Is Carbondale Too Small?
Inspired hy the fact that Mr. Car
negie had giwn large sums to libraries
In Emporia and sonic towns In Okla
homa, the library committee at Iota,
wrote to tho great philanthropist usk
ing for a donation, and Carnegie
plunged the iron Into lola's souls by
responding that he never gave to small
towns. Kunsas t'lty Journal.
v Supposing our mayor should corre
sporrd with Mr. Carnegie? We would
know then how large a pIhcc had to be
before It can come within the rule.
Carbondale Leader.
Inasmuch as Mr. Carnegie donated
$20,000 to Port Jorvls only last week, a
city not as large as Carbondale. nnd
a short time ago gave $10,000 to Hag
Harbor, .V. Y a town whose normal
population Is abou. t.iwO peisorib, for
new public libraries, it would seem
that the Umpire city is certainly In a
lass large enough to ask for a gift
Iroin tht library philanthropist. Mayor
Kllpatrlek might write Mr. Cainegle if
he was assured that this city would
live up to the conditions that are ex
acted from all cities where he has en
dowed libraries to expend un annual
sum equal to ten pei cent, of the en
dowment In the care and building up
of the library. Carbondale probably
needs a public Ilbraiy. or the rehabili
tation of its present one, as much ns
any community In tin.- state.
A New Dlsinfectoi.
The hoard of health of this city has
Just Invested In a Lenta formaldehydes
gas dislnfcctoi to use In houses u-i.o.n
contagious diseases have existed. The
new dldlnfector will take the place ot
the old sulphur tumlgatlon. which has
always met with serious objection be
cause of Its unpleasant features and
also because It did not do the work It
was meant to do. The now contriv
ance Is a eiy simple piece of mechan
ism und warranted to kill all bacteria
In un Infected room or house, nnd is
easily manipulated it has not yet
been med by tho health orneers.
