or reading room and get the support
of the rest Of the community if not of
the town itself
Books will always be forthcoming
either from the shelves of individual
libraries or from contributions solicited
through various means. The newspa-
pers will always help their town to
gain the financial support of the cit
liens
Many of the libraries already estab-
lished have been founded on gifts of
individuals, some have developed from
subscription libraries, but the majority
are now supported mainly or entirely
by funds appropriated by the city
government a considerable number
are still in the formative stage, this
being true of those for which build
ings are being erected from funds
provided by Mr.. Carnegie and for
several hundred others for which he
will probably provide buildings.
The conditions upon which he pro-
vides funds for the erection of munic-
ipal library buildings are simple. The
city must provide a site, which it may
obtain by gift if it can, and it must
agree to provide annually for the main
tenance of the library sum equal
to at least 10 per cent of the cost of
the building. Practically this offer is
open to any city or town which has no
public library building.
Some good citizens think that the
city should provide its own building
and not ask for it as a gift.
The people who have no taxable
property and who therefore often erro-
neously suppose that they contribute
nothing toward the payment of the
taxes are usually quite willing to have
higher tax rate imposed for the pur-
pose of securing for themselves and
their families free library facilities,
although In exceptional cases religious
or sociological opinions may lead them
to oppose 1t.
A considerable number of taxpayers
are more or less reluctant to have their
assessments increased for this purpose
They say:
First.-That they should not be tax
ed for things they do not want and
never use.
Second,-That the furnishing free
books tends TO pauperize the commu-
nifty and to discourage the purchase Of
books for home use.
Third.-That there is no evidence
that free public libraries improve the
community materially or morally.
Fourth. That the greater part of the
books used are works of fiction, and
that these are injurious to the readers.
Fifth.-That most of the arguments
used in favor of free public libraries
are merely sentimental and emotional,
and that those who urge them most
strongly do so for advertising and po-
l'Iitical reasons or to make place for
themselves or some of their relatives.
While 1t is difficult to trace to either
specific instances of material or moral
improvement, it is certain that the
general diffusion of intelligence which
both certainly effect does result bene
icially in these directions. Communi
ies with flouTishing free schools and
libraries are usually more prosperous
and better tsan those without such
facilities, anG while there is doubtless
room here for a confusion of cause
and effect 1t is probable that there Is
both action and reaction. Prosperity
calls for increased facilities for edu
cation. and these in turn tend to make
the community more prosperous.

FARTHEST NORTH IN THE WAR
Place of Morsar's Surrender Marked
by Monument.


A monument has recently been put
in place on the Crubaugh farm in Co.
lumbiana county, o., which marks the
farthest northern point reached by
the Confederate forces during the civil
war.
It also marks the spot where General
John II. Morgan. the famous southern
leader, surrendered. Many win not
realize without looking at the map
that Wellsville is north of Gettys-
burg.
For many years an old locust tree
marked the place of surrender but q
short time ago il died and was cut
down. the stump being taken to East
Liverpool, O., and placed in the public
library for safe keeping as historical
relic.
1t was the idea of the late w. L.
Thompson, a well known song writer,
who lived near the scene Of the fight,
to erect monument to mark the spot.
He had a fund well started when he
suddenly died, but his friends took UP
the work and carried it through.
A huge granite bowlder was put in
place last year, but it was not until
a few weeks ago that the bronze tablet
was put in place and the monument
dedicated.
The tablet bears this inscription:
This stone marks the spot where
the Confederate raider General John
Ii. Morgan surrendered his command
20 Major George w. Rue July 26, 1863,
and is the farthest point north ever
coached by any body of Confederate
troops during the civil war"

Why Some People Are Against the
Acceptance of Libraries From the

Libraries-Majority Given as Gifts.

