SAVE THE PARKS.
jsnitOr.

The HERALD is glad the city council
did not again forget itself and sci
aside a public park reservation for
building purposes. A high school
building is a necessity in Ell Psso.
Provision should be made for the cree
tiou of suitable edifice as soon as pos
sible. But the great good to be &C.
complished thus ought not be coupled
with the great wrong of despoiling the
parks.
People may laugh now as they see
the great pile of earth west of Buckler
square aud hear it called "park. -
Poor enough, to be sure. And yet it
is one of the three blocks In the heart of
the city set aside for park purposes.
Sooner or later the city will be built
up all around it. The space will be
sadly needed, and before many years it
will be improved and kept in order.
Let US not build upon it and choke the
city up unnecessarily.
The park reservations of city are
matters that in older communities
have usually been thought of too late.
New towns can do better. The people
demand them. and we certainly should
keep what We have. The city council
realizes now the great mistake 1t made
In running the little park in front of the
court house by slapping the city hall
down in it. They do not propose to err
again In this way. 1t Is too unpopular.
"The people won't have it, says
the mayor.
Save the parks! Once gone, gone for
all time

In view of the coming exposition and
the extra demand for local transporta-
ton, q school for coachmen has been
opened in Paris. This school turns
out from 100 to $50 per month. A
born Partisan can graduate in two
weeks, but an outsider is obliged to
remain thirty days, as he must know
every nook and corner of Paris, and
must take a course and pass examina-
ton in the police laws. Then, too,
they'have to be sohooled in the neatest
and most polite way to charge two
prices for the service they render and
in the fine art of getting the maximum
"drink money" from their victims.

power under the charter to provide for

OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY

With the removal of the public libra
ry into its new quarters in the city
hall, and the purchase of a large num-
Der of new books with the money gen.
erously given by Andrew Carnegie, the
library takes a new start
Few people realize that our little
library is, for it size, one of the best
selected general collections to be fOund
anywhere. Yet that is true. OF course
the library is intended primarily for
the accommodation of home readers. 1t
Is not yet we'll equipped for reference
purposes, but the directors have taken
the library. They have endeavored to
popularize it first. and afterwards to
round 1t out.
In this they have succeeded most adj
mirably. In quiet way the library
has been steadily gaining strength and
growing in popularity. The small
amounts received as dues have been ex-
pended entirely in building up the
library, and there has been NO waste.
The number of the people drawing
books out has steadily increased, and
the number of books kept in circula-
ton has been correspondingly increas-
ed.
Comparatively few people have
known of the truly great work that
was being done in that little room high
up in the Sheldon block. Few people
knew that the library really was pub
Ito" to general readers, the restrictions
applying solely to Withdrawing books.
Yet the reading room has been well
patronized during the afternoon hours,
aud scor es of people. book hungry,
have expressed their gratitude for the
library's existence.
Arrangements have been completed
for keeping the library open all day
and in the. evenings after the first of
the year, free of all charge to readers.
The Importance of this new departure
just what 1t means to Ell Paso-is i'm
possible to estimate. But it is safe to
say that no other single agency can do
more to raise the standard of this COM
munity than can the public.library.
The library ia for rich and poor, dull
and brilliant, old and young. The idler
who likes to look at magazine pictures
will be as welcome az the student of
Browning as long as he behaves pro-
perly. The school child and the busy
matron, the business man and the dis
satisfied winter visitor-all will be
made to feel at home there, and all
will be helped.
The library at present Is entirely
supported by the dues, three dollars a
year, of the contributing members.
These alone are allowed to remove |
books from the library. The sums
thus derived are small, and every cent
must be used in purchasing new books
and repairing old.
The public library is public neces-

