The proposition to establish and maintain a public library In Winfield la a wprthy enterprise. The question will be submitted to the people of Winfield for a vote on next Tuesday, and the loyal, patriotic citizens should see to It that the proposition carries by a large majority. Mr. Carnegie proposes to donate the money for an arftlstlc, useful building, If the people will furnish a site. Mr.

Carnegie will probably give for the library building. If the vote for the library Is large and t'ae majority Is overwhelming ha may give even more. The critics of the public library proposition sbould remember that Mr. Carnegie has already donated about $27,000 to this community, more than enough to pay for the maintenance of tbe library for a dozen years. Tlie public knows that Mr.

Carneerfe gave $25,000 to the permanent endowment fund of Southwestern, and approximately $1000 each for the Presbyterian and Christian church pipe organs. That means that about $27,000 was thus added to the wealth of this community. Winfield needs this public library. It needs it because the town will be benefitted not only In a moral and educational way, but also financially. It needs it because other neighbor-In gtowns have such a library.

Tt needs It because it will add another beautiful building to Winfield and help to attract more desirable residents. Winfield is known all over Kansas and in a way throughout the nation as one of the most beautiful residence cities anywhere and as a town with high ideals and with unsurpassed educational facilities. It would be a bad advertisement for this town to have tbe news sent forth that the library proposition was voted down, or carried only by a email Let all the friends of education and progress vote for the public library. It Is said on the streets that some of the laboring men are against the library. The laboring man, and the man of small means will, if anything, receive a greater benefit from the library than the man of larger means.

If the so-called laboring men do not-read books "themselves, most of the mhave children who can use them during their school days. With such a library the growing children will be enabled to read more and better books, and thus enlarge their Btore of knowledge, which will. equip them with more power to efficiently fight the battle of life. The man of larger means has the wherewithal to tony books and so the benefit of the library Is not needed so much by him. The laboring man Is the last man who should oppose the public library.

He will not only reap a benefit out of pfoportlon to the cost to hinC but the building of such a structure will give added employment to labor. The tax of the laboring man. who owns his own home, will not be Increased by the public library to exceed fifty cents. have this public library by a unanimous vote; at least one home muslcale, with two soloists, and one general recit al.

JUNIOR PLAY. One of the biggest social; events of the year at Southwestern will be the Junior play given by the enterprising class of '12. It has long- been the custom In eastern colleges and universities for the Junior class of the institution to annually put on a well known play as one of the-principal attractions of the year. The present Junior class at Southwestern recently decided not to be behind the times and voted to present A. W.

Pinero's "The Benefit of the Doubt." Everyone at all conversant with modern playwriters know" that Pineros one of the best dramatists of the day and there Is no doubt that the play selected will be one of the best ever presented in Win field. The "Juniors have within their number several members who have already had considerable experience along dramatic and elocutionary lines. Chief among these are Miss Carol Albright who has graduated from the Southwestern school of oratory in addition to a year's training in the Cumnock school of oratory at Chicago: Messrs. Bacon, Hutton, Crookham, Wycoff and Davis who are at present enrolled as regular students in the school ot oratory; also Misses Lulu Yetter and Bertha Wool- sey both, of whom have played leading parts in' the annual Belle Lettres play for several years. Other mem bers of the cast are Misses Hunter, Sample, Lohrdlng and Messrs.

Brothers, Wells and Wm. Hutton! There is no doubt that the play will be a great success and it is safe to say that Winfield will turn out en masse to see this, the principal social event of the year.

SPOON, Society Editor. CYCLAMENS IN TUB -ORLST'S WINDOW. All day the staring window Beside the busy street Thrills with the far. faint echo Of twinkling fairy feet! All day we stand, at tip-toe, With wings like crimson foam, And hear the fairy piper -Go railing, calling home. The fairy piper's playing It sings of hasting grass; Of fretted waters, flowing Ad own a rock-bound pass; Of moonlight silver-dripping Aslant on fern and flower, Where lilting, laughing wood-sprites Dance out their little hour.

The fairy piper's playing So sweet it sings, and low That none may choose but follow Where'er the piper go It sets the mad blood pulsing 'TIs grief too sad for tears And none may tell its message 'Tis his alone who hears! some shall leave their spinning And come with pranced eyes, To hear the piper's music In dreams of paradise! But WE may follow never That lost wild strain again, For we were woodland dryads Who loved the sons of men. Mabel Illllyer Eastman, in April Kansas Magazine. Friday Recital.

TRICE. 258 lwk TODAY IN HISTORY. John Jacob Astor, who died March 29, 1843, was tne founder of one ot the greatest fortunes in America. Al though the Astor millions of today consist principally of real estate values, John Jacob Astor, who was the original multi-millionaire of this country, laid the 'foundation for the immense wealth which his descend ants are now enjoying by trading in furs. He was born near Heidelberg, Germany, In 1763, and was the son of a poor man and lowly peasant.

In his sixteenth year he went to London, and worked with his brother, a maker of musical Instruments. At the age of twenty he sailed for America, and invested his small capital in furs In six years, by economy and indus try, and some say by sharp practice with the ignorant Indians, he had ac quired a fortune of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Then it was that his true genius as a captain of industry asserted itself. He sent out two expeditions to the Oregon terri tory, one by land and one by sea, to open up a regular trade with the natives. In 1811 he established the fur trading station of Astoria.

From this -time his ships were found in ev ery sea. When he died he left prop erty estimated at twenty million dol lars and a bequest of four hundred and fifty thousand dollars to found a public library in New York, known as the Astor library. Most of the property left by, Astor was real estate, for he early realized the enor mous possibility of what political economists term the unearned increment. It was his custom to buy up tracts of land and as soon as the growth of the city Increased his land values he would sell and invest a little further out. In that way the holdings at the time ot his death amounted to large tracts Which are now worth vastly more than the for tune originally bequeathed to his Garricks Bakery and Confectionery Store, it will pay you to visit this store and Bee the sanitary methods Used in this bakery.
