f COMMUNICATIONS.
. fff fttfffff
THERE are many reasons why Medford should go slow
in the matter of a Carnegie library.
Tt is proposed to place the library jn the public park
a $20,000 structure upon a $100,000 site ruining the park,
and preventing its use for any other purpose in the future.
This will evoke widespread protest.
The city does not need a library building one-tenth as
much as it docs a library of books. There arc at present
1200 volumes m the library. There should be 10,000 be
fore a library building is demanded.
The entire amount of the hvy raised for library pur
poses must be spent in maintaining the Carnegie library
leaving no funds to purchase books with. J low are we
to get the needed books?
What is the use of a library building, costing a couple
of thousand dollars a year to maintain, when there is noth
ing to put in it? Why the shell without the kernel?
.Is it not sound business .judgment and common sense
to spend our money J'or a few years in buying books, until
we have something worth while to house, before spend
ing all our coin in maintaining a fancy structure.
The library needs, most oi all, books and a tree reading
room. We can gradually acquire the books with the money
that would otherwise be spent in maintenance. We caii
secure the reading room at a nominal cost. Why, then,
the necessity for a library building until we have the
library?
Another thing delay will lose the city nothing. Car
negie gives money for perpetuating his fame in the shape
of libraries, upon a population basis. A city of 10,000 pop
ulation gets twice as big a building as one of 5000 popu
lation, etc., A few years' delay in a rapidly growing city
like Medford will secure twice as large a structure as prom
ised now, iiccause mere win ue iwice as many people ncre.
Tt will also afford opportunity to acquire the needed
books, and without books the library will be a iarce.
Medford has no library worth the name. It is then
lolly to bind the city to spend its library money in main
taining a library building that is not needed, when it
should be spent purchasing the library.
And when Medford has a library, there will be plenty
of time to discuss a library building!
Is this not common sense?

pROFESSOR SCOTT NEAPING of the University ol
A Pennsylvania takes a gloomy view of femininity. I It
daclares that "if the women of today continue to be the
economic burdens to men that they are now, they will ruin
this country just as the dissolute women of Rome ruined
that empire.
"The wife no longer contributes to the familv income
by creating values. With the increased standard of elab
orate dressing, she is often its chief burden. Today we
have the parasite woman. The whole idea of the woman ol
the middle and upper classes is to sponge upon the men
"Either woman must continue to be a parasite and go
down to ruin, dragging nations with her, or she must be
come a producer with an economic necessity for her exist
once. All of which is interesting and to a degree true. Bui
the future of the country is not at all endangered by the
tendency of women to become parasites, though such a
tendency exists today as it always has existed. But the
percentage of parasites is no greater, though publicity
avenues being wider, more is heard of their frivolities and
follies.
There never was a time when there were more women
engaged in productive work, when there were so many ave
nues open for women, when woman was of such industrial,
commercial and political importance as today and hei
field of opportunity is constantly broadening.
The "parasite woman of the upper and middle classes"
forms such an infinislismal part of humanity such a tiny
bubble of froth on the great wineglass of life, that she
cannot be considered as seriously affecting it. For oven
parasite there are thousands of willing workers, for worn
an, as well as man, is understanding more and more that
the purposeless life of the non-producing parasite is not
worth while, and that the idle sin against themselves as
well as against society, which in its imperfect organization,
still tolerates thorn.

WASHINGTON, I). C, March 28.
That sweat shop conditions are re
sponsible for the New York lioleo
cttust was the statement here today
of Vice President O'Connell of tho
American Fedcrtltion of Labor.
"Conditions stieli as prevailed in
the 'TriniiKlo Factory," he said, "Do
not exist in a single union shop in
tho country. Organized labor would
not tolerate such a sweat shop in the
country. Organized labor would not
tolerate such sweat shop conditions.
Congested (ptartp'ra ure not permitted
in union shops and adetpiato fire es
capes are compulsory. I think the
blamo for the disaster is equally
divisible between the employers of
Iho dead girls and the city authorities."
