LIBRARY MAY BE CLOSED If ONE SUCH
BOOK Is FOUND.

There is another and still more trying out
come of this individual censorship By the mere
finding of one Objectionable book in any given
library the governor of the province in which
the book is found has the right not only TO con-
fscate that particular book, but may shut up the
entire library by reason Of the open display of
this one Objectionable volume. But times have
changed-and for the better in many wsys-and
the books have improved in the same ratio, and
to-day we have a very fair list from which to
make our choice. Then, too, we have the right
to protest against any ruling that We think preiu-
dieial TO our interests and this protest We may
take to the Supreme Court.

AGAINST the succession of a woman in Luxembourg.
so long at least as any male heir, however re-
mote, was to be found; and in consequence Adolf,
Duke of Nassau who had been deposed by Prus-
STA in 1866 for siding with Austria, was made
grand duke.
But the Salic law was bound TO be houted after
ALL Adolf died in 1905 and succeeded by his
son William, who in turn died in 1912, leaving not
a single male relative in any degree. Then the
Nassau family law took precedence over the Sslic
law It provided that in of the entire ex-
t.ncton of the male line the succession should so
to the female heir. Accordingly the Grant
Duchess Marie Adelaide, daughter of William. sue
oeeded. She the eldest of six sisters, and her
mother and grandmother and an aunt were living,
hut there was not a single male left in the family.
The little country has long been coveted By
both France and Germany with Germany enjoy
ing the favored position. Down TO its dismsntle-
ment in 1872, the great fortress Of Luxembourg,
ore of the famous Vauban's masterpieces, was
earrisoned by Prussans. Since that time the
country has been member of the German Gus
toms union. and its chief railroads have been
leased to the German government Tor a long
term Of years.
II is because Of this latter circumstance that
the German government assumed to have tho
right to transport its troops Luxembourg
territory. holding that since it leased the rail-
roads 1t had right to use them as il pleased.
The people of Luxembourg speak strange MKT
ure of the French and German languages. Prob
ably about half the words are French and half are
German. The strangest effect is produced by the
use Of French words in German arrangement, as,
for example, putting French verb at the very
end of a long sentence, is often done in Ger
many. The people are, however, intensely patri.
cite, and opposed TO being annexed to eithe.
France or Germany, their sntipathy being by far
the stronger toward the latter,
