Why Carnegie Pounds Libraries.
(AndreW Carnegie

(Andrew Carnegie)
Il choose free libraries as the best
agencies for improving the masses of
the people, because they give nothing
for nothing. They only help those who
help themselves. They never pauper-
lie. They reach the aspiring, and OPP
en- to these the chief treasures of the
world-those stored up in books. A
taste for reading drives out lower
tastes. Besides this, 1 believe good

Iiefs to the monotonous lives of the
poor. For these and other reasons

TAFT is GIVEN OVATION
BY TRIANGLE CADETS AT
NEW Y. M. C. A. BUILDING

The reception accorded President
Taft at the Young Mems Christian as
sociation at 2:30 o'clock was an ovation.
The building had been elaborately dec
Grated with immense United States
flags, and the Triangle Cadet corps was
drawn up in military array and 100
boys from 12 to 16 years were dressed
in gymnasium suits.
The itinerary was arranged to in
clude' the Y. M. c. A. building, because
this is pronounced the finest building of
the institution in the world. President
Arthur Let's saw President Taft per-
sonally in Washington last spring, and
the board of directors followed up Mr.
Let's personal interview with the pres
ident with a request of the local COM
mittee. President Taft is regarded as
a great friend of the Y. NJ. c. A, and
besides laying the corner stone of the
new $1,0O0,000 building in San Francis
co last week, has taken part in exer-
cises opening more buildings than any
other man in the country. AS the au-
tomobile of the president swung into a
full view of the building, crowded and
decorated, he waved his hat as he took
in the compliment paid him in this
demonstration, and smiled a typical
Taft smile upon the military cadets and
gymnasium boys.

der the command of Captain of Detec-
tives Paul Flammer. Whenever the
automobile occupied by President Taft
came to a stop these men would
alight from the autos and take posi-
tions at the edge of the crowds, re-
suming their seats in the automobile
when the parade began to move.
That the crowds were good-natured
ones, bent only on getting view of
the president and cheering him is evil
dent from the fact that there was not
an arrest for disorderly conduct or
disturbance of any kind.
When seen yesterday afternoon
Chief of Police Dishman expressed
himself as being highly gratified at
the manner in which the plans were
carried out without the slightest
hitch.
Chief Dishman stated that much of
the success which attended the police
arrangements for the handling of the
crowds is due to the untiring efforts
of Sheriff Hammel, who rendered the
police department every assistance in
his power.

PRESIDENT SEES CHANCE
TO AID FREE HARBOR BY
EXTENDING BREAKWATER

AS soon as President Taft saw the
outer harbor he recognized it's possi-
bilities for deep water anchorage, and
as the launch with his party neared
the breakwater his enthusiasm rose.
You should have this extended to
make a fine harbor," he exclaimed,
waving his hand toward the break
water. 1T would give you a splendid
port"
Members of the party assured him
that such an extension following the
eight-fathom curve down to a point
opposite the Long Beach pier would
give a deep water harbor with a safe
holding ground of eight square miles,
suitable for the largest ships in the
world and for docks 1000 and 5000 feet
long. The advantageous nature of the
bottoms, its easy slope and the pro-
tecting influence against all storms of
the breakwater in addition to the nat
ural protection from the San Pedro
hills and Santa Catalina island make
the harbor possibilities great in the
eyes of the consolidation committees
and others who have made special
study of the outer harbor
They were greatly encouraged by the
interest shown by President Taft yes
terday.

SAN DIEGO DELEGATES
GIVE TAFT RELIEF MAP
Committee from Southern City Meets
President at Shrine Club House
Before Beginning of Banquet

Just as President Taft started to en-
ter the Shrine club house prior to the
beginning of the banquet last evening
he was met by delegation from san
Diego, whom he greeted heartily. That
he expected to meet the delegates was
evident from the fact that, as he left
his automobile, he inquired with in
terest:
"Where are the representatives Of
San Diego?"
There was a prompt response. Sen
ator Wright, Colonel Collier, Former
Secretary of the Treasury Lyman j.
Gage and other members of the com
mittee were on hand to meet MN.
In few words Senator Wright pre-
sented to the president miniature re-
lief map of San Diego county, carved
in wood mounted in silver and covered
with seal leather. On the map was
proper inscription calling attention to
the merits of San Diego county.
In reply President Taft declared that
he knew San Diego we'll and made a
touching reference to the death of his
father. who expired there. He then
said good night and started for the
banquet hall.

