We want to wee a good Library ewteb-
lished in Summerside, a library that will
cvituin books suited to the wndepraved
tastes ofall, Let no one make his pe-
culiar taste the standard for all, but let
every one by a wise liberality, make due
provision for the ratification of tastes
diferent from bis own, Let there be
History and Philosophy for the thoaght-
ful, Voyages and Travels for the enter-
prising and curious, Religion for the
devout, Pootry for the imaginative,
Romance for the young and sentimental,
and good old fashioned Stories for the!
little ones. We repeat, that we heartly |
wish there was a Library established, not
only in Summerside, but in every School
District in the Island. We are quite
satisfied that if we were a reading people,
we would soon become a happicr and a
richer people. Will not seme of our en-
terprising and public spirited fellow towns-
men, set about forming a Library in the
Town without delay. If we were rich
we woull— —but we are not, so
there is no use in talking.

OUR POLITICS,

As nearly every ove in these days is
tulking polities, we intend to have our say
too. What we want to say is, that the
SUMMERSIDE JOURNAL has no potities—it
belongs to no party. It does not wear
the colors of any faction, It does not belong
to the Conservative Party, the Liberal
Party, or to the Middle Party. It is, and
jutends to remain, perfectly neutral. We
do not pretend to say that we have person-
ally—out of the editorial chair-—no politi-
cal leanings, vo party likings and predilee-
tions; we haye them of course, but what
we Wish to tell the readers of the JourNAL
is that we dont intend to trouble them
with them, We have made up our minds
to keep them to ourselves, Like our opin-
ions on free will, predestination, the ritu-
wistic question, &e., we look upon them
as our own private property, aid haye not
the remotest intention of thrusting: them
down our subsreibers’ throats, Still, we
reserve to ourselves the privilege of ad-
yocating all measures which we consider
may tend to the public good, and of de-

tempt to encourage them, ‘Their course

to that which can be gained from the
perusal of some work of genius. Most
pleasure produce satiety, and leave both

reading, is a pleasure which grows by
| what it feeds upon, ‘The more you read
the better youlike reading, and the more
intellectual strength you put forth, the
stronger do your powers of mind become.
| How much of the good that might be de-
/rived from sermons, lectures and speeches,
is lost for the want of intellectual train-
ingin the hearers! Not being accus-
tomed to follow an argument link by
link, and to see the bearing of one part of
a subject upon another, most of our pulpit
prevlections and platform orations, and
perhaps we may add newspaper articles,
are at best but very impertectly appre-
ciated,
quires almost an equal amount of
mental power, and as great a fixedness of
atieution, to understand a book, as to
compose one, With this we cordially
agree. What requires deep and patient
thought to excogitate, requires deep and
