SOME POINTED INQUIRIES

lDes Moines REGISTER and Leader.l
Now that the state board OF educa-
ton has again involved the university
at Iowa City in turmoil. and the dam
age has been done so far as damage
can be done thru unfortunate pub
Lefty, there is no reason why the sup
porters of the university thruout the
state should not be fully informed of
certain matters involving the good
faith Of the members Of the board who
have been most active in forcing the
retirement Of President Bowman.
In order that attention may be
focused to specify charges, and for
the purpose OF confirming or refuting
stories that have been In active cir
culation among the friends Of the uni
versity, The Register and Leader
wishes to ask a few pointed Dues
tons Of the men who are in position
to know:
l. Is it a fact that Mr.. Trewin. at
that time chairman OF the board
demanded OF President Bowman that
DR.. Whites be named as head Of the
medical department, Mr.. Trewin al
the time acting as attorney for the
Whites estate?
2. Is it fact that Mr.. Boyd, mem
Der of the executive committee OF
the board, went to DR.. Bowman and
pressed upon him the importance Of
doing as Mr.. Trewin demanded, and
when DR.. Bowman finally and def
nitely refused that. Mr.. Boyd told
him in words that were plainly un-
derstood that he would regret It?
8. Is il q fact that other members
hn,
cause Of this transaction, determined
to GUST Mr.. Trewin az chairman OF
the board, and Mr.. Trewln refusing
to call the regular meeting for the
election of chairman was finally
forced to act by notice served upon
him, and that three months after his
term had properly expired he hur-
riedly sent in his resignation?
1. Is it fact that the motion tc
go over President Bowman's head n
the matter of dismissing the head OF
the music department was offered
by Mr.. Trewin, and was seconded by
Mr.. Eiker, who alone had stood with
Trewin in support Of DR.. Whites. also
for personal reasons?
5. Is 1t fact that Mr.. Trewin wal
responsible for the selection Of DR.
Bowman for the vacancy created bS
the enforced resignation OF DR.. Mac
Lean, and that so long as DR.. Bow
man consented to act in accordance
with Mr.. Trewin's instructions he wa:
wholly satisfactory to Mr.. Trewin, bu1

responsibilities Of his position, and tt
show that he. possessed the qualities
demanded Of a college president, he

Topics Of the Times

The troubles Of the educational
board seem to be q case Of too much
Trewin.
The general opinion Of the press OF
the state is that neither Fred White
or Bashor will get to nrst base and
that Rowley IL out on strikes.
So far Bowman has none the worst
Of 1t.
Somehow there doesn't seem to be
the suffering that 1t was expected the
income tax would create.
Whenever bunch Of men begin to
| march around together demanding en- :
ployment 1t Is q good time for some
body who really wants work to slip
off by himself and look for job.
There's almost always q job II a man
goes still-hunting for it.
Ninety per cent Of the paroled con-
victs under the Wisconsin system made
good. Since August. 1907. $50 men
have been paroled, 10 per cent have
violated their parole and are back in
prison and 1856 have received their final
discharge. An estimate of the value
to production Of men working for
themselves and the cost of keeping
them in prison would show decided
ly favorable balance In favor of giving
the man who has gone wrong a
chance.
Those French women haven't learned
how to satisfy their honor without
shooting straight. There's big differ
ence between a French duelist and a
woman mad enough to shoot.
Speaking Of the high cost OF living
ask your grandmother what she paid
for a calico dress just after the civil
war. When you buy fine piece Of
goods today at today's prices it IL well
to remember that ten yards OF calico
cost from IS to So for the mere ma
terial then. And while we are about
it we might compare wages. Look up
few of these things and feel better.

