Press Agents for Churches.
From the Topeka Journal.

This is q suggestion that comes from
some of the leaders in the men and re-
lieion movement. 1t is followed by a
prediction from Chicago that many con-
gregations will have professional public
ity directors on their executive STATS
before another year has passed. That
churches need a wider publicity of their
affairs to stimulate the interest of their
members and outsiders is not to be gain
said It has been demonstrated right here
in Topeka Of late that a judicious adver-
Using Of church services, pointing out
features that are certain to be attractive
to many, has resulted in congregations
Of a size that had never been dreamed
Of before. But for a church to engage
the services Of a professional press
agent-well, that Is a different. proposi-
ton.

Neglected.

Bill Bivvins has a lonesome time;
His wife's a suffragette.
She utters sentiments sublime
While Bill runs into debt.
She vows that woman ought to be
A leader in the fray.
Bill doesn't stop to disagree,
But simply says "Hooray.''
She says her object Is to add
To human happiness,
But Bill Is goin' to the bad
And she is, more or less,
Displeased. With patriotic care
She loves her country still,
So much she hasn't time to spare
Fur lovin' poor old Bill.

'hicaco Inter Ocean

From the Chicago Inter ocean.
In Berlin the police investigate every
fire and the responsible person pays the
cost Of putting out that IRE, and dam
ages besides. The result Is that Berlin
has an annual fire loss Of $500 600, while
Chicago, approximately Of equal size,
has an annual fire loss Of $5.OOOOO0. In
the last analysis almost every fire Is q
crime and should be punished.

the students who refused to join the
strikers, because, the Governor eX-
planned, of threats of certain of the
strikers that they would remain until
the faculty complied with their de-
mands Or until they tore up the col
lege and carried away the entire stu
dent body" This announcement fol-
lowed the adoption of resolutions by
the executive committee of the Board
of Trustees endorsing the faculty and
describing the action of the students
as ''highhanded." The strikers, the
resolutions declare, have been misled.
About 200 of the 700 students at
tended chapel exercises Monday. Last
night about 500 were on the campus
and college officials declare they have
assurances that at least $50 will re-
main. Sixty-one members of the
senior class, who led the insurgent
movement have been expelled and
others suspended.
The strike followed the promulga-
ton of ruling of President Hightow-
er prohibiting the young men attending
the institution visiting the young WON
en- students outside of study hours or
of conversing with them except dur
ing recitation in the class rooms. The
seniors took exception to the ruling as
an insult to the young women and
when an apology was not Forthcoming
from the faculty the strike was called
All members of the faculty and about
200 boys met for chapel exercises Mon
day morning as usual. Governor Brew
er gave these boys heart to hear
talk and told them plainly they had to
obey the mandates of the college au
thorities or leave at once and thai
those who wanted to remain and per
form their duty should have the high
est protection of the law.
