Washington and the Libraries.

When the proposition to open the Con-
gressional Library on Sundays in the flu
ture was advanced by Librarian Putnam
and Senator Mcmillan and provision there
for was made in the pending legislative APP
Precipitation bill, this community rejoiced
over the opportunity thus held out to con-
suit the literary and to view the artistic
treasures of the great collection on the
only occasion available to many thousands.
But Washington was in this case merely
an incidental prospective beneficiary. 1t
had for years longed for this privilege, es-
pecialy during the period unmarked by
access to circulating library of any kind
and to any great reference library at night.
But the initiative which went to the point
of action came not from the people OF the
capital, but from the official head of the
library, who regarded the matter as pure
ly one of wise administration, without ref
erence to the wishes Of this particular
community.
Under these circumstances it is unfor-
tunate that Senator Gallinger should have
so misunderstood the matter as to be led
the other day in the Senate in the debate
on the legislative bill to declare that 1.-The
clamor has come from citizens of this
District that this library be opened on
Sunday and yet they have done very little
for themselves In the establishment of
libraries" This expression indicates a
misapprehension both as to the facts in
the Sunday opening matter and as to the
circumstances under which the Public Ii
brary was established. AS already indi-
Gated, the 'clamor'' for Sunday opening
came from the librarian Of Congress, who
appreciated how much wider would be ting
usefulness of the collection under hix
charge IL 1t were available on the day OF
the greatest opportunity for the use Of
not only the people Of Washington but OF
many thousands OF visitors to the capital
from the states who as rule are forced
to depart without consulting the rich lit
erary collection.
The people of Washington, as a COM
munity. have always been badly served In
the matter of Libraries. They have been
in the past too heavily burdened under
municipal expenses with the handicap OF
governmental indifference to provide even
such comparative essentials to community
culture as q free book collection. When
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1901-01-23

the government tardily became munich
pal partner, in recognition of its position
as owner Of half Of the property values
to whether the one or the other Of the
joint contributors to the local expense
should move in the matter Of local Ii
braries. After years Of delay it fell to the
part of the residents of the city to ask
for this necessary supplement to the pub
lie school system. They were before Con-
gress with this petition for several years
before finally the bare establishment was
legislatively secured. The recent history
of the Public Library is familiar.
Therefore it is unfair to this community
for any one to assert, as did Mr.. Gallinger
the other day, that 1.-The great city of
Washington did not have a library until
Congress came to its rescue and provided
to pay one-half the expenses Of it." AS
well might it be said to Washington's dis
credit that it did not possess the federal
institutions until Congress voted for their
creation. AS we'll might it be said in these
days that Washington would not have any
school houses and teachers If Congress did
not pay one-half the expense; as well that
the capital would have no policemen to
protect itself from violence and crime If
Congress did not contribute to their sup
port.
In this matter of the Public Library, as
in the matter of the schools and the po-
licemen, Congress stands as the repre-
sentative of the largest taxpayer in the
federal District, as halloween and as the
contributor, with some notable exceptions
of which Congress should be ashamed, of
half the cost of maintaining a city COM
mensurate with the dignity and character
of the nation of which 1t is the capital.

After several weeks of delay the bills

Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio rail-

Senator Seweu.
From the Philadelptia Press.

fHHdueiPEIH
Senator Sewefl holds, as he deserves, the
undisputed leadership of the republican
party of New Jersey AS long as 1t remains
in power in that state-and 1t looks as
though 1t was in to stay-and Senator Sew
ell desires to remain at his present post
there is little doubt that he will be re-
tanned there New Jersey is well served by
her senators. Gen. Sewells long experience
as a United States senator, his fidelity to
the interests Of New Jersey and his ability
to further those interests and take an in
telligent and helpful part in legislating for
the entire country are reasons enough why
he should be retained at Washington and
why he should receive, as he did at Trenton
yesterday, the unanimous vote of his party
in the legislature for reelection.

The calm and self-possessed manner IN
which the audience behaved when fire
was discovered in the Grand Opera House,

of the newspapers. The dangers and use
lessness of stampede have at last been
impressed on the public mind In the course
of a few more decades it will probably be
universally understood that it is unsafe to

carelessly under the impression that it is

FRIDAY. MARCH 5. l9Ol.

Governor Geer vetoed the Portland
charter bill passed by the legislatures
The revised charter placed the police
and fire departments under one com
mission with two democrats and one re-
publican as commissioners, The reason
given by the governor for his veto is
that law has been enacted creating a
commission Of prominent citizens Of
Portland to frame a charter TO be sub
mitted to the people about year hence.
He says that in view OF this provision it
is not advisable to change the charter
now and thus create business disturbance
and uncertainty in public affairs. The
democrats who voted for Senator Mitch
ell in exchange for this concession to
their party In Portland, along with their
supporters throughout the state are
greatly chagrined at the governor for
upsetting their plans. Their republican
coadjutors got their choice for senator,
but they got left. Sic transit gloria
mundi.

Apples in Oregon.

Henry Dosch, secretary Of the state
board of horticulture, gives the total
acreage in apple orchards in Oregon at
l6,500 acres.
This seems to the Observer 4 q small
area. There are 60 millions of acres in
Oregon and it is surprising that there
are no more, now, in apples, The fruit
interest, with apples as king, has been
far more talked and written about than
any other Oregon industry. For so years
men have planted orchards in Oregon;
the state has been famous for its "big
red apples for half q century, and yet
so small a portion OF land adapted to
apples is devoted to their growth.
Yet l6,500 acres is a large orchard.
Reckoning that the trees stand 25 feet
apart, seventy trees can be placed on an
acre. This would make the number
OF apple trees now in Oregon ], ,155, 900.
But il in planting the trees, the orchard
lists followed the formula laid down by
