Committee,
The Democrat regards the move.
ment for the establishment of y Free
Library as one of the most important
movements in the history of our city.
The terms upon which it is rendered
are eminently fair. The liberal sub
scription to the library fund and the
generous offer of the Woman's Club
will obviate the necessity of asking
the city to contribute anything to-
wards the support of the library for
at least two years. Accepting and
maintaining the library for the city,
as contemplated by the laws of the
state, would more positively mark its
character as a public institution, in the
privileges and benefits Of which every
resident of the city young or old, rich
or poor, is entitled to share. The
Democrat sincerely hopes that the
council will accept the library. We
believe that the effort put forward thus
far, in the direction of the establish
ment of a public library and reading
room, is but the beginning of the
nobler work which is to follow.

notorious Hayward case. 1t is a
case of woman against woman. Two
women were living together and
claimed to be sisters, and one is
charged with numbering the other to

kins was the victim, and Mrs. Perkins
is the victim now in the strong arms
of the law. Minneapolis is a great

The Pilgrims Progress.

A little more than two hund red
years ago there died in England a
man noted for piety, for firm yet or
derby resistance to ecclesiastical ty-
ranny, and as a leader of his sect.
That he is remembered now is not
due to these things, but to the fact
that he wrote a book called ''The
Pilgrims progress" The historian
Macaulay pays him this tribute:
"Bred tinker, and afterwards sol
der, his education was that of me-
chanic. He knew no language but
the English as spoken by common
people. He had studied no model of
composition but the English transla-
ton of the Bible. His spelling was
bad. He frequently broke the rules
of grammar. For more than cen
fury, The Pilgrims Progress,
though translated into several for
eign tongues, was known only to cot
ters and artisans. At length critics
inquired where lay the secret of SO
wide and durable popularity, and
were compelled to own the despised |
book as really a masterpiece. Bun
yam is as decidedly the first of allie
gorists as Demosthenes is the first of |
orators, or Shakespeare the first of |
poets. Other allegorists have shown
equal ingenuity, but no other ale
gorist has been able to touch the
heart, and make distractions objects
of terror, pity and love-" Buny an's
book deals with a spiritual pilgrim,
but we are also pilgrims in a material
sense. In our travels through this
world we can generally make it easier
for ourselves, as we'll as get to our
destinations more quickly, by taking
the main travelled road, which, in the
great North and Central West, is the
Burlington Route. For tickets,
maps, rates and information about
these lines, call on your home ticket
