STATE LIBRARIAN MONTGOMERY
philadelphia Public Ledger

philadelphia Public Ledger
The idea held by some people that
a librarian is a person who sits in a
library and hands out books is a very
much mistaken one, as Thomas Lynch
Montgomery, the State librarian at
Harrisburg, will tell you very quickly
if you talk with this exiled Philadel-
phian about his work on the Hill. Not
that he minds his exile, since he is a
sort of universal Pennsylvania, as
well as a Philadelphian, and is al
home anywhere so long as 1t is within
the bounds of Ex-Governor Penny
packers, his sponsors, old domain.
I'VE are busy educating the whole
State" said Tom, land We are doing
it most systematically. For instance
we have 600 travelling libraries going
about, each containing fifty books, an6
, good books at that. People in the
country have a better taste in fiction
and a better grasp on literary matters
| than the folks who go to the city H.
braries. They want cultural works
! not agricultural; they get enough OF
the latter from Uncle Sans bulletins
And then the librarian went on tC
tell that, in addition to the library
$50, 900 lantern slides are annually
sent out to groups of people who form
Study Clubs throughout the State, ar
| ranged in series for easy lecturing
| while from the Museum, natural his
tory specimens are also loaned, the
| book, the slides and the specimens
forming a unique educational scheme
OF the liveliest character.
And this is only a small part of the
librarians duties.

the extremes to which femininity is
going in the matter of dress has much
to do with the encouragement of vice.
In this, too, he is not far from truth.
Most surely when men and women. as
nearly nude as the police will allow,
dance the tango on the Coney Island
peaches and other watering resorts;
and when clothes are worn for the
plain purpose of exhibiting and not
~concealing the form, it is about time
to call a halt.
me police can do it in the first in
stance; the women of the country
must do it in the second. Good peo-
pie should not dance Objectionable
dances nor wear Objectionable clothes,
unless they wish to bring themselves
into i~ll-repute and draw to them
selves the shafts of criticism that are
sure to follow such actions.

HIGH LIVING AND SAVING

= n a period of high cost of living like
the present it behooves every man
1 to look well to the purchasing power
of his dollar, not only as indicated
by market reports. but more particu-
larly the skill and wisdom with which
his dollars are expended. Over market
prices he has little, if any, control,
while the other is quite within his
province to regulate.
The dollar a mar spends should buy
its full measure of value; the dollar
he saves should earn its full measure
of interest.
The dollar of to-day can buy no more
than siXty-five cents bought ten years
ago. In other words, lac you placed
a dollar in the savings bank ten years
& and left it undisturbed you would
find, upon drawing it out to-day and
going to market, that even with its in
crease in value due to the working Of
compound interest it would be no more
effective in satisfying your wants than
was the original sum-. While it was
growing in size it was contracting in
its power to buy.
We are apt to get the notion that
thrift is merely the saving of money
and judge a mans thrift by the num-
Der and frequency of his visits to the
savings bank. forgetting that thrift is
just as much proved by the way a
dollar is spent as by the number of
dollars earned. Spending is, perhaps,
a finer art thar earning; for all can
earn, but few can spend wisely. Given
an equal income, some will live well
and prosper, while others will run into
debt. 1t is simply the knack of know
ing how, and when. and where, to
buy, and-haVing the cash to pay.
Witness the very poor. They are
p~roverbially thriftless, perhaps of ne
cessity in a good many cases.
Granted that a man is thrifty and
has a surplus at the weeks end, what
shall he do with it? Buy a lot in some
deserted section-a dollar down and a
dollar a week for fifty years? Listen
to the lure of the get-rich-quick scheme
and buy a 20 per cent. stock? Buy a
nous and stop paying rent. and begin
W NolIS NO. none OF tneSe-yel.
The pathway of thrift leads straight
to the savings bank, the building as
ISOLATION or the postal bank, fol-
therein is profit and safety.
The building association, savings
bank and the savings departments of
other sound banks were instituted for
the small saver. Their fundamental
purpose is to assemble the savings of
the masses. invest them wisely and
pay over a goodly share of the profits
by way of interest dividends to the
depositors. In such an institution he
is on safe ground. He cannot. as a
rule. go wrong. 1t is the beginning of
good things for every man who will
get the habit and keep it up.

TUESDAY EVENING. JULY Z
CUT OUT THE DISPUTES

~ IFFERENCES between con-
tractors and engineers are al
- ways Incidental to big public
undertakings, but these differ
ences are somewhat more frequent as
to certain parts of the public improve
ment work of Harrisburg than would
seem to be justified by conditions.
Public attention has been focused upon
the several important undertakings OF
this city for several years and the
development of the program of better
ment has been watched with increas-
ing interest year after year until now
every delay is more or less a subject
OF criticism, especially when the inter-
ruption is not based upon reasonable
grounds.
Thus far in the present season the
various projects have beer carried for
ward with more or less ginger, but
within the last few days another con-
~troversy has arisen over a section of
the river wall protective system. Ow-
ing to a slight change of the original
line for a few yards the operations on
the wall have been suspended at the
point in dispute. This is serious in
more ways than one. All the con-
ditions are ideal at the present time
for pushing ahead with h work
along the river and the forces having
been organized for the summer such
delays are always d~iscouraginE and
costly.
Contractors have certain rights
which should be maintained, as have
also the city authorities, but no dis
pute is so serious that a reasonable
basis of compromise cannot be
reached when all the facts are at
hand. The river front work should be
completed during the present season;
there is no excuse for prolonging it
into another year. There is all the
more reason on this account for avoid
ing as much as possible the delays
which always ensue when differences
of the sort indicated arise. There
ought to be a spirit of give and take
in all of this work and the people will
not be patient with those who are re-
~Eponsible in any degree for interfering
with an energetic prosecution of the
work.
Outside the public interest in thu
various undertakings there is a desire
to make the Fourth of July celebration
next year a dual demonstration In
honor of the day itself and as a car
nival marking the completion of the
first great program of public improve
ments.

Manifestly the supporters of ]. Ben
jamin Dimmick. who opposed Senator
Penrose for the nomination for United
States enator in the primary election,
believe that DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh
Is certain to be the next Governor. In
a statement Just issued 1t is shown that
DIR. Brumbaugh received a remarkably
heavy vote in all the counties which
Senator Penrose lost to MI. Dimmick.
In view of the fact that the Republican
nominee had never been before the peo-
pie for an elective office the t~remendou
vote which he received is an evidence
of his widespread popularity in every
section of the State.

PENNSYLVANIA CONGRESSMAN
[From the wilkes-Barre Record

From the Wilkes-Barre Record
The chairman of the Democratic
State committee states that there is
| excellent prospect of greatly increas-
ing the Democratic representation
from Pennsylvania in he next Con-
gress.
1t is a good thing to have faith. At
least 1t gives one encouragement to
| do his BEST. But 1t requires a good
deal of faith to see any definite pros
pect in the present tangled state of
affairs in Pennsylvania politics.
Under normal conditions 1t would
be a safe guess that the chairman is
all wrong. Citizens who voted the
Democratic ticket in 1912 to give the
party an opportunity to put it's
roseate theories into effect find that
the experiment has been a dismal
failure. Whether it is the tariff or
something else that has worked mis-
chief. they know that mischief has
been wrought. And it is customary to
blame the party in power. The vote
in the recent primaries indicates a
surprising increase of Republican
strength, and out of hat the Demo-
cratic chairman can take no consola-
ton. The sudden turn from prosperity
to industrial depression, from en-
ployment to Unemployment, is not
calculated to increase Democratic
chances in the next congressional
election.
