EDMUND LESTER PEARSON
In Defense of Library Censorshin

m May comment on your statement In
he Tribune of October % TO the effect
tnat 1T is unfortunate that any one in
a. place should have the r.,ht to say.
his IS book which YOU uuts not
read. After all. the business
o. q pubic library is not to promote
lnofallty, but 10 promote reading"
Inc refusal of public library to
nave certain books on its shelves is not
tantamount to saying you must moi
read them. They are merely books
winch the library committee, represent.
ing the people, considers lnappropri-
ate.
The United States being founded on
moral principles, Il seems proper that
an public institutions maintained bv
public funds should have the mora
welfare Of its citizens in mind. and
therefore the business Of public
library is rot simply. to promote read
iNg, but 10 promote such reading a.
WlI benefit. or at least not injure. the
morals OF the people In other words.
reading IN itself IS not benefit TO the
public, and book should not be given
room IN public library just because
1t is d boob
1t would take too long to discuss all
the aspects Of TINS subject have no.,
Yet read "The Moon and SiXpence," so
do not know whether | would aprre
with those who have excluded il. But
1t gives me a feeling OF greater secu-
rity 70 know that tho public library
committee does not accept all books
even II 1t occasionally deprives "A few
OF reading, without cost, a book which
after all would not be harmful even to
the rising generation. For one such
omission ] imagine a score or more are
omitted which would be injurious in
their influence upon the young people
who have free access 10 the public
lIbraries
am not ono of those who believe
that the American Constitution or any
other worthy institution is in danger !
exposed to criticism. But | do think
any institution is IN danger when those
Who profess to believe in it allow such
criticism TO be scattered broadcas {
without protest. The library cor +
hardly preface questionable books with
statement that the Bbfinciolcs or ideas
therein are contrary TO the principles
or IDEAS OF the American people, an /
rs our public libraries arc largely pa
tronlzed by the rising generation OF .
large foreign population. who viii have
much TO do with forming the character
OF our country IN the future, # seems
20 me 1t behooves Us to be careful what
books we invite them 70 read with our
implied approval. 1t is better cor the
committee to draw the line too tightly
than too loosely. and TO exclude one or
two harmless books than 60 include
even one which openly or insidiously
undermnes faith IN and LOYALTY 10
those high standards OF living which
are the foundation stones Of our be
loved country.
Needless to say, enjoy YOUR col
umn immensely, and these comments
are made in the friendlest spirit

U. G. Girls Win Out

Union College girls were In high
fettle last week when they met two
good teams in the basketball arena
and laid them both low. Friday
night they disposed of Cumberland
by score of 81 VS.. 20 In favor of
Union College.
On Saturday they met the Sue
Bennett. London, team and as both
teams had one game each to It's cred
it, they played a game that was all
ginger, both sides occasionally using
the strong arm elinch. When smoke
of battle had rolled away, the score
stood 23 VS.. 10 in favor of Union.
Our girls look like 'pennant winners
and feel like 1t when they tackle any
other college.
The wet floor brought several Of

St. Johns Episcopal school

We have within the confines OF
Knox County, an institution which
has done great work in the past and
will do greater work in the future.
Sc. Johns Episcopal School. while
practically part of Corbin, is also
part of our own county.
! The object of the school is the
education of the children from the
mountain districts in useful, Christ
ian citizenship and 1t can be positive
ly stated that 1t is succeeding admir-
ably In fulfilling it's purpose. This
year, as with most schools. the work
has been considerably hampered by
the influenza. 1t is hoped, however,
that the attendance the coming year
will be greater than ever.
The pupils. like the rest of the
people of this section, are of fine old
Anglo-Saxon stock with excellent
brains which need only to be trained
to enable them to swell the ranks
of the illustrious men and women
who have made Kentucky famous
for It's contribution to the good citi-
genship OF the nation.
The school is the life work Of
Ven. Archdeacon Wentworth, who
has fostered the work for years.

the Episcopal Church, a successful

on the work, the value of his scien-

fairs and In the management of the
fine farm of 200 acres. which lies
within short distance of the school.
The school dining room was re-
Gently destroyed by fire but this
building will be replaced within
few months. and, as the years go on,
st. Johns will continue into still
greater usefulness.

Mrs. David g. Payne. after
an illness Of influenza. = de-
parted this life on the morning Of
the l4th day Of February 1919. HIer
family end friends were painfully
shocked, when they realized the fact
that she was losing strength and grow
ing weaker day by day. ID
Mrs. Payne was one of our best
known and greatly beloved ladies.
In the year 1858 she was born to
her parents. DR.. Oliver Herndon and
his wife .Kiziah Herndon. She grew
up to yound womanhood and about
the year 1875 became the wife Of
our honored but now lamented citi-
zen, William B. Anderson, who in IN.
reserved faithfulness served his coun.
try in many capacities. To that union
there were born two sons, Oliver II.
who died in infancy and Victor v.
Anderson, who is now prominent
gentleman and splendid physician Of
New York City. -
II In later years she became thu
wife of David G. Payne, a highly re-
spected business man of this city.
From the first page to the last, it
was her good pleasure to leave US q
record of long and inestimable value.
We can treasure the memory Of
those days when she was an innocent
little girl and lived her childhood
days among US, and the days when
she grew up and was bride and be-
came the hostess of the Anderson Ho-
tel where many celebrities and fam
our people were entertained.
Through all the stages of her life
she was ever the same pure, steadfast
character, bravel7 and sweetly facing
the duties before her. Always re-
presenting the highest and the best,
she spent her gentle, beautiful life
among tn people of Barbourville and
was so identified with it she became
a real part of it.
Her character was adorned by q
pure Christian faith, by her loving
service to the church and by her
allegiance to the cause Of Christ.
She leaves besides her husband and
son four brothers, DR.. Ben Hern-
don, of Texas, Alex Herndon, Will
lam Herndon and James, sHerndon,
and a host of friends to mourn her
loss, to all of whom we give our
deepest sympathy. We shall miss
her but not forget her. At church
we will recall her well remembered
presence. In the Bible Glass we will
recallNer well known voice. We will
remember her in our circle of prayer.
We'have celebrated the Lords Sup
per our last time with her, until we
renew the feast with Jesus before the
Alter of God. i
