IOWA LIBRARIES SUCCESSFUL.
Only One Small Carnegie institution
Faiis-Chio Not So Fortunate.

Only One Small Carnegie institution
Faiis-Chio Not So Fortunate.
BY Associated Press.
Des Aloines. Dec 24.-Only one of
ninety nine Carnegie free libraries in
Iowa has failed during the past year
and this one the smallest library
building in the state, and in town
compares most ravorably with thai
of Ohio. where thirty out OF 103 Car
negie libraries have failed. Accord
ing 10 Stipulations Of the Carnegie
ondOWments, library must raise BY
taxation one tenth of the amount of
the gift. When a state fails to do this
to such an extent as Ohio has recent
ly. any more Carnegie endowments in
that state are prohibited Ohio's fall
ure has been attributed by officials
there to the immersion of the library
commission IN politics; officials OF
the Iowa library commission boast
that in this state library matters are
kept clear of politics.
The total SUM of the Carnegie en-
dowments to this state are S1,109.000.
a letter recently received by the Iowa
library commission points out that
altho many libraries may be tech
nically" complying with the proyi
sions Of the endowment contract, the
sums they are giving for library work
may, because of the increased cost OF
books, OF library management, etc.
DO in reality violating their pledges.
Not all Iowa cities, however, 1t Is de-
clared, can be accused OF this; and
Davenport is cited as an example.
The Carnegie gift to that city was
SIS, 900, thus obligatlng the city TO
raise by taxes for library work $500
a year But as a matter of fact in
1919 Davenport's library appropria-
ton was s2s.222. This, 1t is said, is
true In number OF cases in this
state. IS

Galbraith Says Children

Friend or Foe. Because They Had
No Part in Causes Which Preeip-

New York, Dec. 24..--T. w. Gall
braith. Jr., national commander OF
the American Legion has written TO
Herbert Hoover. chairman of the
European relief council expressing
the sentiment that unless tae council
is successful in its project To secure
funds for the salvaging OF the, child
life of central Europe by the >distrion-
ton of food and medical supp!ies in
the war ravaged countries this win
ter the principles for which thou
sands of American heroes laid down
their lives in the world war can not
be indicated. His letter says
My Dear Mr.. Hoover: u have
just given the most careful attention
to your letter OF Nov. 80, in which
You mention the distressing condition
OF the children OF Europe and in
which you inquire II there is any way
In which the American Legion might
lend Its support TO the work OF
arnelioration OF their suffering now
being conducted under your super
vision.
II know that you are familiar with
the magnitude of the task now con-
fronting the American Legion In In
surfing adequate provision for our
sick and disabled comrades and for
the dependents OF those who gave
their lives In the service. In the
greatest war OF history those men
gave their blood and bodies that the
world might be safer place and
better place for those who come after
them. The children OF the world
were to be the beneflciaries Of their
sacrifice. and the heart Of the Ameri-
can Legion beats In unison with the
great heart of America in sympathy
for these little tots who in their help
lesSness are the greatest sufferers in
the aftermath Of the great conflict
and who will continue to suffer more
keenly and bitterly unless a return to
q normal condition be rapidly
achieved. These little ones, children
Of friend and foe alike, had no part
In the causes which precipitated the
great confiict-they are entirely inno-
cent and helpless and as national
wish to express my hearty approval
Of the work which you are under
taking and carrying on.
II hope your campaign for raising
the necessary funds for continuing
this work will meet with the. gen.
ero,ls response from thess American
people which has always been their
reply to appeals from the distressed
and helpless.
i am certain that in this response
the members OF the American Legion
will not be found wanting. Cordially
yours, F.. w. Galbraith, Jr."
