Ordinance to def ne what is unlawful
The courier., 1901-08-10

An exchange says that a Nebraska
editor dreamed that he died and, OF
course. went to heaven. He knocked at
the golden gate and was promptly ad-
mitted. After spending several hours
taking in the sights Of the city he came
upon man in chains. This greatly
surprised him, so he inquired of St.
Peter il they had to punish men in
heaven. "Oh." said the good saint.
that man is just from Nebraska and we
always have to chain Nebraskans to
keep them from going back"

that instrument, and had written
two very creditable light operas, THE
Wizard of the Nile" and "The Sere-
made"
The first of these two in melodic
quality was certainly superior To any
comic opera that had been originated
in this country for many years. The
Instrumentation was broad and skill
full and the opera was rich in naif
and catchy arias. The first thing Mr..
Herbert did after he took charge Of
the orchestra was to enlarge it from
sixty TO eighty pieces, putting in a
large portion of brasses, which he
declared indispensable to the produc-
tion of Wagnerian music. The trick
Of the ex bandmaster," as Frederick
Archer, the Organist, cOntemptuOusly
declared.
From business point Of view. Mr..
Herberts dictatorship has been a
most successful one. He is good
business man and born manager of
men. His musicians swear that he's
the best fellow in the world and the
most generous. He has helped the
orchestra to get clear of debt and to
make money. He has discharged his
duties faithfully and yet found time
to swell his private income by writing
such execrable musical nonsense as
The Ameer,' "The Fortune Teller"
and "The Singing Girl" besides sew
eral orchestral suites and one sym.
phonic poem, "HerO and Leandar,"
which abound in cleverneSs, yet
totally lack any reason for existence.
The truth of the matter is simply
that Herbert is wholly mercenary and
is in no sense a conscientious music
ian. With the constitution and ami
NAL energy of the Irish giants who
may have been his direct ancestors,
he is able to eat and drink and work
enormously without showing any evil
dences of wear and tear.
An organizer. a clever workman and
a good citizen the man surely is, but
to ask for inspired composition or for
,-frgeproachable Interpretation from
him is, to reverse Charles Lambs
simile, like asking for champagne at d
mutton shop.

raj beauty leads us to the increasing
ugliuess OF the modern city from which
the contamination spreads. Henry B.
Fuller, the novelist. few months ago
suddenly awoke to find himself a nation
al issue, as the outcome Of frank talk
on American art. He expressed the
opinion that the American people were
essentially inartistic. He went further
and said that the entire English speak
ing people were unesthetic and con-
cluded by saying that the Anglo Saxon
mind had no conception OF art separated
from ethical considerations.
This brought forth protests most bit.
ter from the whole northern race-and
became an astonishmeut to the gentle
pessimist-who only expected to reach
the limited group to whom he talked.
Among other things Mr.. Fuller based
his assertions upon was the ugliness OF
American cities; not only upon their
lack Of good art but their amazing sam
pies OF bad art. And what patriotic cit
izeD does not resent criticism OF his
city?
But much to our delight we find that
the American people are becoming more
and more Interested in municipal art
the aim OF which is to realize that dream
OF the artist and poet-the city besuti-
full.
There is much in our cities that is
beautiful and we'll worthy OF preserva.
tion, but is so surrounded by distract;cg
elements that we often fail to see it,
The first step. therefore. is to remove
these distractions so that we can take
an inventory OF what is really available
for the construction of the city beauti-
full.
Municipal reformers have already
taken up the question OF clean streets
and smokeless chimneys with some hope
of success.
And We women, while strongly second.
ing their efforts can turn our attention
to more neglected questions.
Perhaps the most distracting OF all
these nuisances that mar the appear
ance of our streets are the signs and
signboards. While walls are covered
whole houses are besmeared with hide
GUS hues, and the high billboards full Of
glaring posters the mos. offensive fea-
lures are those which display in PROM
inent way nude figures.
Ii may be difficult to some to under
stand why we object to these and ad-
mire the beautiful classic lines as dIs-
played by the masters brush. and hung
on the walls Of our art galleries. The
latter inspire no impure thoughts. for
We are only conscious Of beautiful col
oring and graceful lines; these only, ,sp-
peal to our love OF the beautiful, while
IN the poster it is demoralizing, as it ap
peals to the baser feelings. IL has been
said by one, The graceful form Of wo-
man may be made to picture Madon-
ma or Magdalene." We surround our
children with the beautiful and protect
them from the contamination OF bad
books by our watchful care. but We can
not protect them from the harmful in-
fluence OF the glaring poster on the bill
boards that confront him on every side,
and we, therefore. question the right it
has has to Haunt itself before the pub
lie. We think the crusade against IT is
a most just one and should be carried
on most earnestly by our club women
until it be made to conform with the
most rigid ideas OF decency or else COM
pelled to go.

