Mr.. Bryan, in criticising a recent

Mr.. Bryan, in criticising a recent
utterance of President Mckinley,
said:
sThe president says that congress
will perform for them a government
that will bring blessings. If you will
take that sentence and change the
word congress- to parliament, and
then put 'colonists' where you would
put 'Filipinos' in the sentence it
would be exactly the language of
George III. when he confidently
believed that parliament would give
the colonists good government.
'If you would take that sentence
and in place of congress put 'cortes,
and in place of 'Filiplnos' put
'Cubans,' you have speech that
would have done credit to the Spanish
monarchy when we interfered to pro-
tect the people of Cuba.
"This is the first time when a presi-
dent of the United States has openly
abandoned the declaration of indepen-
dence and looked to force or to pur-
chase as foundation for title.
'They tell us we have a good title
to the Philippines by buying it from
Spain. All, my friends, you can't buy
a title to 100000 Filipinos. You
can't buy it from discredited
monarch after we ourselves armed the
Filipinos to fight, against the
monarch

LIBRARY COMMISSION.
State librarian brigham Recom-
mends One In His Biennial Re-
port to the Governors.

State Librarian johnson Brigham, in
his biennial report just filed with the
governor, discusses the question and
recommends the creation of a library
commission for the state, relative to
which the general assembly has made
Investigations from time to time, and
says:
Though the state, through its librarian,
with the aid of his competent associates, is
abundantly able to carry on the travelling
library department and to extend its opera
tons far beyond present attachments, yet
1t becomes clearer to me with every
months experience that the true library
policy of the state is, rather, to stimulate
the library spirit in the hundreds-yes,
thousands-of Iowa communities which at
| the present time are without public Ii
braries; to inaugurate methods of country
and district exchange and distribution, and
to stimulate to activity the hundreds of
cities of the second class that have not yet
taken advantage of the excellent local IL
brary law already on our statute books.
In my judgment, such policy should not
be so carried out as to revolutionize the
present system, which, so far as it has gone,
has done and Is doing much good, and can
be extended much farther with certainty of
increasing benefits. 1t should rather be
developed as an outgrowth Of the present
| system, the adoption of purpose to
strengthen and elevate our local commune
| ty life, rather than an extension of the pres
ent beneficial system beyond the point of
| healthful stimulation to local library spirit.
therefore look with favor on the proposed
measure"
