Rev. Hanson to Preach
on Drama Experience

A sermon particularly adapted for
young men of this day and generation
is announced for tomorrow evening
in Messiah Lutheran Church by the
pastor, the Rev. II. w. A. Hanson. The
sermon is entitled "The Modern
Parable of the Prodigal Son."
The sermon suggests and draws
much of its material from one of the
greatest dramas of the modern stage,
Experience. No drama, it is claimed
has appeared within the past ten years
which will do as much to expose the
Shams and perils of modern life as this
drama of humanity. The Rev. Mr..
Hanson's sermon will deal very vitality
with the present-day life.

morrow to give funds for this purpose.
The movement is nationwide one,
started by proclamation by President
Wilson after il was endorsed and rec
commended by both branches of Con-
gress. Everywhere in America the ap-
peal is being responded TO.
Governor Brumbaugh recently issued
a proclamation calling attention to the
one OF President Wilson. and shortly
aftcrward Mayor E. S. Meals, Of Har-
risburg, made q direct appeal to resi-
dents OF the city. The executive COM
mittee of the Ministerial Association
of Harrisburg and vicinity last week
issued a statement endorsing the cam
paign and asking all ministers of the
association to appeal to the congre-
CATIONS. Every class and creed in
America is cooperating. BILLY" Sun
day, the noted evangelist, will take up
a special collection in his big taher-
nacle in Detroit. 4 contribution will
be taken up at Yale Harvard game at
New Haven later in the season.
Every effort is being made to raise
S5,000.00 for the immediate relief of
the destitute people of these two coun-
tries and to prevent the actual starva-
ton which one million Christians in
Asia Minor are now facing.

ment In Washington takes no notice OF
state censuses, and advertised Iowa as
the only state which had fallen of in
population between 1900 and 1910. It
was bitter pill. but It had to be swai-
lowed, and the unpleasant taste re-
manned for q considerable period.
OFFICIAL figures for eighty-five out OF
ninety mine counties have been given
out by the director of the census Of
1915 and show per cent gain in
population over 1910. If the same per
cent Of gain Is maintained in the other
fourteen counties, the population of
Iowa for 1915 will be 2,3S0,504, which
Will establish new high water mark,
ana which will help not only Iowa but
the rest Of the world to forget the I'M
favorable showing of 1910 as compared
with 1900.
The growth In population has been
in the cities, which makes II plain that
lowa's failure to keep pace with some
other states Is due to the simple fact
that Iowa is not a state of large cities
In the eighty-five counties that have
been officially passed on by the direc-
tor. II has been the rule that coun-
ties having cities within their limits
show gain. and counties without
cities have had difficulty in holding
their own.
Des Moines showed a gain of % per
cent in five years: Sioux City. 81 per
cent.

MOVING THE IOWA CAPITAL.
Nearly Sixty Years Since Capital Was
Moved From Iowa City.

The following interesting account Of
the removal OF the records Of the
various state offices from Iowa City to
Des Moines in the winter Of 1857 Is to
be found in the January number Of
1.-THE Iowa Journal OF History and Poll
tics" published by the State Historical
Society OF Iowa:
THE removal of the state offices and
the archives belonging to the state was
matter Of no ordinary undertaking.
There were no railroads in the state.
and the public highways were but
dimly outlined in our wide extended
prairies. Skunk river had to be
crossed to reach Des Moines. This
stream had bad reputation that ex-
tended from Maine to California as to
its habits of spreading itself. Several
of the small streams had no bridges
The citizens and teamsters OF Des
Moines, however, solved the problem
by sending men and teams from Des
Moines to assist in the removal.
1.-THE removal of the four safes. con-
sisting of one each for the secretary
of state, the treasurer of state. the
auditor OF state, and the superln-
tendent OF public instruction, was let
to Dr. Jesse Bowen of Iowa City. who
delivered them safely in the new CAPT.
toll after many days OF hard and tedious
work. The state treasurer's safe was
much the largest and very heavy.
During the Journey It was left in the
open prairie near Little -Four Mile
creek in Polk county &c. several days

THE SPECIAL WRITER WAS RlGHT.oNcE.

The special writer for a Chicago
newspaper. Mr.. Charles y. Wheeler.
states from inquiry and investigation
following President Wilson's visit, that
the presidents appeal for his prepared
ness plans failed to change the senti-
ment of Iowa in the least degree.
The assertion of the political writer
is entirely redundant. If there is
point of interest in it at all it lies
mainly in the fact that a special poll
teal writer for a Chicago newspaper
has come TO a correct conclusion on al
Iowa political situation. That is an in
frequent occurrence.
President Wilson failed even 10 flut-
ter Iowa into interest upon the alleged
principal object of his tour. The state
never turned a hair on preparation.
Nobody expected that II would. No
body was surprised that the prepare
ton plan Of the president brough; no
response. The state is precisely in the
same state Of mind that IL held before
it entertained the president.
Summed up 1t amounts 10 this: Iowa
was delighted with his visit. She fur
nished him good crowds and gave him
the cheers due him as president of the
I. S. a. She looked at Mrs. W with
unfeigned interest and found her good
10 look upon. She shook hands With
Mr.. Wilson tor MS own sake as man
Of strength and capacity. And having
been hospitable and courteous and
pleased TO meet you waved the train
across her borders to the futtering Of
handkerchiefs and turned busily TO her
own affairs.
SO far as changing Iowa in any par
ticular the presidents visit was utterly
ineffective. That seems to have been
the case wherever ne went. In the
rnunit!on centers and on the coasts
where interest and hysteria inter-
mingle 20 create military sentiment he
stirred enthusiasm already sufficiently
kindled. IN the Mississippi valley it
is not of evidence that he changed the
crossing Of a political u" or the dot
ting Of a political Il"
The fact is that the average Iowan
read Of the crowds and the complain Is
OF inefficient handling, OF Mrs. Wilson
and the president personally and dis
| missed the preparedness plans Of the
| president without much notice because
