Tho Greatest Century.

1.-THE nineteenth century measured
not by its years, but by what it did
is the greatest Of all the world has
ever seen. 1 do not mean merely
greater than any other one century
but greater than all the previous cen
turtles together"
The great forces which are now
being used by men existed prior to
the last century but 1t was then that
they were controlled and made for he
first time to serve mems need.
Gorernor Clarke then spoke Of the
great privilege 1t has been for men
and women to live in this greatest
of centuries and In closing paid rare
tribute to the brave men and women
who, imbued with the spirit of pro
gress which marked the greatest OF
centuries, came to Iowa and to Lee
county and laid the foundations for
the greatest commonwealth which we
possess.

Picnic Dinner.
Following the address Of Mr.. Nc
Manus, the session Of the forenoon
was adjourned and the visitors scat
tered over the park to form numerous
little picnic groups under the big
trees. Dinner was served by two
churches in the park and many Of the
visitors went to homes OF friends in
the city.
Afternoon Session.
In spite of excessive heat, the after
non saw much larger crowds in the
park than those OF the morning. A
great many Fort Madison people as
sembled at the park to hear Governor
George w. Clarke speak.
At o'clock the meeting was again
called to order by President Picskard
and following music by the band,
Judge w. S. Hamilton briefly intro
duced Iowa's chief executive.
The theme OF Governor Clarke's
able address was the measurement OF
mans life It is not in years, but in
deeds that the true measure is found,
according to the speaker.
Deeds Tell Most.
"a mans life is not measured by
the span of his years." said the gov
ernor, 1T is more properly measured
by his deeds, by the love which en-
riches his heart, by the appreciation
Of beauty and goodness and the sub
Unity of the world in which he lives
and lastly. by the interest he takes in
the well-being Of his fellow men.
"The highly organized man Of to-
day lives more in the three-score and
ten years of his life than Methusela
lived in the thousand years of his re-
puted early life. Today we have the
great example Of him who came to
teach life. I came that we might have
life and that abundantly' these are
the words of the greatest teacher OF
life.
And how abundant is life in
America and In this great state today.
Never before has there been such a
general diffusion Of knowledge, such
comfort. such wealth, such homes.
such mechanical perfection as today
The speaker then illustrated his
point briefly and spoke Of the astound.
ing genius Of man which may be met
