Hughes con- tinued. "Tho only life he desired. that of energy and usefulness. he could no longer hope to enjoy. Pain~ lessly. without warning. and in a. moment of apparent refreshment. there was s slight movement and he was gone. The cares of his ste- w hip were lifted and he was at r t in God‘s peace.“ Secreisry Hughes told of the en- try of Mr. Harding into journalism with the purchase of the Allariou Star. commenting that the Journal- ing for public oihce becsuse it do. mandcd careful observation. _ "Youns Hardin; identified in succe- with that of his town.” Mr. Hughes said. “He embodied the American spirit, m into the endeavors of the town the persist- ence and courage of his pioneer for- bears. ’who hsd made towns poni- ble ‘ ‘ ' He was ever- grtat heart in newspaperdom. Be not only had his principles. but he codi- tied and enforced. them." Taking up the politics] life of Harding. Mr. Hughes said that he soon achieved distinguished position inrthe Senate. where “his keen in- telligence and common sense won for him general confidence and esteem. while his unfailing friend- liness made him universally - loved." The secretary recounted the steps President Harding followed to meet the necessities of readjustment of the nation to the ways of peace and added: , “It m with as intense desire to contribute to the promotion of peace and to find avcnu " '7 helpfulne- thnt he contempls. the chaotic conditions left by the great war and out relations to other peoples.

But he desired to safeguard this fortunate detachment from the ambitions and rivalries which had vexed the old world not Only to conserve our own secuflty.~ but that' America ‘might use her freedom for enlarged service." Coming the calling of the Washington conference for limita- tion of nrmment. Secretary Hughes quoted from the sddrcacs of Presi- dent Harding to show “that "his as- piratlon had long been declared." “The distinctive feature of the Washington conference was the de- finite and limited character of its aim."

But the city of Bridgeport. Conn.. has a library in which the spirit of liberalism still inspires the management. Remembering the vivid picture in “Main street" of the old maid li- brarian of Gopher Praries who con- sidered it her first duty to preserve the morals of the reading public. we turn to a descriptionrof the Bridge- port Library as found in the Post of that city. “Tho— absence of the slightest trace of old-fogeyism is itself a distinction forlour library. The ci- tisen who comes here will and no fanatical clerks. He will find co- operation and service of the finest type. He will find a collection that is rare for its breadth and for its taste and for its usefulnes. Its richne- is svailable to the house- wife who wants a new 110’! for her scanty leisure. and for the busi- ns- man who wants s-tynce on a iocbnicsi matter. and the un- dent who wants to brawls vision beyond the limitstions of the class- room. and for the man who wants to enrich his life and his thought." The writer of this paragraph of praise has stated succinctly wins! a public library is for.- It is the place of all the people. It maintains no vigilant censorship over public morals. so long as public decency is not offended. It knows no index oxpurgatorius. It lo I neither to old-fogeyism nor to ra icallsm. For. literally, a public library is a reposi- tory of books. It should be as un- oplnionated as the gars and as on. biascd as the weather report. Too often our municipal libs-mics are either morgue- whore 'doad mfof ephemeral ‘ 4 e. The cure for such sick libraries is an intelli- gent management and mix. a band- on agency on the part of public med- dlors. and an adequate apportion- ment of public funds. Where you iind these three things. you find an institution that reflects credit on the books repose unclaimed. or an.ssy-_ lumfor those harmlem tomes thus ' for their clmrncter and their abiliw and not for their political pull."
