Speech of Acceptance by Captain
May Splendid Address of City
Superintendent of Schools Howell.
A handsome flag, tho plft of tho Pa
triotic Order Sons of America, of thlB
city, was presented to tho Scranton
high school at 3.30 yesterday nftcrnoon
with n stirring patriotic programme.
A parade of tho camps of tho city
was formed on Wyoming avenue at 3
o'clock nnd marched to Spruce street,
Franklin, Lackawanna, Washington,
arriving at the high school a half an
hour later.
J. II. Seward, of Green Ridge, was
grand marshal of the parade. The fol
lowing camps were represented, Nos.
25, 175, 177, 17S, 242, 333, 430. 572 and the
Bald Mount and Clark's Summit camps.
The drum corp of Camp 430 led the par
nde. Lawrenco's band was tho other
musical organization. A. J. Colborn,
Jr., state president of the order. Rev.
O. W. Welsh, D. L. Hawes and Frank
lin Phillips occupied a carriage.
On tho terrace nt the Intersection of
Washington avenue and Vino street the
polo had been raised and around It a
platform was laid for tho speakers and
guests of honor. But due to tho chilly
temperature and a strong breeze, .Sup
erintendent Howell decided to transfer
the exercises to the auditorium, which
could no more than half accommodate
the crowd asssemblcd.
Controllers T. J. Jennings, John Gib
bons. Anthony Walsh, B. M. Davis,
Kllas Evans, Captain May, D. I. Phil
lips, E. J. Leonard, John M. Casey, B.
T. Jayne, Alex Francois and O. B.
Schriefer were present and occupied
seats in front.
W. A. St. John was chairman of the
presentation exercises. Ho made a few
Introductory remarks and after the
band played "Three Cheers for the Red,
White and Blue" the high school pupils
directed by Prof. C. B. Derman sang
"America," and State President Col
born was Introduced to deliver the pre
sentation speech, which was as follows:
MR. COLBORN'S SPEECH.
For over a half century the Patriotic
Order Sons of America has been work
ing for God nnd our country. Virtue,
Intelligence and patriotism have been
the pillnrs upon which Its mighty
superstructure has been and ever must
be built; nnd out of these have grown
fraternity, benevolence and charity. It
alms to make Its members virtuous,
conscientious and God-fearing men.who
will bo honest In thought as well as In
purpose; honest in word as well as In
deed: so that In all things they may
be true to themselves, true to their
fellow-men and true to their God. It
holds that there can be no freedom
without Intelligence, nnd t the .end
that all may be free. It domnnrls ihnt
education be open to all and shall be
kept forever free from all sectarian In
lluence. It teaches that next to love of
God is love of country.
It believes In patriotic education nnd
was the llrst to advocate the teaching
of patriotism in our public schools, and
the first to recommend that the- flag
float from every school house. Jt an
tagonizes no religious faith and has
no partisan political affiliations. As
the representative of that order I have
the pleasure to present to the school
authorities of this city this beautiful
Hag to float over this magnificent school
building.
From the time warriors first buckled
on the sword to maintain supremacy
by force of arms, some symbol of sov
ereign mignt dyed In tho colors of
nature has blazed nt the front nn evnrv
contested field of pagan or of Christian
land. Men seal their devotion to an
Idea, a principle, with their lives; but
the mind Is so constituted that the
abstract thought must have material
existence, and this the Hag supplies;
for, by some occult process of transub
stantlation, It becomes in tho eyes of
the patriot the visible state the em
bodiment of nil that is grand and good
and true In the structure of the nation;
Its defense the one lesson of patriot
Ism, treason to its cause the unpardon
able sin.
OUR GLORIOUS ENSIGN.
All hall to our glorious ensign! O
banner of beauty and power! May It
ever wave in honor, in unsullied glory,
a beacon of liberty to nil tho lands.
On whatever spot it is planted, there
may freedom forever have an abiding
place, humanity a brave champion, and
religion an altar.
Its highest beauty is in what it sym
bolizes. It is because it represents nil,
that all gazo at it with delight and
reverence. It Is a piece of bunting
lifted In tho air; but it speaks sub
limely and every part has a voice. Be
hold it! Listen to It! Every star has
a tongue; every stripe Is articulate.
Whenever and wherever seen, it
awakens thoughts of country and
Kinuies patriotism.
It Is the Hag of history. Its thirteen
stripes tell tho story of our colonial
strugglo and how Independence was
won. They ppenk of the savage wilder
ness, of old Independence Hall, of Val
ley Forgo and Yorktown. Its stars tell
the story of our nation's growth how
It came from weakness to strength,
until Its gle.am In tho sunrise over tho
Islands of the Atlantic glows Into a
new rose-burst of dawn over tho far
away Islands of tho Pacific. It typllles
the nation It stands for our country.
It sneaks to our soldiers In tho din of
battle, cheers them in the long nnd
tedious inarch, and pleads with them
on the disastrous retreat.
It streams from our ships of war and
inspires our sailors to matchless deeds
of valor.
