Why We Need a Public Library.

A marked interest has lately mani
tested Itself among the people of ON
city in the question Of ESTABLISHING nnh
lie library. There seems to be CROWN
sentiment that Watert0wD shall mo-
much longer have the odious distinctinr
OF being the only city of Wisconsin will
public library. '' A>
The following are few of the man,
Dement'S that would result from a public
library in our city;
l. In general, it may be said that a
public library, to which everybody NAV
go to read and get books tends mor2
than any other Institution which it is
possible to establish to lessen the une-
quail opportunities of life. No institu-
tlon IS more democratic. Such a libra
ry gives to all an equal chance to read
instructive and interesting books.
2. A public library affords the best
opportunity for seif-education. for ali
who may desire it. There are many
bright and ambitious young people in
our city who have not the means to at
tend college or other higher institu-
tions OF learning, but who long to imnroye
their condition in life. To sucb the
public library would be a great helm
The school opportunities of MANY hoys
and girls are limited What boon il is
for such, if with the help of the puhlie
library they can continue their ednea-
tion after school years are past.
8. All intelligent people have Occa-
sion at times, to seek information on
subjects In which they are particularly
interested. Let the interest be in me-
chanlcs, architecture, electricity, eco
nomIcs, politics, history, literature and
other Important subject, the public Ii
brary is the place where the information
may be obtained. Would it not he a
good thing to have at hand the means by
which the better interests Of life NAV
be satisfied?
4. Our young people should be brought
under all possible influences for good
and one Of these influences is n1hIic
library. The only way to get the bovs
and girls to abstain from reading the
trashy and vicious literature Which
gives them distorted views of life and
which may have very evil effects. is by
giving them something better to read.
This public libary would do. The
early cultivation OF a taste for good
desire for the bad.
5. An opportunity to'get goodrea ding
matter Will greatly aid our schools
both public and private in the work of
instruction. The library reading of
pupils should be largely under the
direction of their teachers and be made
to supplement the work OF the school.
e. A public library would give to
young and old the best recreative read
ing. A good book is the best means to
divert the mind from the daily cares
and drudgeries of life.
Z The best thoughts that have come
to great minds, the finest utterances
that have been spoken and the noblest
deeds that have been performed are re-
corded in books; and the reading of
such books cannot fail to. influence the
readers character and aspiration.

App cal in the Coal Case.

At its meeting Tuesday night the city
council passed resolution directing
the city attorney to perfect an appeal
from the judgement rendered in favor Of
Oscar A. Cole June II, 1900, and provid-
ing the sum of $500 for expenses and
for assistant counsel. The judgment in
question was rendered by Judge Clement
son in the circuit court at Jefferson. 1t
was review of the action taken by
Judge Grimm in the county Court and
giving the city the o0-acre race
track farm and the 20 acres in the
Seventh ward, which it is claimed the
supreme court held belonged to Oscar A.
Cole. Another matter considered was
the order Of Judge Grimm removing Os-
car A. Cole as one Of the trustees. Both
matters were hecided adversely to the
city. The landed property above men
toned was held by Judge ClementsOn to
belong absolutely to Oscar A. Cole, and
the order removing him as trustee was
also reversed. The case will now go to
the supreme court again.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The suffrage conference OF the con-
stitutional convention yesterday, by q
vote Of SO to 80, struck out all the
compromise plan which gave any
promise of permanent understanding
nature, and fixed January l, 1904 az
the time for the expiration OF the IN
derstandiDg feature.
After this was done the Glass-D Daniel
forces Joined with the Braxton- NJ eredith
contingent in the afternoon, and de-
feated a motion by Judge Green to
strike out tho understanding feature
of the plan entirely. The whole OF the
afternoon was taken up In an informal
discussion OF amendments to the COM
promise plan.
A vote was taken on a motion by
mr. Flood to strike out the three years
poll tax payment prerequisite, and the
9lass-Daniel aud Braxton. Meredith
alignment continued in force and de-
feated it.. thus indicating the final sdop-
ton of the plan, which js a combina.
ton OF the original minority plan, with
features OF the Glass and t1e Stuart
plans incorporated in it.
The impression prevailed last night
that the amended plan will be quickly
disposed OF. Those who have been
fighting the temporary understanding
clause are very much disappointed.
Mr.. Thorn voiced their sentiments
when, In the conference yesterday
afternoon, he said he desired the con-
vention to understand that the adop.
ton of the plan as it had been emascu-
lated was affording no relief from pres
ent conditions, and that those sections
OF the State which had suffered the
darkness of damnstion for twenty
years could feel that They had been
doomed to COZ tinue In That deplorable
condition. Realizing this, he thought
it would be best to strike out the one.
year understanding clause which had
all the odium but brought no relief.
The temporary understanding clanse
practically means that the voter must
be able TO read and interpret the con-
slitution before the registrar of the pre-
cinct where be offers to vote. The
plan, as adopted, also provides that
after January l, 1904. each voter shall
pay q poll tax OF $3.50, and shall make
application 10 his own handwriting,
without the aid ur suggestion Of any
one, setting forth his residence, bis OVID
age, place OF birth, occupation, and
place OF residence at a time two years
prior to offering to register. II further
provides that every voter registered
after January l, 1904, shall prepare and
deposit bis ballot without the aid Of
anyone, but any voter registered prior
January l, 1904, and who is thus
listed on the permanent roll, may be
aided 10 preparing his ballot by such
person ss he may designate.
