PUBLIC OPINION .

(Prize-winning Editorial)

Strange are the ways of Public
Opinion, In her varying moods she
becomes a saviour of mankind or a
destroyer of that which by her own
demand she was saved.

Today a yampire, tomorrow a saint;
& Trojan in her demands for what to-
day 1s heralded as right, as fickle as
a Cleopatra when tomofrow's multi-
tudes declare that right was not right.
Brave as a roaring lion and yet as
cowardly as a skulking wolf which
as been separated from the pack,
Virtue-laden when Puritanic idealism
po: the land, she turns cham-
elion when that idealism takes wings
x vanishes away. Intolerant and
yet a persecutor of the intolerant.

uch is Public Opinion,
__ She wears « halo to light her path
d then destroys the very path on
iich she found her way to the light.
1e 18 nO respecter of person, or of
ruth, or of fact, or of historical re-

elation, or of prophetic vision; lover
of truth and hater of the application
of truth, She strugfles through the

“ars for the accomplishment of a
great ideal, then in a day deserts the
deal and sees her own tollowers sut-
fer the agonles which are certain to

folly. Such is

Public Opinion,

us cause; tomorrow she has turned

CONSTRUCTION STARTS UPON
UNION LIBRARY BUILDING HERE

Carpenters are at work this week
renovating and enlarging the Abbots-
ford municipal office and library to
accommodate the Fraser Valley re-
sional library centre, which is trans-
ferred here on October 15. Addition
to the present structure is to be 24 ft.
by 26 ft, providing a municipal build-
ing 26 ft. x 54 ft. when completed.

Front of the structure will be occu-
pied jointly, as at present, by the li-
brary and the Corporation, while the
entire addition will be used for ac-
commodation of the $0,000 volumes
and other appurtenances of the Jib-
rary headquarters. Cost of the addi-
tion and renovation will be Jess than
$1,500 and a nominal rent of $25 per
month for the entire library quarters
has been set for the first year.

Librarian Morrigon will take com-
plete charge, and have under him
three women assistants. Peter Gross-
man of Chilliwack will continue to
Operate the truck. Wage disburse-
ments amount to $9,000 annually in
addition to maintenance and ordin-
ary operation expenditures Two fam-
and three ladies come here as
“local residents’ with this change of
headquarters from Chilliwack to Ab-
botsford.

Cc Webster a
banquet, given in the Empress Hotel,
Chilliwack last Friday by the Library
Commissioner, marking transfer of
the assets of the Carnegie library de-
monstration to the Fraser Valley Li-
brary Commission, participated in by~
150 municipal representatives, library
officials and members of various vo-
lunteer library demonstration com-
mittees, Inspector McKenzie repre-
sented the department of education,
and Miss J. Stockett the B. C. Library
Association. Dr. H. Stewart, who
is to initiate a similar library demon-
stration in the Interior shortly, was
accorded an ovation, .

When it became known that the
Library Commission had confirmed
the selection of Abbotsford for the
tral depot, Chilliwack business in-
terests made strong representations in
an effort to retain the facility, which
the Garden City has enjoyed for five
years. Attempts to re-open the sub-
Ject of central location during the ban-
quet were successfully resisted by
Commissioner Webster,
