PASTOR PREACHES ELOQUENT StfiMON All the Vetera OraanUatloas in the Clly Join In the One Service to the atloi.'-J Honored ' Dead. Gray haired veterans of the civil war formi-d an imposing part of the congrega tion which tilled the first Christian church JestiTduy morning, when at the Invitation f the pastor, Hev. W..' B. Clemmer, the members of Abe Lincoln post. Grand Army Cif the Republic and the Woman's Relief corps assembled for their annua! memorial services, In which they were joined by the members of Kncumpment No. 8, Union Vet erans' legion and the Women's auxiliary cf that organization. Rov. ClemmHr delivered an eloquent ad flrens, saying in part: fiddlers of the republic. I shall speak todiiy to you nut only as Individuals, but as representatives of that groat army upon whoht banntrs tlie finger of a trraelous God Inscribed "Victory." The words of Paul.

Soldiers ot the republic, your deeds were wrought tn blood, but thny are treasured In the heurts of ft trrnteful people and In Scribed on the Imperishable pages of his tory, while generations yet unborn will rise up to call you hltued. The enduring names of Ovant, Sherman, Sheridan and other great hftders will Maze brightly upon the llrinanent of national history, yet the record shall not fall to recount the su preme devotion of the ranks, the prlvute soldiers, who arose supremely In their might, making their country's preservation uoHslble. The need of the world with Its myriad of aching hearts is tho expression of appre ciation we feel. It sweetens the cup of life and helps to make the rough ways smooth. Too many men whose lives have been lived In herol: slf-forgetfulness for the benefit of the many. whos achieve ments have ten of untold value to man kind have been allowed to go to their Knives In obloo.uoy, only to receive reward long pest due In storied columns of marble or statues of bronze. If wo sre alive to our duty and high privilege this shall not be so as regards our' venerated host. All over this broad domain wherever the stars nnd stripes unfurl, pulpits pour forth their eloquence and prayers ascend to heaven. In behalf of those comrades whom duty's call found ever ready. Words are but leaves, deeds are the fruits. If in our memorials we halt at these formal tributes of the Hps, they are ns withered flowers Indeed. If we would bring forth fruits, we should reproduce In our lives that spirit of devotion which ani mated tho ranks and raised above self interest and party Interest the weal of the nation. Our liberties will then be perpet uated, our country's honor exalted and that banner whose broad stripes and bright tars have been transplanted from the flrm nmert of heaven to earth shall ever un furl unsullied In every clline.

Many a time had he seen, he said. In a man's house his diplomas nicely framed and hung either on the wall of a room or the hall. but they were no evidence that the owner had attained success. On the contrary, great men that he knew, If they had been asked where their shePsnklna or diplomas were, would have answered that they did not know, and probably It would have been found that they had been placed away In the attic or an old trunk. I'KIO.f VETEHAX I.EGIO MEMORIAL Impressive Services at Broadway Methodist Church. Encampment No. 8, Union Veterans' le gion, held Its annual memorial services last 1 night at Broadway Methodist church. These exercises, always Impressive, were If any thing more so last night, owing to the fact that during the' last year six of the members of the encampment had answered to the call of the grim reaper and thirty seven vacant choirs, with the names of the deceased veterans, marked how rapidly death Is decimating the ranks of the sur vivors of 'til. I The six members of Encampment No. 8 who have answered to the last grand re- vellle since the memorial services of a twelvemonth ago are: William Rice, died June 6, 1903; F. M.