It Hies from our forts and public
buildings at home, and marks our em
bassies and consulates abroad. It
should float from every school house
in the land, and the sight of R should
always arouse our enthusiasm.
Because It Is the emblem of the na
tion's dignity, power, and protecting
care, let us twine each thread of Its
glorious tissues about our heait-strlngs,
and looking upon our homes, and catch
Ins the spirit that breathes upon us
from the battle-lields of our fathers,
brothers and sons, let us resolve that,
come weal or woo, wo will In life and
In death, now nnd forever, stand by
the stars and stripes. They huve float
ed over our cradleB. let It bo our prayer
and our strugglo that in full glory re
splendant they shall float over our
graves.
"Behold, Its streaming rays unite,
One mlngllni: flood of braided light;
Tho red that fires the Southern rose,
With spotless white from Northern
snows,
And, tpnngled o'er Its azure, see
The sister stars of Liberty.
Then hall the Bnnner or the Free,
Tho starry llowor of Liberty!"
Tho raising of the flag was scheduled
for tho next number, but was omitted
until nfter tho programme was con
cluded. The pupils and audience ttng
with rousing effect "Tho Star Spangled
Banner."
CAPTAIN MAY'S REMARKS.
Captain W. A. May was tho next
speaker. He accepted the flag on be
half of the board of control. He hoped
the beautiful emblem presented to tho
high school would mean more to tho
pupils than It ever meant before; that
It would teach us to remember tho vic
tories of peaco which are no less grent
than those of war. The tendency with
us, ho raid, is to forget what Is done
beneath tho surface by those who are
heroes no less than those who lay down
their lives on the Held of battle.
The Immortal Washington was enti
tled to $05,000 when ho laid down his
sword nt tho end of the S years of rev
olutionary strife, yet all ho took was
what he had spent, and ho kept nn
Itemized account of that. Tho speaker
urged upon tho board of control tlm
wisdom of emulating this example,
that they serve the public for the pub
lic good and not tlidlr own enrichment.
A quartette consisting of Ira Mitch
ell, W. S. Bartlett, Robert Evans and
William Jones, sang two choruses.
Superintendent Howell's address came
next, and It commanded the closest at
tention from beginning to end. It was
a masterful address, delivered in true
oratorical style. It was as follows:
Tho word patriotism Is a very old
word. The scholars of all ages have
delighted In Its use. Wo find It In the
lay of every minstrel, In the song of
every bard. In the theme of every poet.
It wns cradled by the Greeks, then
nurtured and fostered by all the na
tions of the earth. It Is a strong word
with a meaning: most profound. It
reaches beyond material things. It
touches the spiritual nature of man
and directs his sentiment nnd thought
to the fountain source of god-like
power. This word has no local habita
tion. It Is not confined by natural
meets and bounds. It means more than
a love of land, It means a lovo of the
fathers, of their thoughts and hopes,
of their deeds and aspirations.
True, our sympathy with nature, our
attachment -to place are very real. Wo
feel a kinship with tho stars of this
latitude and tho flowers of this clime;
for the mountains that uplift us to a
higher plane of thought; for the rivers
which bear our burdens; for the oceans
that make commercial friends in for
eign worlds.
AWAKEN TENDER THOUGHTS.
Our spring, our autumn, our personal
associations awaken tender thoughts
and memories. They have for us a
meaning, a sacredncss, a charm and
beauty which strange minds can not
feel, which strange eyes can not see.
The physical features of the land color
the soul and enter the domain of feel
ing as the face of a mother enteis the
love of a child. The heart of the
adopted Germnn swells with emotion
when he remembers the Rhine with Its
vine-clad hills nnd feudal castles, old
In story. The pulse of the adopted
Welshman beats high when he recalls
Hnrlech nnd the grandeur of Snow
don. The blood of the ndoptcd Irish
man quickens when the glories of
Wlcklow nnd Klllarney are repainted
on memory's canvas.
All men are a part of their natural
environment. Tho rivers, mountains,
valleys enshrine their charms In tho
human heart and help to make our
country dear. Even the ruins of what
our fathers built, the battlefields, the
graves of patriots and their monuments
make sacred the land. Hut these at
tachments, these associations, holy and
sweet as they are. are not of the real
essence of patriotism. Patriotism
dwells In the soul, not In tabernacles
of clay. Its highest form Is spiritual,
not material.
National consciousness Is a senti
ment, a divine abstraction, it is some
thing unfettered by physical laws. It
defies extinction.
Rivers may dry up, homes become
desolate, friends desert us, civil strife
rend the land, but our love of country
burns with undiminished glow. Its
light Is ns eternal as the stars; It Is
as Imperishable as religion, as Immor
tal as love.
Wo lovo our country not alone for
Its prosperity and protection, not so
much for Its commerce and Its fields
of golden grain, we love It above all
for tho richer, nobler human life It
makes possible. Its generous freedom,
its thought and mental endowments
which make national spirit and char
acter. WHAT EMERSON SAID.
