President Elect Wilson requested
Democratic simplicity of the Jeffer-
sonian brand in his Inauguration, and
the committees promised to comply SO
Ear as lay in their power. But when a
quarter Of a million people go to their
capital city to see a show Democratic
simplicity is not as simple as 1t sounds.
There are all those that want to parade
and all the others that want to see
them do It and all the due and ancient
forms to be followed, so that when
the committees had got through and
had cut down each function to its ir-
reducible minimum they were about
where they were before. If Mr.. Jeffer-
son were to see this latest example of
simplicity called after his honored
name he would flee in terror. In his
day Washington was a muddy and
straggly country village and the whole
country had about 100000 inhabitants.
There were no railroads, no million
aires. no trusts, no high inanciers, no
telegraphs, no movies, nc telephones,
few snobs and no billion dollar appro-
priat1ons.

Another Spark Of War.

High Prices for Books.
From the New York World.


There is probably no lover of books
who, having the means, would not be
glad to possess treasures of the library
which have won additional interest from
association with great names 1t is not
surprising that Jean Grolier's copy of
Ovid's "Heroidum Epistolae, with Gro
liers arms and sdevice, should have
brought several hundred dollars at an
auction sale in this city last Thursday, or
that record price should have been paid
for the first collected edition of the
"Poetical and Dramatic Works of Oliver
Goldsmith, or that letter of Garrick' S
should fetch S112.
Yet such prices have little to do with
literature proper Many man who pos
sesses cheap copies of these auction items
Of editions the bibliophile would despise
than the man who simply has to draw a
check for whatever pleases his fancy.
Lord Rosebery, in a recent address in
Scotland, defined the function of books
as threefold to furnish information re
quired in the professions. to furnish lit
erature and to furnish recreation. De
Quincy classified books as pertaining to
the literature of knowledge and the liter
ature of power. In neither sense, except
from the esthetic pleasures of owner
ship of famous volume, can the high
prices of rare books in recent years be
justified. They are chiefly due to an erup-
ton of the lords of the checkbook into
the world of books where they have found
profit. The great Hoe library, which has
now been practically dispersed, is said
to have cost only about $4,000. while it
brought at auction nearly S2,001,0o0.
With such an Illustration of the rising
value of rare books. there need be no
wonder at the high prices some of these
volumes command.