LA1!V TALK TO TUB CIIADVATKS president Maclean of University of Iotta Speaks on "Success." In his baccalaureate . address to the sen ior class of the high school yesterday after floon President George L. MacLean of the Iowa Stata university took for his Subject "The Secret of Success," using the apostle Paul u his example and his text from the thirteenth and fourteentn (verses of the third chapter of St. Paul's fcplBtlo to tha Phlllpplans: "Bretnren, i Count not myself to have apprehended; but this on thing I do, forgetting those things which are before, I press toward the tnark for the prize of the high calling of Ood in Christ Jesus." ' Dr. MacLean was greeted by an audience (Which filled the auditorium of the school and he was listened to with rapt attention. Per. W. 8, Barnes, pastor of the First Presbyterian ' church, offered the prayers, ferhlle tho Glee club of the school rendered several sacred selections. Seated on the tags were the members of the Hoard of Education and the High school faculty. Jo opening, Dr. MacLean said he In Beaded his address as a heart-to-heart talk fadth th young men and women who were to graduate thlB week and that he desired to aay something helpful to them. That they would all desire to be successful in the Uvea on which they were now entering hraa assumed, and this being the case, he told he would endeavor to show them (WTieraln lay the secret of success. The first step towards success, he said, was Concentration, another was application, (While one Of the most important elements (was , aspiration. Without aspiration the goal of success could not be reached and unless a person had soma purpose In view, some goal to reach, success eould not be Obtained. Push was one essential that a person must have) to attain success. That ancestry brought success or that the element of heredity entered Into the Question, he denied.

Burlff for his address last evening at Trinity Methodist church j to the members of the local organizations of the Knights of Pythias and Rathbone Sisters. Rev. Burlff is a member of Bluffs company. Uniform Rank. Knights of Pythias, and chaplain of the Iowa brigade on the staff of Brigadier Genera Kings bury. He said in part: Friendship is the one word which denotes a purely spiritual passion. True friend ship is of the soul alone. For this reason L i i? a ma.rve'ousl" enduring sentiment, . .i, uuuua vi sieei us partlcl- "...til IIIIIMIKII CVBI V VII' HHirilUA itT Tit- une, refusing to be severed by even the stroke of death. No man 1 poor who has a 1,,c"" "o man is ncn wntf tacks one. So universally has this need and desire for friendship been felt that in all times men have sought these closer bonds and united themselves in various organiza tions, of which the modern fraternal order Is an example. The whole force of your association as Knights of Pythias Is to bind men together In mutual friendship. When the candidate approaches the por tal of your castle hall he Is heralded as n stranger who seeks initiation, but when he has taken upon hlrnself the first obli gation he Is presentrt' n a friend. I stand, therefore, as n mister of Christ to speak to men who-' ...llmls are recep tive to a message, cf r.cndshlp, of a friendship more tha of tii!s earth and of a, heavenly friend. Jesus has every characteristic of a true friend. He Is always accessible; we aiever turn disappointed from His door. He de sires tho best things for us, and believes the best of us, but at the same time Is faithful to reprove our faults. He gives us fullest confidence and sympathy, nnd that continuously and endurlngly. To have an Inconstant friend Is to lean upon a staff that breaks and pierces the hnnd; there Is no constancy like that of Christ. To have a friend to whom we can not fully open our soul is to curb our hearts; Jesus was never nearer or more at' home with any people than He is today beside our modern manhood in the present dav stress of twentieth century life.

