the history Of progress made pos
sible by the sacrifices Of the few for
the many. If Redwood Falls had a
hundred like the few the future his
tory would be that Of great progress
and achievement. It will not fail,
it must grow but its results will not
be as complete and splendid as they
might be with more general sup
port from inside and outside the
city.
The quetion is frequently asked:
How does it pay? 1t pays in oppor-
tunity given to those who need it.
It pays as great moral and educa-
tional force in the city. It pays in
character it is building up among
our youngsters. Those who ques-
ton it are as rule those who never
visit it and who know but little Of
its work and influence. It pays for
the country as well as for the town.
AS a moral, corrective force in the
community it is only second to the
churches and the schools and with a
1.-THE of the financial support that
either receives it would not be a
bad second.
1t is not plaything for the child
of the wealthy but a tool in the hand
of any boy or girl, no matter how
poor or friendless. with the ambi-
ton to use it. If the doubters will
visit the library room almost any
Friday or Saturday evening they
will find it used by the boys and
girls from the country who are
drawn to this town by it's excellent
schools and who are in many cases
the leaders of their classes and used
to supplement and aid their work
at the high school. Our library is
the best friend the ambitious poor
boy or girl has, whether a resident
of the city or not, while here to
attend school. If rightly under
stood the men and women in humble
circumstances, who desire for their
children advantages denied to them
in youth, would be the staunch sup
porters of the institution which is
throwing open to their children
some of the advantages their wealth.
Ter neighbors can afford to buy for
their homes. The library is mainly
supported by taxes paid by the
bankers and merchants while It's
benefits are shared by all.
When this is fully understood there
will be no question of whether the
library shall be kept up and sup
ported.
When this is known those outside
will vie with residents in not only
using but aiding to make it one of
the strong institutions of the city.

Former state examiner S. T. John
son makes definite charge that the
alleged conspiracy of the trust and
Wall street crowd to precipitate a
withdrawal of the nations currency
and thus discredit the Roosevelt adj
ministration is no idle rumor, but
that the interests deliberately
planned the trouble. He says that
the Standard Oil crowd are more
than suspected of precipitating the
trouble, and that they unquestion-
ably turned it to advantage in nu-
merous stock deals. Those people
who would confer a halo for Rookie
teller and Morgan as the financial
saviors of the country had better

A Taft Brand of Peace.

In the Philippines, Mr.. Taft has
just witnessed the opening Of the
first elected legislature. Naturally
the man who was the first American
governor of those islands received a
warm greeting. Regardless of what
the future may have in store for
this man, his fame is secure and
permanent, for when the future
historian shall write the history of
Americas insular possession. no
name will be bigger" than that of
William Howard Taft.
1t will be seen, therefore, that
Mr.. Taft is also Americas secretary
of peace as we'll as of war. His
work in Cuba and in the Canal Zone
has been that Of a secretary of
peace. But the Taft brand of peace
must always be that of peace with
honor, for he believes in keeping
the powder dry" He favors strong
ly increasing our insular protection,
for he believes it to be the most
effectual policy that this country
can adopt to preserve peace.
Here is his advice to China: ITO
develop the resources Of China and
to improve the welfare of her people
will add to her strength and position
as a self-respecting nation and aid
her in preparing to resist possible
aggression in the seeking Of undue
and exclusive proprietary privileges.
Thus no foreign aid will be required
to enforce the open door," In this
bit of advice many will find an an
swer to the question, "Why is the
American fleet going to Pacific wat
ers?" the protection of American
interests in China.
It was several years ago when
Roosevelt was vice-president that he
said of Taft, He combines the
qualities that would make a first
class president of the United States
with the qualities that would make
him first-class chief justice Of the
United States" A less famous but
not one bit less competent critic
said practically the same thing more
forcibly. if not so elegantly, big
Bill fills the bill every time" JAS.

Minnesota not only wins out in
butter competitions with other
states, but last week scored sue
cesses at the Chicago fat stock show.
About $1,000 in prizes was won by
the exhibit made by the Minnesota
college of agriculture, the winning
herds being four Aberdeen Angus
steers, three Hereford and two grade
steers. In addition to the prize
money, the exhibit will bring to
Minnesota large part of the thir-
teen prize scholarships distributed
by j. Ogden Armour on the basis
of cash premiums won.

Christmas will be sorrowful time
in the families of those West Vir-
ginia miners who were entombed
lest Friday from the effect of an
explosion of a mysterious nature.
The first explosion was followed al
most simultaneously by a second,
the reports being heard eight miles
away. Four hundred miners were
working the two mines destroyed,
and very few were rescued alive.
1t is supposed that the explosion
was caused by dust or an accumula-
ton of gases.

The Library.

