EX LLBRIS CARNEGIENSIS.

Up in Elwood they have Laird
o'Skibo library. No doubt 1t fulfills
Mr.. Dooley's definition OF a library.
That is stone building with the
names Of Homer Carnegie, Shakes
peare. Carnegie. Milton, Carnegie.
Dante. Carnegie, Goethe. Carnegie and
several other Carnegies.
The unfortunate part of this sort of
library Is that experienced by the
Elwood people. In the space Of a
number OF years all the money was
used In the maintenance Of the library
and little in buying books. Hence
litigation to dispense with the monu-
mental hall of the fame of Carnegie.
We have no reason to believe that
the library authorities did otherwise
in not buying books than to do what
they had to. When a Carnegie library
is completed in the eyes of the found

In the structure to put any other form

THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY.

Whatever anyone may think-agree-
ably or otherwise, about the advantage
es, policy and Judgment of swinging
about the circle. President Taft has the
merit. and very decided one in our
opinion Of going into the least friendly
places to advance his views on national
matters.
There is scarcely an opportunism APP
parent in his speeches so far. He
gives his audience the extreme pleas
ure Of differing with him. And this
takes no small amount of courage. To
make speech at Winona for Tawney
and to advance the Inheritance tax in
the hot house Of millionaires at Dem

taxable and incapable OF misconstruc-

Pennsylvania's Prisons a Disgrace.

Pennsylvania Prisons a Disgrace.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
One thing is very certain, and that is
that the next legislature must take
hold of the prison question and work
reforms, for today the prisons of Penn
sylvania are disgrace.
So bad are the conditions In the
Western penitentiary in Pittsburg that
the federal government is to remove
its prisoners from there. Filthy and
unsanitary are the words which de-
scribe the situation. Here in Philadel-
phia, in the Eastern penitentiary, the
management is unquestionably far bet
ter. There Is nothing filthy about the
Philadelphia prison. The men are
treated decently. II It is still dis
grace to civilization it is so not be-
cause the management can help it, but
because the law itself is at fault. The
cells are overcrowded, hence they can

Etiquette Of Polar Exploration.

Etiquette Of Polar Exploration.
From the Springfield Republican,
The report that Capt. Bartlett. the
skipper Of Peary's ship, would like to
try for the south pole and win the
glory of being the first white man" to
locate it Is not to his discredit: and
this is said with full appreciation of
the fact that the south pole venture is
already being regarded as, in some Pc
culiar sense. the monopoly of a small
group of English explorers. Lieut..
|Shackleton's recent journey over the
antarctic plateau to within Ill miles
of the "boreal center" in that part Of
the earth so greatly stimulated Brit
ish interest that Capt. Scott has
promptly begun to organize an expedi-
ton for the completion of the south
polar conquest" Capt. Scott has the
best wishes of us all. May he crafty
his ambition. But if there is another
who wishes to enter. the race for such
honors, whether Bartlett, or Jones, or
Brown, or Smith, why should he be de-
barred because Scott is known to
cherish the desire to arrive first?

MARSHALL.

The death of Governor Johnson gives
further strength to the desire of the
friends OF Gov Marshall, who is men,
toned more than casually for the DEM
ocratic presidential candidacy. Mar
shall has the decided merit of being 4
democrat which can not be said in Sc
robustness, Of the former candidate Of
the democratic party.
The will O. the wisp of Organism has
led the donkey into the depths Of the
slough of defeat Marshall Is a free
trade democrat $50 far and it is assert
ed by impartial papers such as the New
York Evening Post, that the democrat
ic party would have been in a stronger
position to deal with the future If it
had not played with the alien gods.
This gives Marshall real advantage.
Marshall is intensely popular in most
sections of Indiana and has done far
better than his bitterest republican en-
emies wished. His promises and state
ments during his gubernatorial cam
paign were scarcely satisfactory but he
has done far more than his word or In
timation. Part of his popularity is
reaction from the contempt of Hanly
But on the whole, Marshall has made
most Of his friends while in office and
that is saying great deal. This adds
much to his strength as democratic
candidate for the presidency. Just as
John Worth Kern incurred the kindly
feeling Of the men in Indiana who had
no intention of voting the democratic
ticket, Marshall has the good will Of q
great number OF republicans who are
nevertheless loyal to their principles.

They said they had pavement
That would last for many a day.
But they came with picks and smote It
To lay a water main,
And then they called the workmen
To put it back again.
To run a railroad cable
They took it up some more;
And they put it back again
Just where it was before
They took 1t up for conduits
To run the telephone.
And then they put it back again
As hard as any stone.
They took 1t up for wires
To feed the electric light,

For real charity Gainesville is not

fact that the poor of Gainesville were
well taken care of at this time is no
exception to the practice that has
been in vogue here for a number OF
years past
BY personal canvass It was found
that some nineteen deserving families
we're really in need of assistance, and
among this number seventy-five dol
lars was distributed in a manner that
would do them the most good.
All of Friday was consumed in this
noble work, and Rev. s. B. Rogers
stated to the reporter that he now
felt that he could enjoy one more
pleasant Christmas, for not only did
It do him good to see the manner in
which the assistance was enjoyed, but
he felt good in the fact that he hal
made a donation to assist in the
worthy cause.

down, also the Williams House, the
main hostelry there, as we'll as the

Mr.. Williams operated just across
the street.
AS this property is located some
little distance from the main body Of
the city, the reporter is at a loss to
determine how the main part Of town
could be ia flames, but undoubtedly
the half.dozen or more houses located
close TO the mill are a total loss.
The cedar mill was one Of the
main supports Of the place, and even
this loss will handicap them for con-
siderable time to come for the milling
