I A JEFFERSONIAN BANQUET.
CK0R?
Upwards of three hundred enthus
iastlc Iowa democrats gathered in the
dining room of the Hotel Savery, Dea
Moines, la., on the evening of April 2,
and partook of a banquet in honor of
Jefferson and Jetfeisonian principles.
Ex-Congressman Walt H. Butler was
to have officiated as toastmaster, but
was unavoidably absent, and George
F. Rinehart, editor of the Newton
,(Ia.) Herald, presided with dig
nity and ability. The banquet hall
-was handsomely decorated for the oc
casion and a number of ladies lent
their presence to the charm of the
occasion. During the banquet music
was rendered bjr Kromer's orchestra.
Owing to the fact that he was com
pelled to take an early train home
ex-Vice -President Stevenson spoke be
fore the banquet was served, taking
for his subject "Jefferson." The ban
quet was handsomely served and- at its
conclusion the toast list was taken
up. Hon. C. O. Holly of Dies Moines
made a stirrjng address on "Ameri
canism," and Hon. J. J. O'Shea of
Council Bluffs spoke eloquently on
"Plutocracy." Hon. J. B. Sullivan of
Creston took 'Imperialism" for his
subject and made a masterly speecn.
Hon. C. A. Walsh, secretary of the
democratic national committee, spoke
on, "The Kansas City Platform" and
aroused his hearers to a high pitch of
'enthusiasm. Judge A. VanWagenen
of Sioux City chose "Government Own
ership of Railroads" as his subject and
spoke with great earnestness. Will
iam Randolph Hearst, editor. of the
New York Journal and American, Chi
cago American and San Francisco Ex
aminer, was expected to be present,
tut was unavoidably detained. He
sent a letter which was read and
greeted with warm demonstrations of
approval. Mr. Hearst's letter appears

moner. General James 33. Weaver
traveled a thousand miles to he pres
ent at the banquet and his address on
"Thomas Jefferson" was one of tho
best ever made. "Tho Declaration ot
independence" was tho subject of an
interesting address by Hon. G. P.
Myers of Newton. Mr. Bryan spoke
on "Democracy."
In the afternoon a meeting was hold
at the Hotel Savery to organizo for
the. campaign of 1901.
The plan of organization mapped
out by Mr. Rinehart was to select a
chairman for each district, these chair
men in turn to name county chair
men, and to organize by electing state
officers. Tho county chairmen In turn
will organize the townships and pre
cincts. The Second, district was not repre
sented. Tho chairmen of the other
districts were named as follows:
First E. H. RockwelL.of Farming
ton. Third M. B. Lyons of Dubuque.
Fourth D. -Dermore of Evanston.
Fifth John Hobbs of Marshall
town. Sixth G. F. Rinehart of Newton.
Seventh H. C. Evans of Des Moines.
Eighth' E. J. Sankey of Leon.
Ninth J. J. Shea of Council Bluffs.
Tenth P. H. Donlon of Emmets
burg. Eleventh Earl Bronson of Spen
cer. The district chairmen then met and
organized by electing Mr. Rinehart
as chairman for the state of the dis
trict organizations. He was author
ized to select a secretary, and as it
was thought wise to have the head
officers in thp same town or close to
gether, O. P. Meyers of Newton' was
made treasurer.
Each district committeeman was au
thorized to appoint a chairman for
each county and report to tho state
organization within ten days. At the
afternoon meeting ?55 was raised as a
nucleus for a campaign fund,-and at
the banquet in the evening a much
larger sum was raised, so that tho
campaign will start with several hun
dred dollars in thojtreasury.
Discussing tho ""movement of the
Kansas City platform forces to organ
ize, following the conference, Mr. Bry
an said the same policy of organiza
tion was being carried on throughout
tho country. He said a number of
states .had already started along, tho
same line, and reports from many lo
calities indicated that organization
was. being carried on with enthusiasm.
v The Name Carnegte.
A gentleman recently returned from
Atlanta, Ga., says the Carnegie li
brary of thatcity is not so much of
value to the people of Atlanta as it js
a beautiful monument to Andrew Car
negie. This criticism is frequently, heard
respecting Carnegie libraries.
The man referred to says: y
"As I approached the building, on
the streets noticed a beautiful ornate
work of art in marble, which I
thought at first was probably some
kind of a memorial. On tho lintel of
the Xront door, emblazoned in large
letters, was the one word 'Carnegie.'
On the sides of the building in much,
smaller letters were the names of
Aesop, Homer, Virgil, Dante, Milton
and Poe. It was not very pleasing to
see how the name of Carnegie, the
man of money, overshadowed those
names which have been so illustrious
in tho world of letters."
Never mind. - -
Time will erase the name of Car
negie. Here is an old story: . -

Once upon a time a great king or
dered his architect Sosostros by name
to build him tho most beautiful
palace in the world. There was to
be no name over the portal save that
of the king. The architect built the
palace and over the portal carved, in
deed, the name, of the king but in
plaster. Time passed. The plaster
fell away. And under it, revealed in
the solid granite, was the name of the
architect Sosostros.
The name of Carnegie is carved hut
in plaster. Beside the great names,
though it be emblazoned in stone, his
name will not endure.
The future will reveal the real arch
itects, of these libraries, if, indeed,
they are not already known.
Who are they?
Negatively, the men who have voted
to Carnegie special privileges by which
he has made a fortune, almost fab
ulous, at the expense of his fellows.
In reality, the men who have tolled
bare-waisted at tho open furnace. In
cidentally, public opinion. And to
some extent, the man's tremendous
egotism.
The future will-understand. Kansas ,
City World.
The Retort Discourteous.
.."Well, bub, what is it?" asked tho
druggist of the small boy with a bot
tle in his hand.
"Please, sir, but here's the medicino
I got for me mother an hour ago."
"Yes, and what's the matter with
it?"
"You didn't write on the bottle
whether it was to be taken eternally,
or infernally, and she's afraid of mak
ing a mistake." Detroit Free Press.
Caution.
The sharp-tongued heiress eyed the
lordling long and earnestly.
"Why is it?" she asKed, "that titles
in your country have such distressing
incumbrances?."
"Perhaps," he retorted, "it's x even,
up for the character of the load that
wealth has to carry in your country."-
And the possibility of one interna
tional match ended therewith. Chica
