THE LIBRARY CONTEST ENDED,

The Library to 60 to the Free Public
Library by Vote of Merchants.
When approached by the promoter
of the library contest scheme and
asked to lend it aid, we sized him up
as slick customer with scheme that
was to be very profitable to himself,
but being assured that it was so ar
ranged and hedged about as to be fair
to everybody, to help the me chants
of the town we went into the scheme.
We soon realized that we had secured
a gratuitous gold brick but lived up to
our agreement so far as we were able
The latter days of the contest re-
vealed remarkable laxity in moral
ethics on the part of some of the par
Elephants in the contest and willing
ness to acquiesce on the part of the
Contest Man. The final canvass of
the votes showed SO plainly the irreg-
ularity and fraud. on the part of some
of the contestants that the canvassers
declined.to be party to it. The mer-
chants interested were called together
and the situation explained to them
when it was decided to turn the libra
ry over to the Morristown Library and
Lyceum for The use of the public. 1t
is a 81 900 library all right but that is
mere bagatelle to the loss OF conf
dence in human nature growing out
of the matter.
