NeU York Central Rescinds
Ticket Order.

The New York Central Railroad.
which recently posted an order with
the sanction of the Public Service Com
mission. requiring that the signatures
and photographs of all users of fifty
ride tickets be affixed to the ticket. has
rescinded the order, It was announced
yesterday. Dissatisfaction among pa
irons of the road who use this par
ticular kind of ticket resulted in so
many protests that the railroad com
pany applied to the Public Service Conn.,
mission to have the order set aside.
When application was made by the
company for the amendment of its
tariff so as to provide for photographs
on fifty ride tickets the Public Service
Commission was told that the company
hoped the plan would prevent scalp
ing in these tickets, as 1t already had
done in the case of Communication tickets.
The company will continue to require
the ''mugging" of daily commuters.
The resembling of the rule Is said to
have relieved the company's con-
ductors, no less than Its patrons,
They thought the rule was unwise and
feared It would result in endless an
noyance to passengers.

The Value of Librarians.

II HE student training class Of the District pub
lie library starts next week its seventeenth
year of service. Its purpose is to train young
women efficient LIBRARIANS Year by year the
library becomes OF greater importance in the life
of the community. As ts value increases greater
and greater demands made upon those in
charge OF its shelves. They must be courteous,
they must understand human nature they must be
familiar with great deal of intricate detail, they
must know the needs of the community and they
must know the history and contents OF books.
Tell me what reads and / will tell you
what sort of he is" This is an old adagc
and If it is true there few in closer touch with
the character of the populace than the librarian.
Her annual reports will form valuable mines OF
information for future historians OF the morals
and manners of the American peop'e during the
first quarter of the twentieth century.
Need of public library in the District is, of
course, less than is the in most American
communities because District people have always
at their command the of the Library of
Congress, the finest collection OF books in the
world. But the local institution performs a more
intimate service for the folks of Washington, for
government clerks, students and mechanics who
arc apt to be slightly in of the massive pillars
OF the national institution.
District residents have made valuable use Of
their own library. 1t has become one of those ne
ccssities OF life which absolutely essential but
whose importance is apt to be underestimate be-
cause it is free and always available Public IL
braries of the great boons of the twentieth
century. Their utility never is questioned. 1t is
difficult to realize that doubts ever have been cast
upon the value of free collection Of books avail
abe at all times to all people.
Yet less than half century ago such an in
stitution considered the extreme of Bolshevism
We have distinguished philosopher as Herbert
Spencer saying: 81 no more believe in free il
braries than l believe in free bakeries. People
should pay foE food for their brains well for
food for their stomachs"
Such is the irony of time. Probably no author
today is read in libraries and less in private
collections than this same Herbert Spencer. But
he in accord with much of the most respect
able thought of his time. .. s.-.
The times have changed indeed. And libraries
have changed with them. They will continue to
change and it is the duty Of the librarian to keep
the in accord with the other.

KiIlias The Colaen Ceesl.

A NEWS dispatch from New York states that
~ number Of actors and actresses will do
nate their services for performance at one Of the
principal theaters of the metropolis to raise funds
to fight prohibition. We never have heard Of so
plain case Of killing the goose which lays golden
eggs Prohibition may have injured some indus
tiles and some professionalism it has increased
greatly the number of theater attendants. 1t has
enabled proprietors to pay men and women in the
theatrical profession higher wages and give them
longer contracts And yet these very people who
have benefited would raise money to fight for the
repeal of the prohibition amendment. 1t seems un-
believable
Since prohibition the average has more
money with which to- buy theater tickets. He
needs recreation to replace that which he got
from guzzing beer and whisky and he finds it. we
learn from excellent authority, in the theater.
Before the saloons were closed the drinking
man had warm place to spend his evenings in
coHgenial company He would have considered
theater attendance as loss of tme-a pastime fit
only for "high-brows," women and children. Now
he things differently
Perhaps the actors and actresses think pro-
hibition unpopular Perhaps they think they them
selves will gain greater public esteem If they step
in the vanguard of the forces that striving to
overthrow the will of the American people But
they would do well to study the question rather
Cdrcluiiy OciOrc tncy make many raSn moves. we
have noticed that the average wet" joke does not
create much of a laugh today as it did.
We have noted that audiences do not respond so
heartily to stage suggestions that their personal
liberty" has been taken away from them by an
autocratic and unjust government.
The theatrical profession will do well to make
immediate about-face on the prohibition ques-
ton. Such move will elevate the stage greatly
in the public esteem. No better way could be sug
gested to blow away completely the lingering bits
OF unsavory atmosphere which float about the To-
gitimate theater. Besides it viii be profitable.
We understand clergyman fighting
against prohibition. We can understand physician
who stands foursquare against the dry law But
at complete loss to understand the actor,

Omnipotence every night and every morning that
