THE CARXEGIE LIBRARY
(This column for the next few
weeks will be devoted to the interests
of a free public library for Grants
Pass. The purpose Is to make this
a medium for a free expression of
opinions on this Important subject.
Address contributions to the . Library
Column.)
The traveler in New England is
often astonished and greatly impress
ed by the large number of free pub
lie libraries scattered throughout the
country. Every city, every town of
a few thousand inhabitants, and In
many places even the village of less
than a thousand souls has Its free
public library and the value of the
entertainment and Instruction the
people of this favored locality derive
from these Institutions can scarcely
be estimated. The publls library
means more to the people of the
small town In the way of entertain
ment than it does to the dwellers
in a large city. In the small towns
there Is a lack of entertainment and
they turn to the books of the library
to while away the long winter even
ings. W?e are a nation of readers;
whether We read for pastime and
amusement or for enlightenment and
Instruction, It Is safe to say that
eighty per cent of the American peo
ple spend at least one hour a day In
reading. The public library, with
Its extensive collection of books of
every nature, Its reading rooms with
countless magazines and newspapers,
Is a potent factor In the education
of the nation. Thousands of hoys
and girls, especially In the densely
populated manufacturing districts of
the Atlantic Btates, are compelled at
an early age to leave school and go
out Into the world to earn their own
living and help to support others.
Through the medium of the free pub
lic library they are enabled to com
plete their education and become
well Informed men and women, cap
able of taking their place In the af
fairs of the world. What a treasure
the free public library would have
been to such men as Lincoln, Grant
and many other men of their age,
who fought their way to the highest
places over every obstacle In the way
of securing an education.
The Boston free public, library,
founded In 1852, was the pioneer In
the United States of free public
libraries supported by general taxa
tion. Next to the Congressional li
brary In Washington, it Is the larg-
Af nn J aA I
important collection of
books In America
and it Is fitting-
ly housed In one of the most beautl-
rui library structures in the world.
The state, by giving part of the land
which forms its site, and manv pub
lic spirited citizens by contribution
nnd bequests, have united with the
city In the effort to make this library
representative of all that Is worthiest
In American Institutions tv, t
public library Is now known In count
less cities nnd towns. Traveling li
braries are carrying Instruction and
entertainment to many a lonely
farm house or humble work shop
Slowly, l,t Rlirolv, nn apprerlntlon
for the best In art and literature Is
permeating the masses and In all
this work for the bettering of hu
manity Boston has been a pathfinder
and nn Inspiring power. The cen
tral library of noston contained a
few years ago nhot SOO.flOO vol
mnos, and besides this, there nre teu

an extensive nnd permanent coller

ONLY NAME RETAINED
-CIRCUS ENLARGED
It is understood that the Great
Sells-Floto Shows Consolidated this
year have undergone a general reno
vation in each and every one of the
many departments, and from the
monster exhibition tents to the cook
tent everything is new, clean and up-to-date,
the only thing that has been
retained being the trade mark and
name Sells-Floto which means
J. Fenimore Cooper, Mark Twain,
Oliver Optic, Horatio Alger, Jr.
books of travel and adventure were
to be had for the asking.
Some of these volumes were near
ly worn out through long years of
handling by youthful hands, and the
tattered condition of the book gen
erally attested its popularity. On
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons,
which were school holidays, the
children of the wealthy, the middle
classes and the rag-tag of the city
met on common ground In the wait
ing room of the library. A newsboy
from the "Newsboys Home" went
away with smiling face and a copy
of "Ragged Dick," "Rough and
Ready" or some other story from the
pen of Horatio Alger, Jr., under his
arm. No doubt the story of his own
life, poor little waif of a hustling
city, was as full of adventure and
romance as the tale he so eagerly de
voured. Some of these little fel
lows from the Newsboys' Home were
studious and ambitious, filled with a
desire to learn, and carried home
with them books of history and trav
el. The lihrary was a boon to all,
high and low, rich and poor, and a
wonderful help to thousands of stud
ents who filled the many Institutions
of education for which that city Is
noted.
The libraries of the country towns
are generally endowed In a spirit of
philanthropy by some wealthy cltl
zen and the benefit to the little com
munlty can not be calculated In dol
lars and cents. Under the Carnegie
endowment system It Is not hard for
a town to secure the foundation of
a fine library that will always be a
great benefit to the town that takes
advantage of the opportunity. The
burden it inflicts upon the people Is
a trifling one and unless one has had
the opportunity to observe the bene
fits of the free public library to the
dwellers of a community, they can
not realize the value of such an in
stitution and the Influence for bet
ter Ideals It exerts. Nearly all the
progressive and up-to-date towns of
the United States that nre eligible
are striving to secure a Carnegie li
brary, and any town that can by a
little effort secure such a gift and
fails to do so, is working a hardship
on the majority of its citizens. There
Is no Institution from which the pub
He ran derive such valuable and per
manent benefit.

THE ONLY WAY
Many Grants Pass Citizens nave Dis
covered It.
Just what to do when the kidneys
are affected, is a question that con
cerns both young and old. Weak kid
neys neglected In childhood lead to
life-long suffering. People of ad
vanced years, with less vitality, suf
fer doubly. In youth or agr lan
guor, backache, urinary Irregularity,
dizziness and nervousness make life
a burden.
There is one remedy that acts di
rectly on the kidneys and cures these
troubles. Doan's Kidney rills owe
their world-wide fame to the fart
that they cure sick kldnevs and cure
them permanently. Follow the ex
ample of the Grants Pass citizen and
you will be convinced that this Is to.
William Smith, 915 J street,
Grants Pass, Ore,, says: "I
Doan's Kidney Pills and I am glad to
say that they helped me greatly. This
remedy is an excellent one for back
ache nnd other kidney disorders, f
always trv to keen a supply on hand."
