In Springfield there are several prosper
GUS ana wealthy physicians, and there are
also a number of lawyers in affiuent circum-
stances. These gentlemen have accumu-
| lated in this city the competency which
they enjoy. and while they well earned all
they possess, the spirit of gratitude should
warm their hearts toward the town which
made their success possible. We have in
this city worthy object standing, so to
speak. with OutStretched hand inviting the
charity of the city's prosperous and liberal
minded people. Ii is a suitable site for
public library building. | understand that
a site is all that is necessary, as Mr.. Benja-
min WaIder holds himself in readiness TO
| erect magnificent building as soon as a
| proper site can be obtained. Ii has been
| suggested that the lawyers organize and
open special fund for the purchase of a
library site. and that the physicians do the
same thing. The idea is a sensible one if
the professional gentlemen could be per
suaded TO look at it in the same light.
These two benefactOnS might be kept and
]
lawyers would not want to be cut lone in
charity by the doctors, and vice versa, the
movement. if carried into operation. would
result in the securing of considerable pc
cuniary aid for the enterprise.
As the public library is an institution pc
culiarly beneficial to the clerks, mechanics
and wOrkingmen generally, fund for the
library site might be raised among them.
While they could not, of course. afford, in
dividually, to subscribe large amounts, there
IS way whereby they might, by united
action, contribute a considerable sum. If
the clerks, mechanics and wOrkingmen of
Springfield would designate day and each
of them set apart one hours earnings of
that day to be applied to the library site
fund, the amount realized would be surpris-
ing. While the individual contributions would
in themselves be small, the aggregate would
reach a creditable sum. 1t is to be hoped
that the labor organizations, at least, will
consider the merits of this suggestion.
The following chunk of wisdom is from
the Eaton Democrat, and is so decidedly
aprOpOS of newspaper circumstances in
Springfield that the writer must have had
this city III mind when he penned the
words:

and successfully run a newspaper.
