II is fact known the world over that
all successful newspapers have enemies.
In fact, il wouldn't be much of a paper
that didn't have. Even the GLOBE is no
exception. And it is also wel-known
fact that no successful business man or
man Of principle is ever found fighting
his home paper. A successful business
man usually has all he can do in attend
ing to his own business. In 80 cases out
Of 100, those who go out of their way to
try to injure their home paper are COM
pete wrecks and failures themselves,
and it is an eye-sore for them to see any
one else succeed in business. Nothing
in the world is more contemplate than
such envy and jealousy. And nothing
is more fatal to a towns interests than
for such condition to exist. We regret,
for the towns sake, that there are sew
eral parties in Condor who, instead Of
trying to build up business for them
selves and thus become useful citizens
to the town, appear to have lost all am
bition for anything but to try to injure
the GLOBE and other old enterprises
here--that were here and doing all in
their power to build up the town and
county before these sore-heads came to
the town, and before some of them even
came over to this country. II these
parties lit would hardly be proper to
call some of them citizens) would devote
even y the energy to trying to build up
the town that they do in denouncing
their home paper and other old and use
fnT enterprises that have assisted in
building up the town, the town would
be double the size it is. Very few, il
any, Of these parties alluded to have any
property interests in the town or pay
any taxes. We leave it to the public tc
6Efge ii the same can be said OF the
GToBE. Yet these are the same parties
who, in their mad desire to try TO injure
this paper, are trying to encourage an
other paper to be established herein
a field that they know is not large enough
for one paper, let alone two. As prooi
of this we call attention to the Condor
advertisements in the GLOBE, and all o
the business men here who have or dc
any business are now represented in it'
columns. But the GLOBE was here first
and it is here to stay-and that is nc
josh ''eyether." If another paper car
stand it, so can the GLOBE. As a rule
any business founded on petty spite
work is short-lived. But we do not be
lieve that any man capable of running
a paper successfully would be foolish
enough to establish another paper here
when there are already three papers in
the county, with population Of only
5000. 1t is considerable satisfaction tc
us to know that the GLoBE's patrons and
all those whose opinions are worth any
thing, are prefectly satisfied with the
GLOBE as newspaper. Generally the
class OF fellows who are small enough tc
try to injure their home paper. belong
to an element that have no influence
with the better class of citizens, and the
more they work against paper the bet
ter it pays. That has been our expert

library, or reading-room, as it more prop
erly and usually is called, has never been
intended to serve as an archive of antiquity
for inform atop, research and investiga-
tion, but is intended to furnish intellectual
recreation, current news and entertain
ment for those whose privilege it is to
use it.
In many associations of smaller COM
munities, the readinG-room is utilized as
a public rendezvous there often being no
other similar place available in the COM
m unity.
In cities like ours, it is intended as a
distinct mem bership privilege, with an
especially granted privilege to strangers
where application is made. This special
department of ofSassociation work is used
by about 200 mem oers and their friends
on an average per day for the year. An
abundance of current newspapers and
magazines are kept constantly on file.
The books in the library are OF the pop
ular sort, having been donated to it in
small lots from time to time, until there
has accumulated about 1000 volumes.

avenues in the very heart of the City.
In lis early years the library was the
meeting ground of citizens with reading
tastes, and so on through the vicissitudes
of its forty years life the people o: San
Francisco have regarded this library with
an affection which perhaps is not be-
slowed on any similar institution in the
City. Many of its patrons of thirty or
more years ago have been constantly on
the mem bers' roll TO this date.
The collection of thousand volumes at
the start has grown to that OF nearly
$4,000, as recorded in the last annual re-
port. While the signfcation of the name
Mercantile" has sometimes been mis-
interpreted it should be understood that
any person OF good character is eligible
for mem bership.
In conducting the library through all
these years IL has always been the pur-
pose OF those in charge to maintain a col
lection of books which would De credita-
BILE to the institution. True enough, the
ephemeral novel has of necessity been
shelved almost daily; but books OF ster-

ence have always had preference. With
