Why keokuk Never Was a Recipient
of Some Of the Millions He Gave

DUE TO AN OLD WILL

DUE TO AN OLD WILL

Why Keokuk never obtained one
of the three thousand library build
|ings ornamenting cities and towns OF
all sizes is a rather interesting story
1t is the story of how man in
Ibis efforts to give Keokuk the best
library facilities prevented its pro-
gress in that line-a story of one OF
the many instances of man defeat
ing his object by tieing up bequest
in his will without reference to
changes in the future unthought Of
James L. Rice was the man in this
Keokuk case. He was a good lawyer

including Miller, Love, Gilmore and
the rest.

big wholesale dry goods house of
Irwin Phillips now stands.
How Williams College Comes In.
He was scholarly and became rich
for those days. When he died, his
will contained bequest for ten or
fifteen thousand dollars to the then
active Keokuk Library association
for a building.
It was provided that the money
was to be used for library build
ing, and if at any time it ceased to
be so used, it should go to Williams
college, in Massachusetts.
At that time. the Keokuk Library
association was maintaining library
here by hard work, without suitable
quarters, and the bequest of Rice
seemed munificent gift, as it was.
A movement was easily successful
to add more money to the Rice be-
quest and build real library build.

ing at Third and Main street, with
the library in the second story, and
the telegraph office, and sometimes
other business, on the street floor.

Handicap Of a Bequest.

'"rhe present building is worth
considerable money-one time it
looked like It could be sold for about
100000, and the first thought was to
sell 1t, take the proceeds, add Car.
negie money, and build library that
would add greatly to the assets Of
Keokuk, a building like nearly every
city in Iowa except Keokuk has.
Only two things prevented. One
was that If the building was sold,
and some lawyers said even If tho
proceeds were put into a Carnegie
library, a big bunch of the money
would go to Williams college which
certainly would take it. This made
q situation that seemed to make It
hopeless to ask the people Of Keo-
kuk to vote money for new library
building entailing the loss OF the
Rice bequest.
Personally, favor building the
library and let the Rice money go
hang.
The Rule Of the Ironmaster.
"The other thing was the snag
struck when we approached the Car
negie library organization with the
proposition of Carnegie library in
heOhuh. 1udI SudB was d rule.
1.-The ironclad rule of Carnegie was
not to put any money into library
in any community which already had
library building.
HE wanted to initiate new libra
ries and not help old ones. The very
fact that Keokuk has one of the best
and probably the oldest library in
Iowa, in building little better than
warehouse for library purposes
and in the vice district of the city
for years, put us in the Carnegie dis
card list.
eve couldn't get Carnegie money
for a new library because we owned
that building at Third and Main;
and we could not build a new build
ing in Keokuk without Carnegie help
or SO it seemed, at least. But the
spirit of Keokuk is changing, and
hope to live long enough to see Keo-
kuk have library building like
other towns.

the Keokuk library every year than
use the Keokuk parks7 It's fact

LEAGUE BATTLE
WORRIES DEMOS
Contest Against Pact Is Re-
Sumed Today
BY l.. G. MARTIN
Omitted Press Correspondent

WASHINGTON. July 2f.-The
fight for and against the league OF
nations was resumed today.
At the capitol. senatorial debate
was renewed, and the foreign rela.
tons committee continued reading
the treaty.
Return OF Senator Hitchcock, ad.
ministratlon leaders from a weekend
trip, was awaited by democratic sen
ators who were admittedly worried
over the fact that IS senators are re-
ported to have pledged their votes
against ratification without reserva-
tons.
1t was after this list OF 80 had been
offered President Wilson last week
as proof of the strength OF senate OPP
position that Hitchcock issued a
statement saying the treaty would
be ratified without change. declaring
there are not enough votes for
amendment
Democrats were TO discuss the list
with Hitchcock and get his advice on
plans to make n concerted oratorical
attack on republicans by renewing
the charge of partisanship and per.
sonal jealousy OF President Wilson.
