MAY BE
ASKED TO RESIGN
Iowa Alumni Interested In Report
That CowIes will Agitate
+, Change In State University.

Local alumni Of the state university
of Iowa are interested IN the an
nounoement that President Mcbride
may be asked to resign. Following Is
the Iowa city despatch concerning
this move:
sensation was created in unfyer-
sity circles-the greatest since the ex-
plosion that resulted in the vanishing
of President John G. Bowman-when
IT was announced here Thursday aft
ernoon that Gardner Cowles, the new
members of the Iowa state board of
education, had openly stated in Dsas
Moines that President T. II. Mcbride
was to be requested to resign.
Cowles, 1t is said, predicted that
the board would take this action i'm
mediateIy after the adjournment of
the legislature, thus baking the ven
cradle scientists many friends among
the lawmakers. who would resent the
action and take prompt measures to
prevent it InasnAlch as Cowles was
forthwith turned down by the legis-
lature, it is believed here that Presi-
dent McBride's friends in the general
assembly promptly punished the Reg
lister and Leader man by refusing to
confirm his appointment, made by
Governor Clarke. Faculty members
at Iowa admit that they had heard.
that President McBride's term was to
close with the coming commencement
but they lave no evidence to verify
this report. DIR. Mcbride was to have
been in Sioux City Thursday, but he
was called to Seattle. Wash, to the
Swallowed home of his bereaved son,
Philip ID. Mcbride, last week, and has
not returned, wherefore 1t Ia impos-
sihle to get an interview with him.
The state board openly stated for
publication, during the past year, that
DIR. Mcbride was making good" and
they re-honored him by giving him
the title of president, as against act
ing president, after they had tested
him for a year.

AS announced last week In The

of the Evangelical ministers was held
at the First Evangelical church, Bur

conference.-the publication OF the
e. P. U. has been received.
We wish to say that we are in full
accord with you and with all the
christian men and women of our ma
ton in the endeavor to bring about
a speedy termination of this deplor-
able war, and we are fully convinced
that the sooner the shipment of war
materials from our shores ceases,
the sooner the war will come to an
end, and that Europe will be once
more blessed with the peace for
which the entire nation made suppl
cation at the call Of the president. In
the meantime it should be our first
duty, and we think especially the
sacred duty of Church Peace Union
to submit to the declaration OF strict
neutrality, as proclaimed by the presi-
dent of the United States.
We, therefore, consider it not at all
in accord with the attitude of the
United States as neutral nation,
that any public society in our country
should, at this time, pass Judgment as
to the responsibility OF one or the 9TH
er Of the warning European nations,
as you do in some OF your publica-
tions!
The proper time for fixing the re-
sponsibility will have arrived when
the European nations are ready to set
tie their disputes at peace confer
ence. Your attitude in regard to the
war, as expressed in some of yonr
pamphlets, therefore, is violation
of the neutrality of our country. as
solemnly proclaimed by this govern
ment.
This unqualified violation of neu-
trality is certainly not becoming to Il
Church Peace Union.
On the other hand, you are not only
taking sides in regard to the warning
nations as a society which expects
to be supported by all the churches of
this country, but it pains us to say
that you are insulting in yourS writ
ings two great nations with whom
our country Is on friendly relations,
namely, Austria-Hungary and Ger
many. We have the impression that
your language is not the language OF
peace and brotherly love, but it is
rather the language Of prejudice, ami
mostly and hatred!
We, as ministers Of the German
- 81
and as citizens Of the United States,
emphatically protest against your in
suit to two great nations with whom
cur country is at peace and in friend
ship, and against your improper and
language in some of your
publications.

DIRT AND DEATH.

Public health Is purchaSaoie is
the slogan of the State Department
of Health. How are we going to pur-
chase it, may be asked the depart
ment The outstanding theme which
runs through all that the department
writes and speaks-the keynote of all
literature on health conservation
whether public or private is, to put
it badly: Clean up and keep clean.
The reason that men live longer to-
day than they did century and more
ago is because they are cleaner. says
the Utica IN. Y..) Observer. If de-
ceased horses, dogs and cats were
left to rot in the streets; II cities
were without sewers and the people
drank water which they obtained ont
of wells: if flies were not swatted
and screened out. and if women were
not so particular about making
things look decent" the death rate
would be as high as it used to be and
the average length of life would be
short, as 1t used to be. A feature of
the middle ages was dirt and filth
and right along with it went disease
and death.
As the members of the human race
both in their community and In their
personal habits, became cleaner, life
became sweeter and longer.
There is a strong sentiment the
world over to the effect that the way
to fight disease is not through drugs,
but through clean air. clean water
and clean food, and the only way TO
get these is to keep the city and the
human body clean.
The shortest distance known to the
sanitary expert is between the hand
and the mouth, so, above all things, it
is necessary to keep the hands clean.
particularly before eating.
The story of Typhoid Mary" the
human carrier of typhoid fever, stands
out as an illustration of how unclean
habits may transmit disease. There
is just one way that typhoid may be
from one person to an
other and that is through the wastes
of the body. Typhoid Mary" is a

typhoid fever became typhoid car
riers, though NEST of them are not
cooks, and are not so virulent as
Mary. In 1913 over 5000 persons in
the United States died Of typhoid, not
TO mention the 100000 who recovered.
Cleanliness is the great preventive.
And it is as effective against other
diseases as it is against typhoid.
Still what long way the race can
go in this business of cleaning up
and staying, clean, In boarding houses

Weakness Of Church.

The church is weak, Dr. Sage said
because the members are not being

boldly. The most successful travelling
man IS the one who believes in his
house and his goods. The analogy to
the christian was easily traced
do we realize" he said, that the
world would not be what it is if the
christian men and women would bear
witness. Would we have to look out
on a vast army of unemployed. this
winter; would we have had to see
women suffering. and children almost
naked: would we have seen under
paid men and women and children
working as slaves? There would be
no labor question in the church or the

comfort of the promise that they shall

Rev. John c. Sage in His Sermon
Speaks of Failure to Bear Wit

The failure of christian men and

urged them to, when He returned to
His disciples following the resurrec-
ton. has resulted in the problem OF

Members of the council attended the
church in body, at the invitation OF
the rector, to observe its annual me-
mortal custom.
DR.. Sage took for his text the verse
from the twenty-fourth chapter of
Luke, "Ye are the witnesses of these
things He pictured the scene OF
the coming of the Master following
the resurrection, and His appearance
to the disciples who were gathered
together. 1t was hard for them to
realize that Christ had risen. he said,
but that the truth was forced on
them, when Christ showed the marks
in his hands and feet, and explained
to them that He was not ghost. but
the same Christ, and asked for some
thing to eat.

Who Will Be Witness.


Have you ever considered how
many thousands Of people saw Christ
but how few witness His return. The
message came to every member of the
christian church throughout the
world, 'Ye are the witnesses Of these
things. The failure of the christian
church today is because it's members
have failed to heed the message and
to be witnesses First of all the wit
ness of the resurrection is within our.
selves. Man need not be told that
this gospel story is true for man has
witness within himself. You christian
men and women know the words are
true The spirit of Christ stands neal
to forgive and beekon you on to bet
ter things.
