STATE HISTORICAL
BUILDING NEEDED
John L Webster Sett Forth Reasons
for a Home to Preserve the
Records of Nebraska. -,
ARE OF PRICELESS WORTH
John I -en Webster, president of the
Rate Historical society. In speaking of
the necessity of raising funds for the
erection of a new building for the so
ciety. ays:
"What Is the Stat Historical society T
"It is a state Institution declared by
law, yet under the management -t an
association whose membership is about
1.800 persons from all part of the state.
The governing body Include the gover
nor, the chief justice, the attorney gen
eral, the chancellor of the university and
the professor of local history, the presi
dent of the State Pre association, to

"The unique feature of the governing
body ta that three are elected by the
people of the state at large, two by re
gent of the atate university, one by the
State Press association and the remaining
directors and officers are elected by the
membership at large. You could scarcely
conceive of a more trustworthy, reliable
and responsible body of men at the head
of any public Institution.
"You ask what this Historical society

"That question may be answered from
different point of view. If you refer to

Of Iteal Money Valae.
Mr. Harlan, curator of the Historical
Society of Iowa, gives me the opinion
that the articles In the museum have a
money value between 1750,000 and $1,,000,

brief statement. It has been well said
that history Is the foundation of all
knowledge, and the value of local history
l intensified because It appeals more
directly to the masa of people.
"Why should the state interest itself
in supporting the society?
Klfta I)eaatla.
"I have partially answered that ques
tion by what I have said. The property
hi the museum come from gifts, dona
tion and original discoveries. The li
brary increases largely from exchanges.
The curator of the Iowa society tells me
that he values Its property at SS,000,OC,
nearly all of which has come to It by
gifts and donations.
"Wliy do you need a historical building?
"There are mny reasons why the state
hould erect a historical building. The
property of the society has an estimated
financial value of more than ITCO.O00 and
should be placed In a fireproof building.
The preservation of that historical ma
terial involves more than Its financial
value because most of the articles csnnot
be duplicated. The relics of the pioneer
days and of the Indiana and of the civil
snd Spanish wars could not be dupli
cated. Let me Illustrate. In the museum
are the swords,' epaulets and uniforms
worn by Nebraska military commanders
In the Indian and In the civil wars. The
time will com when these Vill be as
precious to the future cltlicns of Ne
braska aa are similar article which were
worn In the day of the revolution; a
time when the wealth of a Rockefeller
would not take them away from the atate.
Bleed More gaee.
"Again we need more floor space. We
now have articles sufficient, if cased for
proper display, to cover an entire floor
of the capitol building. And, again, if
we had a fireproof building, it would not
be long. In my Judgment, until additional
articles would be donated of value equal
to the cost of the building. Otherwise
stated the society would become rich
without expense to It if it had a fireproof
building to take care of It property.
"Do other states have historical build
ings? "Yes. Kansas has Just completed a
building that cost about 1600,000. Iowa
has a building which cost $700,000, In which
It stores Its museum and library valued
at 13.000,000. Wisconsin has a society
building which originally cost about $760,
000, and has been enlarged from time to
time to take care of its accumulation of
property until there has been Invested
$1,250,000.
"Nebraska belongs to the same group
of states. Our early history Is Just as
valuable as theirs. Our pioneers were
Just as daring, adventurous and patriotic,
and accomplished In their way, Just as
much as the' pioneers accomplished In
Kansas, In Iowa or Wisconsin. Let me
put the question In another form. Why
should any man have the courage to say
that we should not have a building, and
that our past history should not be taken
cere of?
"Can Nebraska afford at thla tlra to
put up a historical society building f
"Yes. It can better afford to commence

the erection of that building now than at

different points of view. Carlyle once
