An air using story of literary censorship jeomes from America. ‘‘Huckleberry Finn,” Mark Twain’s story, has been debarred from the Denver Public Library for these reasons, furnished by Librarian Dudley : “The book by certain people is held to be immoral; ‘Huckleberry Finn,’ without mine ng words, denounces the Sunday School, arrd does not attend that institution ; he indulges in profanity and tells things more serious than fibs in order to wriggle expeditiously and safely out of embarrassing situations ; all of which are held to be highly prejudicial to the morals and good bringing up of youthful readers.
