Black Lists Of Book Thieves.

A committee on book thieves appointed
by the New York Library club has made
4 report recommending the preparation
and exchange of black-lists. The neces-
sity for such action is painfully urgent,
and the reasonable benefits are self-evi-
dent. The most disgraceful as il is the
most singular, feature OF these prospective
black lists is that they will contain the
names of prominent and wealthy citizens
women AS well as men-rather than the
obscure and those unable to CRAFTY their
literary tastes in a legitimate way.
The fact that such lists are in the hands
Of every librarian, together with descrip-
tiOns Of the class Of books which suffer at
the hands Of the individual klepto biblio-
maniac, supplemented with the names of
suspected thieves, and that duplicate lists
are exchanged between all the public
libraries, will doubtless have an excellent
effect. The fear of exposure and public
ity will save hundreds of books annually:
in fact, each blacklist will do duty as an
able and generally efficient policeman for
the library where it is in use-Frank Les
