THE NEED OF THE state LIBRARY

n nEPORTS from Sacramento are to the effect
~ that some very important changes may soon
be made in the arrangements of the interior OF
the Capitol inasnuch the number of volumes in
the State library has increased so rapidly it will be
necessary to provide more space in the building for
storing them 1t is said the librarian finds it impos-
sible to make for all the books, and the trus-
have applied for the OF the Supreme Court
room for as a law library
On that showing it will be conceded the first and
pressing need of the State library is for more
and more ample accommodations for its vol
umes 1t would be OF little use to add to the num-
Der of volumes ii they be placed in position
where they will be convenient and accessible to the
readers There remains, however, the question
whether the additional space can be better acquired in
the Capitol than elsewhere. If considerable num-
Der Of the volumes were in continuous circulation
among the people OF the State who are taxed to main
tain the library there would be ample space in the
present rooms to hold those which would remain on
the shelves.
The Call has repeatedly directed attention to the
many advantages which have resulted from the travel
ing library system wherever it has been extensively
applied The adoption of that system by our State
library would entail little additional expense
and would at once solve the problem Of book storage
Were it put in operation several thousands of vol
umes unread and unused at Sacramento would
be circulated throughout the State for the benefit
Of the public and the usefulness OF the library thereby
vastly increased
Should it be found impossible for the trustees OF
the library to adopt the travelling system without
authority given by an act of the Legislature, there
is another plan under consideration in New Eng
land which might soon be undertaken here with sue
cess. That plan which reviewed in The Call
The San Francisco call., 1899-10-13

few days ago, proposes to obtain from Congress an
act extending to libraries the right OF sending out
books for general circulation through the mails at
the OF second class mail matter. In other words,
the aim is to obtain for libraries the same mail facil
ties which are given to publishing houses.
The movement has found such general and strong
support there every to expect Congress TO
grant the desired privilege at the coming session 1t
will then be possible if the trustees see t keep
large number of the volumes OF the State library
in among the people instead of storing them
idly and unused the shelves they have already
overcrowded. There will of course be no objection
to the proposed OF the Supreme Court for a
law library if that course should be deemed advisable
by the Justices and others interested but the point
to be borne in mind is that the chief need of the
State library is more readers and not more book
shelves If the library made to serve the liter
ary requirements of the taxpayers throughout the
State there would be storage problem fret the
minds of the trustees for years to come.

AN OFFICIAL REPORT.

I E publish to-day nearly the full text of an
VA official report made to Our Government by an
agent OF the War Department upon affairs ii
the Philippines 1t is something that should instantly
enlist the attention OF the American expansionists
and imperiaists. The policy of the Government in
the Philippines is at this time dictated by them, and
they responsible for everything that follows the
installation of that policy.
Time will prove that it would have been much
easier to begin right with an upright, honest and
disciplined administration, than to reform and set
it right after beginning wrong Imperialsts who
moved by policy and not by impulse will in this
report verihcation OF everything said and predicted
by the ant-mperiaists. They will see also that
less vigorous measures taken to mend our man
ners and purify administration in the islands the
charge will stand that it is for the profit OF army
followers and contractors.
The report makes an American feel as if he is in
strange country. 1t reveals matters that two years
ago seemed SO foreign to Our scheme of government
and to the genius OF our people that is brought
face to face with startling change. The unhappes
OF all revelations is that of the persistence of
prejudice. In administration abroad We are reap
Ing the consequence OF long leaving that prejudice
unbridled at home. The contempt felt for the In
dian negro and Chinese has been fostered rather than
suppressed In the Philippines this prejudice flares
up against people we must have always with us, il
hold the islands, for but the natives and the
Chinese live there and work and produce sur
plus OF the articles of commerce. This prejudice
stands in the way, whether motive in occupa-
ton is merely commercial or really educative race
against which feel that prejudice is not to be
educated and elevated by another race that holds it
in contempt and regard it as inferior 1t may bet
ter be trusted to continue self-education with self
success
The report conveys much information on the sub
ect Of the indignation and hostility of the people,
ard leaves doubt that the Americans are hated
if anything, more cordially than were the Spaniards
Through this report and the declarations of Judge
Day and President Schurman the people are getting
needed light upon the appalling problem which has
arisen in the East and promises to remain for many
a day to tax our resources and our patience

THE CUBAN PROBLEM.

NI ORE and more clearly do the inperalists as
sert their intention to violate all the profes-
sions Of the Government with regard to Cuba
and if possible bring about the annexation of the
island to empire They do not, indeed refer to
the Cubans as ''our subjects that word being con
fined yet to the Filipnos but they are announcing
with little that the Cubans are unfit to
govern themselves and that any who show desire
for independence are lacking in patriotism"
For the purpose of convincing the American peo-
pie OF the imperative necessity of establishing per
manent government in Cuba there is now going on
a campaign of education by the imperalist press 1t
IS conducted with little skill. The public is told
that the better class of Cubans do not wish indepen-
dence 1t is said that those who fought for it
against Spain are of the opinion it would be
bad thing and they would prefer not to have it
Along with the imperiasts the owners OF the big
sugar and tobacco interests of the islands are work
ing for annexation Admission to the Union even
as Territory would admission to the full
freedom of trade which prevails throughout our do
main There would then be vast profits for the men
who controlled the Cuban industries and worked
them with cheap labor.
The issue may have to be met at the coming ses-
sion of Congress- and should therefore have the ear
nest attention of the people Imperialism aims at
more than the conquest of the Philippines 1t is sup
ported largely by who desire exploit the labor
of tropc islands for their own enrichment careless
Of the consequences to American labor or American
welfare. 1t is safe to say that present popular
vote on the subject would result in an overwhelming
majority against the annexation scheme cunning
campaign Of education, however worked up by an
occasional disturbance in Cuba, may have the effect
of converting a good many unrefectng persons to
the imperial scheme It is, therefore, well to watch
the movement closely for there is no telling what
may happen next.
The issue, moreover, has its moral as we'll as its
material aspect. 1t is not merely a question of
whether it be expedient to bring into competition
with the industries of people those of the tropic
islands There is the further consideration OF ma
tional good faith AS the Boston Transcript says:
'in considering the ultimate destiny of Cuba the law
makers at the Capitol must deal not only with the
wishes of the United States but the desires of Cuba
They must regard as than mere formula that
solemn declaration OF President Mckinley, reiterated
by Congress, that the United States dsclaims any
intention to exercise sovereignty Jurisdiction or con-
tro of Cuba except for the pacihcation thereof and
that when that is accomplished, it intends to leave
the government and the control of the island to its
people He who may read and reading under
stand this plain statement 1t is an outspoken decla-
! ration against annexation.

