was wanted and He said it should not
be unheeded. S. How the account
of the restoring to life of the child
reminds one of the acts of Jesus IN
raising the son of the widow OF Main,
and the daughter Of the ruler.
We cannot close without calling at
tention to the Golden Text which is
the language of the great Paul found
in Romans 6, %, "The gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord" We have joy in hearing OF
the restoration to life of the child IN
the lesson and the son OF the widow,
but what overwhelming joy should
come, over the giving to each OF u.s.
who want it, everlasting, eternal life
through the merits of Jesus CHRIST.
Remember the words OF Jesus, VINO
soeyer liveth and believeth in me
shall never die" Added years OF earth
| ly life are indeed good, but far great
er is the gift of unending years where
there is no sickness and no more part
il ing. At this time when there is SO
much sickness in the homes and no
parent can tell when their child may
be in dangerous condition, there is but
one refuge, and that the throne OF the
mighty God. He may spare or take
away. If the former, let there be
thanks; if the latter, again thanks,
that we may in time follow where
there is no parting, no suffering, no
disease. Blessed indeed are those
with the Christian faith and hope.

ALUMNI INTERFERENCE.

The writer is an alumnus of the
state university, but he has never felt
that this gave him commission, eX-
officio, to be on the governing body.
There are new problems necessarily
arising from day to day with which
the ordinary alumnus cannot keep in
touch. 1t is much better therefore to
rely upon the judgment OF those in
control than to hasten with all-ad-
vised and hastily formed long range
criticisms.
We remember the school under the
cold and formal regime of President
Schaffer. Personally we thought him
much to diffident and unapproachable
for such a position. He was succeed
ed by President MacLean, who was
just the reverse in character. Some
thought he was too enthusiastic, too
"gushy," but it is a fact that he did
very much to upbuild the university
and to popularize it among the peo-
pie. Now. the board has decided that
he shall go, and that his place shall
be taken by young man by the name
of Bowman. We do not know him,
and we feel that his age will be a
handicap, especially in his efforts to

order that the children SnOulQ run ~
large upon the streets and we are glad
to note that but few children have ap-
peared upon the streets since the or
der went into effect. AS the days go
by, however, there will be many temp
tations to disobey the quarantine. 1t
will be hard to keep the neighbor's
children from coming to your place,
hard to keep your own children, hard
not to send Johnny on an errand. But
it is just on this strict observance that
the quarantine depends. The order
reads that children under eighteen
should be kept on the premises. This
order means just what it says. II your
children violate it you run the risk
of fine, and what is still more, you
run the risk of grave criticism as an
unlawabiding citizen. In short, the
general quarantine is not for other
people alone, it is for you. 1t means
your children and your premises. Two
weeks, is long spell to keep the
youngsters about the house, but it can
be done and perhaps it will afford
you a chance you have long been
needing to get better acquainted with
your children.
The quarantine has worked hard
ship on some institutions, notably the
college, and we feel genuinely sorry
for Mr.. VanNess in what must be a
very considerable loss. We would be
glad to be one to help make good the
loss. We believe the action of the
city board of health has met the ap-
prevail of very large majority of our
people, but it is now up to them to
make the order worth while by max
ing it effective Red Oak is quoted
as an example of place where the
schools have not been closed, but we
understand that the epidemic at that
place has run since last October and
that there have been thirteen deaths.
This is record which Denison does
not care to equal. If by the twentieth
of March we can have the disease I'M
der control we shall have won great
civic victory and the country round
about will have renewed confidence
in the ability of DenisOn to govern
itself and to keep itself healthy and
clean.
So far Denison has had three deaths
from the disease, both of them sad
and useless waste of human life. Let
US work together and pray together
that this shall be the end of the fatal
tiles.

manage a faculty much older than
himself, many of whom were among
his educators at an earlier day. This
is sufficient handicap, however, with
out the alumni of Fort Dodge or any
other town jumping in to damn" him
in advance. The action of Fort Dodge
was just as ill-advised as was the
action of the Davenport alumni in at
lacking President MacLean a number
of years ago. The alumni, per Sc, is
not a fit governing body for any
school. They may have deep affec-
ton, but that often bases. They
should 'boost" and advise when called
upon, but beyond that they are med
dlers and busy-bodies whose efforts
are neither asked nor wanted. We
are not in love with the present sys-
TEN of the control of state education
al institutions. We do not believe it
is a good system, but we do not be-
lieve that the fact that one is an alum
nus gives him a commission for scOld-
ing or fault-fnding or constitutes him
member of the university strategy
board. On the contrary, we think the
new man should be given every op-
portunity to prove his worth. This
does not diminish our liking for Pres
ident MacLean, or our regret that he
is to leave the institution for which
we believe he has accomplished very
much.

