BUT WHENEVER THE JOURNAL As To a Library of A petition seeking the establishment - a Carnegie Library is being circulated and numerously signed. ' There is plenty of room in Logan for a public library, and it would undoubtedly add to the citys reputation as a seat of culture; an educational center. It would be a good thing. However, prudence would suggest that before committing ourselves to the library, project, it would be wise to take stock of $ur present first provide for those whieh are imperative. If it is found that we'eatTcare-fo- r them and also have the library, by all means let the us bave it; but asjn household economies necessities should first be provided for. Our greatest of all needs, we believe it will be universally conceded, is the proposed new water system, from He Witts spring. This, of itself, is a very heavy undertaking, and will involve the imposition of a special tax of from seven to, nine mills for several years to come; according to the plan thSt has1 been proposed and virtually adopted. We believe "the people ar? a unit in their demand that we install the proposed system. Another cherished project, indefinitely post; poned because of the citys inability to bear its share of the eost. is the proposed paving of a few of the principal streets- 'Nor has the city, v apparently, been able to 'continue sidewalk-pain intersections ing across street many districts, becanse of lack of funds. In fact the city seems to be chronically hard up ; so much so that only ahsolutely-jpefessarimprovements can be made. Another prospect that may confront us m thenear future, may be the necessity of erecting a new school building and maintaining a high schools The A. C. is gradually eliminating thejiigh achool courses, and as the Church is somewhat curtailing its expenditures along high school lines, it would cause Rut little surprise if it should cease its duplication of state high school courses and concentrate its funds available for education, upon a limited number ofEorimil schools or colleges.

The world used to have hope, to have courage in the future, to believe in goodness ; now it has only despair, it sees no future, andjill is bad.
