Who Are the People?

Those who ascend the steps of the
Carnegie Library and gaze attentive
~ at that white marble monument to
his generosity will see engraved on
those steps in big capitals,
A UNIVERSITY FOR THE PEOPLE.
The impression Of the public has
been that Mr.. Carnegie's libraries
have been established for "the
people" that Is, the honest, indus
trious, studious working folk who
cannot afford TO buy many books for
themselves. or to study in colleges.
But as things are. It is difficult TO
see how this particular class Of pa
irons is getting much benefit from
the Carnegie Library in Washing
ton. During the months of July and
August. when the department stores
and other business houses generally
close at one O'Clock on Saturdays,
the library also closes at that hour
time. On ordinary week days it is
open at ten in the morning, and stays
open until eight or nine in the even
ing.
The industrious workingman gets
through his work, az a rule, about
six BY the time he has gone home,
eaten hts evening meal, washed him
self, changed his clothes, and taken
the car TO the library, the library will
be closed. Possibly he may, with
haste, get there in time TO take out
a book, but he cannot use the read
ing-room at all.
II comes to this: that the work
ingman's wife and children can use
the library, in the daytime, that is,
for nobody is likely to turn out in the
evening to sit and read magazines

New York Primaries.

The effect of the New York Demo-
cratic primaries is not likely to be the
quick restoration of the harmony
which is so much required if Judge
Parker is going to make the show he
should in the city next November.
After a bitter fight between Tam
many Hall and Patrick McCarTen, the
Brooklyn boss, McCarren utterly van
quished the tiger in his district
AS a result McCarren will control
all of the Kings county delegates to
the Democratic State convention, and
he will be able to dictate nearly all
of the senatorial and assembly nom
nations. McCarren himself regards
the primaries as "a rebuke to the
Manhattan leaders, who sought to an
mex Kings county to Tammany Hall
and to dictate our policy in State aAd
national affairs"
OF course, McCarren's dear friend,
Charles H. Murphy, the leader of
Tammany Hall. is going to feel
pleased over the business and to CO.
operate with McCarren in the inter-
ests of the judge with the same zeal
that he has shown thus far in the
campaign. Verify the ways of Tom
Taggart and the blue-eyed Sheehan
are ways of unpleasantness and all
their paths are over the bOulders.

At LiaO-Yang.

In a position at Liao-Yang which
is said to give him the strategic ad-
vantage, General Kuropatkin has
chosen or been compelled to fight the
decisive battle which the Japanese
have been trying to force him into
for nearly three months
The action began early yesterday
morning and continued until night
fall. According to the accounts, mea-
ger of detail. thus far received. neith-
er side gained any material advan-
tage. The Russian line was some
nine miles in length, protecting the
city on the south and west The Jap
anese aim was to turn the Russians
right flank, and their attack was
chiefly against the enemy's center
and right. st. Petersburg reports that
the movement on the right was IN
successful, while Tokyo claims some
little advantage.
Enthusiastic correspondents are
calling this the greatest battle in his
tory-an exaggerated statement, of
course, for the greatness of battles is
by no means determined by the num-
Der of men who take part in them,
but by the effect that the battle has
on the destinies of the peoples en-
gagged. The effect Of this struggle at
LiaO-Yang is still to be learned.
However. if it is true that the
japanese have some 24O, 900 men en-
gagged, and the Russians from $50 900
TO 100000 (Which latter figure comes
from optimistic St. Petersburg), the
battle will rank among the greatest in
number of men engaged.
Gettysburg. for instance. was fought
between 10000 Union men, and $4,000
Confederates. The Allies had III 900
men at Waterloo, and the French 3d.
600. Sedan showed 100000 Germans
and 140, 900 French engaged. At Leip-
zig, fought October 10, 1913, the al
lies numbered 300, 900 and the French
1876 900.
The Washington times., 1904-08-31

great-grandmothers managed to travel
at all. The hair trunks one finds in
old-time attics are no bigger than a
modern valise. How did they ever
get clothes enough into those trunks
for the long visits it was then the
fashion to make? and why were those
trunks built so solidly that nothing
less than a trip-hammer would crack
them, while the modern traveller
starts out With a board contrivance
bought at bargain, and filled a third
of the way up with books and papers
and heavy things, and abuses the bag
gage man if the thing breaks in
transit?
The Washington times., 1904-08-31

