Ameri cans ire rapidly being crowded from the mini di over the co-irtry by ho Ignorai t class of foreigners, very few of whom can even read or write their own language. Their labor is of an inferior grade, an dthey are the direct cause of many accidents resuHJng in deaths and destruction of property. They are un-American in their ' ideas and habits and are u 'ause ot great expense to lx payers in tho maintenance of police protection and in criminal prosecu tion.

Mississ ippi. But little attention was paid to the library until Brodigan took of f ice and during the past two years thousands ot dollars worth of law books have been added to the collec tion ' through the medium of ex chanfeing duplicate volums, Nevada reports aud codes, etc.. with the .ibrarles of other states. A prominent San Francisco law yer recently took occasion to Inspect the library and at the conclusion of several hours spent in Investigation declared that the collection or law books was the most complete . to ever come under his observance. Among the bocks on the shelves in the library and it might be well to state that when Brodigan took charge there were 33,000 volumes in the law department to which he has added 2692 additional volumes, can be found a nnmber of . priceless editions of old English manufacture. Many were printed .over a hundred years ago awl several were issued in 1600 and 1700. Of interest to both laymen and le gal practitioners are the copies of the Journals of the first legislative sessions of the New England states. These books, printed a century ago contain laws that today remain in -orce. Tne old style type was used and iu the spelling it la noticed Oiat the letter "s" had but little consideration, "f" taking its place in almoBt every instance. The pap jr, although, slightly ; yellowed with age, shows but little evidence of the wear and tear of a century, .and the various enactments can be plain .y read. The editions appear as a I'avorablo testimonial to the print er's craft cf the beginning of the last century. The statutes and reports of every state in the union are to be found in the law department as well as the reports of England and India. One set of English reports has a alue running up in the thousands ind a large eastern publishing firm recently sent out the announcement that it was impossible to secure du plka'.e' cats of the works at the present time. When Secretary ..Brodigan assumed charge cf the library he" discovered that the priceless volumes had been swt d in . thai cellar beneath the secretary oJL state's office, in the canltol dome and even In various closets cf the capitol building. Hei ing out the chaos-like conditions Imnied'ate'y commenced straigten and today a cemplete index is to be bd and it is but the work of a minute to fad any law book esirad. In addition to the law books, con siderable tpace is given in the . li- siat! pnjt., Files have been pre brary to , the files of the various state papers. Files have been pre pared of all papers published in this state and In many instances the papers published years ago were Issued in mining camps that are now almost forgotten. From a historical standpoint the newspaper files are valuable and this fact is keenly realized by Brodigan who Is a mem ber of the printer's craft and has case. ber of the printer's craft and has Fiction, blograpbs and histories are ako to be found in the library, while considerable attention has been paid to the juvenile depart Special Corresponednce.