Redwood Falls was fortunate IN
the selection and membership of its
first board of directors. Mayor
Cooper could not have selected a
better board than he appointed to
found and build public library.
By the close work of j. A.
Schmahl, Redwood first secured the
$4,000 to build with. Mr.. F. L.
Warner owned the present site and
was willing to turn it over to the
city for practically what it had cost.
Mr.. Gold, never a member but al
ways friend Of the board, was
largely instrumental. in inducing the
city fathers to purchase the site.
The net result was that our city has
not only central and accessible site
but beautiful one that with the
new Christian church gives Redwood
Falls a civic center of public and
semi-public buildings that cannot be
duplicated in the state among the
smaller cities.
The building may not be the best
$4,000 building in the state but Will
rank well up among the leaders.
The writer thinks it has no superior
in its class.
Mesdames Bowers, Finn and Bell
solicited the town and turned in
neat sum for books and these ladies
with S. J. Race selected good
working library. The fact that Mr..
Race approved of the list is enough
to show it was a good one. Thus
the library started out with fine
building and a fair working list of
books. Unber the leadership of it's
new president. Mrs. Robinson, there
is no doubt that the good work of
the past will.be kept up.
The library has been enriched by
the donation Of many good booksl
Among others C. F. Apitz has been
a liberal contributor and has in mind
another valuable donation.
H. M. Hitchcock, the original bib
liomaniac of the town, has always
helped get books at publishers
prices and the library is much larg-
.er and stronger for his unselfish
work both when outside and later
while on the board.
The library has been exceptionally
fortunate in it's choice of Librarians.
Miss Martin was called from here
for larger work and Miss Fernald
has, since leaving here, risen rapidly
in the ranks Of librarians of the
state. Our present librarian is the
equal of either and the city has
been fortunate in being able to keep
her thus long. The librarian is the
life of the Institution and its success
depends very largely on the amount
of work done by this officer, work
for which as a rule not enough
credit is given.
The financial acumen of Mr.. Bald
win, the faithful service of Tomp-
kins and Warner of the original
board has always been at the service
of the board and has been invalu-
able. Mr.. Hingeley, the newest re-
cruit and the latest infant in the
class has already proved himself a
pillar of strength. Mrs. Bowers and
Messrs. Race. Schmahl and Laudon
of former members have left the
book lovers of the town under last
ing obligations.
Like all librarians ours has been

Mr.. Carmack, who Was d lso \ y 4 res ].
ing the Chair MI. CarInaok said I
"Mr. President, ]. was not in the
chamber in the early part Of the
speech made by the Senator fron,
South Carolina, (Mr., Tillman.) ! T be-
lieve that no Senator here has given
more frequent or severer5 provocation
for retort here than the Senator from
South Carolina has done, and no SEN
ator has complained more often or
more bitterly Of having been made
the victim Of offensive remarks. No
Senator upon either side Of the cham
ber has ever made remarks about the
Senator from South Carolina as stu
diosuly offensive rs the Senator from
South Carolina without provocation
whatever has seen fit to make of a
number Of his colleagues in this
chamber. aE"
"The Senator from South Carolina
saw fit to include me in his personal
remarks with any provocation what
ever so far as L can judge. I have
no feeling of resentment toward the
Senator from South Carolina, for
without making any personal appli
cation [ wish to say that with respect
to some men it is misfortune rather
than fault that they do not know
how to speak the language of courtesy
and good feeling.
Not Surprised at Retort.
"The Senator from South Carolina
saw fit to allude to the fact that [
had been defeated for reelection. It
was a retort SO obvious, so easily
within the reach of the most grovell-
ing controversial faculty that [ am
not surprised that it should have
been suggested 10 the intelligence Of
the Senator from South Carolina.
"The Senator from South Carolina
did not need to lift his belly from
the dust to attain TO the height Of that
great retort. I believe it to be true,
Mr.. President, and I say it with
pride, that the fact that my service
terminate is q matter of regret to
nearly every Senator upon this side |
of the chamber, and believe to most
of the Senators upon the other side
of the chamber. I doubt very much
whether that could be truthfully said
with respect to either side if the SEN
ator from South Carolina were in my
position.
"Alr. President, the Senator from
South Carolina says that my spear, is
broken, and that I have taken gar

cable across Salt river at the head of
the Extension canal and today expects
to have the larger cable across and the
tower erected. BY Friday he expects
TO be dropping big rocks into the river

Friday will be Washington's birthday
and this will be a fitting recognition
of the event. 1t Is hoped that by the
time congress adjourns the dam will
be far enough under way to begin
turning water into the canal but it
may be a week or ten days later before
the dam will be high enough
To divert sufficient amount

the new dam. built to divert water for
all the canals, will be approximately
