The Library OF Congress is moving

Librarian Herbert Putnam
First and second place are held by
the BibliOtheque Rationale and the
British Museum, but the rate OF in
crease indicates that these two Euro
oean institutions will soon be left be
hind by the American library.
The librarian declares II a mistake
to believe that the. bulk of the addi-
tions are due to copyright deposits
From 1905 to 1910. only $3.50 addi-
lions were OF this nature, in total Of
425.925 Only those copyright books
which have substantial value and lit

But Not Needed.

While approaching the value of a

not md one absolutely necessary.
Today he visited engine company No

SUPERIOR ASSEMBLY,
THRUSTS At SECOND
CLASS MAIL RAISE

Superior, Wis, Feb. 4.-The Trades
and Labor assembly has taken shot
at the proposed national legislation
to raise the second-class mail rate.
The assembly has adopted a set of
resolutions on the subject. The reso-
luton:
Whereas, President Taft, in his re-
cent message to congress, calls the
attention of the people to a deficit in
the postoffice department during the
past year of millions of dollars, and
Whereas, he claims this deficit IS
due to the cheap postage on second
class mail matter, such as magazines,
newspapers and all periodicals., rec
ommending that postage rates on this
class of mail matter be raised from
three to four times the present rate,
and, ">. &, -
; Whereas, this would practically kill
all labor journals and all periodicals
depending upon individual subscrip-
tons, and,
Whereas, our government pays the
railroads 9 cents per pound for sec~-
ond-class matter, while the express
companies pay the railroads but "
cent per pound for the same class,
therefore, be it
Resolved: that we condemn in UNI
measured terms the business ability
and methods of the men at the head
of our government who pay the rail-
road 'monopolies eighteen times more
than the express companies pay for
the same service, the only difference
being in the names "mail'' and Eek

Resolved, that we a condemn any
suggestion or legislation tending to
increase the postage rate on second
class matter; and, be it further. III. f..
Resolved that we demand that the
president advocate " cent per
