FOLGER LIBRARY
GETSRARE BOOKS
Rare and Valuable Copies
Are From HarmsWorth
lCoIIeCtion.
BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

The Felger Shakespeare Library has
been enriched by the purchase Of 400
additional rare and valuable books from
the collection OF the late Sir Leicester
Harmsworth, famous British biblio-
phile.
DR.. Joseph Quincy Adams. director
Of the library, announced the acces-
sion yesterday, explaining that books
include some of the finest rarities in
English literature"
"These were items acquired by Sir
Leicester during the last year of his
life" he said, "and they were still
unpacked. He had been too i'll to ex-
anime them and to add them to his
collection. His family actually was
not aware of their existence. They
were stored in dark closet in barn,
where I was fortunate enough to dis
cover them. Lady Harmsworth, when
told Of the find, was interested in
having the books added to the main
collection we already had acquired"
Brought from England to Washing
ton In a lot shipment, the entire pur-
chase now Is being catalogued in the
library as the latest supplement to
''one Of the worlds four greatest IL
braries of Early English books"
Monument to Collector.
DR.. James G. McManaway, assistant
director, discussing the accession, ex-
planned: "One of the sadder aspects of
book collecting is that after man has
devoted lifetime of loving care to
assembling library Of note, circum-
stances frequently necessitate the dis
persal of the books at public sale. For
a long time it was feared that the
Harmsworth collection might be SINH
larly dispersed. But fate ordained
otherwise, and now the books have
come to take their place in the Folger
Library as an enduring monument to
the man whose perspicacity brought
them together. Each of the volumes
will have its bookplate, identifying it
forever as Harmsworth book"
The total collection. including DR..
Adams recent supplementary pur-
chase, has been estimated to number
approximately 10000 titles. Sir
Leicester's was probably the last great
private library in England in this
Early English field" DR.. McManaway
declared. "and it is safe to predict that
no comparable transfer of English
books to America will occur again."
Many of the volumes are exceptional.
Nearly 1000 are apparently unique
and almost 1000 more are known in
only one other copy.
Copy of "Faery Queene."
Among the priceless rarities is a
unique copy of the first edition Of
Spenser's "Faery Queene" without the
customary dedication to Queen Eliza
beth. Another beautiful book, Of
which only one perfect copy is known,
IS Antoine de la Sales 'Fyftenne Ioyes
Of Maryage.' 1t was printed by Wyn-
kyn de Worde, in 1909, and bound
shortly after. but it is still in the orig
inal calf binding stamped with figures
OF st. Katherine Of Greece. Equally
superb in its own way is q 'Proclama-
ton Touching Tobacco which Charles

TRADE POTTERS TRYING

Erwin, Tenn, June 20 - Nest

Great Smoky Mountains, sits the
beautiful city of Erwin, Tenn. 1t

been, up until a short time ago.
The principal industry here is the
oldest of all industries - Pottery

There is a slendid Local Union
here of the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters. Members of
this Local Union trace their trade
and craft back to the days when
the vessels were made which were
used in the miracle of turning
water into wine. Further back
than that, even goes the history
of this ancient and honorable
trade, to the time when the Phar-
.oahs ruled with iron hand.

Rousevelt's address was equally
conciliatory. He disavowed any in
tention of intervening, as Presi-
dent, in any primary contests, but
as head of the Democratic party
he reserved the right to prefer
Liberal to reactionary candidates.
Stronger than any words he did
or could utter was his unexpected
executive order putting into the
classified civil service more than
100000 Government positions
which have heretofore been re-
garded as political patronage. He
accompanied that with an order
forbidding all political activities by
government employees or the use
of political influence to gain en-
ployment in the public service.
Spy Situation o
Experienced Washington observ-
ers expect no such millenial state
of things to come into existence
overnight, but it is hailed by the
advocates of Civil Service Reform
as the longest step ever taken in
one stride toward the ideal of talk
ing public service outside of the
realm of party politics.
There is more concern in Wash
ington than appears on the surface
over the recent disclosure of the
activities of German spies in the

great amount of evidence of such
espionage activities on both coasts,

GOVERNMENT infrmgements

Every formal organization of in
dividuals for a common purpose
calls for compromises in which all
must surrender certain rights for
the benefit of the group as a
whole.
1t is an axiom laid down by
the founders of the United States
that the best government is that
which governs the least. Great
pains were taken by the states
men who drew up our Constitu-
ton and the Bill of Rights, that
in organizing the new nation to
accomplish things which called for
united action, there should be the
least possible infringement of in
dividual rights. The less govern
ment the better.
Under the pressure of chang
ing methods of business and trans
portalion, laws were made to reg
ulate many things which did not
require regulation in the early
days. Gradually one group or in
telest after another began to de
mand laws for their special bene-
fit, until the American people
came to look upon Government
not as something of their own ere
alton but as an impersonal power
which could confer or withhold
benefits at will. To me, the great
est danger America faces today
is the growth and acceptance of
that point of view.