CROWD SEES PRESIDENT
FROM CITY HALL BALCONY

At the city hall the steps and the
balconies were crowded with specta-
tors as the presidents automobile
passed. When it reached the hall there
were almost as many cheers for Mayor
Alexander, who sat with the president,
as there We're for Taft.
During the time the parade was pass
ing the city employees and officials did
not pretend to do any work. Their Of
fees were open and visitors were well
come to come in and wait until there
was some one to supply their wants.
The big balcony at the city hall is one
of the best places to view a parade
anywhere on the usual line of march,
and it is always crowded If only
band marches down the street. 1t was
well filled yesterday and the enthu-
siastic crowd gave hearty welcome
to the president.

CROWDS SAFELY
TAFT PARADE is CARRIED OUT
IN EXCELLENT MANNER
Chief of Police Dishman and Sheriff
HammeI Congratulated by COM
mlttee Who Had Charge
of Ceremonies

Never before in the history of the
Los Angeles police department was
it's efficiency demonstrated better than
in the handling of the crowds at
tendant on the visit of President Taft
yesterday, and Chief Dishman, his
men and Sheriff Hammel were con-
graduated by the committee for the
able manner in which the plans were
executed.
At 7:1O o'clock yesterday morning
Chief Dishman, Sheriff Hammel and
thirty patrolmen under the command
of Lieutenant Murray boarded spe-
cial car and arrived at San Pedro an
hour in advance of President Taft and
his party.
On the arrival of the police party
there was little to be done, as Ser
geant Smith, who is in command of
the San Pedro substation, had roped
off the boat landing, wired the streets
through which the presidents party
passed and had the police boat patrol
ing the harbor and keeping it clear of
boats.
The men under Lieutenant Murray
took positions along the landing and
in the streets through which the par
ty passed, and with but little effort
the harbor town.
When the president appeared twen-
ty-seven marines from the revenue
cutter McCulloch formed two lines
at the landing and brought their guns
to a salute when President Taft passed
between the lines.
After having performed the duties
assigned them Lieutenant Murray and
his thirty patrolmen boarded special
car for Los Angeles, and arrived in
the city ahead of the presidents par
ty. They Immediately went to the
Plaza and remained there until the
parade had passed. They then went to
the residence of President Tafts sis
ter, Mrs. William A. Edwards, 260O
West Adams street, where they
formed lines about the place and re-
mained on duty until relieved by Ser
CANT Benedict and thirty patrolmen,
who will remain on duty until 8
o'clock this morning.
Streets Are Guarded
On the downtown streets men under
Captain Lehnhausen guarded the
district from First street north on
Broadway to the high school. Ser
geant Butler with thirty men looked
after the crowds along the line of
parade, and as fast as the parade
moved from street to street he would
station his men along the line of
march, so that at all times he would
have his squad where the crowds were
the thickest.
At the Polytechnic high school Cap
tain Bradish and Lieutenant Haupt
were in command of squads and did
excellent work in handling the crowds.
In the pilot autos which preceded
the troop of cavalry directly in ad-
vance of the automobile occupied by
President Taft We're patrolmen under

BAKERSFIELD ABLAZE IN
SPITE OF FIRM ORDERS
President Greeted with Flare of Rock
cts and Roar of Bombs at Kern
County Metropolis

BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 1.-THE pres
ident had an unusual Sunday expert
ence here last night, which gave those
attached to his party, especially the
secret service men, a great deal of
concern.
DESPITE instructions sent ahead that
no fireworks should be used at any
celebration, the presidents train rolled
into the city to the accompaniment of
a flare of rockets and Roman candles
and exploding bombs. Some of the
rockets, badly directed, whizzed along
the ground, and one broke within
fifty feet of the president. The presi-
dent declared the reception was en-
tirely unexpected and made little
speech.
