Splendid Year Says
Librarians Report

The annual report of the librarian,
Miss Anne D. Swezey, to the directors
of the Public Library, for the year
1916, gives the following statistics:
During the year 1916, books and
pamphlets to the number of 1895 have
been added to the library. 1886 were
purchased, SO were gifts and 70 added
by binding.
Books that have been in families ex-
posed to contagious diseases are with
drawn. For books received from
families where there is ordinary sick
ness, fumigation is all that is neees-
sary.
During the year, 735 books were
withdrawn. o fthis number, 551 were
worn out, 50 were lost in circulation
and lit missing at inventory, burned
on account of contagious diseases and
five adult books withdrawn. 500 book s
were cleaned and mended during the
year.
The net gain of books for the year
was 600 and the present number of
books and pamphlets IS 1902. With
an estimated population of 1900 for
Salem, this means that the library has

A total of 53,202 books have been

appropriately left to the legislative
branch of the government, which alone
had authority to enact and may, if it
sees fit, amend the law"
In the dissenting opinion, written by
Justice McKenna and concurred in by
Chief Justice White and Justice Clarke,
it was argued that it is natural always
to resort for explanation of q law to its
first words. The transportation made
unlawful, it was said, was of ''woman
or girl to become prostitute or to
give herself up to debaucAery or to en-
gage in any other immersl practices. "
The intent of the white slave law, the
dissenting justice held, is to suppress
"the white slave traffic, commercial
vice or immortality having a mercenary
purpose"
That Representative Mann, in writing
the law said there was no intention to
interfere with the police powers of the
states, was another reason for holding
the law was not intended to cover non
commercial vice.
"The result" the opinion summed
up, "is grave and should give us
pause"

the reading habit fell down for 1914

up again in 1915 to 53,0os and for the
year 1916, the largest circulation in
the history of the library, 53,202.
Cards are good at the library four
years from date of issue. During the
year 1916, cards were issued to 1893.

the season of 19l6-1917 grand opera
