Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE
FATHER AND SON.
My country. tits of thee,
Sweet land Of liberty.

The man who wrote the lines that
have inspired millions is dead. His son
also is dead.
The son died last mouth a pardoned
convict on his way back to his old
home in the east
A life of startling contrast was that
of Samuel F. Smith, son of Samuel
Francis Smith, author Of the song
America"
Born in the east, given every advan-
tage of education, he married a daugh-
ter Of one of the leading families of
Massachusetts. He selected Daven-
port, Ia, as his future home.
Smith became one Of the leading
lawyers Of Iowa and served a term as
mayor of Davenport He had beau
tiful home a fine private library, en-
tertained handsomely, and his family
was prominent socially in the western
city
Personally Smith was a suave, court
~ gentleman OF native refinement and
was counted one of the successful men
of his state. He was also honored as the
son of the writer Of our national hymn
However
A few years ago whispers began to
be heard respecting his financial difl-
culties. It was some time before an
accounting was demanded. InvestIga-
ton showed that he was short more
than 100000. He had squandered
trust funds.
On trial Smith was found guilty OF
forgery and embezzlement and was
sentenced to eleven years in Fort Mad
ison prison.
That was five years ago.
A few months ago a movement wa:
started for his pardon. Sentiment re
specting the fathers sacred memory
pleaded for the son, and the pardon
| board granted the release.
Last month Samuel F. Smith, aged
seventy-three, but still courtly. started
back to the old home in Massachusetts
where his wife and daughter awaited
him
He died ON the way
Let us be glad that the son Of tn
author of sweet freedoms song" did
not die in prison cell.
1t was pathetic enough that the hon
ored name of Samuel F. Smith should
have been smirched by the crimes Of {
graceless son.
If the sins of the fathers be visited
upon the children to the third ant
fourth generation, why should not tn
virtues of the fathers last for a like
tenure? Is vice stronger than virtue?
No, but
The influences Of environment added
to free moral agency are stronger thar
the influence of heredity.
