Information Furnished on pemand.

The demand for information on the Chi
cago Public library from all parts OF the
world has grown with the growth of the
library and from a great variety OF
sources. There IS, of course, a limit to the
amount of work which can be accomplish
ed by the staff of workers employed by the
library board, and Chicago people must be
first served; therefore, when the demand
requires much research and some copying,
it can only be accomplished by voluntary
overtime work of an employee, which
must be paid for. The charges in this
case are very modest. For instance an
editor of paper published in Marshall
town, la, in the line of some work he was
doing had need of rather lengthy excerpts
from 'Hansard' Parliamentary Debates. -
He applied to Librarian Hid, and was
told the matter could be furnished, pro-
viding he was willing to pay for having it
copied. This he was quite willing to do.
and one of the regular typewri;ers did the
work evenings, and sent on the bill with
tho work. The editor. deeming what ho
received worth more than the bill called
for, sent double the amount. with the as
surance that the matter sent was just
what he needed. Chicago Tribune

PRESS COMMENTS.
A New Experiment in Sociology.
IN. Y. Mail and Express,

A problem in the science of sociology
is about to be placed on trial in the East
river, at the foot of Twenty-sixth street
Will the average tramp consent to bath
in order to secure free meal and free
bed, or will he turn and flee back into the
inhospitable streets rather than sacrifice
that superf1uous surface to the building up
OF which he has devoted many toiliess
days and uncomfortable nights? Tonight
Charity Commissioner Faure will face this
problem on board the new three.story
floating lodging house, which will then
be opened for the reception of guests.
Every tramp who applies must come
prepared to wash ard be clean, and abuD-
dant shower baths and dressing rooms are
provided. But this is not all The
clothing to which he is SO welded that it
may have become almost literally part of
himself must be checked and disinfected.
to be replaced by IA snowy pightgown This
feature, indeed, will be tine supreme test
of the good faith of the applicant 1t IS
possible that Weary Wraggles will regard
the entire enterprise as a blow aimed at
the dignity of his profession and an out
rageous invasion Of private rights. He
may refuse to recognize the law OF
eminent domain as applied to cleanliness
and the suppression Of disease. But we
hope not Until this is demonstrated, we
shall continue to look hopefully to a
future filled with disinfected and imlnac-
ulate knights of the road and river
The science Of sociology advances slowly,
but surely, with the worlds progress.
We disbelieve today what we accepted
without question century ago The
divine right of royalty, the essential dis
tinction Ut classes, and what not, have
faded with time. The Roentgen rays, the
possibility of municipal reform, the
supremacy of the common, people in
government, and thousand and one
propositions once incredible are today
matters Of common acceptance. WHY,
then, should not the tramp and chronic
dirt be divorced and each still exist as an
essential of modern civilization? The
proposition is not SO absurd as have beer
other propositions since shown to be lie
monstrable.

the sound produced will be like that Of
mingling ice foes, the meeting Of express
trains upon the same track, ocean liners
bows on, the comlningling of Coxey's
brigade and free lunch. 1t may be that
we dwell too long upon the sound thereof
but at this distance sound seems likely
to be the principal feature Of such get
ting together. What else than sound can
we expect of that reform party from
Marie, consisting CT one man and the
slogan mo tax on dogs" and of tho re-
formers of Nevada, who are ready to sup
port Beelzebub provided he will vote IN
limited aid to the silver mine owners
when these dissimilar and dlscoruant
bodies attempt to dovetail their bristies:
How the wheels will whirr over the
matter of government roads, what O
defamation Of applause there will be when
the bloomer woman appears upon the
scene TO demand the abolition of man
Think of them all agreeing upon what
they want, such simple matter, too
But while they are agreeing other parties
will probably go ahead as If nothing OF
tremendous import were happening
