NEW JERSEY NEWS.

'Tis pity that the people Of East Orange
didn't have an opportunity 10 express their
opinion formally and legally on Andrew Carne-

free library. At least one leading citizen says
that the East Orange folk don't want library.
and that anyway. If they did. they are perfectly
well able TO pay for Both OF these propo-
sitions or assertions. or whatever else you may
call them. arc interesting enough to deserve
some consideration
II is true that DIT Kitchen has stood alone in
objecting to the acceptance Of Mr.. Carnegie's
generous gift and that the City Council voted
unanimously to accept it. These facts. however
do not necessarily affect DR.. Kitchens conten-
tions. And in looking at all sides Of the question
there Is no reflection. direct or implied either
on Mr. Carnegie or the man VINO succeeoeo
in getting him interested In the library
plan The only point at issue Is: DO the peopie
OF East Orange want a free library, and II So
do they prefer TO pay for 1t themselves!
Newark and most other New-Jersey cities
have provided their own free Libraries WITHOUT
donations or contributions Of any kind Fater-
son is a notable exception; the library there Is
housed in a building given to the town by one
oT its daughters whose family had been ioentl-
fed with Paterson's industrial history IL u
doubtful however, il any OF the pIaces HO"
owning free libraries would have objected 10

good friend Of popular education. II the mat
ter had been threshed out in East orange Oeioie
the Council took official action we should nave
