Y, M. C. A. CAMPAIGN OPENS
Great Mas Me;tinr Held in Dodee Light
Guards' Armory.
ADDRESSES ON NEED OF AN ASSOCIATION
Kperrhea Made by Iowa aid Nebraska
State aeeretarlee and rrealdeal
t'arpeater of Omaha
Association.
If the attendance at the mass meeting
yesterday afternoon and the Interest shown
In the proceedlngi count for aught, the
project to establish a Young Men's Chris
tian assocjatlnh In Council Bluffa should
be an assured success. The large drill hall
of.' the Dodge Light Guards' armory, in
which tho meeting was held, was filled
almost to Us capacity, and it Is estimated
that at least 1,000 persons, among the num
ber being many of the leading business
and professional men of the city, were pres
ent and listened to the able arguments
presented by the several speakers da be
half of the project.
The meeting, aside from the purpose for
which it was called, was a most Interest
ing and entertaining one. The committee
In charge had been careful not to fill the
program with formal addresses alone, but
offered a number of varied musical se
lections which interspersed the speoches
and materially tended to enliven the pro
ceedings. Joseph Wi Bmtth, chairman of
the general committee having the project
In charge, presided and called the meeting
to order with a few appropriate and happy
remarks.
The musical program was an excellent
one and Included the singing of a number
of well-known hymns by' a large male
chorus under the direction of C, W. Coker,
two cornet solos by Prof. A. A. Covalt,
a solo by Dr. Claude Lewis, a number by
the Elks' quartet and the singing of sev
eral hymns In which the large audience
Joined.
The benefits of a Young Men's Christian
association from different standpoints were
presented to the gathering by W. A. Magec,
state secretary of the Young Men's Chris
tian association for Iowa; I. W. Carpen
ter, president of the Omaha Young M"'
Christian association; Rev. James O
pastor of the Broadway Methodist i
of this city; J. P. Bailey, secretary .
Young Men's Christian association ft.
braska.
Address by Secretary Matcee.
W. A. Magee, state secretary for lo.
was assigned the topic, "What I Ha
Heard Some Business Men Say About I..
Young Men's Chriatlan Association." I:.
opening his address Mr. Magee said he was
glud to see that the movement for the es
tablishment of a Young Men's Christian
association In Council Bluffs had been In
augurated by the young men of the city.
This, he contended, augured success for the
project. After referring to the fact that
Council Bluffs was one of the very "few
cities in the state of Iowa whclli did not
have u Young Men's Christian association
the speaker told of what had been accom
plished In this line tn'oflier cities through
out the state. He mentioned In particular
the assistance rendered by business men In
the different cities. He mentioned how In
Dubuque one business man of that city had
contributed $3w,0Ui) toward the erection of a
building for the association in his city and
how this business man had told him that
he would not withdraw his contribution
for the entire wealth of the state. This
same business man, he said, hud told htm
that the good such an institution could do
young men in any city could not be esti
mated. He told of how Wanamaker, the
merchant prince, had in his city contrib
uted lluO.tXiO toward such an Institution, al
though at the time Mr. Wanamaker hud
said that he. was not certain whether his
business warranted such n donation, but
he hud faith in the' dividends that It would
return, not only to hlni, but to the other
buslners men of his city.
Mr, (arpemter's Address.
Mr. Carpenter followed State Secretary
Magee and told . what he as a business
man thought of the Young Men's Christian
association. In opening he said the great
est institution In the world for the benefit
and good of humanity is the Christian
