JERSEY CITY SCORES ONE
Our Library Has Books for tn Q
Blind and Newark Is Just
Talking of 1t.

An agitation which shows how far be-
the Newark Library is has been
begun in Newark. Books for blind
readers are to be placed in the
Newark Free Public Library if there is
sufficient demand for them by readers
of that type.
In Detroit and in the New York State
Library at Albany as well as in Jersey
City such departments already exist,
while the Congressional Library has quite
/ comprehensive collection of books and
music for those who cannot read ordin-
airy type.
I'VE want to ascertain if there are
blind persons enough who care to read
such books before we make the expert
ment" said Librarian Hill yesterday,
and those blind people who see that we
intend providing the books he added
facetiously, have only to send their
names and addresses to the library, so
we may know what the demand is
There is much more varied collection
of reading matter for the blind than the
average person would suppose Such
writers as Cervantes, Defoe, Goldsmith
Bulwer, Hawthorne, Thomas Nelson
Page, and Scott are represented in fic-
tion; New Tales of American History
by Senator Lodge and Theodore Roose-
welt, and the poetry Of Holmes, Whittier,
Lowell and Moore are also among the
books for blind readers.
Scientific writings by Tyndall Proctor
and Charles Nordhoff are also printed,
while Ruskin, Emerson, Macauley. Addi-
son, Bunyan, Homer, Virgil Dante and
Swedenborg offer variety sufficient to
tempt the most fastidious.
Music is also printed, comprising the
compositions of Handel, Chopin, Mendels-
sohn, Schubert and Beethoven.
The blind pavilion in the library of Con-
gress has been visited by 81, 600 persons in
dts short existence. and nearly 1.000 were
blind readers. 1t is considered efninently
successful.
The New York State Library has also
been success in its department. for
blind readers, and has received the heartv
cooperation of other libraries having had
experience in that direction.
There are several styles of type used for
the blind, but the preferred is the New
York point as being less cumbersome and
simpler in every way
The Jersey City Library has an extern
sive collection Of books FOR the blind
which are IN constant use,

Champ Clark was sent to Congress. TO
keep the country straight,
And he tles IN the good old way. AmeTi-

BY holding to the simple faith from which
our greatness grew.
He thinks it's wrong for us to govern
other folk by force.
1t threa' ems our own liberties to tread an
Empires course;
"I'd like to leave nv children free and
rich alike" says he,
"But if must choose between the two,
Id rather leave 'em free!"
Say-that's our fathers doctrine. we
never should forget.
And we're in danger, sure as fate, if we
don't hold it yet.
G I'D is splendid thing to have. none Of
us may deny,
But liberty is the finest thing beneath
sweet heavens sky!
Hold to it fast with old Champ Clark;
let others hold it, too;
II you deny its boon to them, twill be
denied to you.
To leave your children free and rich
may not your fortune be,
Bat if you choose between the two-for
Gods sake, leave 'em free!
