SOME of the library boards of the
eastern cities are setting themselves
up as censors and are issuing DEGREES
that this book and that book shall not
be read by a certain class of people.
and presume to act as the. judges of the
intellectual appetite of the public. The
library board of New York city has
just declared that "Uncle Toms Cabin"
shall not be read by the children, as it
is too stirring and startling and then,
too, it recalls to mind the things that
led up to the great civil war. The
members of the New York library
board should 60 and soak their heads
to use more or less vulgar expression
which is certainly justified. Why
don't the board throw out the bible be-
cause it shows man what an awful sim
ner he is, and cast aside as naught the
beautiful lessons it teaches. Uncle
Toms Cabin has come to stay and has
taken it's place among the immortal
things of literature and it will require
more than the actions of library board
to shelve the book.

The dismissal of Superintendent
Machen of the free rural delivery di-

the turning over of free rural matters
to Fourth Assistant Postmaster Bristow
who is not an enthusiast in the extern

There is said to be no more available
funds for the rural service and no more
routes will be opened for short time
at least. Bristow believes in not being
too hasty in crowding out the country

rural service has been extended faster
than actual conditions would warrant.

IN amending the ordinance defining
the fire limits the council should go
slow and have always in mind the fu-
ture and not the present. It is hard to
always adjust and provide for the oper-
alton of village ordinances and deter
mine in what respect they should be
amended to suit individual cases. The
council has already made two amend
ments to the fire ordinance and permit
ted the erection of wooden buildings
that we're prohibited by the ordinance
in certain territory. Where the i'm
provements, though of a frame nature.
do not increase the fire risks, perhaps
the amendments can work no injury or
jeopardize property, but let us all bear
in mind and beware the village
has to-day no fire department., that we
have allowed it to die and become al
most as extinct as antediluvian animals.
and now if we continue to abolish re-
strictions here and there as provided
by our fire ordinance the time is COM
ing when we will be sure to regret our
actions We want to do everything we
can to encourage the growth and de-
velopment of the village, but at the
same time to protect and guard it
against fires. After Princeton was
scourged by fire the village set to work
to rebuild and the citizens threw safe
guard around the business portion of
the town by enacting a fire ordinance,
and a fire department was organized
and encouraged. We have had no &C.
casion for fire department nor for a
fire ordinance, it would seem for some
time, but history always repeats ITSELF
A frame shed here and there has crept
into the territory where it has been re-
stricted and prospects seem good for a
lumber yard being located in some of
the territory which has just been taken
from the fire limits. It is far better to
thew to the line and let the chips fall
where they may' than to take steps
that we will regret in years to come. .~s
