MELVIL DEWEY OUSTED
FROM NEW YORK LIBRARY
PARTISAN IN LOCAL CONTEST is
DROPPED
Visitor Who Spoke to Club Women
Recently Now Has Serious
Troubles of His Own, for He Loses
Position Worth $4,000 a Year

Melvil Dewey, the well known libra
rian who espoused the cause of Miss
Jones in the late library squabble, is
no longer the head Of the New York
state library.
According to letters received in Los
Angeles yesterday, and information
forwarded to the Los Angeles public
library, the directors of the New York
state library removed him from office.
Various charges were made, according
TO these advices.
While returning from the National
Library congress in Portland Mr.. Dew
ey visited Los Angeles for a few days
while the feeling concerning the re-
moval Of Miss Jones was at its height.
He will be remembered as the speaker
who, when addressing the club women.
criticised the library board for, as he
expressed it, introducing politics into
the library. He further declared that
no library could be a success where
wires were pulled, and ended his adj
dress by offering Miss Jones a position.
$50 Melvil Dewey is down and out"
said man prominent in library affairs
last night. "He was the man who rallied
against politics in Libraries and
understand one of the chief charges
placed against him is doing politics in
the New York state library.
"Well, he loses a $4,000 job While
he is an able man, think his place can
easily be filled. His career has been
marked by political methods. In the
first place he attempted to drive the
Jews out of the public library and
started several agitations against them.
This eventually cost him the secre-
taryship of the state board of library
commissioners, a position of consider
able Importance in itself.
"IIis actions while in Los Angeles
were characteristic of the man. He
liked the limelight and chose every
opportunity to get in the public eye.
One result of this is that he is one of
the best librarians in America, but his
discharge is another"

THAT PERPLEXING MYSTERY

"It is stated good authority that ten per cent Of
all the people who visit Los Angeles and its vicinity
remain and become permanent residents"
So says the Oakland Tribune. But, turning from the
spectacle presented here, contemporary is moved
to say:
"There is no reason why the region lying around
San Francisco and San Pablo bays should not be vastly
prosperous than any part of Southern California
And further: I'VE have better climate and a vastly
greater commercial future"
But then the sad reflection that 1--WE have not
kept abreast of modern methods and have taken
on the modern mood"
1t is strangely illogical observation that there
is no reason" why the San Francisco and Oakland
neighborhood should not match Los Angeles and its
neighborhood in progress The fact which the Tribune
admits necessarily is based on cause and the back
wardness of the northern district must be truly amazing
the Tribune in view of the superior natural advan
tages claimed for its region.
The Oakland newspaper comes much &C
curae judgment of the question under consideration
when calls attention to the splendid electric railway
service dverging in nearly all directions from Los
Angeles. It says:
"In three years (as an example) the population of
Long Beach increased from two three thousand to
sixteen thousand and this increase due wholly to
the facilities for transportation strangers coming into
the country and witnessing the rapid growth Of Long
Beach cast their lot with the community and remained
what of Long Beach true of all the suburbs of
Los Angeles"
Undoubtedly the nterurban railway service has been
"the making" to great extent of the many thriving
cities and hereabout that have either sproued
afresh revived in recent years And also is
true that the reflex effect of building expanding in
suburban points is in the nourshment Los Angeles
derived from the suburbs stimulus for its mar
velous growth.
But what would the climate, the railroads and other
advantages amount TO in the upbuildng of Los An
geles and the development of it's neighborhood if the
people not of the stamp to grasp every progress
sive opportunity? There lies the greater secret of the
which northern observers try in vain to fathom
H-and it is very large and important If
Oakland enjoys a climate superior to that of Los
Angeles, the Tribune to think it needs only
the Los Angeles kind of push and snap in its people
to supply the electric railroads other accessories of
progress
