The past week has witnessed move

THE STATE LIBRARY.

The shameful condition IN which the
State Library is now situated, being
stored, IN more or less confusion, in
some Of the basement rooms of the
Capitol, the prey Of moths, dust and
dampness, appeals strongly to the mem
bers Of the Legislature for a prompt
and efficient remedy.
This condition was made the subject
Of very severe comment in the primary
campaign Of last year, and Secretary of
State Crawford came in for numerous
bitter criticisms because of it. That
the public realized the real facts in the
case, and acquitted the secretary of
personal blame, was evidenced by his
nomination for reelection; but the con-
dition remains deplorable, and no one
regrets 1t more than Secretary Craw-
ford, who Is powerless to correct it.
In his biennial report just submitted to
the Legislature (althOugh dated Deem
Der 81, 1901, the secretary says; I'm
my report Of two years ago, and in
numerous reports that have issued from
this office in previous years, attention
has been called TO the necessity for pre-
viding some suitable place for storing,
shelving and cataloguing these books, 80
as TO make them available for use; and
| now respectfully repeat 2 former re-
quest that some place in the Capitol
Building be designated where these
books may be kept, and that provision
be made for book cases or shelving for
their proper arrangement and protect
iOn."
The situation is just this: That many
thousands of valuable, costly, and some
very rare, books belonging 70 the State
are in imminent danger Of total loss,
or, at least, great and impar' BILE dam
age because the secretary, who is ex-
OficiO State Librarian, not only has no
place Of deposit for tn. same, but has
no assistant or clerical force to whom
he could assign the duty of sorting, ar
ranging cataloguing and caring for these
valuable books.
1t is not too much to hope that the
Legislature will look into this impOr-
tant matter. and afford such relief IA
may be possible and practical in the
prpmiSeg
