Getting Their Deserts.


 The New York World and the New York Journal are being excluded from public libraries and reading rooms all over the country. and these papers de- serve the rebuke they get. In the first place. as an exchange says, "they are eager to print anything that will make a sensational story, whether it be true or not. In the second place they pan- der to the immoral tastes of their read CTS by giving up large proportion of theIr pages to tales of lust and crime. These two characteristics debar them from the class of respectable and legitimate newspapers and will, if per sisted in, result in their downfall. Neither paper should be tolerated in a respectable household
