I'm other words II would pay the city to take
stock in that electric road and thus secure ita

returned. For there surely will be indirect
ones that will more than compensate for any
excessive cost in lighting. There will be the
taxes on the electric road, which will be paid
into the Fort Smith district Then the country
between here and Van Buren, will all be built
up; property will be increased In value and the
taxes on that increase Of valuation will run also
into the Golfers Of the Fort Smith district A
boulevard will be constructed to Van Buren,,
along which will be new houses. The wagea
paid to electric read employees will all be spent
here, and that alone win atone. Then think Of
the amount Of money Fort Smith will get out Of
the building Of the bridge and road
when the advantages of the electric road
are taken into consideration. the haggling ovel
the exact cost Of lighting seems trivial True
we should get the road as cheaply as possible
but whatever happens we must have the road. >

Jimmie Lewis and Jesse Stockley
we're arrested Friday morning byDeputy

OF violating the state game law. They
are charged with having shot prairie
chickens during the close season. The

They had had their heads and feet cut
off and ali the feathers plucked, so how
they are TO be proven to be prairie
chickens will not appear plain.

Slater at 10 o'clock. District Attorney
Buckmaster appeared for the state, and
Lloyd q Mcdowell for the defendants.
The trial of the case was laid over to
August 10. The defendants were re-

THE LIBRARY QUESTION.
Shall This City Be Allowed to Garry the
Stigma of Not Having One?

The Rev. j. W. Gilman has written
letter to the Racine Journal calling
attention to the most timely Of topics,
that of a public library. He calls up so
many facts that are aptly applicable to
Kenosha that we take the liberty of
printing it as follows:
It might be we'll for town to grow
up and not know how to read, if only
like the heroine OF The Golden Butter
fly, it might CORRESPONDENCE strengthen
it's memory; if it should have some kind
guardian to read to it the very best OF
literature; if it should be able to retain
and quote, as occasion demanded, every
word it heard, it would very likely sur
pass in real learning and brilliancy any
of it's rivals who could read and had
had reading matter ad nauseum, but
could not remember.
Many individuals in the town read,
but can it be said that the town is a
reading town unless it has something of
it's own to read. Is not the possession
of a public library, after the good ex-
ample of innumerable cities and towns
in the United States, necessary to re-
move from us the slightly disgraceful
stigma of being illiterate? Those towns
read. They know how to read. Any
individual, in a town such as Racine,
with no public library to go to; no
books of reference to consult; no easy
flight into the world of fiction, poetry,
music or romance, feels cut off from an
inestimable privilege. He is fast be-
coming afraid to call himself reading
man. He does not read, he knows, as
thousands 90 in other cities. Nay, he
feels that he is losing the power to read
intelligently and to his own profit He
can't read. The man who has once
had great opportunities in this way
probably feels the lack of them far
more than those who have not. How
many valuable inventions are lost to
the world because the initial idea that
came into PERSONS head was one that
needed examination in books of refer
ence as to it's possible development, and
no such books were accessible ?
The only objections that Ihave heard
and | have watched this matter with
great interest since [ have lived in Ra-
cine-to public library are: 1t is our
duty to first provide for the poor and
then, but not till then, spend anything
for books. Books are so skeptical and
unorthodox that they do more harm
than good in propagation OF false doc
trine.
To the first objection it is enough to
assert that an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure. Only when
people think and read a good deal is
poverty driven out. Ignorance and
poverty go usually together. Reading,
or the knowledge gained in reading, is
not exchangeable in the markets for
cash, but like all other secondary rules
it helps UNNECESSARILY to produce such
values as can be so exchanged.
The other objection has much weight
Orthodoxy has not yet it's innings in lit
erature, but that time is fast approach
ing Meanwhile to shut out all the good
that reading brings for the little harm
that might come, is a sin against open
ness-a lack of faith. 1t is like shut
ting ones house up for fear of a little
dust or faded carpet and perishing for
lack of air and sunshine.

In the mind Of any intelligent and thought
ful man that the country wants new dis
pensation. Revenue reform, as exempli-
fed by the tariff bill Of 1894, has brought
US no relief. As a matter Of fact, It has
simply confirmed and materiallxed the un-
rest and apprehension that followed the
announcement OF the result Of the elec-
tiOns of 1892. Our national income is in.

has been to stimulate importation and to
depress home Industries. We are suffer-
Ing under steady drain Of goed from the
