Rev. r, B. McAIIister VIII Discuss at
Baptist Church This Problem
of Moral Codes for
Both Sexes.
zAYs PEOPLE UNJUST
Believes Solution of Social Evils
May Come From Some Plan for
Single Standard for
Both Sexes.

On Sunday night, Rev. F. B. Nc
AlIister, OF the First Baptist church,
will treat with one Of the most serious
problems that is confronting our age.
equal standard of morals for men and
women. Mr.. McAllister contends
that In history and today on the for
eign fields men and women are not
better morally than is expected OF
them. II we demanded and insisted
that there be an equal standard for
men as for women and that folk shall
be as harsh IN their treatment OF the
man, as the woman that is guilty, the
problem of the social disease would
largely vanish and the social evil
which attacts every village and ham,
let, as we'll as city, would largely be
abolished. We condemn the actions
Of the woman but smile at the sins OF
the man and this encouragement is
only the means Of causing the great
social vices to thrive and prosper,
and because Of this, some of us are
losing our wives, daughters, and moth
ers to fill up the fast depicting ranks
of that short lived hord OF women.
Rev. McAll1ster declares we are
unsocial and unreasonable in our de-
manG that there shall be an unequal
standard. We insist that the rich man
as we'll as poor man shall have an
equal chance at the bar of justice, but
we do not insist that man and woman
shall have the same equal justice. We
have demanded that we shall have one
standard Of morals in regard to slav-
cry. polygamy. and lottery in national
life, so that, what is wrong for one
state is wrong for another, and what
is an evil for one man Is an evil for
another. This Is, however, not our
attitude with regards to our great
problem of problems. Rev. McAllister
will discuss the advisability Of the
. "Hygenic Certificate" in connection
with this topic. The subject, which Is
30 seldom dealt with from the pulpit
yet which Is pertinent to our moral
welfare, will no doubt be an education
to the people of Keokuk.

Random Sketches
The Late bishop Lee.

It Is well that oc .asionally the
names of the pioneers OF q state be
called to memory whether those pio-
neers were prominent in moulding the
fundamental laws which govern; con-
spicuous in promoting the agr1cui-
tural or industrial progress or blazed
the way for better moral and re-
ligious tendency. They were our
benefactors no matter in which field
they worked They added to the pro-
gram and well-being Of Iowa and that
is enough.
This is a bright New Year day
when thoughts should have an occas-
sional serious vein amid much merri-
ment and happiness which the Christ
mas and New Year holidays always
bring.
The pioneer selected to be remem-
bered in this hasty sketch Is Henry
W. Lee, the first Episcopal bishop OF
Iowa. He was an eminent and honor
ed man in his day.
Bishop Lee was born at Hamden,
Connecticut, on July 20. 1915. The
more appropriate is this recollection
Of him because we are just entering
upon the year which will witness the
one-hundredth anniversary Of his
birth, and no doubt the Episcopal
church of Iowa. will take due notice
Of this anniversary on July 20 OF this
year.
A few months after the birth OF
this son, the father removed to Spring
field, Mass, where the son spent his
youthful days and received his edu-
cation. In October 1889 he was or
dained to the ministry Of the Episco-
Pal church by Bishop Griswold. He
was called to be rector OF Christ
church at Springfield in April 1910,
where he remained three years and
from there went to St. Luke's church
at Rochester. II. T., where he remain
ed eleven years. The degree ct D. D.
was confrred upon him by Hobart col
lege in 1850 and by the university OF
Rochester in 1852. In 1867 the degree
of LII. D. was conferred on him by
the university OF Cambridge, England.
On June /, 1854 DR.. Henry w. Lee
was selected bishop Of the diocese of
Iowa and on October rs, was con-
secrated at Rochester in the presence
of the bishops OF New York, Massa-
chusetts, Maine Michigan and I'LL
nois, Bishop Eastman of Vermont
presiding.
Bishop Lee made visit to the prin-
cipal churches Of Iowa in the fall OF
that year and in January 1855, sixty
years ago, removed to Davenport. He
Immediately entered industriously up
on his work of raising permanent
fund for the diocese which was in
volved in more than 5000 acres of
LAND which as the years went by be-
came valuable, yielding large in
come. He was instrumental in found
ing Griswold college at Davenport
which was opened in 1850. In 1867
he made a visit to the principle coun-
tries Of Europe. preaching in some OF
the largest churches OF England,
France and Ireland.
After an arduous service Of twenty
years as bishop OF Iowa he died at
his home on September &c, 1874. The
last great work he gave to the do
cese of Iowa is fitting monument
to his memory This last work was
the erection Of Grace cathedral at
Davenport He was truly man to
be reverted as his life work amply
testifies.

gard the Indictment against me un-

failure to file a tax return is a
crime, then thousands OF our most
honorable citizens have committed
the same crime, not only this year
but year after year"
States Attorney Hoyne declared
that the three men indicted had
been chosen because their promi-
nence would more forcibly bring to
the attention Of the public the ex-

Having thus narrated the offences
committed IN Belgium, which II mas
been proper 10 consider as whole
we now turn 20 another branch OF the
subject, the breaches Of the usageS OF
war which appear IN the conduct OF
the German army generally.
This branch has been considered un-
der the following heads:
First. The treatment Of non-com-
hatants. whether IN Belgium or IN
France including: a the killing OF
-combatants in France; lhl the
treatment Of women and children 'c)
the using Of innocent non-combatant.

ing. and the wanton destruction OF
property.
Secondly. Offences committed in the
course Of ordinary military operations,
which violate the usagcs Of war and
the provisions Of the Hague Conven-
ton. This division includes: az Kill
ing the wounded or prisoners; b hr-
ing on hospitals or on the Red cross

(b) Firing on Hospitals or on
the Red Cross Ambulances
or Stretcher Bearers.

This subject may conveniently be
divided into three subdivisions, name
ly, firing on
% Hospital buildings and other Red
Cross establishments.
~ Ambulances.
80 Stretcher bearers.
Under the first and second cate
gorles there is obvious difficulty in
proving intention, especially under the
conditions Of modern long range artil-
lery fire. A commanding officers duty
is to give strict orders TO respect hos
pitfalls, ambulance, etc, an also 10
place Red Cross units as far away as
possible from any Legitimate line of
fire. But with all care come accidents
must happen, a9d many reported cases
will be ambiguous At the same time
when military observer have formed
a distinct opinion tina, buildings and
persons under the recognizable pro-
lection of the Red Cross were will
fully fired upon, such opinions cannot
be disregarded.
90 As 10 firing on ambulances, the
evidence is more explicit.
In one case the witness is quite clear
