The outlook abroad is certainly more
assuring. Our panic imposed a heavy
strain in London, Berlin and Paris, which
was endured without important conse-
quences American credit received stag
gering blow from recent scandals in cor

Americans are actively at work raising
their business standards, and that Amer
lean securities have proved safer and
more profitable than any other foreign
investments, will do much to revive con-
fidence abroad. In Germany there has
been more or less fear OF collapse be-
cause OF general OVERRIDING similar to

he watered the vine with the blood of

500 and it is quite possible that the
convention will be attended by 200 or
800 members.
Manufacturing Co., is chairman of the
executive committee of the associa-

PEOPLES PULPIT.

I have been very much interested in
the discussion of prohibition in the
Peoples Pulpit The present agitation
against the drink habit is world wide.
In France posters against drink des-
cribe the evil effects of alcohol. Lee
turers go to prisons and explain to
the prisoners the connection between
alcohol and crime. These expenses
are met by the government. They con-
slider the interest and welfare of all
the people rather than the individual
or corporation pocketbook. The drink
agitation is strong in England and
ireland. And in China, SO long
thought to be hopeless in her opium
habits, have been recorded extraor-
binary results through self control
and through imposed laws.
The present temperance campaign
is no longer religious as in the days
of John B. Cough, but purely practical

tutes the pulpit. No bell Is used, and
yet service hour finds every man and
woman in his or her place. Services
are conducted by one of the 80 elders.
Services, as we'll as the conversation
of daily life, are in German. The de-
votions consist of reading from the
Bible and from the inspiration of
modern prophets. For but 20 years
ago Barbara lehman, the last
prophet of the society died, and ever
since the members have been longing
and hoping for the arrival Of new
prophet.
Not musical instrument is to be
heard in the village, unless it is play
ed by some stranger passing through.
for these are forbidden the members,
and all praise of God Is by voice.
Celebacy is the highest ideal Of
their life, but realizing long ago that
this strictly adhered to would arrest
growth of their community they have
for years endured rather than en-
couraged matrimony. A rather unique
plan has been in vogue in the COM
munity which might be more gener-
ally patterned after as a solution for
the divorce evil There are five vii
lagos in the community and when 4
young man announces his determine
ton to make young woman his wife
he takes his few necessities and de-
parts for another village. There ac-
cording to the law of the community
he must remain for the period of one
year without sight of or communica-

JERRY SULLIVAN ANNOUNCES
HIS WITHDRAWAL FROM
SENATORIAL. RACE.

Des Moines. April 1O.-Hon. jerry
B. Sullivan will not be candidate for
the democratic nomination for the
United States senate at the primary
election of June 2. He authorized the
statement yesterday.
This leaves Claude R. Porter Ut
Centerville as probably the only can
didate who will go on the democratic
ticket
1t is said now not to be certain that
Mr.. Porter will put his name on the
ballot, although there has been q
strong movement toward democrats

the preference OF the party for sena-

Originally James B. Weaver an
nounced his candidacy for the senn-
torial nomination, but at Cedar Rap

candidacy for governor. At the Bryan

1t was understood at that time that
Jerry B. Sullivan and Claude R. Por'
ter would be the candidates before
the democrats for the senatorial pref
erence vote. Mr.. Sullivan's decision
not to be candidate. announced yes
| terday, puts new face on the stu
alton entirely and the democrats ar:
wondering if Mr.. Porter's name will
go ON the official ballot at the primary
election.
To Be Consistent:
/ 1t was the understanding at the
Bryan conference that the names
would go on the ballot. This meant {
campaign. Mr.. Sullivan was reluctan
to take the time for a campaign, am
he and his friends decided not to e
into the race. Whether this leaves
Mr.. Porter the option Of going on thu
ballot or not remains to be developed
The candidates have until April % tt
file their nomination papers.
George F. Rinehart and other prom
inent democrats have argued in favo
of democrats putting their names OF
the ballot. This has been in the in
, terest of consistency. The democrat
in this state as we'll as in the natio,
have demanded popular election D

, sible to get to that, under the consti
tuition, is the Iowa method of givin
the voters of each party the chanc
to express their preference. In thi
way the voters actually choose tn