Reindeer in Alaska

oAA4SAoiS VI lle AldSAA DIVISION,
bureau Of education, today gave en-
phatic denial to a recently published
statement that the reindeer in Alaska
are "deteriorating and diminishing"
They declare that, on the contrary, the
Alaskan reindeer are constantly in
creasinS In number and that there has
been no deterioration.
The recently completed tabulation of
the returns contained In the annual re-
ports OF the superintendent OF the
herds shows that there were, June 80.
1913, 1926 reindeer In the sixty two
Alaskan herds, or net increase Of %
per cent during the fiscal year. This
il considered a fair rate OF increase,
especially since nearly 5000 reindeer
were killed for food and skins during
the year. Only 1858 Of the reindeer are
owned by the government; 5,047 are
owned by MISSIONS: 1894 by Laps:
and the remaining 30,532 are owned by
791 Eskimos and Indians, whose In
come from the reindeer industry dur
ing the fiscal year was $66,966. The
reindeer belonging to these natives
have an estimated value Of $763,S00.
The government is planning to go out
of the reindeer business as fast as IT
can train natives for individual owner
ship, the policy being to encourage in
dependence and initiative among the
native population. Distribution of rein
deer is in charge Of the United States
school teachers. and it is expected that
the government will dispose Of all its
reindeer within the next four years.
Discussing the statement that the
Alaskan reindeer are growing smaller
because Of inbreeding, Mr. W. T. Lopp,
chief of the Alaska division, main
tains that the reindeer now in Alaska
are larger animals than those which
comprised the original stock imported
from Siberia Mr. Lopp states: Alaska
affords a better range than Siberia.
The climate is better. The herds aver
age more than 700 reindeer each, SO
that the danger of inbreeding can not
be serious. Necessarily there Is more
inbreeding among the scattered bands
Of wild caribou. On the other hand
since the caribou are larger than the
reindeer, their mixture with a number
Of our reindeer herds seems to have
improved the size. At the same time
it has been noticed that the introduce
ton Of wild blood makes herding more
difficult.
"Pasturage is good in most parts OF
western and northern Alaska, but few
reindeer herds are kept in the wind
swept regions along the northwest
coast, where the winter moss frequent
ly becomes coated with ice from alter
nate freezing and thawing. This pre-
vents the herd from securing proper
food, and results in understood deer.
Mosquitoes are also cause Of stunted
growth. Herds at some distance from
the coast need to be kept we'll up on
the mountain slopes to avoid the
mosquito pests.
THE greatest immediate menace to
the welfare Of the reindeer lies in the
tundra fires, started in the region OF
the mining camps. There is plenty of
grass and foliage for the deer in sum-
mer. but in winter 1t is the tundra
moss that furnishes forage, and to
destroy it is to deal a blow to one OF
Alaska's most promising industries"

says the Davenport Democrat. They
feel that he should have had the sup

ignation will bring to many minds the
question whether the management OF

with many friends to please and to
help to appointments, is indeed an i'm
provement on the method formerly in

minister announced that an agree
ment had been reached between Ru-
mania and Bulgaria under which Ru-
mania will restore to Bulgaria the
province of Dobrudja and most OF the
other territory which she acquired
from Bulgaria as a result OF the Sec

try. I'VE shall continue to be neutral
and believe that Rumania, although
she has no cause to fear us, also will
remain neutral"
It has been asserted that the fear
of Bulgaria alone had prevented Ru
mania from invading Austria and en-
tering the present war on the side OF
the allies.
eff Greece would return Kavala and
the Macedonian territory she annexed
during the second Balkan war and
Servia would restore to US the Mace
DOMAIN provinces she occupied, de
spite her agreement of 1912, the Bal

"DRY" BILL LOSES
IN LOWER HOUSE
1877 For, 1888 Against Ma.
tiOnaI Prohibition

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Representa.
tive Hobson's resolution proposing
nationwide ~Rrohibition through an
amendment to the federal constitution
was defeated in the house.
The vote was 1917 for and 1S9
against the resolution, one member
voting present.
It required a two-thirds vote\of the
present membership OF the housNA or
288, to pass the resolution. The dryS
therefore, fell 81 votes short in their
remarkable fight to bring about ma
tion-wide drought.
They were disappointed also in fail
ing to obtain a majority of the house
in favor of the resolution, for they
had banked on this to give impetus to
their struggle in the future for legis.
lation of this kind. A majority of the
present house is PIT, so that the pro-
hibition advocates fell just 20 votes
shy.
The first amendment voted on was
offered by Representative Mann, OF
Illinois. This amendment provided
that the constitutional amendment
should be submitted to the states in
stead of to the legislatures, as was
proposed in the Hobson measures.
This was beaten, 210 to 116.
An amendment by Representative
Morrison, Democrat, of Indiana, pro.
posed to strike out the Hobson reso-
luton and substitute for it one pro-
hibiting the importation of liquor into
any state. This was defeated, 313 to
Al.
Representative Adamson, of Geor-
gia, Democrat. proposed an amend
ment giving the states the exclusive
right to enforce the provisions of the
proposed Hobson resolution. The Hob
son measure gave the federal govern
ment the right to act concurrently
with the states. This was defeated
overwhelmingly
