That the employees of the government
printing Office should desire that their de-
partment of the government be furnished
with library is by no means strange.
They see that some other departments
have been supplied with books and they
know of no logical reason why there should
be any discrimination. This entirely proper
demand of the government printing office
employees reopers a matter that should by
this time be quite thoroughly understood
il the District of Columbia. The printers
and binders could not possibly be made to
understand why they should GOT be-as to
a library at least-on the same plane as
employees of the Interior Department, and
then it follows that If it be the proper
thing to give the government printing
office a library there should be similar
justice mcted out to employees of all other
departments and bureaus hat are bookless.
Suppose that Con SreSs should give to each
of the departments an adequate library, a
considerable sum OF money would he simply
wasted, for there would be unnecessary
duplication of books and much more of
money spent for librarian service than
would be needed were all the departmental
libraries gathered together in one place.

Library. to be free public library such
as this city should have had long ago. The
advantages of such n consolidation were
emphasized In the report, submitted a year
ago. of the committee on public library of
the Washington Board OF Trade.
Treating of this subject of consolida ton
the report said that with the existence OF a
general library. "a great body Of govern
ment employees would enjoy privileges of
which they are now entirely deprived.
Those now having a departmental circu-
lating library at hand, instead of being
limited to it's 5000 or 10000 volumes, would
have access to more than 10000 in the gen.
eral library, augmented by large additions
from the congressional library and by pri-
vate contributions, which, If the library
were once started would undoubtedly be
considerable" The employees of the gov
eminent printing office would do well to
include in their book-seeking program an
effort to bring about the establishment of
the proposed general departmental and free
public library in this city, for should they
succeed they would do much more for them
selves than they could possibly accomplish
by the installation of a small library such
as Congress would be likely to give them,
if 1t should respond at all to their Individual
appeal.

Chinese exclusion act so far as it applies
to Cinnamon to be employed at the ex-
position. They say they have come here
for that purpose. A rigid examination
will be made in the matter.
