A VERY HEAVY VOTE WILL Be POLLD
As Party Lines Have Been Drawn, the
Two Great Political Factions
Will Try Their Relative
Strength,

The school election Monday will be
the most warmly contested election ever
fought in this section, and is especially
interesting because it is being engineered
on party lines and will be the first
wrestle of the two great political parties
in Otero county.
The Republican County Central com
mittee has persstently endeayored to
prevent the drawing of party lines in
this matter and THE News has stood
with the committee, but the Republican
club is in favor of the plan adopted and
proposes to carry it through without
the aid of Central committee. 1t is as
serted by the members that the best
way to get good school directors is for
both parties to put up their best men
and then let the public select.
On the Republican ticket are:

Nature has just one pigment on her
palette with which she produces all the
marvellous tints OF beauty, and that one
pigment is the blood The shel-like pink
beneath the finger nails. the delicate rose Of
the cheek, the cherry ripeness of the lips,
the irridescent briliance of the eyes are all
produced by the blood. Just as the per-
manence OF a beautiful painting will depend
up0n the purity of the colors with which it
Is painted, so the pcrmanence Of beauty
depends on the purity of the blood. Paint,
powder and cosmetics won't avail to preserve
beauty. Beauty begins in the blood DIR.
Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery is true
beautifier, because IL provides for nature
that pure blood with which alone she can
paint. The use of this medicine will cleanse
the skin, heighten the complexion, brighten
the eyes, ard give to face and form that
radiance Of health which is the greatest
charm Of beauty. DR.. Perce's Pleasant
Pellets are very effective in Kidding the

EDITOR The OwOssO TIMES:
Is the dream to become a reality?
Are we to enjoy the pleasure of pub

for the first object of the library is to
afford people rational pleasure. There
have been times in human history when
efforts were made to subject pleasure to
prohibitive tariff. But the assump-
ton that the world is chiefly valuable
as gift to be spurned is fortunately
fast disappearing.
Pleasure, while not the end of life, is
one of the great objects of living. Pleas.

at once permanent and beneficent
Upon this need and governed by this
principal stands the library. Where

and wittiest men and women the world
has known. Here we are admitted to
an intellectual aristocracy who throw
around us the charm of their words and
personality. Here we may look into
the faces of the great leaders and in.
structors of men. When after forty
years work Michael Angelo finished his
master piece, Moses. its life like appear

1t is not thus in library. Here Moses

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Every State has increased in population,
and the only city which has apparently lost
Is the one which padded its returns ten
years ago and now suffers for Its folly.
The United States now has larger popu-
iation than any European country except
Russia; and the average Of our wealth and
productive capacity carries us far beyond
that kingdom in real greatness. Germany,
among European countries, comes next to
the United States but 1t can show only q
population of 52,279, 9O1, or about two
thirds of our total. In area the United
States, with Its new possessions, Is about as
large as all Europe. In wealth 1t is the
richest nation the world has ever known.

aspiration. Three great institutions

Favors a Public Library.

The time has come to OwoSso as it
has to all towns Of it's size, and in fact
to smaller cities and many villages,
when the establishing and founding of
free public library must be consider
ed and should be undertaken by the
mayor and council. That the necessi-
ty and deSirability Of a free public
library as an educational institution
has passed the argumentative stage is
recognized by all who are in touch with
the drift of public thought and action
in educational lines in the great mid
die west as well as in the eastern
states.
Under recent act of thellegislature
of the state OF Iowa, one Of the most
progressive states of the Union, pub
lie Libraries are being established in
every town and hamlet of any impor-
lance in the state.
The provisions of this act / am not
familiar with, but infer that the state
assists in some way. In our own state no
financial aid is furnished by the state
to public libraries except by the state
library, but much is being done by our
efficient state librarian not onlyato as
sst in the establishing of public libra
ries throughout the state, but in fos-
tering them and in extending the.aid of
the state library to the general public
through the local public libraries.
l think There is not a town in the
state the size of OwoSso but has pub
lie library.
pointed by the mayor to investigate
the question of public library in
Owosso, shows what is being done in
some of tbs smaller cities in Michigan,
and is unquestionably right in it's re-
commentator of free public library.
A library to be useful and to accom-
plish the purpose designed must be
free as is the instruction and privileg-
es and instruction of our public schools
and it must be In the hands of com
petent person with knowledge Of
books who can select books for all read
ers and yet put in no worthless or I'M
desirable ones (of which there are more
than desirable ones) on the shelves.
When a public library is once estab-
lished, it will grow by it's own mo-
mentum without large appropriations
for books. There is no public institu-
tion that appeals to the generosity of
the public spirited man who is looking
for some object worthy Of gift strong
er than public library.
The way to establish free public
library is to establish ito establish
1t, that is all there is to it and no
great appropriation is necessary. The
library will grow until some good man
or woman shall provide by gift or be-
quest the necessary funds to build a
good public library building. n