home, ordained by God; the next Institu
tion in potency and power is the church,
and as he understood It tho Institution
which comes next In the welfare of any
city or community was the Young Men's
ChrUtlan association. Continuing he said: 0l.eat western railroad 10 construct and
"The young men' of Council Bluffs form malntaln a viaduct at the Woodbury ave
the greatest asset the city has. Tlie Young nue crosslng. It was stated yesterday that
M u s Christian association takes care of I tl colinetlmen have tired of the delay in
the three wants of the . Indlvldual-the j t matter and will push the ordinance
physical, the mental and the spiritual. If
the youth Is not kept busy In something
timt is profitable he will certainly get busy
in something that Is not profitable. Inter
est the boys In that which Is profitable to
them and bring them up with good environ
ments and then the problem Is solved."
The gymnasium, he contended. Is a neces
sary adjunct of the Young Men's Christian
association. "Build up the body and you
can build up the brain." At the same time,
he said, the splrittiul and social side of the
Institution should not be overlooked or un
derestimated. Mr. Carpenter then described
a model Young Men's Christian association
and the several departments included In lis
work, the kind of officers it should have
and the manner In which It should be con
ducted. Concluding, the speaker said: "What have
the people of Council Bluffs done for the
betterment of Its youth? The Christian
Home, the public library. Its hospitals were
all, as I understand It, built by outside
money. Council Bluffs now has the oppor
tunity and should rise up and do something
grand for Its young men." As an Inspira
tion for the business men of this city, he
related what hud leen accomplished in
Omaha, and how. Immediately following the
example of Omuha, such cities as St. Paul,
Duliith, Kansas City and Denver had bor
rowed the now famous Omaha Young Men's
Christian association clock and raised large
sums of money for the erection of Youny
Men's Christian association buildings.
Someone In the audience asked Mr. Car
penter If Council Bluffs could not borrow
the famous clock, and he replied that the
Young Women's Christian association of
that city had the first Hen on it, but that
possibly later on this city might bo able to
secure it.
Rev. James O May s address was on
"What 1 as a Preacher Think of the Young
Men's Christian Association." Ills -view of
the project was outlined in one of his open
ing statements, which was, '"The Young
Men's Christian association te a necessity,
not a luxury." , .
The concluding address was by State Sec
retary J.. P. Ba-liey .of Nebraska, whose
theme was "What the Young Men's Chris
tian Association Means." lis value to
any community, be7 said, was not limited
and could not be estimated. It meant the
propir phveical, mentat aud spiritual Uaiu-l
ln of the youth of the city so as to fit
them for their future careers as bualnss
and professional men who would be a
credit to their city. It provided them with
proper environments and gave to the youth
who was a stranger tn the community a
helping hand whirl) no other organisation
did or could.
tJeaeral Cnmiatttee Appointed.
As had been announced no effort to so
licit subscriptions was made at the meet
ing, which was called merely- for the pur
pose of presenting to th people of the
city the benefits to be derived to the com
munity by the establishment of a Young
Men's Christian association. The com
mittee felt well repaid fur Ita work by the
large attendance and evident Interest dis
played In the proceedings and the atten
tion raid the several speakers. The com
mittee is now corresponding with the na
tional association with a view of securing
a "professions 1" campaigner who will have
charge of the canvass tor subscriptions.

