Public Library Open Sometimes.

THE Public Library of Washington will be
i closed Saturday afternoons for three
months 1t regularly closes Wednesday after
Moons at 3 o'clock. 1t closed Sunday and
Monday. 1t has restricted hours Sunday. 1t
is always closed holiday. In fact it to be
open only enthusiastically Washington has great
satisfaction in the reduction of its tax rate to I8
mills.
The reason the library is not open every day,
all day and all evening and Sunday for twelve
hours, is because it does not have the money with
which to pay the employees No far
know, has ever criticised the of the library
funds. No one has charged the misuse of
dollar No one has complained that this pub
lie service did not return dollar of value for each
dollar appropriated for it. But in no other city in
the United States is there a public library with
such restricted hours.
The library appropriations come from Con-
gress. But is the fault all there? Is not some of
it lodged in the people of Washington, those who
pay the taxes? If they showed the interest they
really have in the library would Congress be quite
as close-hsted as it has been? There two sides
to most stories and Congress is not wholly to
blame for what Washington does not have or get.
Once Louis Hill who succeeded his father in the
control of the Great Northern Railroad, said that
the Great Northern management quickest and
liked best to work and cooperate with those COM
munities OF that system, who were doing most for
themselves and took the most insstent interest in
their affairs OF recent years Washington has
found sympathetic attitude in Congress
toward its needs This has since the citizens
associations have begun to go to Congress directly
and not vicariously. 1t has come with more willing
pay their share of the taxes made necessary.
We inclined to believe that if the taxpayers
of Washington many of them nonresident
would take at least eye off the tax rate, they
would find sympathetic Congress. Certainly
there is other city where it is quite import
ant that the library be open Saturdays and the
| late afternoon hours. In other is Saturday af-
ternoon universal holiday, and does the close Of
work come generally around a o'clock. Con-
gress will know this if told. 1t will not think of il
| unless called to its attention.

unemployment there than in any other country OF
Europe There certainly is more economy, closer
living and greater thrift There is every promise
of an increased output per man, at wage larger
in the number of marks, but smaller in exchange
value than that of any industrial competitor
But the Germans have another great advantage.
They do not have to spend anything on e naval
establishment and support an army of but 100000
men as compared to 100000 before the war In the
prevar period the expenditures for the army and
nanny. as they appeared in the budget, were about
$35ooooooo Translated into the costs OF now, this
would be at least $soooooooo or the major part OF
the annual reparations payment. According to re-
port, Japans naval budget for the next year will be
$2soooo,ooo.
After all it may not be such marvel that Ger
many was able in the two years since the war to
accumulate her first payment and now to regularly
meet her notes Her apparent compacency may
have excellent basis of assurance. Also, she is
making the best possible preparation and is laying
the best possible foundation for her reparaton bond
issues. She may convince the international investors
that the bonds of very few governments have a
more substantial value, and be able in this way to
greatly shorten the period allowed for payments
After all the peace of the world as far as
bound up in German aggressiveness, may rest more
on the disarmament and military clauses OF the

Says Negroes Started Riots.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
After reading the many articles
on the Tulsa riot, the one by J.
Luther Martin seems to me to show
the hopeless and inevitable aptitude
of the negro for shiftless evsding
of responsibility.
How can one indulge in such fla
grant Misrepresentation as claim
ing to- know the affair was pre-
meditated and provoked by the
whites. when 1t has been clearly
established by reliable people and
reporters on the scene, that the
negroes were armed. while the
whites were unarmed?
The Rev. Mr. Martin made one
truthful statement, however. He
said the Almighty had set the
boundaries of the races. He is
right. He gave each their habitat.
Africa is the natural habitat of the
negro. Two facts were clearly set
forth in this riot, which the negroes
will do well to remember: This Is
a white mans country. founded and
esta ablished by white men; 1t must
of necessity remain so. If America
is to hold the torch that lights
the world" The other fact is just
as significant Who aided, fed and
clothed the negroes hunted and
driven out of Tulsa?
The white man has ever extended
the helping hand to the negro. tried
to help him to help himself. But
God, II seems, also gave each their
limitations in mentality, morality
and power. The negro is taking
the wrong road. led by his mis-
guided leaders. I have on my table
a magazine of the most incendiary
character, published by negroes
and sent boardcast over the land
reaching of course the ignorant
and criminally inclined of the race
and which must have its inevitable
influence for evil. To such cause:
may be directly traced riots and
crimes. Why does the government
permit the use of the mails fol
such literature? If the negro will
instead of chasing the chimeras oi
social equality and political pre-
ferment, cultivate character. right
eousness, morality and honor, HI
will be better off. Is it in him? NJ
one will deny him his place in thu
sun. He has some good traits ant

thing of himself.

Operating on Hot Air.

n REPRESENTATIVE UNDERHILL, of the
N District of Columbia Committee recently re-
marked in discussing street railway merger, that it
was not possible "to street railways on hot air
as you run Congress" Mr.. Underhill is IA
miar with the method and motive power used in
operating Congress than are. He is one of the
directors and belongs to the management
But he certainly has disqualified himself as an
expert witness to street railways. There few
street railways in this country that have not been
run on hot air quite as successfully as he testihes
as to Congress. For nearly twenty years the w.
R. & E. has hot-aired itself along the way, and has
even paid $35oo,ooo dividends on its common stock
which is not backed by dollar Of substance
1t has hot-aired itself as safe investment for
widows and orphans, and then has hot-aired the
District Committee as to the Districts duty to
adopt these its own. 1t has hot-aired dividends
for its railway stocks from the electric light and
power service the railway itself never having earned
dollar of dividends above what should have been
depreciation charge. Now it is trying to hot-air
Congress into allowing it to continue its hot-air
and not reduce its fares.
Mr.. Underhill may be expert as to Con-
gress, but he is evidently very naive and inno-
cent person as to street railways and their obga-
tons to the people In seeking and getting a fran
chise street railway assumes Obligations to the
people; it does not place obligations upon the
people.
