LIBRARY OPENING /
Jamestown Public Library Opens
In New Quarters Tonight
In City Hall.

The Jamestown Free Public Lii
.brary will be open tonight in the new
rooms in the city hall after having
been closed to the public for two
weeks during which time the ladies
of Jamestown have been re-organiz-
ing the library under the supervision
Of Miss Zana Miller, librarian OF the,
state library commission.
The use Of the library has grown SO
that it was felt that simple system
of giving out books was necessary,
especially in the large and attractive
rooms into which it has moved. The
new furniture was purchased with
the money raised last winter by pri-
vate subscription and by various en-
tertainments given by the Musical
club, and the school: The Wednes-
day club, as their part Of the work,
secured q petition to have the library
voted on at the last election. Last
years. council arranged to have the
rooms in the city hall set aside for
library purposes, and the present
council have given an adequate .ap-
propriation. The library was moved
from the old rooms by the school
children in the city hall. They
formed a brigade with light grain
baskets borrowed from Kirk B AL
len. Over 14O0 books and many mag
azines we're moved, without and pre-
vious packing from the old rooms in
to the new in an hour and q quarter.
The hours during which the IL
brary will be open are from 2 30 to 8
every afternoon and from ] to 9:3O
every evening. The use Of the library
is free to all residents Of Jamestown
who will simply have to sign q guar
antee that they will be responsible
. for the return of the books in good
condition. Children will be required
to have their applications signed by
their parents. Everyone is welcome
to Inspect the rooms. Miss Mona
Birdsall has been app pointed tempor-
airy librarian.

TAFT,s oRAToRy

Mr.. Taft has never made any pre-
tence at being an orator, yet there
are few public men who can deliver
q more forcible, effective appeal to an
audience than he. He relies upon
logical discussion mores than upon
rhetorical establishment, sincerity
more than upon beautifully rounded
periods, and honesty and common
sense more than upon tricks of senti-
ment or. phrase. He discussed every
point that he takes up fully and ex-
hausts all OF its possibilities. He in
fuses into his words q tone that
forces one to realize that he knows
what. he is talking about and that he
believes in 1t full as fully as he wants
his auditors to believe. When he
warns up to his subject he forgets
everything excepting that he is there
to utter something that he thinks
his listeners ought to hear, and SO es-
tablishes sympathetic bond that is
effective, even after he has ceased,
and produces an indelible impression.
ssWhat Taft says sinks in; you re-
member It, and the more you think
Of it the more reasonable 1T seems, +"
said q Washington newspaper man
recently.
Mr.. Taft uses few gestures, and
those usually employ the right hand.
only, witha sweep Of the arm when
lie desires to, impart extra emphasis
to . point. Oftener than not he is
apt to keep his left hand In his tron-
;ser's pocket. He Smiles often, and
his blue eyes are always alight with
feeling. Some times just before he
begins, while he is waiting to be in-5
.troduced, he will close his eyes and

SENATOR BEYERIDGE
Spoke a Few Words on lnjunc-
tons in Car End Speech
at Fargo.

Every law for labor that has been
passed in the past fifty years without
a single exception has been made by
the republican party. 1t was the re-
publican party that passed the Chi
nese cooley exclusion law; the law
compelling railroads to adopt safety
appliances for the protection Of their
employees; the meat inspection law;
the pure food law.
ssAnd by the way it was your own
Senator McCumber who has had
much If not more to do with getting
the pure food law on the statute
books than any other one man.
{. ssI know Mr.. Bryan and like him
very much but the trouble with Mr..
Bryan is that he wants to always do
everything at the same time. Now
when you want to build a house you
build it one Erick at a time and this
is the way to get reforms.
"The republican party has been
lettering the laboring mans condi-
tion for the past fifty years and they
are going to continue to better it but
it is an impossibility to do it all at
once.
Before Taft has been in the White
House a year, and he is going to be
in the White House next year, there
will be law passed changing the in
junction law so that both the labor.
ing man and the corporation will
have the same show. Every man
should have his day in court and the
republicans propose to pass law in
which no injunction will issue un-
til the man against whom the injunc-
tion is proposed has a hearing.
Mr.. Bryan proposes q destruction
of the injunction law which would
be extremely disasterous to the la
boring man and would simply benefit
the corporation. go
He says that If the law is violated
that there should be a trial by jury
before an injunction issues. Don't
you see that that woulG be playing
right into the hands of the corpora
stions. Why they would raise hum
dred and one objections and keep
:lawing for years. A corporation can
do that! they can law a poor man
to death but a poor man cannot go
to law. -.

sidewalk along the east side of the
block Is and joining the Lutz build
ing and the Canham lots, completed
as previously ordered, in order to Sc
cure convenient walk to the depot
and the south side of the track. The
petition was signed by G. I. Feton
and l3 others. In considering the Pc
tition it was stated that the weather
which will permit cement sidewalk
construction this season is not likely
to be of long duration, and the ce-
ment contractor having all the work
he can do, it is possible that some
work may not be reached this fall,
altho if weather permits an effort
will be. made to have all work or
dered done. In the case the above
work was done this fall the cross
walk at5the north end of the block
could not be put down, as the city is
short Of money for that purpose. The
city is laying its own cement walk
around the city hall and cement floor
in the fire hall, in order to get same
completed before winter.
