The Carnegie Library Idea.
Yesterday's ceremonies at the dedication
of the Public-Library building disclosed two
facts, first. that the whole nation Is inter
ested in the educational and architectural
development of Washington, the capital,
and second. that Mr. Carnegie. having given
the fund for the creation of the library's
heautiful central home, Is by no means dis
posed to permit his beneficence to rest at
this point, but stands ready to provide for
its branches as occasion arises.
The presence and words of President
Roosevelt at the functio- of dedication em
phasized the positioA qf Washington with
respect to the country at large. Here Is
centered the national spirit,~here it finds its
highest expression. here are brought to the
highest attainable point the American ideals
of municipal administration. Here, there
fore. it is gratifying to find arising such in
stitutions as the Public Library, the crea
tion of the communy- and the recipient of
the bounty of the cpuntry's greatest phil
anthropist. It was appropl'!ate to the occa
sion, thus nationalized, that Mr. Carnegie
should express his personal gratificaton at
the completeness with Which his donation
has been given physical form. Washing
ton deserves the best always, and it Is fit
ting that it has been enabled to evolve, out
of Mr. 'Carnegie's generosity, a circulating
library establishment which may be re
garded in its propoetions-and equipment as
the best.
It was distinctly demonstrated yesterday
that much remains to bb done to complete
the work of library making. if indeed that
work can ever be completed. There now
stands a beautiful book -house, fitted with
every facility for serving the people. There
are on its shelves a number of books whfeh,
compared with the store until recently
available locally, is large, but when com
pared with the needs of the community is
small. More books, therefore, are required
to make the most of Mr. Carnegie's gift,
and it may not be doubted that more books
will come, both from the public appropria
tions, of which the District will gladly pay
its share, and from private contributions
in books and in money.
Stress was laid in the acceptance of the
building yesterday upon this special. re
maining need of the library, donations to
meet which would, it was hoped, be forth
coming as a result of the example and in
spiration of Mr. Carnegie's gift.
"But the most urgent need of all is that
of special and endowed collections of books
and newspapers, to which the names of
donors may be attached, keeping them for
ever in the grateful remembrance of the
public. In the newspaper room of the Bos
ton Public Library the visitor immediately
on entering sees this inscription in gilt let
ters: '"The newspapers subscribed for are
the gift of Wm. C. Todd of Atkinson, N.
H.. who has put at the disposal of the
library a fund of $50.000 for that purpose."
In the other wing of this building, corre
sponding in size and arrangement to the
ha'l in which we are assembled, is the so
called newspaper and periodicals room,
ready to be s ocked and suitably equipped
for the benefli of the people of the capital.
Who, after the fashion of Wm. C. Todd of
New Hampshire, will attach his name to
this room and its useful contents in per
petual memorial? Who will similarly en
dow the children's library? Who will
honor himself by supplying with books 'of
permanent value and authority' a Bates
Hall for Washington, like that in the Bos
ton library?"
Now that Mr. Carnegie bas proclaimed
his position as purveyor of all the building
wants of the District in this matter of
libraries, there need be no anxiety on the
score of branch libraries. It was character
istic of him to demur to the idea that any
body else should poach upon his preserves.
He does nothing by halves. When he gives
a library to a city he gives all that a library
means, all that is needed to supply the
people of that city with reading matter as
far as housing facilities are concerned. If
branches are necessary, and the best libra
ry practice points directly to that neces
sity, then branches will be provided on a
scale commensurate with the centtal estab
lishment. As fast, therefore, as the Dis
trict expands its library and finds the
means to extend its usefulness to the sec
tions and thus to bring the books more di
recently to the hands of the people, these
branches will be built and equipped.
The Carnegie -idea in library giving is to
stimulate the people by furnishing them
with the foundations for their own enter
prize and incentives for their public spirit.
If a city, through these means, acquires the
reading habit, Mr. Carnegie's fondest hopes
aro realized, and it is evident from his
words in public and in private yesterday
that he will always meet quite half way
any community which evidences a proper
desire to grow Intellectually. Washington
hopes to realize the Carnegie ideal by such
a patronage of, and contribution to this
library that it w~ll rapidly grow to the
fulles6 proportions, and with its large cen
tral store and well-stocked branches place
the best of reading matter immediately
under the eyes of all classes of people.
It would be a relief to the popular mind
If the coal minors could be content with a
sagie holiday at Christmas time and lay off
for a few weeks when the Fourth of July
Mr. T~lin will never call on President
Roosevelt to arbitrate any of the poitical
troubles in his state.
The Snate's Coal Inquiry.
It has become evident that the people of
this District, in 'cdmmon perhaps with
those of .other places, harbor suspieions
that the coal supply is not being fakriy die
tribu ted. Letters from consumers to The
Star give expression to this suspiOn In
pointed terms. Conv'ersatiott of the people
on all ee indicates the further convic
tion that .the high priees now prevaising are
unwarranted in view of the guarantee of
the Reading catmpany, the largest singie
producer, that its coal will be sold to deal
oe at a rate permitting them to sell at re
tail for $7.25 a too. The retailers proclaim
their luarchase of coal- from "indivIdual'
operators at rates which compel them 'to
sell at 512 a toit and' ev'en hiigher. But the
people know that.,Reading sal .is coming
into Washington in considerable quantities,
and they fet'aii se e the lofluence of 'this
coal, at the prescribed rates, upon the gen
eral market.
Therefore, it is most gratifying that the
Senate, as one branch of the' ocal legisla
tuins is to take up this question and hnves
tigate the Whole subjeet of the prewafiing
prices through its Distelet commiittee. That
inquiry, beginning today, should result
benaclily evetrtro'ugh its own fue of

