NOVELS FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
Advisability Of Putting New Romances
on the Shelves.

From the New York Tribune.
Librarians are seriously discussing the
new novel question Some Of them, in
cluding the head Of the Library of Con-
gress, advocate the application to fiction of
Emerson's rule regarding books in general,
and would place no new novel on their
shelves until year after publication. BY
this method they would save money, since
the popular craze for book rarely lasts
for a twelvemonth, and-what is more i'm
portant-they would be relieved Of the re-
sponsibility, however innocently incurred,
Of having purveyed worthless literature to
their patrons.
Whether this view Of the situation will
command enough support to secure con-
certed action for its general adoption 1t Is
too early to predict. Certainly Mr.. Put
nam's position (now reinforced by Mr..
Carnegie. who may be supposed to know
something about Hbraries) invites the COM
mendation Of the judicious. Putting aside
the question Of the good or harm done by
the indiscriminate devouring Of the latest
novels as they come in shoals from the
press, the librarian takes the ground that
the primary function Of a public library is
the instruction Of the public (the term in
cluding the forming Of It's taste), and that
for mere amusement the reader should look
elsewhere. The item Of expense, too, Is not
to be disregarded II the demands for the
books OF the moment are to be met with
anything approaching promptness. the IL
brarian in large city must purchase from
ten to twenty copies OF each popular sue
cess. to find most Of them junk at the end
Of the year; whereas the money thus spent
might have been invested In standard
works or new books Of acknowledged value
which would have been a permanent addi-
ton to the library. 1t may be urged that
the librarian should read all the new flc-
ton, sitting the chaff from the wheat, but
sober second thought will surely reject
such proposition as 'cruel and unusual"

THOMAS JEFFERsoN's PORTRAIT
Distributed Freely in tho Public
Schools Of Porto Rico.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The Jefferson Club has been advised of
the receipt in Porto Rico Of several hun
dred Autographs Of Thomas Jefferson which
were mailed from st. Louis about a month
ago. They are being distributed among the
schools. where the young idea is taught to
shoot. not at Spaniards. but for real Ameri-
can citizenship-the kind that knows and
appreciates. President Hawes Of the JEFF
ferson Club. when asked why the associa-
ton had gone to the expense and trouble of
sending the Autographs. said:
1.-THE Porto Ricans are now part and par
Gel Of the citizenship Of this country.
After centuries Of political bondage they
are to be given q taste Of the sweets Of po-
litical liberty. Thomas Jefferson, among
all the great American statesmen, stands
at the very front rank as an advocate of
human liberty. The Declaration Of Inde-
majestic dntellect, has formed the frame
work upon which all peoples seeking lib
erty since its adoption have builded their
own declarations Of political principles.
The school children Of Porto Rico, under
the tutelage OF good American school
marms. will hear and read much about
Jefferson and his works. They will also
be advised Of the fact that he was the first
democrat and founder Of that party. Our
club members believed that It would in
crease the interest Of the youth Of Porto
Rico in Jefferson to have q likeness OF him
before them In the school room. It should
early set them on the correct political path
and make them all good democrats"

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
HArNING, Chekiang.
I have seen the greatest wonder of
China. / might almost say the greatest
wonder of the world 1t is the fight between
the waters of the ocean and those of the
land which takes place here at every
tide. when the mighty Pacific, rearing its
snow white head to height of many feet
comes galloping up the Bay of Hangchow
In vain attempt to conquer the Tsingtang
river, which there meets it and is lost in its
waters.
] saw the struggle standing on the
wall which the Chinese have here built to
keep back the ocean. This wall is as high
as three-story house. 1t is built of gran
lite, the stones in places being bound
together with iron, and it runs from here
all the way along the coast to the mouth
of the Yangtse Kiang. 1t is thirty feet high
and more than one hundred miles long and
1t is only one of the mighty creations of
the Chinese in their struggle with nature.
We make much of the fight of Holland
with the waves. The fight of the Chinese
Is far more wonderful. You could drop
Holland amongst the vast regions of the
lower Yangtse Valley and you would have
to hunt to find 1t. This whole country is
system of dykes and canals. / travelled up
the Yangtse river for LEGO miles and found
enormous embankments everywhere along
it's course l walked on the banks OF water
ways forty feet above the lands, the tops of
such embankments forming the roads and
paths of the country. The great silk dis
trict about Haining Is OF a similar nature.
Every farm lies below the level of the
canal and everywhere the people are dredg-
ing out the waterways and building up
walls. The canals are crossed by hundreds
of bridges, some of enormous size and of
great beauty. and all representing vast
amount of money and work.

