IMPORT OF BOOKS.
May I be permitted to endom* tiw sentiment* as expressed by your comtpondent, Mr. C. Hargraves, regarding ta» import of books. Liberal deraoemr must protest against these and all otfar hysterical methods peculiar to totallarian nations from being forced aya ue. Because democracy, if it it ft function of all, must hare constroetb* propaganda and not mere optatoM divorced from actuality. To conditka intellectual life, by artificial Stat* «*- trol, is despotism. Democracy demtadi for its realisation the removal of au obstructions which hinder the free den), opment of the individual, finally, tfct war must not be used as an excuse to put off the general election come time next year and in consequence fartiur extend the life of the Government. HARRY WOODRUFEE.
