The Newark ssSunday Pharisee'' and
Our Free Library.

We are Indebted to Mr.. George Wat
son Cole. Librarian of our Free Public
Library. for his able and interesting re-
ply to the article in the latest issue of
the Newark Sunday Pharisee," which
was copied in yesterdays News" The
stupidity which is characteristic of
the eholfer- than-thou" individual per-
vades every portion of the attack upon
the Jersey City Library and its work.
Mr.. Cole exposes the ignorance of the
ment on which all the Calls"
ments are based.
There Is only one phase of Mr.. Coles
letter to which we object. We think he
fails to do Justice to our library in con-
senting. even for a moment. to have any
books upon its shelves styled trash. A
careful review of its catalogue fails to
disclose any works which are not to
some extent read by persons even of the
highest cultivation. There is a large
group of juvenile books. From the adult
point of view. they may be in a sense
trash; but they are the mental food that
Is used in the best families and by the
best educators in the country. Louise
Aleott and Oliver Optic may seem vapid
and silly to the mind of fifty years, but
every one who has ever been a child-a
real child-must look back to the time
when these books were an inexhaustible
fund of joy. not only with pleasure but
and the opening out of the literary sense
which they developed.
1t is, of course, untrue that there is
anything like dine novel or story paper
trash in our public library. Mrs. Henry
Wood and Charlotte NJ. Braeme, Gus
tave Almard and Captain Mayne Ried
represent about the lowest level to be
found on Its shelves. And who has not
read one or more OF these authors with
pleasure, il not with profit? 1t is quite
true that they a " no serious place
In literature and that directly they
offer little or no element of education;
but their enormous and long continued
vogue shows that they supply a real
want Of the reading public, and an at
tempt to exclude them would be some
thing like an effort to prohibit the sale
Of candy because it is not strictly by
gienic.
The other aspects Of the controversy.
Including the use OF standard" works
by the readers OF our library. are so
thoroughly dealt With BY Mr.. Cole that
application is unnecessary

THAT REGIMENTAL KICK.
Senator Timnle Unjustly Censured by
Some.


One would think from the nature OF
the kick which is being made by the
survivors of the Twenty fourth Wis
Iconsin regiment on the Senator Timme
resolutions concerning the monuments
to be placed on the battlefield of Chick
amauga, that not many of them had
ever. seen any Of the actual fighting at
the front This is, however, a charge
which can never lie at the door OF that
regiment. 1t took part in many active
engagements and did Wisconsin's name
some of its proudest honors. It is this
fact which lends to its kick all the
greater yigor; and it is this same fact
which ought to make the surviving
members of that brave regiment all the
more ashamed at the attack which has
been made.
To tell the whole of this story, il will
be necessary to commence with the
fact that Senator Timme first intro
duced the bill calling for the appro-
priation of $25, 1000 for these monu-
ments. The bill met some very strong
and determined opposition. Senator
Timme had to work long and arduous-
" to get the bill through. He finally
succeeded through his practically I'M
aided efforts. IF for no other reason
than this, the fact that the appropria-
ton is made and the work is to be done
ought to silence the carping criticism
of the brave soldier. Instead OF that,
however, the man who makes all this
possible is kicked for it.
Then Gov. Upham appointed him OH
the commission. AS father and pro-
moter of the bill, what could have been
more of q graceful act to him? But
that isn't all. Chickamauga was the
battlefield where Senator Tlmme
left his arm. That alone ought
to be a sufficient pledge of his right
to place on that commission. But
that is not all.
A member of the Twenty fourth Wis
consin regiment writes the following
statement about the Chickamauga
matter:
Considerable kicking is being done
by the members of the Twenty fourth
because no one from this regiment has
been appointed on that commission.
Now / have it from pretty good author
ity that Senator Timme wrote to sever
al members Of the Twenty-fourth and
received no reply. He concluded that
they did not care to be represented. SO
far he did his duty. | claim that the
blame rests wholly on the Twenty
fourth association. At our last camp
fire a year ago a resolution was intro
duced and adopted appointing a COM
mittee to visit Madison during this
present legislature and if possible have
an appropriation made for the purpose
of placing monuments to locate the
different positions held by regiments
| from this state The chairman OF that
committee was in Madison this winter
| in the interest of the Milwaukee Gas
Light company, but not one word could
he say for the Twenty-fourth or any
other regiment and now they are kick
ing. Boys, lay the blame where it be-
longs, on that committee.
The boys who wore the blue and who
now live in Kenosha and know Senator
Timme do not believe him to be a
scoundrel who would displace a man
who rightfully had place on that COM
mission. He has done all in his power
to see the right thing done, and
soldiers who love the right are standing
by him.