LOOSE SPEECH.
much.

We believe every newspaper man
has been victimized by the loose habit
of speech prevalent among many peo-
pie. Men of the best standing make
statements, detail exact statements,
which they would not care to see in
print and which they would deny if
they were printed. In order to prove
point, people are too prone to ex-
aggerate, to make the facts fit the
argument rather than to have the ar
gument fit the facts. A rumOr starts
from somewhere, goodness knows
where, and it spreads and grows un-
til some usually reliable man repeats
it to the news gatherer as fact. 1t
is printed and then woe betide the
printer. 1t was this way that the Bull
letin, years ago, announced the birth
of a son, several days in advance of
the appearance of the stork; it was
in this way the Review spoke of an
honored guest of Denison home as
the new "housekeeper," publication
which caused a prominent citizen to
rush to the editor with the statement,
What have you done? My house is
a hell But it. was his own daughter
who had given the transformation.
In these days there are the widest
rumors abroad as to the spread of
the scarlet fever. All sorts of stories
have been told as to the breaking of
quarantine, as to the schools, as to
the death of patients who are still
alive. It is no more reprehensible
to print mis-statement than it is to
repeat it to an individual. The editor
can only print what he hears from
supposedly reliable sources. He does
not have time to hunt down all such
statements; he can, and should, throw
out all that bears the earmarks of
mere rumor or of unreliability, but
when responsible person makes a
direct statement of fact he is justi-
fed in using that statement If it
proves inaccurate the onus must fall
not on the newspaper, but on the in
dividual. State the exact facts, wheth-
er talking to newspaper man or to
someone else. If you are telling a
"rumor" or report" be careful to
label it as such so that only such
credence may be given, as it deserves.
Newspapers are often victimized,
perhaps unconsciously, by people who
would like to get their opinions print
ed, but who shirk the responsibility
which must fall upon the editor Every
newspaper is acquainted with the
anonymous contributor and he is also
acquainted with the man who asks
the paper to pitch in" to some issue
which he would not dare to antag-
onize over his own signature. News
papers make mistakes, their state.
ments are often inaccurate, but no
more so than the sources upon which
they are compelled to rely for infor-
nation.

If We ARE IN EARNEST.

If Denison is in earnest about the
state normal school proposition there
are several things which must be
done. First, we must stave off any
action at this session of the legisla-
ture. This we are lead to believe has
been accomplished, as it is reported
that the treasury is not in condition
for increased expenditures at this
time.
Secondly, we must determine wheth-
er we want the state normal or wheth-
er we do not. We shall not at this
time attempt to argue the question
We shall simply make statement OF
fact. Iowa is prohibition state. Out
of ninety-nine counties We believe
there are but nineteen or twenty that
are "wet." The five-mile limit law
NAV not pass at this session, but it is
apt to pass at some later session. Ii
then Denison should secure state
normal, it would face the immediate
prospect of the loss OF it's saloons.
Further than this there is great
chance that the legislature, nearly
four-fifths of which come from dry
counties, would not establish a state
educational institution in wet
county.
Before any active campaign is made,
therefore, Denison should decide
whether it really wants such an insti-
tuition or whether it does not.
This question being decided, Deni-
son should begin it's campaign at least
a year in advance of the next session.
A committee of both republicans and
democrats should be appointed who
would have the matter in charge.
There should be sufficient publicity to
attract attention to the desirability
of our location and the offer we have
to make the state. The members OF
the legislature should be canvassed
in advance of the session, if possible
a friendly committee should be Sc
cured and the best possible man sent
to the legislature from this county to
Eush cur claims. Perhaps the pres
ent representative, with his expert
ence, would be the best man, we are
not prepared to say as to that, but
the fact that Denison wants state
normal if it does want one, should
be made the paramount issue at the
next legislative election in this county
regardless of personalities or of party.
A neat booklet should be prepared,
showing Denison at it's best This
should be prepared without the idea
of advertising any particular firm, but
of Denison as whole and the eX-
pense should be divided in such way
that those who prepare it can act with
unbiased judgment.
AS before stated, we are not argu-
ing the question at this time, we are
simply pointing the way for sue
cessful campaign, if Denison is in
earnest and decides that it wants a
state normal. That is a question for
the people to decide. But it would be
a sheer waste of time and money to
make the effort until that question is
decided.