Won Gerhardt, the popular Prus-

Economical research by propos-
ing a calendar reform that in
wolves the division of the year
into ten months-five consisting
of thirty-six days and five of
thlrtyseveu days and making
March the first month.
The idea rests on a philologic-
al basis, Won Gerhardt arguing
that the derivation of September,
October, November and Decem
ber demands that they be made
respectively the seventh, eighth
ninth and tenth months.
"If," says Won Gerhardt, "Our
Babylonian inheritance, the pres
ent system. cannot be shelved,
the world should at least return
to the ancient German system OF
naming the months according to
agricultural conditions, such as
the Hay month-July."

POLYGAMY STILL EXISTS
Salt Lake Ministers Say That II IS Taught
and PractIced.

SALT LAKE, Utah. Feb. 12-
The Ministerisi Alliance of Salt
Lake has unanimously adopted
the report of the committee ap-
pointed TO investigate the report
on the alleged practice and teach
ing of polygamy by the Mormons
at the present. This report isto
be used as a petition for the pas
sage of constitutional amend
ment prohibiting polygamy and
will be sent to the judiciary CON-
mittees of Congress. The re-
port. which is quite lengthy, sets
forth that positive evidence can
be produced that polygamy is
both practiced and taught by the
Mormons at the present time N
open defiance of the laws of the
State. The document contains
numerous statements alleged to
have been made by Mormon
leaders IN which the practice and
teachings of polygamy is advo-
Gated and urged, regardless of
man made laws to the contrary
The document is the outgrowth
of numerous meetings of the
alliance, resulting several months
ago in the appointment of a
committee to investigate thor.
oughly the reports of continued
practice of polygamy, such evi-
dence to be used IN the campaign
for a constitutional amendment
against polygamy. The minis
ters assert that the evidence is
in such shape that it could be
produced as evidence in court il
it became necessary to do so.

ness, and said he hoped he would

Emperor William and Prince
Henry have sent personal mes
sages to President Roosevelt.
The first impulse of Prince Henry
was to postpone his trip, or give
it up altogether. He was ad-
vised, however, not to make this
decision, but to bear in mind that
his visit was not a personal one
to President Roosevelt, but to
the United States; that while a
fatal ending of young Roosevelt's
illness would limit the presidents
part in the hospitalities to a
strictly official basis, the balance
of'the program could be carried

A. Douglas was killed Monday
night at his home in Lyndon by

Douglas was a witness in the his
toric Armstrong murder trial in
Illinois, when William Armstrong
was cleared by Abraham Lincoln.
Douglas swore at the trial that
he saw young Armstrong strike
the fatal blow, saying that the
moon was bright at the time. Mr..
Lincoln then procured an old al
manac as bis only witness, by
which he proved that there was
no moon on the night in question.

cent. Western division, $780,
1890, 1919 per cent; 109O-19OO.
o6 per cent.
These figures show that in
four of the five divisions, all ex-
cept the North Central, the in
crease in population was more
widespread and general in the
last decade than it was between
1880 and 1890. If the North Cen
trail division be divided into two
parts at the Mississippi river,
the percent of area in the eastern
part showing a loss of popula-
ton fell from 209 IN the earlier
to 12.1 in the later decade. On
the contrary IN the western north
central the per cent rose from
10 in the earlier to 22.5 in the
later decade.
Further analysis shows that a
gain of population in the last
decade was reported from every
county in Minnesota and North
Dakota and every county but one
in Iowa. In South Dakota, Ne
braska and Kansas, on the con-
trary there were large areas,
mostly in the western part and
sparsely settled, tor which a de-
crease was reported.
The tide of migration in 1890
had pushed up the slopes of the
great plains farther than condi-
tions warranted, and in the last
decade the wave has been reced-
ing, depicting these areas and
filling up the rural counties of
of such states of Iowa and Illi-
nOiS.