ready to furnish the neessary capital it
will doubtless prove effective in ai Wakt4e
leving the situation.
The public must not expect that stcb-an
inquiry will Immediately icause the coal
prices to fall to the general, level of 'lie
Reading rates. It must not be fergoten
that the Reading coal Is only a part of that
shipped to Washington and Is far from suf
ficient to meet the local demand. There
fore. there will remain a market for the coal
of the Independents, even should the local
dealers* be required by publicity and the
pressure of the Reading corporation to sell
at the proper rate all of the coal received
from that source, or failing that should the
municipal coal yard sell Reading fuel at
cost. But with #ie three-score of Reading
cars of coal entering daily and selling at
7.25 there will be far less opening for the
higher priced coal from the independents.
and there will be less chance for overeharg
ir.g on the ground of the shortage of Read
ing coal, as now alleged. -
The Senate committee, through Its sub
committee, will be able to reach the bottom
facts of the traffic. The Commissioners'
committee of citizens found itself hampered
by a lack of legal power and by business
embarrassments necessarily involved. There
should be no question today, on the eve of
the Inquiry, as to the completeness of the
disclosure of facts. It should be possible
for the subcommittee to ascertain precisely
what amounts of Reading coal are being
and have been received here atnd what
amounts of coal have been sold at the Read
ing rates. Furthermore, incidental ques
tions arise as to the fairness with wb'ch
this supply of cheap coal Is distribufed
among the retailers who have signed the
October scale, as to the rapidity with which
the coal is unloaded and delivered and the
enterprise of the merchants in-the employ
ment of unusual facilities for meeting the
pressing emergency. As long as the Read
ing company abides by Its agreement to sell
at Its October rates and furnishes Wash
ington with its fifty or sixty cars a day, as
promised to the citizens' conmittee, It
should be possible to reduce considerably
the average rate which the consumers now
pay for their fuel.
The "Lily Whites" and Tudianola.
Can It be that this Indianola outbreak is
a result of the "Lily White" movement in
the south? -
The Inhabitants of Indianola had long
been accustomed to a negro postmaster.
Mrs. Cox had filled the office under the
Harrison administration, and so well that
when Mr. McKinleiy came In she was again
appointed. No charges -had been made
against her personal character. Her bonds
men were white men and democrats. Every
thing was running along smoothly, as
usual, when, suddenly, a few weeks ago, a
meeting of citizens was held and the retire
ment of Mrs. Cox from her ofice demanded.
She was addressed In the curtest terms and
In a sensational manner.
Why this demand? If Mrs. Cox had but
just been appointed and 'in succession to a
white person it might be explained on the
ground of race prejudice suddenly aroused.
Or If she bad permitted her office to run
down and the service to the citizens to be
come unsa.tisfactory, that would explain it.
Or If she had ceased to conduct herself so
as to merit the respect of the community,
that would justify it. But the administra
tion of the office had continued satisfactory,
the woman's personal walk had continued
above reproach, and her white Indorsers
had continued on her bond.
She was a negro, and that fact suffieed.
'the white people of a town who had been
receiving thelr mail for years from the
hands of.a negro woman decided that they
would no longer tolerate -her in office, and
they gave her notice to quit. Influenced by
the movement which shows that there are
republicans in the south as well es demo
crats who are against admitting negroes to
any share in citizenship and Its rewards?
What more ikely? How ready the reason
Ing that now wee the time to reopen the
race question and press it home all along
the line! Why not put the President to the
extreme test, and add as much as possible
to the embarrassments of the republicans
north and south?
Well, the President is not Marinking from
the test. The "IAly Whites" are advised of
how much opposed he Is to their attitude
on the race question, and of bow little
headway they are likely to make If federal
office enters to any considerable extent into
their easculatlons. He Is' standing firmly
by fte traditikn of his party, and by con
vicions etich he himself has long enter
tained.
Hoprins of Illinois.
The -election to the Senate of Mr. Hop
kins of Illinois Is now assured. This Is a
triumph for the plan of instructing for
senator by. state conventIon. The Illinois
republicans, It will be remembered,' In
state convention indorsed -Mr. Hopkins for
senator, and the campaign before the pen
ple was waged with that action as a part
of the republican program. Still, Mr.
Mason, who aspired to succeed himself in
the Senate, challenged the selection and
sought to defeat it. Mr. Hopkins is a man
of ability and an experienced legislator,
and his transfer to the Senate will operate
as well to the interests of Illinois as to
those of the country at large. He will con
tinue In the upper house the usefulness he
has exhibited, In the lower house of Con
gress, and thus repeat In the former body
the success he has achieved in the latter.
It is pleasant to note that preparations to
send distinguished visitors from. Germany
to America are being made just as if no
such thing as the .Monroe doctrine ever
existed.

The Diuisy EIw.
Mr. Dingley is quoted as making- the fol
lowing statement in private conversation at
the time the tariff bill which bears his
name was preparing:
"We are purposelyr making them too
high, because we want them as a basts
which will enable us to offer foreign coun
tries merial inducements to enter into re
ciprocal relations with us. When other

the situation then and now in terms that

was "nothing doing" in the business world.
Now It is almost impossible to-supply what
the markefs at home and abroad are de
manding. No such profits were ever
reaped before, and the great tide shows no
signs of turning.
The Dingley law, as we see, then, was
drafted for conditdone which needed stimu
lation. Protection was the remedy, and
the remedy was applied. The country In
dorsed the treatument In the election of a
republican House In 189, In the re-election

republican House last November. The

"Well," answered Farmer Corntossel, "we

hang on than to- turn the office over to some
one that would come In fresh and hungry."
