PARIS OF THE FAUsouRos.
Workinsman's Pride in the Streets Z
tho French Capital

workinsman's Pride In tho Streets Of
tho French Capital
! An article in the March number OF
the Century, Paris of the Faubourgs," I"
by Richard Whiteing, author and An
dre Castaigne, illustrator, throws q
| bright light on the difference between
the lives of the laboring classes in the
French capital and in London. The
Partisan lives in the streets, and prtdes
himself on their beauty and cleanli-
ness; the Londoner has no less to
boast of, in this respect, and takes less
interest in the external aspect Of the
city. The people of the faubourgs, the
humble folk generally-small traders
and small annuitants, as we'll as work.
men-like all the rest of US. are the
product of their surroundings. They
are shaped by the private life and by
the public life, by the street and the
home. These people in Paris owe
great deal to the public life. 1t con-
descends to their needs for color, va
riety, movement, in way universal
among the Latin nations. Out Of doors
is merely their larger home, and they
expect to find adequate provision there
for every kind Of enjoyment. Our own
race tends to regard that domain as q
mere thoroughfare between the work
shop and the hreside, where all our
interests are centered. II 1t serves
that purpose that is about all we ask
of it. i may be as ugly as it likes.
and, within certain limits Of indul-
gence. almost as dirty. To the French
man 1t is more than place Of transit;
1t is almost place of sojourn. So the
Partisan common man has his share
of the Champs Elysees and Of the
boulevards in his freedom of access to
their fountains and promenades, and
their bordering alleys of tender green.
He comes downstairs to them, SO to
speak, as soon as the scavengers have
done their timely work. He descends
to his thoroughfare as the millionaire
expects to descend to his breakfast
room or his study, with all its appoint
ments fresh from the broom, and shin
ing in their brightness of metal and
glass. So, whatever the gloom Of the
domestic prospect, his street helps him
to feel good. The beauty of the stat
uary. of the public buildings, is a
means to the same end. For nothing
the poorest of poor devils may see the
glorious bronzes In the terrace garden
Of the Tuileries. the outdoor figures of
the Luxembourg, the great horses Of
the Place de la Concorde, the magnifi-
cent compositions of the Arch The
very lamp-post that will light his way

prising most OF the large newspapers

the Waldorf Astoria, in this city, gave
thorough consideration to the sudden
increase in the prizes of white paper
and the reasons therefor. The follow

adopted, and a committee of the news
paper proprietors will personally pre-
sent the same to Congress.
Whereas, The price OF printing pa
per used by newspapers in the United
States has been arbitrarily increased
from 20 to 100 per cent, without rea-
son or warrant to be found in the
condition Of the industry itself, and,

that this increase is due to the work.
ings of trust; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the American News
paper Publishers Association, repre-
senting in this case not only its own
members, but the $4,000 newspapers
Of the United States, calls upon Con-
gress to make inquiry, by means of
special committee, into the conditions
above described, to the end that suit
able legislation may be provided to
remedy this condition OF Alfalfa, in
the interest of the best source of
public information provided for the
people, to-wit: The newspaper p4ss,
whose interests the founders OF the
Republic held in the highest regard.
The attention of Congress is direct
ed to five bills now in the hands of
the ways and means committee, not
necessarily to aid the passage of any
of them speci fically, but as evidence
Of a great demand for some form of
remedial legislation, to which the in
quiry we request would be prelimin-
airy. We believe that the entire agi-
tation against trusts presents no
more concrete example than this, and
your petitioners, relying upon the de-
sire of Congress to legislate in the
interests of the people, believe you
will accept the opportunity to make
this inquiry in the spirit in which it
is demanded.
The newspaper, it is fair to state,
unlike most other forms of industry,
sells at a liked price, and has no means
of putting the increased cost on the
consumer. In many instances it
means the complete conhscaton of
profits, and in many others creates an
actual loss
The apparently sincere desire of
all parties to deal with the trust ques-
tion removes this inquiry from the
charge of partisanshlp and makes it
what it is intended to be, an inquiry
in the pubic interest
