the first ballot, and when we have
achieved that we will be highly salts

the stock yards, rendering useless
some of the railway tracks coming

wholesale houses in the west bot

morning in the throes of the most
serious flood since 1908. Thtre is no
possibility, however, of as great
flood as that year when millions of
dollars damage was done. There is
every indication that the crest of the
flood will be reached this afternoon,
and that within another "a hours both
the Kaw and the Missouri at this
point will begin to fall.
Railway traffic is badly demoralized

nearly at a standstill. One-fourth of

TALK TO OLD
SOLDIERS

Birmingham, Ala, June 10.-At the

of the most important features. His
address, in part, was as follows:
Address of Clement A. Evans.
This assembly is representative of
that part of the country commonly
called the South. 1t stands, as a body
| for the true citizenry of a powerful
section of the United States. The
people thus represented have views
of true civic virtues, and of the true
social status, and the distinct res
possibilities of the American people
which are shared by the greater num-
| ber of our countrymen everywhere.

| pie of the Union. In fact this truly
grand gathering represents the intel
| ligence and the energies, the tradi-
| tions and the history, the intense pat
riotism and the exalted hopes of a
chivalric people whose ancestors
were leaders of great prominence in
| the founding of our Constitutional Re-
public.
The Special Objects.
The special work chosen by the
great soldiers organization here in
annual session is purely patriotic,
peacemaking, beneficial to the whole
country and valuable to poseterity
forever It's principal objects are to
preserve comradeship; to establish
justice and purity in all literature,
especially IN history; to abolish sec
| tional discord; to promote genuine
and generous courtesies among the
people whose fathers nearly half a
century ago strove for the mastery
with bloody severity four years upon
many historical battlefelds.
! In proper furtherance of these
grand designs. heroism is being also
commemorated by durable monu-
ments as well as by every other token
that can inspire men with the true
heroic spirit and the love of truth
which makes a people free indeed,
and it must be further stated that
among this cluster of starry guides
to National Glory it has become nee
essary to place Southern and Nation

claims of the South for better recog-
nitio1 should be allowed; that its To-

the inhabitants Of one of the most
polyelot and poorest sections OF many
tongued Chicago. The great majority
of those who came before him we're
guilty OF minor offenses, such as
drunkenness and petty thieving, and
consequently formed good subjects for
the reform Judge.
Drink, drugs, and physical defectsl
In these causes Judge Cleland believes
he has discovered the root Of nearly
all wrong doing. His process Of rea-
soning is simple. The causes first
must be removed. and then the state
must see to II that the offender has
n chance to mend his ways. That pun.
ishment rarely corrects is the belief
Of Judge CleIand, and so he set about
to give those who fell into the clutches
of the law a chance of redemption
without stripes.
To one OF the simple and direct
methods of thinking which character
lied Judge Cleland presidents we're
Of no importance.
Judge Cleland has expressed on
many occasions his detestation OF
prisons and his belief that they are
productive OF more harm than good.
As well as being a deeply religious
man. he Is an active church worker
and officiates as superintendent of the
Sunday school Of his church. He is
also on the boards Of numerous re-
nGious and semi-religious organiza-
tons. and any cause which has for its
purport the betterment Of humanity
is sure to Ind strong friend In the
Judge.
Judge Cleland was born In Delhi. N.
Y. in 1880. but his family moved to
Minnesota when he was three years
old and he spent his boyhood on q
farm. He graduated from Monmouth
(Ill) college In 1882 and went to St.
Louis, where he graduated from Wash.
ington University Law school In 1884.
He worked his way through the law
school by doing newspaper work. The
next year he came to Chicago and
started to practice law, first as part
ner with d. H. Pinney, exjustice of
the supreme court of Arizona, and
later with Delos P. Phelps, formerly
assistant United States treasurer.
When the municipal court system
was lnaugurated he offered himself
for election and received the hearty
backing of the churches and law and
order leagues of Englewood, where he
has lived for 20 years and where he is
universally respected. He is married
and has four children.
The Judge is not man who has
much time for amusements. All his
life he has been a hard worker and
more than ever at present when in ad-
dition to his judicial duties he takes
an active part in the work of so many
religious and other organizations
