ELEVATlNG RESORT DOES NOT

The librarian of the public library
says the existence of that institu-
ton does not appear to be generally
known to the miners of the camp.
The absence of male patrons she
ascribes to the fact that there are
so many strangers here who have
not chance to become acquainted
and miss the opportunity Of indulg-
ing in quiet restful reading in their
leisure moments
Mrs. Moore the lady in charge Of
the library, wishes it understood that
all are welcome to the use of the

like to see the place crowded at all

may be mentioned the following
books:

A Hopeful Beginning for Reorganization.

Governor Glynn's nomination Of James NJ. Lynch
president OF the international Typographical Union
to be state Labor Commissioner is thoroughly cred
table. 1t proves that the Governor meant just
what he said when he declared that he would be no
factlonst" for Governor Sulzer selected Lynch for
this highly important office, and the sole reason for
the appointments not being confirmed at that time
was the state Of war existing between Sulzer and
Tammany. Mr.. Lynch, a labor man Of long service
and broad experience, was generally deemed to be
entirely worthy to head the reorganized Labor De
partment, with its greatly increased responsibilities
in the way Of safeguarding the lite and health of
factory workers. But political exigencies forbade
the placing OF a Sulzer apponte, however good in
office.
which the Governor feels assured of from the atti-
tude of organization leaders, indicates a change of
front 1t is to be hoped it indicates also recogni-
ton on the part Of the heads Of that organization
that the time has gone by when great state depart
ments can be used purely for political pap. But If
that be too optimistic, it is good thing for the
state that condition has come where men Of de-
cency and fitness for office be fairly sure Of con-
frmaton for the places to which they have been
appointed. Not in many years has the work OF the
state been so demoralized. Governor Glynn will he
doing good service If he can restore It to smooth
ness and efficiency.

Sir: May ask you 20 be kind enough

following:
| do not understand why at the mo-
ment am undergoing somewhat unen-
vidble notoriety in stage journalism, as L
have never given utterance TO the ex-
pressicns attributed to me concerning
either the New York theatres or the New
York public. In fact, ! cannot remember
having referred TO them recently In any
public lecture or press interview. L have
not had the pleasure of being much In
New York. but l have passed. three or
four very pleasant evenings I'm its the
aires listening to the work Of my fellow
craftsmen and should be loath TO be put
in a false position in their eyes.
have often said and still hold that II
is hard for any large modern city 10 be

cause Of the ugliness and inhumanity OF

Penalizins Motherhood.

Viewing motherhood dark, reprehensibe
thing, our Board Of Education could scarcely do
otherwise than deny pensions to teachers who fall
into this vicious way of life. The case reported
from Brooklyn is that of married teacher who
served the pension period Of twenty years, and
resigned with the prospect Of becoming mother
before her. Her application for a pension is said
to have been denied.
There really seems possibility of reasoning
with such muddle -headedness as our Board Of Edr-
cation displays on this whole subject. II is bent on
reforming society and regulating home, marriage
and the birth of children. The sooner it is abol-
ished and smaller, more expert body il substituted
the better Only then can expect to see the
question of the married school teacher treated on
