lVOID FUNDAMENTAL ERRORS

Mr. f. II. Paris is quoted as saying that he
does not know the mistake of the Carnival Com
pany, Ltd, to which this paper refers in its
comment on thespast and future of that organi-
zation.
7 his paper always aims to please. It's re-
mark was directed at the resolution drawn by
and introduced at the suggestion of the retiring
board of directors, the resolve providing for a
possible paid official selected from among the
directors of the corporation This resolution
was amended, but the fact remained that its
presentation showed a failure on tle part of the
directors to appreciate Che fundamental prinei-
pie Of personal service, cooperation and accom-
notation, on which the Carnival Company is
founded.
The only serious crime which the directors of
the company have indicated that they might
commit is simply the old fashioned folly of sui
eide which has been indulgel in by too many
Organizations Of the city. The method of this
particular brand Of suicide is that directors,
deep in their splendid work, gain the 1nistakened
Impression that the people at large must accept
what the directors give them and any question
or suggestion from the body of the people, the
community stockholders, is an expression Of
want Of confidence, or jealousy or selfish inter
est or pique.
It must be borne in mind by all workers for
Tie public good that their effort is lacking in
much Of its possible value If it fails to carry the
public along good-natnredly at all times. Err
thermore the reward for such work is the fun
and glory Of doing it and not the enconinms Of
praise which may be something else tomorrow.
There are men in this town who believe in its
progress and who believe in the workers. These
men intend to help, they have always helped,
and they also intend to say what they believe is
the right thing to say and at the time which they
believe is the right time As this is done good
naturally and with the most perfect goodwill
towards those who may differ it is really better
for all concerned to look on the bright side and
endeayor to secure the widest possible coopera-
tion and advice.
Goodwill and personal service constitute the
only asset of the Carnival Company, Ltd, which
is worth while

"NEW CHICAGO" TO
HAVE A LIBRARY

Fairfield, Feb. l2.-That section Of
Fairfield kn0Wl as NV Chicago is
now tak,,iS on tuitLer airs because of
the fact that a branch of the Fairfield
public library is soon to be established
in the New Chicago Mission chapel. The
library board, realizing the growing de-
mand for the library in this part Of the
city has voted to establish the branch
of the regular public library.
Room for the books will be fitted up
in the chapel at once and number of
the volumns of fiction and educational
matter will be taken to the chapel
within the next few days. Daily papers
and interesting pamphlets will be add
ed as soon us the library is ready for
business. A librarian will be secured
and the new institution will be open
several evenings in the week and dur
ing Sunday afternoons.
There will probably be no reading
room in connection with this library at
first but that will be added AS time
permits. 1t is felt that the action of the
library board in granting this branch
library to the people of this part of the
city Is move in the right direction and
one that will be greatly appreciated by
all who have access to the new library.