There is no doubt that where there
is free circulating library there is an
intelligent community. Every town,
whether it has 400 or 10000 popula-
ton, should furnish some sort of cen
ter where the inhabitants can procure
an insight into the labors of the mighty
and know what is going on in the
world to increase knowledge
The great majority of cities of 25,-
600 inha bitants and upward in the
United States, says a New York edu-
Gator, have a public library of some
sort, and the same is true of many of
the smaller cities and towns. But
there are still quite number of towns
that are minus them. towns that really
need them. A few public spirited citi-
zens could easily advocate a library

DRY VOTE IN WEST VIRGINIA.
State Senate Adopts Resolution to Sub
NIT Liquor Question to People.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. S.-The SEN
ate has voted to submit the state wide
prohibition amendment to a vote of
the people. The vote was % to in
favor of the submission of the amend
ment. This will give to a vote of the
people the proposition of amending the
constitution to declare the state dry
after July 1, 1913.
The joint resolution passed the house
last week and was taken up by the
senate Saturday and referred to the
judiciary committee. Women who
were working for the dry cause made
the senators presents of white roses
and there was considerable enthusiasm
shown by the prohibition advocates.

New York, Feb. SIN spite of de-

Intended that the announcement should
be deferred until after the marriage
of Miss Vivien Gould, but relatives
and friends of the young people have
been told. An injunction of secrecy
was laid, but this somebody neglected

NO NATloNALlsM. IN, MUSIC.

do not believe there is any such
thing as nationalism in music. Music
is a universal thing, and what is usual
ly termed nationalism in music is
really but 'environic suggestion. Sup
posing Wagner had been born in New
York. Is there any reason to suppose
that he would not have written Just
the same music as he did? And he
would have had as many imitators in
America as he has had in Germany,
and his music would have come to be
regarded as thing native to the
American soil, just as it is in Ger
many. But this is a wrong idea; mu-
sic is not a growth of the soil. The
fact is, when a great musical genius
bursts upon the world he always has
scores of imitators, who take up the
masters ideas and do less with them
than he did; but they spread and pop
ularize these ideas, and they come to
be regarded as something native to
the soil of the masters birth, which,
of course, they are not. They are
simply the ideas of one musical gen.
ius.
l remember when l was playing the
violin in Washington John Strauss
paid a visit to America, and there was
tremendous amount of enthusiasm
over the waltz King.
His waltzes were called Viennese,
not at all because they were typical of
Vienna, but simply because he came
from that city. Now mark what hap
pened. Strauss had number of fol
lowers and imitators in America, and
when he left a waltz was published
called "The Strauss Autograph" it
achieved a great vogue, and what was
termed the Vienneese style was recog-
nized in it and warmly praised
But, as matter of fact, it was not
Strauss who wrote the Autograph"
but young American named Warren,
who had picked up the style and spirit
of the music of the Viennese school,
and his work was accepted as typical
of it, but it might just as we'll have
been accepted as typical of America
Again, look at the negro melodies
of the Southern States. They GER
tainly are regarded as native to the
soil and the national product of the
South; but are they? The foremost
composer of these melodies, and the
man who originated that particular
style of composition, was Northern
err, by name Stephen Foster who liv-
ed in the North He wrote for negro
minstrel performances in New York,
and wrote of the South, for the south

and the rare charm with which he in
vested his music came to be regarded
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-10-11

as typical of the South; but you see
it was not really so.
There is, by the way, striking pc
culiarity about national airs-the
great countries have short and the
lesser countries long ones. England's
national anthem has fourteen meas
ures; Americas contains twenty-four;
the Russian hymn sixteen. Siam, on
the other hand, has a national hymH
which contains seventy-six measures,
while San Marine has the longest ma
tional hymn in the world-P. Sousa,
in Westminster Gazette.

and telling day after day
day building a boat way out on
dry land, where the local ham
mer and anvil club sat around,
splitting tobacco juice upon his
boards, whiting up his pine
with their old jack knives and
telling what a big fool he was to
expect big rain in a country
that was too dry to raise alfalfa.
But he kept at it; and every

CALOMEL MUST
HURT YOUR LIVER
Every Time You Take This Powerful
Drug You are in DANCER. Take
Dodson's Liver Tone Instead

CalOmel is made from mercury
and while mercury has many
uses, it is a dangerous thing to
swallow. If calomel stays in the
system very long it salivates.
Even when it works naturally,
its after effects are often bad.
w. J. Sedberry has a liver
medicine called Dodson's Liver
Tone which is positively guar
anteed TO take the place of Gallo
mel. 1t stimulates the liver just
enough to start it working, and
does not make you sicker than
ever-as calomel does. bod
sons Liver-Tone won't force
you to stop eating or working
after taking it. 1t is as beneficial
for children as adults.