for three-quarters of an hour; but
the working women and worhngmen
get no use of it at all
Moreover, the daily papers are not
to be found in The reading-room; the
man out of work cannot go there
and see what the news Of the day
may be, or look in the advertisement
columns for a job. An institution
more carefully planned to be utterly
useless to the poor workingman prob
ably does not exist in this country.
1t would be interesting 10 know
whether Mr.. Carnegie personally, or
the Washington managers, devised
this plan of Saturday and Sunday
closing. II is rather absurd to close
q library on Sunday anyway, but it
IS doubly absurd to keep one which
is announced to be "a university for
the people" shut tight on the only
day when the people have any leisure
10 make use of t.
is it supposed to be wicked to read
on Sunday, or only to read in a
library on Sunday? Is it feared that
the library and reading-rooms will
be made the scenes of wild debauch-
cry if the patrons are allowed to sit
there Sunday afternoon, instead of
staying in their boarding houses or
their homes. or going down the river
for recreation?
Mr. Carnegie has often told lis that
he started in life as a poor boy, earn
ing his own living. NewsbOys, CASH
boys, offlce-bOys and other youngsters
in that position in Washington can
not use the Carnegie reading-roum
for children, because it is not open
after five o'clock. In fact, if Mr..
Carnegie himself were a working
man in Washington today, he could
not get his nose inside his own
library. This IS quaint enough to
draw smiles from brass monkey.

The Baggage Car.

A complaint appears in a Philadel-
pbia paper about the alleged in
adequacy of the baggage service on
the American railway There is
probably room for Improvement. but
il is hardly true, as the complainant
charges, that the service now is worse
than It has ever been. It is asserted
that trunks are piled up in tiers on
baggage cars, instead of being spread
over the floor, and that baggage is
weighed instead of fits weight being
guessed at, and nothing over $50
pounds allowed.
AS for the weighing Of baggage, no
body ought to complain of that. If
the weight allowed is $50 pounds It is
foolish to kick because the baggage
man refuses to be deceived. AS TO
the piling of trunks In tiers, IL should
be remembered that many more Reo-
pie travel with trunks row than Bed
70 do so, and the trunks are as a rule
bigger and not so well made Thirty
years ago nobody expected to buy a
trunk for $2.49 and have IL stand a
two days railway journey; now, this
can actually be done. If the traveller
has good luck and the traffic happens
not to be very heavy. Thirty years
ago, also, nobody had immense
theatrical trunks such as are common
now, each one as big as q small house.
One wonders, IN fact, how our

Regarding the Union.

The Independent" In trying TO eX-
PLAN why the labor union fiourishes,
tells the story Of one Stein, work
man naturally individualistic, who did
not believe in unions, worked hard
at his trade, and finally was earning
81 a day, the highest wages paid for
his sort of work. At last, however, he
changed his views and joined union.
lone day he came home from WORK,
pale and trembling I've been dis
charged because my right hand trem-
bles. l have worked for the firm for
twenty-five years, and now am
thrown out like a WORKOUT tool, with
no more consideration than a cog n
a great machine. am only thirty
FIVE years OF age, and on the down
road
The union took the matter up. Stein
was reinstated, and for two years has
been giving entire satisfaction in his
old place. According to the indie
pendent" he now says:
The union has raised our wages 25
per cent. But that is the very least
it has done. 1t has reduced our out
put 25 per cent Formerly l would go
to work at o'clock, and by quarter
past seven would be covered with
sweat and would keep that up until
went home at night, often working
overtime. But the greatest gain of all
is the personal independence, the feel
ing of security and knowing that you
do not stand alone"
1t is much easier to see the faults in
labor unions than for some employ
ers to see the faults in their own sys-
TENS of dealing with their men, which
faults brought the labor unions into
existence. Perhaps if employers did
form the habit of considering their
personal responsibilities they might
be more successful in dealing with
conditions at present so vexing.
The first labor union was not or
ganized to coeree employers, but to
combat injustice. Self-preservation is
accounted the first law of nature, and
the labor union came into being as a
logical result of the operation of that
law. II employers, as a class, had Civ
en- their employees the same square
deal that the employers themselves
demand from the men with whom
they do business, the problem of the
labor union would not be before the
economic world today.
No evil can be eradicated without
first Graduating its cause. The pri-
NAL cause of the labor evil is individ-
ual selfshness and narrow-minded-
ness. This is manifested when en-
ployer and employee, meeting to ad-
just wages, fail TO drop the personal
equation and unite in an honest en-
deavor to ascertain what is fair for
both.
The labor problem will continue a
problem unsolved as long as the en-
ployer on his side tries to beat his
men down 10 the lowest possible
wage, while the employe on his side
conducts his campaign for a higher
wGEe in the Oriental fashion of asking
great deal more than he expects to
get in the hope that he may get lit
tie more than he ought to have.