"YoUNG GUARDIAN ANGELS" +"
School Children Banded Together to
Protect Dumb Animals.

The ladies of the Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals are meeting
with gratifying success in their efforts to
present meritorious entertainment to
raise funds to purchase badges for the
youthful members of the Bands of Mercy
These youngsters, numbering over $4,000
pupils of the public schools, are being
carefully educated to be kind and mer-
ciful to all dumb animals and many have
actually entered the field of active work
Their membership in measure makes
them a part of the parent society and
feeling this not a few are on the lookout
for cases of cruelty, which are reported
to the secretary of the organization for
investigation. A number of cases have
been thus discovered and the culprits ar
rested and punished by the proper Of
ficers of the law.
Thus the influence of the Bands of
Mercy, aside from the educational fea-
lures, is being felt in the community for
no person who is abusing his animals
knows who may be witnessing the abuse.
TO become an important factor in his pros
ecution. The badges of membership which
the ladies are arranging to purchase are
simply to be the evidence that the wear
ers belong to the organization The public
is responding literally to the call for
money for this worthy purpose.

MOTHER is IRISH.
Has Lived in Ireland Great Deal and His First
Practical Experiments in Wireless Telegra-
ply Were Conducted There.

1t takes a very daring rider to win dis
tinction in Ireland, a country of daring
riders, but Marconi accomplished that
feat. He did something else. He cap
tured the daughter of Power of Gurteen,
one of the haughtiest of the rural Irish
aristocracy, and took her to Italy on a
bridal tour.
The fruit of that union is the present
distinguished inventor of wireless teleg-
raphy.
Marconi has lived good deal in Ire
land among his mothers relations, but
he was born and educated in Italy. He
considers himself fully half Irish, and
many of his characteristics are more
Irish than Italian.
Marconi's first practical experiments
with wireless telegraphy were made in
Dublin Bay. The first wireless tele-
graphic newspaper dispatch was printed
IN the Dublin Independent, a not very en-
terprising paper published at the Irish
capital
Marconi has a relative living in this
city engaged in Government employment
His name is Power and he is a special
inspector of the Treasury Department.
Marconi's Irish relatives are we'll off
while his Italian relations are poor. His
education was at the expense of his Irish
kindred. If Marconi is not already en-
gagged. he hopes to be, to marry Miss
Fitzgerald, not very distant relative o1
the Irish Duke of Leinster.

PRESS COMMENTS
Wireless Telegraphy in Practice.
) O 8 9 g o o Q @ o @ o o Q 8 . . Z

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
For the first time wireless telegraphy
was put to a practical test during the
races between the Shamrock and Co.
Iumbia 1t was a success, though its
practicability under other conditions is
not absolutely assured.
Moving boats accompanied the yachts
on their course. From these dispatches
were sent to receiving stations along
the shore. The messages were accurate
ly transmitted and easily read. In ad-
dition, there was no loss of time, as
were known in the news centers of
New York without the loss of more
than half minute of time or a min
ute at the furthest.
explained in a novel way in news
item in the Public Ledger 1t says "a
better understanding may be had by
illustrating the system by means of
key will respond sympathetically each
to the other. if either be set in motion
Forks of dissimilar keys will not effect
each other, even though they be
with the Marconi instruments. Ar
ranged by the masters hand, score
may be stationed about and each will
respond TO any signal from any of the
others. But by a simple reversal the
apparatus may be individualized and
signals exchanged between the two, while
none of he other eighteen respond"
1t may be said that this late test
was under favorable conditions, though
Sig. Marconi has sent messages across
the English Channel. and really believes
that he will yet send them across the
Atlantic, without the use of submarine
cables. 1t certainly seems possible.
Some of the best electrical talent in
the world is engaged upon the unsolved
cess in the widest way seems possible,
If not probable.

VILLAIN MARCONI, whose wire


NM less telegraphic invention has
wv made him peer of Edison and
Tesla in the scientific world, is
not altogether an Italian. His mother has
something to do with it, and she is Irish
of the Irish. Marconi himself betrays the
nativity of his mother in his Irish blue
eyes and his tone of "devilment."
1t came about in this way: About a
half century ago an Italian of the name
of Charles Bianconi settled in Ireland
He was thrifty and enterprising. He
located in Clonmel, the capital of Tip
perary. He established a stage line and
within a dozen years controlled nearly
all the usual routes of transportation in
the southern province of Ireland. In a
little while-this, it ought to be re-
membered, was before the development
of railroads-BiancOni had the contract
for carrying nearly all the Irish mails.
He got rich, bought an estate and a
castle, and his children are now number
ed among the Irish country gentry.
Bianconi had a nephew of the name of
Marconi, who went to Ireland as chief
veterinary surgeon for the Bianconi
stage routes. This Marconi was a civil
engineer as well as a veterinary surgeon.
He was also an all-around sportsman.