A following comprehensive report of
the twenty-third annual meeting Of the
American Library association, contrib
uted by the state librarian, Mrs. Stout
enborough. will be OF interest to club
workers:
The association has not met in the
middle west since 1893, but the progress
made in library work in this section dur
ing the past few years seemed to beck
on" to the eastern librarians to come
west and interchange ideas and expert
ences-not over the teacups, but over a
glass of the famous Waukesha springs
water.
Waukesha is an ideal place for meet
ing; and Fountain Spring House, with
it's wide halls, beautiful parlors and
grand porches, was selected as head
quarters for the A. LA. The general
sessions and section as we'll as the COM
mittee meetings we're all held at the
hotel, and the management sparea no
pains to give their seven hundred and
fifty library guests a good time.
1T doesn't look as though the country
was going to the dogs because of the
lack of library privileges, | overheard

magnificent sum of Sl6,130, 220.12 has
beer distributed this year in 405 sepa-
rate gifts; 394 in thirty-nine OF the Uni
ted States. nine in the British provinces
and two in Scotland. The amount so
vastly increased over that Of last year is
largely due to the munificent gifts of
Andrew Carnegie. His gifts alone ag-
gregate sl1, ,2l9, 800.
The transfer of the John Carter
Brown library to Brown university by
the trustees Of the Brown estate, is one
of the important library events OF the
year. This library contains one Of the
finest collections OF Americana in this
country. 1t is estimated that the library
is worth 81 100000. and carries with it
legacies of s65O,OOO for endowment fund
and library building.
The topic which seemed to bring out
the warmest discussion was Trustee
ship of Literature" Mr.. George lies OF
New York and DIR. Richard L. Ely of the
University of Wisconsin addressed the
general assembly on opposite sides OF
the question. At the close of their pa
pers general discussion followed which
lasted until the hour OF adjournment.
MIR. lies supported the plan of trustee
ship, saying that great many people
waste much valuable time in reading
worthless works, when proper system
of trusteeship would post them as to
what books would he OF value to them
and what ones they should let alone.
He also thought criterion could be
established for the selection of library
books, stating which should be used in
Libraries with reference to topics.
DR.. Ely objected especially to this
plan. Have we," said DR.. Ely. "a judic-
ial body of men who could render these
estimates?r He spoke of the frequent
narrowness and prejudice OF book re-
viewers. ABOVE all things" he said.

The most interesting public meeting
(at least to the club women) was held
Wedn ssday morning. July 10. At this
meeting papers were read on the infiu-
ence Of women's work in library schools,
and how to secure state library commits
siuns. Mrs. f. j. Dockery, secretary OF

the members OF our legislature were only

men had failed before to interview him.
The women who were interested in
House Roll No. 2, in Nebraska, during
our last legislature, would tell differ
ent story.
Mr.. I. l.. Montgomery OF Philadel-
phia, told how they passed a library
bill through the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture.
The bill had been put off from time to
time. 1t was the last session. Many
of the members Of sober stand
ing-were asleep. and those who were
not included in this list had taken "a
wee drop too much" AS the rolls OF
names was called off, an insignificant
looking little man, over in one corner OF
the room, called off. from time to time,
an AYE" which was duly recorded by
the clerk. When the vote was announced
it stood 127 affirmative.
"Well," said the little man over in the
corner, I'VE only needed l07-that is
what call OVERRIDING it,"
Mrs. Ii. M. Youmans Of Waukesha,
president OF the Wisconsin state fedora
ton of clubs, spoke Of the proud place
that Wisconsin holds in library work,
through the patient labor Of club wo-
men.
Mrs. L. A. Stearns Of Milwaukee, the
pioneer woman OF the northwest in the
travelling library movement, gave some
personal "reminiscences. which were most
interesting.
Before adjournment an invitation from
Portsmouth, England. was read, urging
the members of the A. l.. A. to attend
their annual session the coming fall.
The invitation comes from the library
association Of the United Kingdom.
There was memorial to the late John
Fiske, which was as follows:
The news having reached US OF the

FROM MEMORY'S RIVER.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Not every air that a master compose:
Can thrill human heart strings
with pleasure or pain;
But strange, simple chords,
like the scent of the roses,
Breathe out Of some measures,
tho simple the strain.
And 10 ! when you hear them
you love them and fear them,
You tremble with anguish;
you thrill with delight;
For back Of them slumber
old dreams without number,
And faces long vanished
peer out into sight.
Some airs are like outlets
Of memory's ocean;
They rise in the past
and flow into the heart;
And down them float shipwrseks
Of mighty emotions,
All sea soaked and storm tossed
and drifting apart.
Their fair timbers battered,
their lordly sails tattered,
Their skeleton crews Of dead days
On their decks;
Then a crash of chords blending
crisis = an ending
The music is over,
and vanished the wrecks.
