' Because the summer Saturday half

Mend It to the whole year. News

' Possibly that's the reason the able
retary's "incentive to work" calls him

want to work harder when he gets back.
Or, again, lie may want hla vacation ex

Just now constitute tho fetish
to which Democratic slelght-or-nana
nrtlsts bow tho knee. These prestldlga
tfttors would have us think of the West as
tho pot of gold at the end of tho rainbow.
In which will bo found all tho electoral
votes tho other side of the Allcghenlcs
labeled "Wilson."
Divide the country into thrco parts.
Give Mr. Hughes the Northeast, about
140 electoral votes. Mr. Wilson tho
Solid South and all Ita trimmings, nbout
170. Then turn to tho West. Give Mr.
Wilson nil the little State's little In pop
ulation though Impressive on tho map
about forty. That gives him 210. This
generous helping, by the way, hands him
Utah, which tho Democrats concede, nnd
several others which aro certainly He
publican; but figures nro so tricky that
It Is belter to deal with them wholesalo
than retail. Let them go in a bunch to
balance New York. Kor to say, as Is being
tald. "The East may be for Hughes, but
tho Went li for Wilson." is to concede
New York, Mr. Hughes's home State, or
else it Is to concede nothtne.
Bo we have narrowed the magic
"West" to Its nlno largo and two medium
sized States. Tho only way to "get a
line" on them Is to estimate the possible
turnover of Progiesslvo votes to Wilson,
and to consider tho best Democratic but
conservative reports. Polls and other
surfaco Indications Indicate a possible
twenty per cent Wilson gain from tho
Progtcsslvcs. Certainly thirty or forty
per cont Is more than tho most optimistic
Democrat could dream of. If Wilson gets
thirty per cent of tho Hoosevelt vote In
Illinois he still will fall to carry tho
State, which has been solidly antl-Dem-ocmtlc
fdnco tho Civil War, excepting
the landslide of 1802. In Michigan Wil
son would have to get moro than fifty
per cent of tho Roosevelt vote, for he
felt behind both his opponents In 1912
there. Iowa nnd Kansas aro Immovably
fixed for Republicanism, according to the
pro-Wilson but always fair New York
Evening Post. Its correspondent speaks
of "the Republican habit." Minnesota
Is also in tho thirty per cent, Washing
ton In the forty per cent category. Thus
far, in the meaty section of tho Western
vote, tho count Is eighty-four for Hughes,
with sevonty-thrce loft to nccount for.
Nebraska Is In tho balance, perhaps will
bo Democratic. Wisconsin seems safely
Republican.
There remain California, Ohio and In-
mafia. The figures in the first appar
ently favor tho Democrats overwhelm
ingly. They were: Wilson, 283,436; Rooso-'
vclt, 283.010; Taft, 3911. On this basis
only a handful of Progressives would
have to voto for Wilson to glvo him Cal
ifornia. Uut "Progressive"' In California
means Hiram Johnson, and that fighting
Governor Is running for the Senate and
supporting Hughes. His election is con
ceded' by such a lnrga majority that it
Is hardly conceivable that the State wllf
not awing back to Its old Republican al
legiance. Indiana Is nlways clarsed as
doubtful, though It has not given a Dem
ocratic majority since 1892.
Granting the Democrats tho rosiest
view of It they desire, they yet must see
a "solid West" fall to pieces on analysis.
Thero Is not the slightest Indication that
thirty or forty per cent of tho Roosevelt
voto will go to Wilson. If ten per cent
of It does It will bo remarkable enough,
In view of tho starul of tho former Pro
gresslvo leaders. Still the Democrats
cling to the notion that Ohio will como
over to them. They concede tho probable
olectlon nf tho Republican State ticket.
Tho Stato has been Republican for fifty
years. It would take moro than fifteen
per cent gain from tho Roosevelt voto to
glvo Wilson tho State. The-struggle Is
close. But It is not so clone as it seemed
at this time In tho Bryan-McIClnley cam
paign of 1890. In October then Ohio
seemed suro for ltrynn.
Hut even the vote of Ohio, Indiana and
Nebraska, nddod to tho 210 possible Wil
son votes, would not elect htm.

PAY OF CITY LIBRARIANS
To the Killlor of the Evening Ledger:
- Sir Wo have road at length tho rea
sons for nnd against the trainmen's In
creased basis of pay; wo havn moralized
ove tho problem of department-store
wages; nonio of us hnvo met tho Increasing
demands of trado unions and we have sym
pathized v.Hh tho school teachers In their
efforts to secure larger sainr cs; out an
of us seem to have overlooked tho case of
the librarians of the city's library system.
Tho neglect would ba marked enough If
the women no employed could be classed
as unskilled labor, for the Increased cost
of living would Justify nt least an Inquiry
Into tho relation of their salaries to tho
cost of prcsent-dny existence But It It
not unskilled labor. Tho training nnd edu
cation required of a woman remaining In
the frco llbrnry cannot be much lers tech
n'cal than the studies and practice required
In tho case of school teachers. If education
in tho schools of -today does Indeed lay a
foundation for culture In tho mind nf tho
pupil, libraries in ght bo loolted upon as
continuation schools, lasting throughout
our lives.
The possible Influence of librarians In the
selection of rending; the'r direction and
guidance In tho matter of research and ref
erence work, nnd their responsibility In
the way of censoring tho reading matter
given the public cannot be held lightly, It
is a position that requires w!d reading di
plomacy nnd nn unfailing fund of good hu
mor, for tho public, IU:e an Individual. Is
mora exacting In a sen Ice that Is frco than
It Is '.n one for which money Is paid out of
hand.
It seems less thnn Just, therefore, for
those who aro patrons of tho Tree Llbrnry,
nmi who realize in our own llvei tha In
creasingly dimeult buslners of existing, to
say nothing nnd to do less for a class of
women who. becaupo of no definite or
gan zatlou. cannot pressnt their cite to
the proper authorities, and who are, In con
soquence, given no consldcintlon .by thosa
men by whose hands tho city's finances aro
directed.
it In a splendid thing for the city to
build a magnificent I brary on tho Parkway,
but It Is on unfeeling act to give no thought
to the private needs and pleasures of the II
bror'aus of the rressnt. Nono of us Is al
truistic onqugh to enjoy piously a strait
ened I fo today thnt the next generation,
Mhleh forguta even our names, may gasp In
admiration at the marble glories and the

Wo live In today and It Is In today that
w have derived benefit from access to the
books of tho freo 1 brary! have been cour
teously treated and have been Intelligently
assisted In the search for special volumes.
It Is the gratitude full for such treatment,
met with over a length of years that has
prompted this letter, and If It can arouse
a like fooling In others It may help to bring
n belated cons deration, and a reward that
will act as a copcreto token of our good
will and obligation.