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Mr. Croker
has sailed for ''the other side" and we
ar now under the rule of sub bosses
John W. Keller, nominally com mi g.
sioner of charities, and John f. Car
roll. The rulers OF the greatest city
on this continent cannot be a matter Of
Indifference in any part of the United
States, and sol mention the fact that
New York has passed temporarily into
the hands Of the men named. Mr.
Carroll has been "next to Mr.. Croker"
since the deposition of Sheehan three
years ago, but it is said now that he is
empowered to act for Mr.. Croker only
after consultation with Mr.. Keller,
who has come into great favor with
Croker aad who is spoken offor the
mayoralty when Van Wyck's term is
up.
The republicans havo been investi-
eating the city expenditures of the
boroughs since consolidation and find
that the budget increase of a22, 600, 900
contains provision for 100000 in
salaries that go for work not definite
ly speciisd. That is to say, Tammany
is carrying small army on the city
pay rolls, men who have no work to
do outside OF their election districts
with q view to m aking the machine
impregnable against the off1ce-less
republicans. Bonds to the amount of

and it is estimated that $50, 1000, 900
worth of bonds will have to be issued

ty. The city would be in q much better
financial condition. however, If it were
not robbed by the state. The proper
ton of taxes paid by New York city in
proportion to the taxes paid by the
many Is perfectly right in complaining
when it eau produce figures showing
that the cost of carrying the state gov
eminent In 1898 was S1.7O to a resident
of the city but two and three-tenth
cents to the residents of
thu thirty rural counties. These
Fl cures present the greatest anomaly
In GdXablOn ever known In modern
times.
You must haye heard something of
the collapse of the Franklin syndicate,
the Brooklyn South Sea Bubble that
advertised to pay ten per cent a week
on deposits, and actually paid this sin
terest" until 1t was closed by the pol
ice on account of newspaper agitation.
The interest, of course, was paid out of
the capital and the syndicate could
have lived just SO long as people paid
in enough each week to make up the
ten per cent on the whole amount in
vested. So far as anything can be
m ade out of the books captured by the
police, they show that in 33 days pre-
ceding Nov. 16, the receipts of the
syndicate were in excess of $500, 900,
and the disbursements S215 $50. Miller,
the head of the Syndicate, who has es-
capped the police, must have made way
with at least half million dollars if
the profits in one month were $4OO, 900. ]

BISHOP GALLOWAY DELIVERS TWO MOST ABLE SERMONS ON CHRIS
 THAN EDUCATION.
VERY LARGE AUDIENCES.
The Elegant Speaker Outlined the Grand Plan of the 2Oth Gen.
 tury Educational Movement

For almost two hours Sunday morning and last night congrega- tions which filled all the available space of the Lakeside and Main street Methodist churches listened with rapt attention to the match less pulpit orator of the Southern Methodist church, Bishop Charles B. Galloway, of Jackson. Miss. At the last E session of the General Confer ance of Southern Methodist church, it was decided to raise $1, 100000 this being the Southern Methodist share of 1925, ,000,0 eco decided upon by the Methodists of the world as a 10th century thanks offering to be ex- pended for eduea tional purposes. Bishop Galloway is now visiting the churches of this state for the Dur- pose of raising their portion of the S1,5O0, ,000.
 The speaker outlined the grand plan of the 20th century educational movement and showed how the various Methodist denominations oi Europe and America had begun ii and had pledged themselves to raise for that purpose $25, ,000Y0 900 before the beginning of the 10th century.
 He c. oqueEtiy reviewed and con. trasted the progress and history of the Christian DO Wers of the day with those pations in which Christian ed ucation among the masses has eith- CT been neglected or denied. He de ela1ed the decadence and downfall ol Spain was due to a religif us policy which maintained a closed Bible to masses of the people.
 Bishop Galloway concluded his sermons with an appeal on behalf oi Galloway College, He said that ih- stitution should be rebuilt with more grandt UT than before by the Methodists of Arkansas alone and that should be done this year.
 Bishop Galloway has been heard in this city before. He is a most ex- cellent and gifted gentleman and he was given a most cordial reception by Pine Bluffians.
 Over $500 was subscribed by the congregation at the Main Street Methodist church last snight to the Gall lJway College fund.
