DEMAND
FOR OPEN SHELVES IN DENVER
LIBRARY is BECOMING
WIDESPREAD.
Claim That Closed Shelves Deprive
Library Of One Of Its Most Enjoy
able Features and M%easurabIy
Checks the Growth Of Cultivation
Of Public Taste in Literature.

The demand for the institution in
the public library of what is known as
the open shelf system" has become
so widespread that the library direct
ors cannot afford to ignore it, says the
Denver Republican. They should not,
in any event, for if they do they de-
prive the patrons of the library of what
should be one of it's most enjoyable
features, INT measurable check the
growth and cultivation of public taste
in literature.
This statement may at first seem
somewhat sweeping, but a moments
consideration viii prove it's truth. The
person who reads the literary reviews
and who is well acquainted with the
subjects treated upon by various au-
thors can, perhaps, select from a cat
alogue a list of books which he desires
to read and be satisfied with the re-
suits. But take the case of the reader
whose knowledge of literature is linn
tied. He looks through the catalogue
and finds listed "Pickwick Papers," by
Charles Dickens. He the book
and, reading it is entertained by one of
the choicest specimens of humor and
sentiment in the English language. He
may return to the library, encouraged
by his success in choosing from the
catalogue, and for his next venture
select %"Ponkapog Papers," written by
Thomas Bailey Aldrich. In this in
stance he secures a volume OF short
essays, interesting and instructive,
but certainly greatly different from the
Dickens school of literature.
Given liberty to roam among the
bookshelves. he derives a knowledge
of books and authors which he can
acquire in no other way. He will dis
cover that the books written by the
authors of today, with whose names
he is not yet familiar, are quite as in
teresting as some of the works Of the
more established novelists. He will
learn to discriminate in a manne that
ne never could acquire from the study
Of titles in a catalogue.
The objection urged against the "op.
en- shelf system" is that a large num-
Der Of books are stolen and that the
loss to the library in this way is quite
severe. 1t would seem that with prop
er care some lei could be devised
to at least greatly minimize this loss
and at the same time give the patrons
of the library the privilege which they
once enjoyed.

Mrs. Andrew Miller has just receiv-
ed a letter from Mrs. Lydia Dunning,
widow Of the late William Dunning.
whose death at Waukesha, Wis, on
tho 18th was noted in these columns.
The letter Is dated at ~Scottsville.
Monroe county, New York, and con
tains the first new Of the death Of
Mr.. Dunning. Mrs. Dunning writes:
Il suppose you have heard Of Will
liam's death there through Damon
lodge, as they let the lodge know. l
should have written to you before this,
but l had to bring his remains to this
place to bury him in our family bury
ing ground. Wills nephew came from
Iowa and accompanied me to Scots
wolfe. But for him | fear | should "
have gotten here alone. We laid Mr..
Dunning in his grave yesterday, the
18th. and oh, no one knows how much
sorrow and sadness have come to me
lately. 1t is hard to tell. When we
returned from the cemetery we heard
of the death of a brother-in-law and he
will Re buried tomorrow. That makes
six deaths in the family in less than
six months.
"Mr. Dunning died so suddenly. He
went down town at Waukesha to or
der some coal IL sat down in the Of
ice of the coal company while the
order was being made up. The clerks
heard him make a strange noise and
went to him, when they found he was
gone, never to return. The physician
said it was apoplexy. We had his re-
mains embalmed and started east the
18th.
ct is all so sudden / can hardly
realize it yet, but l found good kind
friends that helped me. Mrs. Morgan,
my sister, inc to the funeral fifty
miles. She is quite poorly. She will
go home tomorrow, the 10th, and the
first of text week | shall go to her
place and stay with her until | can
make up my mind what to do.
Write as soo as you can. How l
wish | could see you and talk to you.
Love to all. In sorrow l send this"

Mr.. Houck, who was able to head them
eff, and held up two Of the men, whom
he compelled to 90 with him to the
ranch. where they were bound and
brought to this city.
They had succeeded in cutting out
five head of the best horses in the

TARIFF AND MONEY
II On~ Standard Ia Established, Why Not
the Other?

the Other?
Why should not the protective tariff
policy be as firmly and irrevoca bly,
established" as tie Democratic party
and it's candidate for the presidency
comedies the gold standard TO be?
The gold standard was advocated by
the Republican party, and on this issue
the country went Republican by an
overwhelming majority The question
Of tariff or free trade, and tariff reform
and revision, has been the issue In sew
eral national campaigns, and the peo-
pie by their votes decided finally that
the protective tariff principle should
prevail and that this country should be
recognized as favOring and supporting
protection and rot free trade. The
Democratic party was placed in power
and given the opportunity of demon
strating the fallacy of its free trade or
tariff for revenue-Only policy, and the
result was SO disastrous that the peO-
pie gladly returned to protection at the
first opportunity, and refused to Elk
PERTINENT WITH FREE SILVER.
The legislation by congress fixing the
gold standard was in accordance with
the demand of the people, as expressed
by their votes. They, the people, have
just as firmly expressed their prefer
ence for protection Neither currency
nor tariff legislation is so firmly enact
ed that the laws could not be changed
by congress if the people demanded
their revision, and the only reason that
the Democratic party is attempting to
make the tariff an issue in this cam
paign is that they hope the people have
forgotten their sad experience under
the Wilson-Gorman Democratic tariff
bill. After the votes are counted in
November, the Democrats will find
that the people who by their votes rule
this country consider the protective
policy as we'll as the gold standard
firmly and irreyocably established as
cardinal principles.