Score One for Man
But It's Hard for
The Unlucky Ape
Especial Gable to The Call

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE skull
of what is believed to have been
the oldest ancestor of the hu-
man race yet unearthed has
been presented to the Academy
of Sciences by DR.. Henri Mar
tin, the archaeologist, a grand
son of the French historian of
the same name. 1t caused a
profound sensation among the
learned men, as it revealed sew
eral distinct differences to other
skulls previously looked upon
as the most ancient. 1t had
marked projections above the
eyes and extremely strong teeth,
Of a shape indicating that the
man who used them was un-
doubtedly herbivorous.
Although its exact scientific
value has not yet been deter
mined, the form of the skull is
thought to support the modern
theory that man IS not descend
ed from the ape, but that both
ape and man descended from
common ancestor, the ape de-
generating and the man improv-
ing. Doctor Martin thinks the
skeleton belonged to one of the
common ancestors.
The skull was found in the
course of a long series OF ex-
cavations in the department of
Charente, in southwestern
France. Doctor Martin has
had removed to his laboratories
a huge block of stone and earth
from which he hopes gradually
TO extract the entire skeleton
undamaged. The skull, which,
it is thought, will cause learned
discussions in all nations, is re
garded as a great treasure, and
special precautions have been
taken to guard it. Doctor Mar
tin has already guaranteed that
it will not be permitted to leave
France.

Former Chief Forester Tells OF
Finding Alaska Wood Good
for Fuel

SEATTLE, Oct. 17.-Gifford Pinchoi
and Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash

studying the resources of that terri
tory. They were the guests of honor
at a dinner at the Commercial club to-
night and left on a late train for Spo-
kane After short visit in that city

Pinchot, in an interview, said:
The trip of Senator Poindexter
and myself in Alaska has been
interesting and instructive. would
not have missed it for farm. We
were received everywhere with the
utmost courtesy, and that fact is
greatly to the credit of the people
of Alaska, because very many of
them before we came were under
the mistaken impression that the
conservationists were responsible
for tying up the coal. They know
better now.
The resources of the country are
even yet but partially known, and
many of those that are known are
undervalued. was met every
where, much to my amusement,
with the statement that the tim
ber of Alaska was of no possible
value. One man standing along
side a stove heaped with Alaska
wood, assured me that it was value
less for fuel and would not burn.
Another contended that Alaska
timber was useless for any purpose.
and said he knew all about 1t
because he had sawed several mill
lion feet of 1t. 1t did not occur
to him until afterward that his
illustration proved the direct con-
trary of his statement.
Pinchot smiled broadly when he read
former Secretary Ballinger's statement
made in Denver, September 2s, to the
effect that he did not intend to prose
cute Pinchot. The former chief for
ester said that he did not think the
public was interested in what Bal.

IA A1NAoW, 1Hllld, oSl. - -
II The imperial government be-
gan aggressive preparations
for the recapture of Hankow
and Wuchang today.
The first trainload of troops from
the north arrived on the scene, and
camped north of Hankow. Several
thousand more soldiers are on the
way, and are expected to arrive before
sundown
A detachment of the Wuchang gar
rison, which retired from that city
when the rebels entered, crossed the
Yangtse river above the city and
marched inland, probably to effect
junction with the troops from the
north.
Earlier in the day the imperial
naval force in the river was aug
mented by the arrival of one of the
|navy's modern gunboats, which car
ried Admiral Sab Chan Ping, who inn
mediately took command of the situa-
tion. His first move was to assure
the foreign consuls that the foreign
concessions would not be endangered
by any bombardment which he might
undertake. His purpose, it was be-
lieved, was to begin shelling the rebel
defense around Wuchang at once.
The Red Cross society organized
by the revolutionary leaders began to-
day removing the heaped up bodies
from the streets of Wuchang. Well
to do Chinese are subscribing liberal
ly to the funds for the work.
The revolutionary determination to
end the regime of official graft was
brought sharply to attention today by
the execution of an officer who had
been appointed to collect funds for the
rebel cause. He was caught in an at
tempt to divert some of the money to
his own pocket and promptly beheaded.
No trains are leaving the Hankow
terminal for the north, and 1t is uncer-
tain when service will be resumed. The
tracks have been cleared everywhere

Doctor Sun says the Young China
association and the Chinese Masons
