Private Rooms in Libraries.
A Suggestion for the Greater Comfort
of Readers.

A suggestion, original, but not with
out the recommendation of common
sense, is made by an observant fire.
quenter Of public libraries. 1t is that
the great library buildings should
have an annex of some sort contain
ing small private rooms for readers
who are willing to pay for the priv
iege This is worth consideration.
1t may be undemocratic, but there
are students who do not like TO do
their reading in a great public room,
rubbing elbows with all sorts of peo-
pie; and such readers might be at
tracted to the library, and give 1t their
support, if they could secure privacy.
There are, however, reasons still more
cogent for the usefulness Of this limo
walton.
The readers for whom public l.
braries are intended in great part are
those who are engaged in some form
of research which cannot be carried
on elsewhere. To such readers II Is
not pleasant to have to 60 through
the formality of taking ont a dozen
reference books over and over, from
day to day, and if they could have
some little niche in which the books
could be kept until the task was fin
ished it would be a convenience.
Moreover, these workers often do
their work in couples, and would find
It a convenience to consult each other
now and then, which manifestly can
not be done in the general reading
room without disturbing others. With
private room, it might be possible
to work from dictation, and even to
use a typewriter. while retaining the
advantages of the great collection of
books inaccessible in private Ii
braries. To a serious worker the cost
Of renting such room, even If con
siderable, would be less than the cost
Of reference books, and since such
readers often have only rented room
in which to keep books, being temper
airy residents in the city. the library
loom would serve all the purposes of
q study and save them more than II
cost, while the price might be made
high enough to keep away sham stu
dents.

f;lirlyl Has Columbian University
come to such a pass that the president
cannot manage its affairs without the
aGvice and control of the studentsl
To old-fashioned people, who have
never quite given up the idea that
boys go to college TO learn of men
wiser than they, and That men capable
of administering the affairs of a great
university are competent TO decide
whether or not a particular student Is
fitted for a particular course. such a
condition of affairs seems inexplica
bic. If the time mas come for the
students of Columbian University to
govern the faculty as well as them
selves-and the excellent discipline

Mr.. Hemenway,s chairmanship.

There seems to have been less parley-
ing than usual for committee places
this summer. one reason being that the
SPeakership was settled so soon after
the last election that there was no op-
portunity for "dickers" and trades.
Everyone has known that Uncle joe
would exercise his own judgment in
the selection Of committees and their
chairmeu. and that perhaps it was not
best to make many suggestions to him.
II is not likely that many radical
changes will be made in the chairman
ships OF the leading committees. where
the members at the head OF these COM
mittees in the Fifty-seventh Congress
were returned TO the Fifty eighth Con-
gress. Il is well understood that Mr..
Hemenway OF Indiana will succeed Mr..
Cannon as chairman Of the COMMITTEES
on Appropriations. and it is also equally
certain that Mr.. Payne will retain his
position at the head Of the Ways and
Means Committee. The most important
committee where there may be a change
is the Committee on the Judiciary 1t
is possible that Mr.. Jenkins, who sat
at the head Of the table in that commit
tee room for a short time last session
may be given a seat further down the
line in the incoming Congress.

Political Gossip
Here and There
No Caucus Struggles.


Within one month Congress viii have
convened in extra session to struggle
with the questions the President may

pected that much time will be consumed
In perfecting the organization OF the

It the minority floor leadership. The
contest was chiefly between the Hon.

the Hon. Champ Clark OF Missouri. By
the end OF the session. however. it was
generally conceded that Mr.. williams
would be selected and nothing has oc-
CURED since that time TO cause any

Therefore, without doubt Mr.. Williams

is not unlikely that Mr.. Williams nomi-

LgnChinq Statistics.
The Truth About Lynching and Its
Causes.

Two or three conservative papers
have been gathering statistics on the
subject of lynehing ever since this
evil began to assume dangerous pro-
portions. From time to time they
haNc Published statements as to the
number of lynchings in the United
States, aud the reasons assigned there
for. The unfortunate result is that
these statements are often used only
in a garbled form, in connection witt
The tn quoque argument, and the IN
fammatory and extravaganza rhetoric
Of other writers, which is disProved
by them, goes still unchallenged.
Nothing is more common than to
hear that lynehing took place for
.the usual crime" This gives an i'm
preston that the majority of lynch
ings are induced by crimes against
women. But, manifestly, a crime Is
not usual" in this sense, unless it is
the occasion Of at least half the lie
gal performances in question.
Out of SO lynchings in 1896 80 were
4or assault. In 1897, out of 123, only
81 were for this crime. In 1895 it was
y out of 1O2; in 1899, 10 out of 20,
il 1900, IS out Of %. In thirteen
eases the cause assigned was grace
prejudice" and dad reputation, y
writing insulting letter." and giving
evidence were given as causes IN
other instances. In Arkansas, three
or four years ago, the teacher of d
negro school was warned to get out of
town, the reason given being that his
pupils should be in the cotton fields.
He was whipped for refusing to obey
the warning, and afterward hanged.
This case was reported in the local
paper. 1t viii not do to assume that
''the usual crime" which Is not usual,
Is proved by these statistics, is the
only cause Of lynching. especially
when it is noted that no very strong
evidence is required to single out a
victim for vengeance, IN the case of
an exasperating crime. and that the
probabilities are thus increased that
me real culprit remains alive to COM
init other crimes.

Columbian University.
Are the Professors or the Students the
Ruling Power7

The recent exclusion of a woman
from the privilege of taking the diplo-
matte course in Columbian University
suggests the query whether the facul-
ty or the body of students is supposed
to be the governing power of that IN
stitution 1t will be remembered that
The students made a vigorous protest
last June against the granting Of a de-
gree to the same woman against whom
they are now exerting their influence.
but IN that case the faculty declined
10 accede to their demands The rea-
son given for the former protest was
that the applicant was not qualified to
receive the degree. Apparently she is
the only student in the history of the
university to whom the faculty ever
contemplated giving such an unearned
honor; at any rate the students have
not found it necessary to forbid their
bestowing a degree on any man VINO
had passed examinations. The argu-
ment they now use against her is that
she will have no use for the diplo-
matte course, because women cannot
secure positions in the diplomatic SER
vice.
OF course, it Is reasonably certain
that all the men who take the course
will so into the diplomatic service,
but if any Of them should not. what
would happen? And what business IS
II of theirs whether the woman in
question uses the information gained
il this course Of study for practical
diplomacy or general culture7 In
fact, what business is it of theirs
whether she takes the course or not?
IL would, Of course. be absurd TO
suppose that these young gentlemen -
