Editors of The ADVOCATE:
Now that the merry go round, with its re-
fined music, has passed on (good speed to it
elsewhere, perhaps we may look TO another
educational influence, outside of the schools,
that will both attract and instruct our young
people of Westminster.
Among lis many objects of interest our
town is notably lacking in one thing with
which, in these days of enlightenment and
progress, we cannot well dispense, namely,
public library. / believe that an experiment
in this matter was once tried, and thought 10
have been failure, but probably experience
has shown many of us that an experiment
that fails does not necessarily fail forever.
ANY of us who have ever travelled through
New England must have noticed that an al
most invariable accompaniment of the vii
lage, town or city school is the public library.
And 1t is furthermore noticeable that this
same wise provision for the mental needs of
the people has often had a benefcent effect
upon their moral conditions. Their range of
thought being widened, the intellectual seems
to exercise corresponding influence over
the physical.
Now, | reckon that the Yankees are no
more entitled than we of Maryland to have
all the good things, and see no reason why,
after the money question is settled, we should
not begin to spend a little of our gold or sill
yer, as the case may be, on the founding of
so necessary an institution of learning as that
for which this letter pleads.
But New England has only set the ex-
ample; she is not alone in the practice. Three
years ago, in little town in Southwestern
Georgia, found to my surprise, small but
well-selected library open to the public-not
library of great expense to the community,
but, if my observations were correct, GER
tainly distinct influence for good in the
lives of the people. About the same time
discovered a similar library in one of the
towns lying among the Adirondack Noun
tains, in New York state. l doubt not that
others of your readers could add to my ex-
perence out oftheir own.
hope it is not vain expectation to look
forward TO the time when our own town will
have its public library, with its reading rooms,
its lecture halls and its generous patrons 1t
was not my good fortune to have ''grown up
in Westminster, but am growing up here,
and, if | cannot look back and testify to its
advance, ! may go forward into the future,
and prophesy success to the Westminster
public library. May we not hope to hear
from others upon this subject?

An Open Letter.

MEssRs. EDrToRs:-I wish to deny a state.
ment in your last issue "Finish the Work
You have been misinformed in regard to any
Republican leader in Carroll county securing
me the appointment of Deputy Game Warden.
You state by that distinguished Republican
Leader securing me the appointment, where
by, it was hoped Mr.. Prugh would vote for
the Rings Choice for School Examiner,
wish to say most emphatically that this is not
true; and further that Mr. Prugh knew moth
ing of my application, and nothing of my ap-
pointment, until informed by me on the 2lst
day of July, and he will make oath to that eff
feet if necessary. Further, do not owe my.
appointment to any Republican or Democrat
IN Carroll county, and if any Republican
Leader spoke word in my behalf, it was
without my knowledge and consent. If any
Republican in this county thinks he secured
the appointment, | can prove the contrary,
as | owe my position to popular men in Bal
timere City.
Trusting you may give this space in your
valuable paper, | remain yours respectfully,
W. CLINTON BRANDENBURG,
Deputy Game Warden, State of MARYLAND.
