Gray haired veterans of the civil war

JestiTduy morning, when at the Invitation
f the pastor, Hev. W..' B. Clemmer, the
members of Abe Lincoln post. Grand Army

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:

todiiy to you nut only as Individuals, but
as representatives of that groat army upon

a nation tli.es not consist In lis standing
armies, I's coast defenses or Its iron-clad
navy, but In the spontaneity with which
its manhood responds In .time of danger
and uprising.'
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

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

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. He also said that

j SPEAKS TO KMGIITS OP PYTHIAS
j Hey. Bnrlff Takes as His Topic "Celes
J tlal Friendship."
I "Celestial Friendship" was the theme
j used by Rev. A. E. 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.

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."

Regent Holbronk Says Members of
AInntnl Are Injnrlnst Inlreralty.
ONAWA, la,, May 29.-Speclal.) R. K.
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.
