IS MADE DOCTOR OF LAWS PY— New York Executive Speaks Refore ent Day Requirement. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.—As has beén its custom for nearly 100 years, the anni- versary of the birth of George Washing- ton was observed today \by the University of Pennsylvania as “University ‘day,” the feature of which was the announcement of 4 number of gifts to the Institution, the conferring of degrees and the address of Governor Hughes of New York. The exer- clses were held in the Academy of Music. Governor Hughes was honored with the degreo of doctor of laws. Provost Chales C. Harrison announged that the medical school had been given $100,000 by an unnamed alumnus to endow A chalr, the occupant to be known as “the Benjamin Rush professor of physio- logical chemistry.” The provost also made known that in a few days the university will come into $50,000 for the endowment of ten beds In the university hospital. Presenting Governor Hughss, Provost Harrison spoke of the govérnor's ‘‘courage and disinterestedness. “In all our minds, in an our hearts” ‘the provost said, “‘a great light shines forth i the firmanent of our country in the character and personality of ths gentleman who is about to address us. Honest Service Present Problem. Governor Hughes sald in part “The problem of America today Is to se- cure honest' and faithful performance of publfc obligation. Important questions con- staritly claim our attention and it is easy In the zeal of political controversy and in the debates of policy, ly to lose sight of the simple requirements of fidelity in administration. But we cannot afford to forget that whatever the merit of Jegisla- tive proposals, the final test must ever be found In the character and purpose of public servants. We have been sickened with the corruption that rots public enter- prise and with the spectacle of legislative hells and administrative offices turned Into market places, where the exercise of governmental powers is made the subject of barter and sale, “We have representative government; but how shall we improve the quality of repre- entation save by Infusing the young men of the country with the spirit of Washing- ton and thus assuring constant and cordfal responae to the imperatives af honor? how, save by developing that sense of obliga- tion and that invincible loyaity to trust which made Washington not simply a mili- tary hero und a popular and trusted leader In a critical period of history, but beyond that_the incarnation of public virtue and the type forever, in this nation and all others of the true public servant—the ideal representative of the people? “The artifides of political manipulators were to him contemptible. Alike In defeat and in victory, whether as military™Pen- eral or as a chief magistrate, nothing could seduce or daunt or affright him or shake that agherence to the principles of fair dealing and honorable execution of duty Which made him the smbodiment of the cuure of liberty. Significant Feature of Today. “The most significant feature of our present life is not the widespread existence of evil, but the organized efforts to check It; Mot the regrettable display of avarice, but the determination to protect the publio Interest against overreaching cupldit; the waste of lives In luxurious Idlenes but the magnitude of frujtful endeavor; not the prevalance of vice and misery, but the extension of reformatory agencies and the organisation of philanthropy; not clvie Indifference, howeyer lamentable may be its seope,” but the widening demands of public spirit and the more emphatia as- sertion of community rights; not political manipulation, but the Indignation of the People at its abuses; not falthless legis- Iators and-administrative offiolals, but the rosentment which they arouse and the. nar- rowing range of their illieit activities “We shall not avoid mistakes, but in the main neither inflammatory and demogog- lcal appeal nor the dishonest arguments of upecial privilege will control the final but- come.. Of first Importance s that' we Should respect the Institutions of gup coun- try and love the ways of calm .Péason.

The parole board will meet In a few days and elect him to the place Motives of Rallroads: A coal dealer at Rejnbeck complains to the Staty Rallroad commission about fall- ure to get cars of coal from West Liberty and Cedar Rdpids and. asks: “Are the raflroads doing all they can to get this coal forward, as they sey they are, or are they holding it that they may confiscate it for their own use?’ The raliroad eom- misaion declines to answer the. question dl- rectly, as it is purely. psychological, and they are unable to say what is going on in the minds of the railroad ‘managers. Very many such complamts are received. lowa Boy is Advanced. State Superintendent Riggs today received from Commissioner Brown of the federal bureau of education, notice that Harlan Updegraff, formerly of Knoxville, has been made chief of the bureau of statistics at Washington and that he will soon visit Towa on a-tour of the states.

