JUDGE DEEMER MAKES PRINCIPAL ADDRESS
Tells af Great Edocational Work Deal
y the Free Libraries Which
Arc Opea to Rich aad
' Poor Alike.
With Impressive exercises the corner
stone of the new Carnegie library build
ing was laid yesterday morning before an
assemblage of several hundred persons.
The exercises were ' arranged to commence
at t o'clock, but a late"tralri delayed Judge
Deemer's arrival and It was an hour later
when Hon. M. F. Rohrer, president of the
Board of Library Trustees, made the open
ing announcement. ..' .)
The speakers- Included Hon. H. E. D ea
rner, chief Justice of the supreme court
of Iowa, and -Congressman WaJter I.
Smith.. The members of the library board
occupied seats on a platform erected Just
Inside the wall of the building, while below
on a platform outside the wall were seated
the -members ot the Glee club and guests
of honor. .The members of the Council
Bluffs lodge of Elks and aa many of the
audience aS could be accommodated occu
pied benches, which were placed, bet ween
the building and the sidewalk on both sides
of the angle, i
"Judge TJeemer, who made the principal
address, said in part:
J a dare Deemer's Address.
Go Into any town,' of any considerable
else in the nortn oi tnese uniuaa niaies,
and the buildings which attract attention
are first the homes, tnen tne cnurcnes.
then the schools and libraries, and altar
that tha court houses. These are typical
of the four most potent lntluenoes In our
social system. Each of these factors Is
essential to every scheme of free govern
maant: for liberty which Is not restrained
by law is essentially license, and license Is
noining. dui anarcny..- ttiiuo ajaau in
aantial to tha well be Ins ot any govern.
meat based upon popular will, tne one
which appeals pre-eminently to the reason
is the teaching of the school.
After all Is said, It is apparent that our
civilisation' Is bottomed on the develop
ment of the reaaonlna- powers: and a na
tion's stability Is Insured only through "tne
cultivation of the mind
k-.von f'aj-'.lala saw the influence or 11
hrarlna when he. aald "The true university
of theae days Is a collection of books. n
And some one else with more, truth .M
clared that "the free public library is toe
peoples unlverr.ity.
ine UDrary oi iway nm oniy aupttre- (
roents the work of the schools, but prop
erly administered acts in conjunction with
them. ...
The building which Is to. gracefully grow
up around this cornerstone, which we now
lay, Is to house the people's university a
free school, not only for children, but for
mature men and women as well, indeed,
Its doors shall freely swing to every decent
human being who has a craving for knowl
edge. . . -
Its advantages will be for those who
most need them. The rich men can buy
their bonks, and sometimes do; but I have
often felt as I looked upon their selec
tions that they, too, needed the assistance
of a trained librarian. " Hither the poorest,
the most obscure, the moat neglected child
may come and hold converse with the best,
the greatest, the most renowned men and
woman of everv aa-e and of every clime.
Here, If nowhere else, there shaa be no
caste, no rich, no poor, no favorites -or
favoritism--!! will be,on an, equality.. c
The donor of this library said, "I am a
library builder through heredity.... My
father Was "one of the tflree weavers who
organized the first library of Punfermllne.
They combined their few volumes and
opened, them to less' .' fortunate people.
When t was a working boy in Allegheny
City, Colonel Ander-"n opened his library,
consisting of 400 vo- i tie, to the : working
boys of the town, i ' attended every Sat
urday to exohanRo ka. In this way the
portals of knowlrdt were opened to me,
and I then resolved that If ever fortune
favored me I would use It so that many
another working boy would have access
to books, In which Is preserved as If by
magic, everything worthy that man has
said and done."
This in Itself should be a sufficient an.
swer tq those carping critics who are con.
stantly criticising the motives of our dis
interested philanthropists.
Plea for Instructive Books.
Congressman Smith In his address on
tended that the purpose of a public library
and especially the one they were laying
the cornar-atone of, should be for the edu
cation of the public and not for Its enter
tainment. He deprecated the purchase of
so much Current fiction, most ot whlcfc he
said, should be consigned to the fire aa
loon as read. The library should, he urged,
contain works ot permanent value of an
instructive character, and In concluding he
made a strong plea for1 the selection of
boqks of an educational Value. -
Trustees W. B. Balrd and John Galvin,
a representatives ot the ' Library' board,
made short addresses.
. Lay las; the Stasia. j .'
Following the addresses came the cere
mony of laying the! corner-stone, which
was carried out by Council Bluffs lodge

method to bo adopted In case It is decided
that they shall be placed under one board.
Soma traveling will be done to visit other

make it impossible for the members to do
very much personal investigating.. . Tho
most of tbe work will be done by corre.

next general assembly. At the close of the
lost session the sentiment was almost over

accentuated the necessity for reforms, '

Iowa Crop) Reports.
The weekly report of the state weather
and crop service Is encouraging as tq Iowa
crops, saying:
The Past week was sllsrhtlv Cooler than
usual, the daily average temperature belnir
one to two degrees below normal. The state
was copiously watered in all parts, which
will Insure ample fall pasturage and put
ine son in good condition for plowing.
Some local damage resulted from severe
wind squalls, tut the aggregate ot loss
will not be heavy. The bulk of the corn
which was prostrated came up quickly,
with favorable conditions following tho
otorms.
As a whole tho corn crop has done fairly
well during - tha , week. . The progress of
the crop toward maturity has been more
uneven, than usual in the same localities
and In the same fields.
Rc-ports from-all sources confirm the pre
vious statement that two-third or more of
the corn crop will need normally warm
weather till the Iclose of September to be
sare irom damage ty Killing rrost. The
more advanced fields show signs of earlier
maturity.
Fall plowing Is being pushed. Cutting
wild gross and second crop of tame bay
Is ln progress. Apples and potatoes yield
abundantly.
