GOING BACK TO VIcKsRURa.

This week finds a large numper OF
veterans of the Civil war going back
to Vicksburg. Forty-three years ago
they were at vicksburg, the flower
Of Iowa young manhood. Today they
return, as the call Of the roll OF the
names of the men on the governors
special will show, men who are leaders
IN business, affairs of state, of highest
integrity, exemplary citizens, and
whose names are familiar to the PEG
Pile from the Mississippi to the Mis-
souri, OF course there. are those left
behind whose lack of health or wealth
may have prevented them from being
present at the dedication Of the Vicks-
Sburg monument, but they will all be
remembered.
Sixteen Of the northern states had
soldiers in the siege and defense OF
vicksburg, and Illinois is the only one
that sent more organizations than
Iowa, the former having seventy-nina,
the latter thirty-two. However, 1t re-
manned for an Iowan to begin the
movement for the establishment of the
National Military park. Captain John
f. Merry Of Manchester, then assistant
general passenger agent of the Illinois
Central railway, a member of the
Twenty-frst Iowa regiment, took the
Initiative and with the assistance #
others secured the passage Of the
necessary legislation in congress. The
National Military park association was
organized, and Captain W. T. Rigby
of Mount Vernon was made Its secre-
tary, and to him and to Captain Merry
may be given great share of the
credit for the movement which is now
as highly appreciated In other states
as it is in Iowa.
Assisting these men was the COM
mission from Iowa appointed by the
governor, Of which Captain Merry was
chairman, consisting of Hon. L. e.
Blanchard, Hon. j. A. Fitzpatrick, Hon.
3. j. G.. Bealer, David A. Haggard,
Hon w. o. Mitchell, Capt W. H. G..
Jaques, James H. Dean, Colonel H. Fl.
Rood, all of them having been in the
service at Vicksourg. 70 them was
priation made by the state of Iowa
this state.
The work has been we'll done and
now the boys who were on the grounds
when the siege was in progress go
back to dedicate the monument that
marks the spot where so many Of
their comrades lost their lives. Some
of them have been back since and
viewed the battle fields, and some of
them have not. Together they will
recall those days, and lnen as they
did at the close of the war, they will
separate, not to begin life anew, but
to make preparations for. it's close.
Illinois dedicated its monument last
month with appropriate ceremonies,
and now Iowa holds the fort.

IRELAND ON SOCIALISM.

In his toast at the annual dinner of
the Society of the Army of the Ten
nessee at, Council Bluffs, Archbishop
Ireland deplored the socialistic tenden-
cies among men and in communities.
His subject was "Ouc Country" and
it was in observing that progress and
prosperity are sure to bring some in
equalities that he took occasion to de-
nounce socialism as panacea for any
economic ills.
The archbishop said that it has be-
come almost public axiom that the
whole people will not be wrong the
whole time, but that the whole people
may be wrong part Of the time, and
1t Is the latter he says we must
strive to prevent. For Injury, IRE
parable injury may be done during a
brief interval of social or political In
sanity and a frequency of such condi-
tons, however brief each one may be,
too easily degenerates into abiding
habits
Refuge is sometimes taken in the
saying that you can fool all Of the peo-
ple some of the time and some of the
people all the time, but not all of the
people all the time 1t is felt that
there is safety in the latter conclusion,
that even though the people may be
fooled temporarily they will return to
the right principles 1t is against be-
ing fooled even temporarily with So
cialism that the archbishop warns
against. 1t is not like campaign is
sue Cor an open or closed town, for a
primary or caucus system, for prohibit
ton or local option. These things if
tried for A time and found unsatisfac-
tory can be changed with another cleo
ton. Socialism is revolutionary, and
the mistake of all of the people once
means an uprooting of all present eco
nomic and commercial systems such as
cannot be readjusted to their former
conditions with the ease that laws gov
erning some things can be enacted and
repealed If all of the people, or a
majority Of them are wrong once on
his proposition they will have some
hing that can not be undone as easily.
Archbishop Ireland says that the
ornerstone of the social structure is
he eight of every man to own and dis.
rose of the fruits Of brain and of hand !;
that this right must ever be regarded
as sacred and inviolable.
This prominent man of the church
will be potent factor in the contest
for the maintenance of the individual
system, and 1t is upon the men of such
influence as he possesses that much of
the work of teaching will fall 1t must
be work of education and continuous
teaching. That is what has aided great
ly in making socialism; that is what
must be done to counterfeit the move
ment. The republicans and democrats
make their campaim few weeks in
