PUBLIC LIBRARY AGITATION
TIMELY IN PENSACOLA
Pensacola, Fla, May 80, 1s1


Editor Pensacola Journal.
The agitation of the question OF
public library for Pensacola, Is, in my
opinion, timely. Indeed, there is no
institution more necessary to the edu-
cation and moral uplift of communi-
ty than a first-class public library
But, does Pensacola need Carnegie
library with the conditions attached
to the alleged gifts of the willy old iron
monger, for library construction? am
inclined to the belief that Pensacola
does not.
BY all means, however, let's have
modern, up-to- date library in Pensa-
cola-a library that will be monu-
ment to the public spirit of Pensacola'S
citizenship for all time to come, and
not a memorial to one whose millions
have been wrung from the blood and
tears of thousands of underpaid and
underfed American toilers during the
past two score Of years.
Toward a fund for the erection of
such a library as Pensacola needs, and
should have, 1 will donate 500. 90.
And, toward an endowment fund for
the proper maintenance of such a IL
brary. / will donate an additional
$3.50. 90.
The city owns several sites admira-
bly, adapted to library purposes. One
of these could be donated to an incor-
POA0tCd IlDIdGy dSSOCIdllOIl 10 D0 uS6u
in perpetuity for library purposes, thus
obviating the necessity for the pur-
chase of a library site.
With donations in like proportion to
those that I have volunteered above
from every Pensacolian who is able to
make a donation, a library building
in keeping with Pensacola's other pub
lie buildings could be made an assured
fact. And, with an endowment fund
for its perpetual maintenance there
would be no necessity for a tax on the
whole community, as is exacted as
condition by Mr.. Carnegie to his self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT scheme.

William Lorimer before the last gener-
al assembly would not have occurred
had it not been for bribery and cor
ruptton." This is the voice of the
neighbors OF Lorimer, the people who
know him best. Furthermore it is the
finding of a committee which went
painstakingly into every feature of his
election and ran down every bit of evil
dence obtainable in connection with it.
The verdict of this investigation ought
to be accepted by the United States
senate and Lorimer should be forced
to resign from a body which he dis
graces by his mere presence--Tampa
Tribune

The Republic
That is lettering.

When republicanism is of the right
brand it is good for people. but when
Il is that in name alone it is democrat
king. Such is the case in Portugal.
The average person sympathizes
with any people that seem to be
fighting for freedom. but in many
cases what seems to be the outbreak
OF a feeling Of independence is moth
ing more nor less than anarchy. At
ter waiting several months after the
republic of Portugal has been estab-
lfshed it looks like the mobs that
overthrow the government come under
the later classification. At least the
leaders do, although many of the fol-
lowers might have been led on by pa
triotic impulses.
no doubt there was trouble in the
government. Probably it was corrupt
and ineffective. The ease with which
It was overthrown indicates this. but
the Royalists governed Portugal bet-
ter than it is being governed at pres
ent. Continually the reports come
that no system is used to manage af-
fairs and that every department of the
government is demoralized, and is be-
coming more and more confused.
What is7to be the result? Will new
leaders come to the front and take
charge of the country that was danced
away" or will the dethroned king re-
cuperate his following and proclaim
himself king again? One or the
other is sure to happen within a few
months time.
1t may be that both steps are being
contemplated, and no doubt either
would be successful. The men that
took part in driving the young king
from his palace, from all appearances,
would hail his coming with delight.
They would now turn upon their for
mer friends and take up the fight for
the return of the monarchy.
If the Royalists can again take pos
session Of Portugal they win no doubt
profit by their experience and make
the government one that will conform
with the times and the people. The
news dispatches lead US to believe
that the attempt viii be made.