Tobin, collector of internal reyenus for the northern district of lowa, states that the heads of corporations have been very slow In sending In thelr reports as re- quired under the new federal law. Their time limit Is March 1, and a very large proportion are still delinquent, and he be: lMeves that a great many penalties will be affixed for fallure to make the reports for taxation. Will Remove County Aftorney. 1t is probable that very soon steps will be taken by the state, if the local authori: tles do not act, to see whether or not the county attorsey of Henry county should be removed under state law. Most positive siatemenits have been made and publlshed to his delinquency in office, so that he has been at times unable to transact the business of the office. The court has not thus far taken any action. PAYS FOR CHILDREN'S VISIT Prans Brockman Wil Have Family at Golden Wedding 11 Posaible. | | | An CRESTON, Ta, Feb. ZZ.A\E»N:)II.L—MLI and Mrs, Franz W.

Set apart in the structure will be a hall of fame, in which #pace will be allotted to all the grand juris- dictions in' the country to place tablets to | the memories of their distingulshed sons. | The memorial would stand on Washing- | ton street. Close by Is the old Christ | church, where, in his mature years, Wash- Ington served as a vestryman. On a fleld | not far off he held his last military re- view. Across a shaded green in the stately old court house he cast his last vote, and there his will-is filed. Nataral Site for Memor! Alexandria, by undlsputed consent, Is the natural site for the memorial. Washington moved to Mount Vernon when he was 16, with_his half-brother, Lawrence, and until the chill, raw day of his death it was his bome and Alexandria was his home town. He became a member of its councll, repre- | sented it in the House of Burgesses, en- | dowed its schools, blished its fire de- partment and was master of its lodge. The men who will form the association met today in the same Alexandria-Wash- ington lodge room, where Washington oc- cupied the master's chair. While no fixed plan.could be announced prior to the as- sembly of all the grand masters, it is In short the purpose of the lodge to false §1,000,000 to build and endow the memorial. The institution will be unique among the memorials of the world and will permit every grand jurisdiction’ to honor every Mason it estéems to be deserving with a leaf in its hall of fame, a photograph and a blography. The gathering of such men of prominence in the old lodge was impressive. Alexan- dria-Washington Jodge No. 2, made Wash- ington its worshipful grand master in 1788, At his request in 1791 it laid the corner- stone of the District of Columbla, and two years later assisted in laying the corner- stone of the national capitol. In 1799 it performed the Masonic ceremonies at his tuneral. Mementoes of Dead President. In its halls, erowded with precious me- mentoes, his meniorial was organized {oday. There hangs the old charter granted by Edmund Randolph, grand -master of Ma- sons In Virginia, in 8., Close by, its pendulum cord cut and its hands pointing to twenty minutes after ten In the even- ing—the hour and the minute of his death —stands the 0ld bed chamber clock. No money could buy this sllent old tale-bearer. Nearby In & case is the little trowel he used at laying the capitol corner-stone. In another are his wedding gloves, his pocket compasses, farm spurs, a plece of his tent used at Yorktown, his old-fashioned med- lcine scales and an eloquent token of his reverence for his mother—a little knife she |®ave to him ae a reward for his obedience, {and which he greasured for fifty-six years. The Willlams pleture, painted from life in 1794, hangs on another wall. It cannot escape the eye, for it is much unlike the accepted likenesses of Washington. It {shows the man in his extreme old age and Is the only origimal life pleture extant, in Masonic regalia. His Masonic apron, em- | broidered in gold with French and Amer- fcan flags entwined, presented to the lodge in 1812 by his nephew, Lawrence Leéwls, hangs nearby. The only original painting |of Lord Fairfax, Washington's early pa- tron and friend, is also there. New Site for National Memorial, The master's chair, occupied by General | Washington in presiding over the lodge, |stands in a glass case, from which it is removed only on extraordinary occasions, It |is 122 years old and was I\ constant use | for 117 years. Scores of other things of his day, the old chairs” and benches of the lodge still in use, the front door key of the Bastlle, presented In 1525 by Lafavette, | which have come from relatives and triends, are valued beyond estimate. There had been a sentiment against | chodsing a new site for the memorial, but for a great many ressons the one proposed on Washington street is better fitted to the purposes of a national undertaking, and the necessities have outwelghed the | patriotic sentiment and have won a gra ful consent to the niew site.