Never, said Ralph Waldo Emerson,
never country had such a fortune In
Its geography, its history, and in Its
majestic possibilities. But because our
country Is great lot us not Imagine
that wo also nre great. America Is but
another name for opportunity. The
noblest patriot Is the one who strives
by day and night to make himself
worthy of tho country that has chris
tened him citizen.
The best expression of patriotism Is
found In constant work; In duties well
performed; In sacrifices emanating
freely from the heart s desire to servo
mankind and lift us to a higher plane
of civilization.
Patriotism Is generally associated
with heroism on the battlefield, but It
has a broader and a deeper meaning.
It is an attribute of character which
grows noble and strong In tho perform
ance of civil as well as military duties.
The Immortal Webster, who expound
ed our Constitution nnd crystallzed Its
spirit In living words, said: "Patriot
Ism is a passion which alms to serve
one's country, especially in times of
peace."
To associate patriotism at all time's
with belchlnpr cannon, smoking artil
lery, flashing; sabers and gleaming
bayonets Is a most serious mistake.
Patriotism Is not for the helmet and
plume and tented field alone. It be

longs in the workshop, the counting
room, tho market place, tho school
room, tho halls of legislation and the
courts of justice. Tho patriotism of
tho battlellcld Is but tho outward mani
festation of tho civic virtues that have
been developed at home.
Work without tho gleaming banner
or tho martial strain may seem fruit
less, but It has results. Silent work Is
not of necessity poor and Incffectlvo
work.
Under the Mosaic law It was an eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. War
was tho court of first and last resort.
Might was tho arbiter of rights. But
when tho Prlnco of Peaco came ho
transformed the mission of battle. On
helmet, shield and lance and all tho in
struments of war ho wrote tho sign by
which ho conquered, Pence on earth,
good will to men. He unsheathed no
sword to Justify his cause, stormed no
battlements, reduced no cities, led no
armies. As the Prince of Peaco he
ruled by love and filled the hearts of
his disciples with Christian courage.
INWARD VALOR.
There Is not only an outward, but an
Inward valor a valor of mind, of con
science, of self-sacrifice, of daring to
do right in face of the world's Inso
lence. When I.seo a man holding fast to tho
righteousness of a nation, proclaiming
aloud his scorn for humaif slavery and
human degradation, fortifying his be
lief In the ultimate triumph of mind
over matter and defending the execu
tive at Washington when clouds
shadow the White House and the na
tion, I know there is no higher hero
ism even on the battlefield.
The end of human destiny Is not to
be the best chieftlan, the best French
man, tho best German, the best Eng
lishman or the best American, but tho
best man. For
"An age like this demands
Great minds, brave hearts,
And strong and willing hands;
Men whom tho lust of olllce can not
kill;
Men whom the spoils of office can not
buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who can legislate and dare not
lie."
After more music by the band Pro
fessor George W. Phillips was Intro
duced but he said no more than that a
large part of the audience, meaning the
pupils, had been kept Indoors so long
that he would not be the one to keep
them any longer.
All adjourned to tho outside, nnd the
flag was drawn upward by Catherine
Burall, Minnie L. Peck and Margaret
H. Doster, three young ladles of the
high school. The band played "Tho
Star Spangled Banner" as the proud
emblem was spread to the breeze. It
Is 26x40 feet in diameter and was car
ried In tho parade by a detachment
In the form of a hollow square. Tho
polo stands 100 feet above ground.
iflR. PENNINGTON'S RECITAL.
Elm Park Church the Scene of a
Brilliant Event.
Lnst night's organ recital ot Elm
rark church was very largely attend
ed. Tho atmosphere seemed delight
fully rcfitful as In deference to Mr.
Pennington's request no applause was
given, and undisturbed enjoyment of
the fine programme was permitted. Mr.
Pennington's selections are almost cer
tain to bo unhackneyed In any sense
as his repertoire Is so vast that he
seldom repeats a selection at these re
citals from one year to tho next.
Last night he played with the ut
most feeling several numbers by dis
tinguished composers. Among them a
beautiful conceit Morceau by Gul
mant. which was wonderfully well ren
dered. Perhaps tho most charming
selection given was a Bastorole by
Wely. the Widor Toccata In F, was
i-ivtn by request.
Mrs. O'Brien was In excellent voice
and sang the exquisite "Promise of
Life." by Cowcn. In a manner char
acterized by the simplicity of feeling,
with which she always sings. Her
middle register seemed to bo specially
developing.
A distinct feature of enjoyment was
tho readings by Mlsa Caroline T.
Conkllng, who looked as If she might
have stepped from a fair picture of
Marie Antoinette's time, with her filmy
white gown and her charming face.
She has unusual grace of attitude and
her selections of subjects arc particu
larly happy. Last night she gave "The
Fiddle Told," whose pathos and ten
derness swayed her audience with
great piver. One of Eugene Field's
fascinating little poems and a lullaby
to organ music were most attractively
rendered. It Is to bo hoped that Mr.
Pennington will afford many of these
musical treats to the public this season.
QUARTERLY CONVENTION.
T. A. B. Societies Will Be Repre

The Catholic Total Abstinence socie
ties of the second district will hold a
