Senator Tillman's characterization
of Senator Beveridge as "grasshop-
per" reminds the Boston Herald of Ed
mund Burke's eloquent observations
upon that insect. Said Burke: BE
cause half dozen grasshoppers under
a fern make the field ring with their
importunate chink while thousands of
great cattle repose beneath the SHADE
of the oak, chew the cud and are silent,
pray do not imagine that those who
make the noise are the only inhabitants
of the field, or that, after all, they are
other than the little shriveled, meager
hopping, though loud and troublesome,
insects of the hour"

1t was brought to Mr.. Carnegie's at
tention recently that nearly all of the
free libraries reported the majority of
the books taken from them were of
the class of light fiction-novels and
certain ephemeraI works the value of
which was questionable. Discussing
the matter before the Authors Club in
New York the other evening Mr.. Car
negie gave it as his opinion that it
might be we'll for public libraries to
buy no works of fiction that were not
at least one year old. Within that
time. he said, public opinion would have
determined which were good works and
which worthless. Herbert Putnam,
librarian of the Congressional Library,
agrees with Mr.. Carnegie that no work
of fiction less than a year of age
should find it's way into a public
library Several other librarians who
were seen by the New York Tribune
with respect to the matter said they
had noted a falling off in the demand
for novels during the past year.
