procured a very fine oil painting OF
Alexander Campbell and 1t will be un-
veiled in the historical building and
presented to the state of Iowa on June
20. Curator Harlan is in hopes that
other denominations will recognize the
fitness of the situation and will pre-
sent oil paintings of the early founders
of their churches and especially Of the
men who were founders of the denom-
ination in this state. Father Nash who
was the pioneer Baptist preacher, Rev.
DIR. Salter and others, should be thus
honored.
Next Thursday the portrait of Fred
Douglas will be unveiled in the his
torical building and during the sum-
mer Curator Harlan has promise of re-
ceiving number of paintings OF per-
sons who have been prominent in the
early history of the state of Iowa.
The National Library Association
will meet at Lake Minnetonka June %
to 81. 1t will be attended by State Lii
brarian Johnston Brigham, State Law
Librarian Small. Miss Alice Tyler sec
retary of the Iowa Library Commission
and Miss Brown, who is in charge OF
the circulating part of the library COM
mission work All of these will take
part in the program.
1t is possible that the school law re-
vision commission may decide that
some library training in the use OF
books shall be required of every school
teacher in Iowa. During the few years
that the law requiring the purchase OF
books for the schools has been in force
there have been purchased 373.12s
books down to the close of the year
1907 But many of these books are
never used and the bulk Of them are
little used THE trouble is." said a
person today who is interested in the
library question. "the school teachers
Of the state are already loaded down
with the requirements for passing the
examinations but at the same time
none or very few Of them have had
any training in the use of books as
librarian is trained Many of them do
not know the difference between an in
dex and contents. They buy books
and the books stay on the shelves from
one year to another unused. 1t would
be great help If some training along
the line of the use Of books was re-
quired at each teachers county insti-
tute."

National Association on Record as
Willing to Co Operate in Eliminating
Abuses Of Retail Trade - Deny That

age Lawlessness.

Milwaukee, June 10.-The Cnfeed
States Brewers association today
adopted a set of resolutions declar-
ing sympathy for and cooperation
with any movement looking to the pro-
motion of habits OF temperance IN the
use of fermented beverages. They de-
fine temperance as the temperate use,
neither abuse nor disuse, and believe
the temperate use of beer promotes
health and happiness.
Passage and enforcement OF laws FOR
the regulation of the drink traffic ana
keeping such traffic free from unlaw-
full and improper accessories by doing
away with the low class of saloons Is
strongly favored.
Existing evils, however" the resolu-
tions say, "can be eradicated by action
on the part of individuals in the trade
only If they are aided and supported
by public sentiment and suitable laws,
to make 1t impossible for a small
number Of people who mayss not wish
to abide by concerted action OF q
majority of the trade to make such
action futile. The brewers are ready
and anxious to do their share to Co
operate to the extent OF their power IN
the work Of eliminating abuses con-
nected with the retail trade
That the brewers commercial inter-
ests are served by encouraging or con-
niving at lawlessness or that they are
in politics for the purpose OF influence

the immovable conservatism and stol-
idness of the east, misunderstanding
should arise, misunderstanding which
the west with its superior military
and naval organization was not slow
in taking advantage of? The foreign
relations of China in the past have
been one continuous story of relent-
less aggression and helpless resist
ance. There were mistakes and mis-
understandings on both sides. Neither

er tried to misunderstood the other
''But am happy to say that within
the past few years there has been
comp Ste change of attitude at least
on our part in our foreign relations II
not on the part of all other nations.
We have made honest attempts to
study your civilization and have been
convinced that there are many points
in which you are superior to US. cast
ing our traditions and conservatism
to the winds, we are endeavorlng, win
a sincerity and earnestness OF purpose
that do not admit of the least DOUBT,
to adopt and assimulate your ways or

Of our people, reform that we may yet
live and preserve our nation and race.
Whether it be in the realm of politics
and government. for the investigation
and study Of which a special commits
sion was appointed three years ago
to make tour of the leading nations
of the world or in matters of modern

reorganization, the success of which
was attested by the maneuvers of our
modern troops in the past two years,
or in the development of our resources
and the maintenance Of our post and
communications. or in the fostering or
our domestic and foreign commerce
in short, in every direction. we have
tried hard to place ourselves in line
with the nations OF the west and win
their sympathy and respect. From their
imperial majesties the empress dow
ager, and the emperor, down TO the
humb blest subject, all are working with
might and main to understand and
master the fundamentals OF western
civilization We realize that this is the
age Of internationalisn1 and cosmo-
politanism, and that no nation or race,
however strong and wealthy it may be,
should or would say that 1t is sufff-
cient unto itself and will learn or ac-
cept nothing from others. There Is no
longer an aristocracy of nations or
races but only an aristocracy of gen
ius and education"

champaign, ILL.,, June 10.-The COM
mencement address at the University
Of Illinois was delivered today by Wu
Ting Fang, Chinese minister to the
United States. He said in part:
..When foreigners first came to my
country, they came not with any in
tention of introducing their civiliza-
ton or with any desire Of improving
themselves with study Of ours, but
merely bent on commercial gains -
say when they came. they did not do
cient unto ourselves, we were satis-
fed with our own civilization, which
had existed for thousands Of years and
was developed without the assistance
Of outsiders, we did not care to force
ourselves on other people. and we did
not like other people to come and
bother us. Our ports were. neverthe-
less, opened against our will. and
goods including a noxious drug, were
introduced into our country. Along
with the products of the factory and
the workshop were introduced a
strange culture and strange ideas,
which however excellent they may be,
bore nevertheless the stamp of an
alien civilization. We objected to the
subversion Of our ancient institutions,
teachings and politics, which we be-
lieve were the embodiment Of the best
and highest civilization in the world.
For centuries my country held the
lordship of eastern Asia, all the neigh
boring countries acknowledging our
superiority and paying annual tribute.

strange that with the irresistible adj
vance Of the forces ck the west and

sovereigns mutually expressed wish
that the meeting would be the happy
result of drawing the two countries
closer together and promoting the
maintenance Of the general peace OF

this meeting in Russia would be fol-
lowed shortly by visit OF the Russian
emperor to England. Among other
courtesies the king appointed Nicholas