election last Monday. The board will then
reorganize and Kmmet Tinley wlil succeed
himself, while O. A. Schoedsnck, the other

likely that J. P. Hess will be re-elected

There Is some question whether under the
new school law H. O. McGee will retain the
office of treasurer until July 1. It Is also
a question whether the s,rte law does not
apply to members of the board, but even
If It does Mr McConnell stated yesterday
he would not take advantage of It, but

DEMAND FORDEMURRACE BILL
Iowa House of Representatives to Be Bom
barded with Petitions This Week.
TODAY WILL BE A BUSY DAY IN HOUSE
Committee Ordered
It P. M. on
Introduced
to Report
All Bills
Before
March .
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8, MOINES. March 18. (Special.) It
Is learned that the house the coming week
Is to be bombarded with petitions from the
farmers and co-operative elevator men from
the northern part of the state In favor ot
the reciprocal demurrage bill, and the
measure is far from being dead for ' this
session. The demand for the law Is tho
difficulty the farmers and elevator men ex
perience in getting cars. The bill lias been
In the hands of a sub-committee, which Sat
urday reported to the full committee a sub
stitute measure, which Is a little less ob
jectionable to the railroads. The changes
are not opposed by the friends of the
measure, as they consist largely In shaping
up the bill requiring written notice. of de
mand for a car and such changes. The
elevutor men claim they huve been losing
from 1500 to J1.000 a year per elevator bv
the failure to get cars. The railroads have
fought the measure at every point. Sat
urday the first of a lot of petitions reached
the house. It was on a printed form and
this lead to the discovery that these
"printed form petitions" have been cir
culated all over the northern part of the
state. The one Introduced Saturday was
presented by Representative Wright and
was signed by 235 farmers and elevator
men of Webster county. The statement
of the petitions which the farmers are
signing is significant In Itself. The one
presented Saturday was partly as follows:
"At the hearing of tho railroads before
your committee March t we believe they
utterly failed to show good cuuse why
this bill should not pass. Their attempt
to create the Impression In that hearing
that there la no great demand for the pas
sage of this bill and that only & few in
experienced farmers are calling for its pas
sage and that this shortage of equipment
only comes once In a period of years re
flects on the Intelligence of your honnrablu
body. Their evident desire to have us
take our complaints to them rather than
lo have legislation Is proof positive that
they know these evils exist and that the
car famine Is of annual occurrence."
Bin Work for Monday.
According to a resolution passed by the
house some days ago, every bill Intro
duced tn the house before March 6 must
be reported from committee by t o'clock
Monday afternoon. The House Is dis
posed to force legislation through, and in
the list of bills that under this resolution
must be reported out tomorrow afternoon
are some of the most Important before the
body. The 2-cent fare bill and the re
ciprocal demurrage bill are among the
number. The substitute for the primary
election bill by Flennlken went into the
Journal of 8aturday. having been reported
out of the committee, and will be brought
up most likely on Monday or the first of
the week. Besides these measures the
house has down for special order for Tues
day the antl-dlscrlminatlon bill, known ai
the Standard Oil bill, and prohibiting any
concern from soiling us proaucts at a
lower price In one part of the state than
In another.
Awaits Death In the House.
The atrong lobby maintained by the State
Agricultural college for the defeat of the
board of regents bill has been confining Ha
attention quite largely to the house mem
bers and it la claimed that the bill will be
killed In that body. Opponents of the bill
In the senate say that It will pass there.
One of the trustees of the Agricultural col
lege Is authority for the statement that
there will be at least thirty votes for it in
the senate; twenfy-slx is necessary to lis
passage. ' Some claim It wiU get thirty-five
In the senate. But In the house the State
college people are confident that they will
succeed in getting the bill killed. The at
tack on the lobby U having no effect on the
lobby Itself and Is having divided effect on
the members. One member of the house
claims he will vote to kill the bill because
of tha attack. The lobbylsta and the
friends claim that while they are taking
their time from teaching for which they
were engaged. It Is necessary to do so In
the Interests of. the institution, as there 1
no one else to take up the task. The lobby
Is succeeding In getting the impression
firmly rooted In the minds of the house
members that If the single board Is created
for tba (UU Mhools the Bute Agricultural

college and the State Normal will suffer at
the expense of thi Stato university as the
single board will cut off much of tho work
done at these two schools as being dupli
cations of the State university, while little
or nothing will be cut out at the State uni
versity. The bill will be taken up again In
tho senate Tuesday.
Flennlken Primary Bill.
The committee on elections of the house
has perfected the Flennlken primary elec
tion bill, which has been before the com
mittee for several 'days, and rciorted It out
favorably. The author of the bill presented
some amendments designed to make the bill
better and to conform to other bills that
have been considered. The bill was pre
pared so hastily that a number of matters
were overlooked. Discussion of the bill Sn
committee developed that 4heri was wide
variation in the views of the members and
that even If the bill is perfected as Its
author desires It will be opposed on the
floor of the house. The wisdom of taking
out of the bill consideration of Judicial
nominations, both district Judges and su
preme Judges, was recognized by all, and
there will be no disagreement on this phase
of the bill. The bill, an It now stands, pro
vides for tlie nomination of the governor,
lieutenant governor, slate auditor, state
treasurer, secretary of state uud railroad
commissioners at primary state elections,
leaving the Judges and court officials to be
selected by conventions, as also tlie superin
tendent. But the bill al.-o provides for the
nomination at primaries of a United States
senator. It applies to congressmen, state
senators and representatives and to all
county officers, and even to party commit
teemen. Mr. Ficnnikcn lias done much
work on the bill and hopes to be able to
secure for It consideration In the house at
length.

nd .senate next week will consider tho
