Mr.. Carnegie consented but the

1909 Mr.. Carnegie renewed his offer
of a public library building for Pen

thousand dollars, made August IA,
1901, to NJ. NJ. Ross, for free public

Again in 1911 the famous steel
king and philanthropist signified his
willingness to donate a sum for a Ii
brary building, raising the sum to
$4,000. ~.
This offer has never been recalled,
but in order to get the donation it is
necessary to secure money for the
purchase of the property for the
building and a guarantee of ten per
cent for it's maintenance. An ordi-
nance was before the council in 1911
providing for levy of tax amount
ing to one half of one mill to defray

''YOU HAVE GOT TO RUN FAST
TO STAY WHERE YOU ARE"

A great English statesman once
said, 'There is nothing so conserva-
tive as progress" In other words, the
three that doesn't grow dies; the
stream that doesn't flow dries up; the
man who doesn't go forward falls be-
hind. LET well enough alone" says
the mossback or standpatter, not real
izing that "weI enough" never re-
mains "well enough" if it is wholly
let alone. The individual, the county,
or the state that is not progressing
is falling behind.
President Woodrow Wilson in an adj
dress before the Washington City
Press Club, May Is, expressed this
idea in language that should become
proverbial. Citing the expressions of
"Alice in Wonderland" who with the
queen, iran very hard only to find
themselves where they started, and
learned that they had to run twice
as fast to get anywhere else," he
added:
THAT is also true, gentlemen, of
the world and of affairs. You have
got to run fast merely to stay where
YOU are, and in order to get anywhere
you have got to run twice as fast ~
that. That is what people do not real
ize. That is the mischief of those
hopeless dams against the stream
known as reactionaries and standpat-
ters and other words of obloquy. That
is what is the matter with them; they
are not even staying where they are.
They are sinking further and further
back in what viii some time comfort
ably close over their heads as the
black waters of oblivion. I sometimes
imagine that I see their heads going
back in what will some time comfort
down, and am not inclined even 90
throw them a Hfe-preserver. The
sooner they disappear, the better. We
need their places for people who are
awake. The Progressive Farmer.

At an enthusiastic meeting Of the
Pensacola Library Association the
subject of Carnegie Library for
Pensacola was ardently discussed yes
terday afternoon and the following
chairmen were appointed to approach
a number of the business men of the
city to secure their endorsement Of
the movement:
Mrs. c. w. Oliver, president Pen
sacola Library Association, Miss Eve
Ign Thornton, Miss Goldine Jacoby
and Miss Sadie Kugleman.
1t is the rule of Mr.. Carnegie to
provide any sum that the city shall
agree to raise ten per cent of annu-
ally.
Ever since the earliest of Mr.. Car
negie's numerous benefactions in aid
of public Libraries were announced a
number of members of tie Pensacola
Library Association, have entertain
ed the hope that Pensacola might
have a Carnegie Library, and in 1901,
and internationally since that time
the question has been agitated. The
late Mr.. William Fisher, devoted
friend of the library and an old mem
Der of the association, prepared q
bill for a law looking to compliance
with the well-known conditions pre-
! scribed by Mr.. Carnegie, that the
city receiving the same should pro,
vide site and the means of perma.
nent maintenance, to the amount an
nually of ten per cent of the desired
donation. The bill was introduced il
the legislature and became law.
In pursuance of the terms of tn,
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-07-21

negie advised Immediately that he
was ready to donate the sum necess-
airy to build the library, provided the
city came up to his requirements.
The city ordinance is in accord
ance with the act of the Florida leg
islature of 1901, which authorizes the
city of Pensacola to levy a tax of
not to exceed one half of one mill for
library purposes, the ordinance pro-
viding that for the first three years
the levy be one-half Of one mill,
which would amount to $4,000, suf-
ficient to cover the purchase price of
the site and the annuai guarantee of
ten per cent for three years, and
thereafter sufficient to provide a net
revenue of $500 for maintenance.
In this way it was proposed to Sc
cure for Pensacola an institution of
which this city has long stood in need
and which many smaller towns in the
south already possess, a free public
library.
The committee of representatives
men upon whom the committee will
call during this week or next week
will not be bound in any way to for
mer plans of the citizens of Pensa-
cola, but will be asked TO cooperate
with the Pensacola Library Associa-
ton in formulating some plan to Sc
cure a Carnegie library for Pensa-
cola.
Other cities have worked out this
problem in a satisfactory way, and
there seems no reason to believe that
Pensacola cannot also find some
means by which the library may be
secured.
