POLICE CHIEF
MAY BE OUSTED
Councilman Charges Marshal and
Assistant With Incompet-
ency and Ineffi-
cheney.

FORT MADISON, Iowa, Aug. T.
At meeting of the city council here
last night, Councilman Storms advo-
Gated the removal from office Of Chief
of Police Henry Schier and Assistant
Chief Cy Kennedy for alleged 1ncom.
potency and inefficiency. He charged
that the men had apparently made
no effort to do their duty and SO
asked that they be discharged.
This was the result of long-stand-
ing action Some time ago this same
question was brought up, but in a
roundabout way. The police had
petitioned the council for a raise in
salary which, at that time was de-
MED, and so-called evidence was
then gathered against the chief and
his assistant.
At the council meeting last nigth
the policemen were given an increase.
The result Of the action of Coun-
Gilman Storms, which was not unex-
pected, was the appointing of a board
Of police and fire commissioners. In
the future they will have complete
charge of the appointments in the
police and fire departments. At the
present time Schier will serve as
police chief only until he is reap
pointed by the board of commission
ers or successor Is appointed to
take his place. This also applies to
the assistant chief.

Wilson's Moral COURAGE.

The New Republic: Lack of
moral courage can certainly not be i'm
Duted to President Wilson. If any un-
popular action must be undertaken in
the national interest, everybody else
lodges it, while the president puts it
through without flinching It was the
president who was forced to assume
responsibility for our entry into the
war for c,onscriptfon, for the unpre-
cedented policy Of immense loans to
foreign nations. 1t was the president
who alone dared to place quietus up
on the plan of rushing a volunteer di-
vision to France under a popular hero,
and who determined upon sending
overseas the flower of our regular
army When the vital matter Of food
control falls afoul Of conflicting and
widely represented interests, the presi-
dent comes promptly to the rescue.
Certainly a majority in both senate
and house recognized that the pres
ent was no proper occasion to inter
polate a sweeping domestic reform
like national prohibition into a war
measure. But many of those who rec
ognized this shrank from mourning
the odium of those Of their constit-
uents who place prohibition above
every other issue, and who are suffl-
GENTLY numerous in most constit-
uencies to turn the elections. Prest-
dent Wilson did not shrink from such
odium. Probably he would personally
prefer a bone dry nation, but not at
the expense of national harmony in the
existing crisis.

The number of exemptions
49, on account Of physical de-
c@ fects, or for other causes in
the list of the first 4S6 men
being examined by the Lee
county board this week, will deter.
mine in a large measure the number
of men to be called in the second call
which will be issued Monday Of next
week. It is believed by the members
of the board here, that another 500
men for the second call will bring the
required number of men.
Sheriff Scott and Auditor Hull prob
ably will look over the exemption
lists tomorrow, and see how many
there are from this end of the county.
Physical exemptions are not many, II
the record made today continues. Out
Of the siXty-one men examined up to
1:30 this afternoon sixteen had been
set aside for a second examination.
The doctors who are conducting these
examinations are Drs. Hogle and
COPYRIGHT; Drs. Armentrout and Narr-
ley, and the Drs. Dorsey.
Over so per cent Of the Lee county
men in the first 486 list have claimed
exemptions. Whether they are ex-
empted remains for the board to de-
eide. The number of exemptions will
in a measure determine the number
in the second call. 1t is believed that
an additional quota Of 500 men will
bring the required number for the new
army. The second call probably will
be issued next Monday or T Tuesday,
and examinations will be made next
week.
Drs. Smith and Fegers, who are con-
Quoting the examinations here, are as
sisted by DR.. Clarence H. Kinnaman,
who is filling out the necessary blanks
for the doctors and asking the requir-
ed questions Of the men being exam
