IT IS to be hoped that the Carnegie library will not be located on the block owned by the city between the city park and the "Washington school. Some other site should be chosen, as this property is altogether too valu able to be used as a site for such a building. Let the board call for bids, and the rivalry between sections will produce the site. This block of land cither should )5e kept as a park or sold as business property and the proceeds used to pur chase an adequate park in the outskirts, or offered the county as a site for a costly courthouse. Once locate the library upon it and it cannot be used for other purposes. The Carnegie library building will cost $20,000. To spoil a $100,000 location by, a dinky $20,000 structure is not good business judgment. There ought to be plenty of sites available for library purposes that can be obtained at a reasonable figure if not offered free. The Carnegie library doesn't appeal very strongly to the Mail Tribune. It has no admiration for Andrew Car negie and does not think much of the city's co-operating with him to erect a monument to keep his name green for futurity and that is all that it amounts to. Medford is absolutely able to build its own library building, when needed. Carnegie, whose self-satisfied smirk is in every maga zine, made his money by exploiting the public. lie cor rupted the government to secure millions -by means of an unjust and oppressive tariff that pauperized the many to enrich fhe few. lie swindled it selling armor 'for battle ships. No slave-owner in history ever treated his work men more like chattels than this self-styled benefactor of humanity. "When they could bear it no longer and struck .this guardian angel of peace had them shot down like beasts and imported the peasant hordes of central Europe to take their places. Tainted money can build libraries so that the babes of the future can lisp his name, but not all his millions can buy Carnegie the homage or respect of the discerning. GOOD OLD BEN DAVIS.

Sings the poet of the Kaw: "The Ben Davis apple is lovely in hue,, it seems to in vito you to step up and chew. Lt's pretty and shapely, its profilo is fine hut J do not long for Ben Davis in mine. To out a Hen Davis is wastinc vour time: it tastes Ukc a mattress and drives you to crime. L ate a Jicn JJavis Avnen I was quite young, and now 1 recall it whenever I'm stung. It taught me a lesson, a lesson T prize; it sharpened my wolf-teoth and opened my eyes. And now when a faker comes up to my door, to sell mo some stock in a mine full of ore, I think of Ben Davis, and say to him, 'Nix,' and tell him to vanish and pelt him with bricks. And when L en counter an oily-tongued jay, too sweet and too gracious for man nmde of clay, professing affection approaching to love, think of Ben Davis, and give him a shove. L read in tho magazine pages of men who'd make us all wealthy, again and agaiiy they're brokers or dealers in moonshine and mist just send them two bucks and they'll mail you a list! Their glittering spiels don't appeal to my wits;' I think of Ben Davis, and throw a Tew fits." Yet the Ben Davis is nearer a gold mine than a gold brick, especially in the Rogue River valley. The Ben Davis hails from Missouri. So does tho writer he's got to be shown when tho Bon Davis is decried. Four years of close observation of the fruit industry proves that this plebe among aristocrats of the applo king-, dom is just as profitable as any apple grown in the Tfogue River valley. It may swipe the booby prize at all applo shows and be the object of ridicule and laughter but it annually yields a profitable crop. The Ben Davis is a hardy tree and easily cared for. I. ike the common people, it escapes many of the fashion able posts that prey upon the four hundred. It is a prolific producer not every other year, but every year--averag-ing a larger crop than higher prized varieties. The ap ples keep well, tire of handsome appearance, and good flavor. They stand shipment and find a ready sale wher ever offered. ' Ben Davis are today selling at $1.00 a box not f. o. b. Medford, and there is a demand for more than the sup ply, and apple prices have been lower than usual this sea son. For (lie past five veal's Ben Davis have netted around this figure and there is more profit to the acre and to the tree in Ben Davis at $l.f0 a box than in many of the fancy varieties at $2.00 a box, or oven at .$2.f0 a box not. Ben Davis is an applo for the multitude. Experience proves this. A peddler can make more money selling Ben Davis than any other variety. It has the size and the flesh, and though the epicure turns up his nose, its flavor is goinl, too. So hurrah for old Ben Davis, the pioneer applo of Ore gon and still a staple profit producer in tho days of the I'onuneivuu orchard. v and better Drown. man than Knuokout To Build New Collier.
