon West, of Asia upon Europe. Semiramis incarnated Assyrian | geide and corruption. Dido’s name preludes the contest between _ Bemite and Graeco-Iatin for control of the Mediterranean. Shakes- 's Cleopatra symbolizes the Orient revenging in luxury what it lost in war. Zenobia was the pioneer of modern eugenics, Cor- Pella a classic protest against race suicide, Theodora the embodied paradox of Byzantine civilization. If the library takes note of Pope Joan, it must also of mediaeval - Obristianity. It cannot treat of Joan of Are and Maintenon and ' Pompadour and Du Barry and La Valliere and Corday without em- » bracing the entire history of France, and reaching Napoleon’s conclu- | ton that French history “must be in four volumes or a hundred.” It cannot present Maria Theresa and Catharine of Russia without in- Minding the whole story of Continental balance of power in the Ba teenth century. It cannot explain Boadicea and Elizabeth and ly Mary and Anne and Victoria with leas perspective than all | Pnglish history. What setting would suffice for China’s Empress Dowager that did not include Confucianism, the Tartar conquests and 4 service reform? / The fact is that while there is a “woman’s page” in the news- women overflow it.

NE PRETEXT for the strike against night collection of ashes and garbage is that people sleep with open windows and the dust blows in upon them to their detriment; in the day- time they could close windows when the ashcart came around. Why any dust, day or night? Why not do as Vienna does, and have covered ashcarts, so equipped with curtains that no dust escapes when the cans are emptied? A Matter of Strength.
