CENSORSHIP OF READING.

Mr.. Foulke's speech before the H.
brarians of the state at the Morrison
Reeves library on the disadvantages
of libraries, many have seemed
untactful. At the same time it is more
advantageous for the people in any
occupation to hear the things las 9TH
ers see them"
| His contention that discretion
should be used in the distribution of
books to the general public, and that
the public should not necessarily have
what it wants to read were well taken.
But, nevertheless, in actual practice in
a library of any size it would be next
to impossible to know the individuals
who compose the public we'll enough
to guage the effect of any book on that
public.
Not only that but books work in var
ious ways, as the proverbial meat for
one is poison for another" For in
stance the books of outdoor life and
treatises on the beauties of camping
written by Stewart Edward White are
regarded as beeing the most healthy
of literature and are recommended by
the chief librarians and critics in the
country as being suitable for the youth
of the land. Right here in Richmond
two years ago a young fellow after
reading these books, got such a love
for the forest lif1 that he forged a
check and skipped to Canada with
the money. He was brought back by
Superintendent Bailey and is still be-
hind the bars. No one could have fore
told that.
1t simply proves that no one can
pick out books for any one else.
In a country which believes more
than any other in free speech is it not
easy to see why the American people
believe in free reading?" AS a matter
OF fact the increase of the yellow
press" really indicates that there has
been growth in the reading public.
The matter works out in the end that
there is less harm in libraries which
do not makee forbidden fruit" of
things.
This country has recently witnessed
the circulation of thousands of copies
of a book simply because it was con-
demned.
In the end the censorship Of almost
anything does not attain the end in
view and merely increases the evil.
The Index of the Roman Church had
the contrary effect from what was in
tended and in the main people will
read what they want to dispite the
vigilance Of librarians or Antony Com
stock.

Behind the foregoing real estate

paper, is fine story of frugality.

serves it as long as she lives"
This is the story:
twenty-five years ago Rossga and
wife came to Chicago from the old
country. They wanted to bring VI
their children-ten were born to them
and earn a home in a free land.
Rossga began working on a railroad
at $1.15 per day, but did not get
steady work. Never in his life did the
man make over SIS per month
But the couple saved money.
Inside of five years time they
bought lot which cost $1,1O0, making
payment down. In another five
years they had paid for the lot and
We're able to start the building. 1t re-
CURED thirteen years to pay for the
fiat, three story brick building, with
six suits Of four rooms each, costing
$1,000. But when the building was
completed the thrifty people had a
home of their own, and the rentals
brought in an income enabling them
to pay out And that was fortunate
for shortly after the Rossgas moved
into their property the husband was
badly injured in the leg and was un-
able to work until he died.
A commonplace story of sordid de
tails?
1t is not commonplace, because It
is made beautiful by courage and
faithfulness and sacrifice.
Mind you, every foundation stone,
every stick Of timber. every brick.
every bod Of mortar, stands for the
frugal living and the weary toll and
devotion OF these struggling foreigners
Why retel the homely tale?
Because this generation needs the

owning $4,000 building, even at
the end of twenty-five years.

THE CIVIC LEAGUE,

Thoreport of the Civic League on
tho various candidates for office in
this.xicinity has defeated its own OBJ
eect- The report omitted reasons why
tho league was for and why it was
against certain men.
Thinking men must have reasons
other than the mere say so of any
bs3y Of men, as to the character and
Qualifications of candidates. The re-
fusal Of the league to give these rea-
Sons IS unfair. Wide publicity of the
dafs which led to their action is nee.
essary.
If the Civic league has any reason
for being, It is in letting the people
know the truth and then letting the
people decide for themselves. That is
the only way in which they can serve
the people. No man viii take the as
sertion of one man against the other,
unless he displays good argument to
support his statements.
Although the Civic league has de-
teated its own object-whatever that
may have been, it is as we'll to point
out now, that if the members of the
league do not come forward with the
proofs of what they say, they will
be liable to various charges of unfair.

A CHANGE.

No one can have failed to have seen
the decided symptoms of change in
the complexion OF state politics in the
last week or ten days. Formerly we
had the meek and mild, innocence
much injured Taggart, and the equally
innocuos Lieber and Fairbanks. But
this was too unusual to last. Finding
that the effect Of the game was in
their favor, they were not content to
let well enough alone. They assumed
the medieval role of fuedal barons.
They did a little debating and went
to work to organize and rub it into
those who have for law and against
graft.
Whatever the combine has gained
by those who felt some sympathy for
the humble and meek combine-it is
probable from the way the straws are
going that the people will resent the
action of Crawford Fairbanks, Albert
Lieber and T. Taggart to force their
opinions.
Nor were they misled by the posters
which insinuated that the intelligent
voter could not distinguish the differ
ence between county local option and
prohibition.
The fight against these men has not
beer on the question of drink, but
against the corruption and graft which
the bad element in the saloon business
has made prevalent in many commun-
tiles. The average man who takes a
drink does not care to tie up with men
of this character even if they do use
the bait of the artificial fay of deceit
about county local option meaning pro-
hibition
The change came when the brewers
unmasked and showed their game and
it has come to stay

and billiards in the new Y. M. C. A.
building and as to whether or not
minors shall be allowed to play the
games there, smacks too much of mar
row mindedness to appeal to the many
broad minded people of this commune
ty. What the objections are to pool
and billiards is hard to understand.
Why object to these two games and
not to chess and checkers? Why al
low any games at all in the Y. M. c..
A., instead Of singing out these two?
And why, if these games are proper
for Y. M. C. A., as many claim,
should not minors be permitted to
play them? Surely, if there is no
harm in grown-ups playing pool and
billiards under the proper surround
ings afforded by Y. M. C. A, then
the matter of age alone should not
make it wrong for minors to play
these games under the same condi-
lions.
Frankly, we are so much in the dark
regarding the logical conclusions of
those who are opposed to pool and bill
lizards at all in the Y. M. C. A. and of
those who believe that adults should
be allowed to play such games there,
but not minors, that we would appre-
ciate communications setting forth the
reasons for so believing.

Their Business In Life.

Does young wife know her power:
Does young husband remember that
he represents everything to her and
that her eyes ever turn toward him
And do both realize that in choosing
each other they have voluntarily shut
out forever any chance of happiness
from any other quarter? They musl
not let things slide; they must make
each other happy. 1t is the business
OF their life. The responsibility Of it
is enormous, the privileges of 1t meal
