PROPRIETARY GOVERNMENT.

REPUBLIC is q "fom' Of government. Behind that form
"a can subsst q varied assortment of realities, some of which
4 = have other than their face value. One of the tasks Of politics
= TO discover the reality behind the mask. Justice kellogg has done
DE in his ruling requiring William Barnes jr' to answer questions
put to him in a legislative inquiry. at is a well known fact" says
be Justice, "of which judicial notice may very properly be taken, that
nnder latterday methods Of political organizations the actual rulers
AZ many political subdivisions are no. those who are nominaly hold
ng office, but those whose control over the political organization to
which the actual officers belong made their election or appointment
posshe" he recognizes that "a dominant leader can so exercise his
power a 10 obtain substantial peuniary benefit from the public
business by urging the officers over whom he has influence to award
hat public business to corporations in which he has an interest"
Let the public recognize that its real ruler is not the mayor or
gpvsrnor who nominslly exercises authority but the boss behind him,
md It will discern a spectacle alien to republican institutions. 1t is
the spectacle of a ruler conducting a variety of businesses with public
id but without public participation in profits. Through his proxies
- builds bridges and sells them to State or county or city. He also
makes and sells to them building material, paving material, fire en-
zines, office furniture, school books, public printing and supplies of
very kind.
This IL no other than one form Of state socialism, degenerate
arm in which tho public resources re administered for benefit Of
Esisr, not Of community. !: Is proprietary government. Egypt had
d under tho pyramid-bulding Pharaohs. The Congo had it under
leopold, who used state servants to collect dividends in his rubber
speculations. New York had it under the PATRONS. Proprietary
government is the reality behind the mask Of republican institutions

A LIBRARY FOR WOMEN.

A FEMINIST LIBRARY is to be founded by the Equal Fran
~ chse Society and 1.-TWO large %ground-aoor rooms set aside
. = for the filing Of everything dealing with the womans move
mmt It viii be hard to pack into two rooms all that shows woman
influencing man and asserting an equal place in affairs, for the wom-
sas movement rsmiAes widely.
The proposed library would have to house all the lore of mythol-
~ wherein ~goddesses, nymphs, naiada, undines and heroic maidens

mortal fortunes. II it dealt with Helen it would have to open its
shelves to literature Of the yellow peril" for according to Herodotus
re siege Of Troy was but a chapter in the agelong reaction Of East
npon West, Of Asia upon Europe. Semiramis incarnatcd Assyrian
pride and corruption. Dido's name preludes the contest between
Semitic and Graeco-Iatin for control of the Mediterranean. Shakes
psares Cleopatra symboizes the Orient revenging in luxury what it
had lost in war. Zenobia was the pioneer Of modern eugenics, Cor
nshs q classic protest against race suicide, Theodore the embodied
paradox Of Byzantine civilization.
II the library takes note Of Pope Joan, it must also of medieval
Christianity. It cannot treat Of Joan of Arc and Maintenon and
Pompadour and Du Barry and La Valiere and Corday without en-
bsscing the entire history of France, and reaching Napoleon's conclu-
zion that French history "must be in four volumes or a hundred.
rluding the whole story of Continental balance of power in the
eighteenth century. 1t cannot explain Boadicea and Elizabeth and
Bloody Mary and Anne and Victoria with less perspective than all
English history. What setting would suffice for China's Empress
Dowager that did not include Confucianism, the Tartar conouests and
civil service reform?
The fact is that while there is a "woman's page in the news.
papers, women overflow it. They have borne their share in the
worlds tasks and q truly feminist library would have to take all knowl-
edge for its province.