WORK FOR THE EX-CONVICTS Organint ou of Leagues in tha Stata PriioES of Iowa. "FATHER" COFFIN FORMULATES PLANS Remarkable Rraalts Already Achieved Hope Hall a Success Working 1 for a State Reformatory Law In Iowa. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINE8. May 29-(Special.) Hon. L. S. Coffin of Fort Dodge, better known In philanthropic work as "Father" Coffin, Is in Fort Madison today, where he ad dressed the prisoners In the Iowa state penitentiary preliminary to the coming of Mrs. Balling-ton Booth, who Is engaged in organizing among the pris oners a Volunteer league. The league has been organised at the Anamosa penitentiary,, where Mr. Coffin says It Is a great success and that the discipline of the prison has been vastly Improved since its organisation. The men pledge themselves to abstain from drinking and to assist in every way In the discipline of the institution. In a few weeks Mrs. Booth will organise the league at Fort Madison. Mr. Coffin has been engaged In thjs work and In speaking in the Interest of a change in the penal laws of the state for several years and co-operates with all agencies for the betterment of the condi tion of ex-convicts. In regard to this work Mr. Coffin said: The state of Iowa has been engaged for fifty years In deliberately muklng criminals instead of unmaking them. We have a prison policy that contemplates nothing In the wav of securing the reformation of the It. dividual. When 1 went before- the legis lative committee on penitentiaries last win ter and talked brlelly In favor of a re formatory measure, 1 told them of the fact that In the past five biennial periods alone there have been released from Iowa peni tentiaries upwards of 6.000 men. I pointed out that It was not merely In the legal de tention of those men that the legislature has a responsibility, but in the matter of turning them back into society, there to H.t nufiil nmtnhera or to tUrn tO lives Of crime. Over 2,uu0 of those men turned back upon society were young men, barely 21 or 22 years old. What possibilities in these men! How important that their welfare should be regarded! No Iowa Reformatory. I confess that It la amazing to me that we have no reformatory system nere in Iowa. I look to see the time when one of our penitentiaries is turned into a retorm atory. These young men who lire sent to prison are all capable of reform. They should be required either to reform or to r . um in iii orison Indefinitely. What we do Is to go to great expense to send men to prison and there place them Indiscrimin ately together where the persons naturally vicious and depraved may have the effect of making criminals out of those who are of betttr material. It Is a system which maker criminals 'ine surprising unn that so many go out and become good cltl- ASao rtnva ns-o I visited Anamosa prison and met two 01a men who i Both are old and feeble, one sitting in a wheel chair and unoble to travel, the other on crutches. I plUed them. But afterward 1 pitied them more when the warden told me that both would soon be releanod try expiration of their sentences. What pro vision is there for them? None whatever, and these men will go to the poorhouse, for they are utterly helpless. The old man who was paroled by the legislature is not with us. He Is afflicted with an Incurable cancer and we are not prepared to take men who simply desire a home. But these Illustrations show the necessity for some thing to be done. Mr.-Coffin is engaged all the time In lec turing at public meetings in the state in the Interest of a reformatory or a better system of prisons. He believes that good will come out of the appointment by the last legislature of a commission to Investi gate and report on legislation needed for this purpose Home for Ex-Convicts. "What Is being accomplished by you at your home for former convicts near Fort Dodge?" "I feel that we are doing well. We have a number of former prisoners with us all the time. They are coming and going all the time. They stay with us only until they get their bearings and find something to do. It Is not a permanent home for for mer prisoners. The men are welcome there to remain until they take on the armor of liberty. We have a system by which we go through an elaborate process of taking away the liberty of the Individual. Thus deprived of his liberty he remains the ward of the state up to a certain hour then he is thrust suddenly out upon scclety, with out any ceremony, without preparation to again take up the duties and rtghta cf a free man. My home furnishes a little aid to these men and enables those who desire to do right to get a start in the world. Real Reforms. "There Is no question now about the re forming effect of such treatment of per sons who have been in prison. Mrs. Booth has two great Hope halls where this work Is carried on. They have been in existence long enough so that something can be told of the work being accomplished. Of the thousands of men who have gone out of prison and Into the world through these In stitutions as resting places not over 2 or 8 per cent ever find their way back into prison. Of those who are turned out of prison after a first term and allowed to drift as they please the percentage runs anywhere tip to 20 or 25 per cent who get back again. 'The great need of the former convict on tils release from rrtson Is to get started right and to find some honorable employ ment. If tie la welcomed among his fellows and Is able to earn an honest living he has triumphed. There la a great work here for us to do In Iowa. We have been behind other states and far behind the times."

Holbrook, regent of the Btate university and chairman of the executive commit tee, arrived home from Iowa City today, where he had been called on official busi ness. In answer to the question, "How about the MacLean business?" Mr. Holbrook said he thought the subject had already received more attention than !t deserved. While he did not care to express himself on the matter, it seemed to him that some mem bers of the alumni were working over time In their attacks on President Mac Lean and were doing him much injustice, as well as Injuring the reputation of the university. The members of the alumni who have been holding meetings in the various towns of the state and demanding action on part of the regents were a very small proportion to the whole members in Iowa, and the trouble nnd agitation wns being considerably increased by the action of the newspapers and corre spondents, who seemed to be trying to work up something sensational. President MnoLean visited Onawa last year, where he delivered the address nt the dedication of the Onawa library and was the guest of Regent Holbrook nt that time. Other members of the alumni at Onawa say President MacLean talks too much.
