FACTS o BOOKS.

A canvass Of publishers discloses that
there were 1855 books published in Amer
lea last year.
Placed lengthwise this number of books
would stretch a mile. One above an
other they would make q column e55 feet
in height. assuming that they averaged
an incl in thickness They would more
than fill a library forty feet long by
twenty feet wide. having its walls lined
with five shelves. To read them at the
owner more than twenty-one years. at the
end Of which TIME he would be either a
fit subject for an asylum or a fit editor
for the answers-to-correspondents depart
ment.
Obviously. it has been impossible for the
reviewer to read and carefully review each
of the 7,S65 volumes within the year.
Twenty-one reviewers. proceeding at the
rate Of n q day. would scarcely have
accomplished the task. A few books.
therefore. remain to be noticed this year.
But 1t should be borne in mind that the
publishers now are even exceeding the
rate for last year. and that this year
there will probably be. say 10000 new
books offered to the public. Upon the
whole. 1t IS reasonable to conclude that a
few Of our modern publications viii be
sighted.
1t is interesting to observe that the
population Of the United States Is less
than 100. 600, 900. and that of this number
10000 are accepted authors, and proba-
bly, 10000 more have manuscripts rapidly

Of every zoos you see is an author at
least in spirit. When you consider. too.
that every woman is a critic, and, at
least. every other man. it brings an ad-
ditional edifying sense Of the literary
character Of our population. Seriously,
though. 1t is good to observe the Ameri-
leans love OF books. This means that We
are a nation not without imagination.
Imagination means the possession of
ideals. and a nation with ideals cannot
retrograde. but must develop and improve
in the face Of any condition. A sober

South to democratic conditions in our
Southern States: and the industrial. edu-
cational and political problems are treated
as phases Of the essential movement to-
wards n genuinely democratic order.
Mr.. Murphy assumes no representative

authoritative interpreter Of Southern

THE Present South offers no dogmatio

Murphy's language upon this very ques-

else. a key to the spirit and tenor OF his
book and an indication of the high in

he: "The great problems OF life are new

MISTAKE CORRECTED.
Error in Report of Indictment
Returned by the Grand Jury.

In its account Of the partial report
made by the Grand Jury to Judge Nc
Donald's division Of the Circuit Court last
Honda The Republic on Tuesday an
nounced that Sergeant John Costello Of
the Tenth District and William J. Shee-
han. a deputy constable in Judge Kleibers
Court. were indicted on charges of inter
feriDg with voters.
The Grand Jury did return an indict-
,ment In which 1t named William J.. Shee-
a as the defendant and The Republic was
informed. 9nd the fact appears to be. that
the only man of that precise name In
the city IS the constable in Justice Klei-
bers court. 1t develops. however, that
the man intended by the Grand Jury was
William J. Sheahan, who. while his name
sounds the same. spells it differently and
Is an entirely different invididual, in no
way connected with the constable.
The publication in The Republic as to
the indictment itself, so far as 1t re-
lated to William ]. s~heehan. was erro-
neous. and The Republic in justice to
him hastens to make correction as soon
as it has been informed Of the mistake.
