BANTIIER'S ' DISAPPEARANCE

Officials at the city hall are enjoying a '
small sensation over the disappearance of
Assistant City Engineer Charles Uanthcr.
who Is reported to have taken a sudden de
parture from Council Bluffs. The last seen
of Banther by any of his associates In the
city building was on Monday afternoon , and
he Is supposed to have left the city that
night or some tlmo Tuesday morning. '
The worst feature of the case appears to !
be that Banthur has left his wife uud family
entirely destitute , and those who claim to
know say there Is llttlo prospect of his i
coming back. It has been moro or less an '
open seciet for some time that Banthcr was |
paying particular attention to a young
woman , and It IB alleged that a largo portion ,
of his salary , instead of being used by him
to support his family , went to buy presents
for her. This Intimacy became known to
Mra. Banther , and It was understood that
Uanthcr agreed to cease his attentions. An
arrangement was made whereby Mrs.
Banther each month drew her husband's
salary warrant. It was ou this express con-
dltlon that Hanther was permitted to retain |
his position In the employ of the city. A
week or so ago the young woman left for t
the east , her parents having decided that |
was the best way to break up the Intimacy , i
Although there Is nothing to show where
Handier has gone It IB believed that he has
followed her. Before leaving the city
Banthcr Is stated to have borrowed a sum I
of $90 from a well known loan broker , glv- |
Ing n mortgage on his furniture. Ho Is also j
said to have borrowed a considerable sum |
of money from a local pawnbroker who
makes a business of discounting the war
rants of city employes.
, Mrs. Banthcr called at the office of Chief
of Pollco Blxby yesterday morning nnd
asked his aid In locating her husband. To
Chief Blxby rhe stated her husband had
left her nnd her family of four children en
tirely destitute.
Banther , prior to being appointed assistant
city engineer , was employed In the office of
the defunct democratic organ , the Globe.

Prof. George D. Hcrron of Grlnnell , whoso
utterances on "Christian Socialism" have
created so much attention , delivered one of
his lectures last night at the Broadway
Methodist church to a fair-sized audi
ence. His subject he announced as Corpora
tions , Trusts and Consciences , " being a di
gest of the eight lectures delivered by him j 1
recently in Chicago. Prof. Herron , who I
looks the deep student that he undoubtadly '
is , has a well modulated voice and speaks ]
with deliberation so that every word shall
hnvo Its effect. He sold , In part :
Broadly speaking , the social problem is a
problem of how to organize the world that
nil men may bo equally secure in the mate
rial means and resources needful for a com
plete life. The hope of the social reformer
Is to op.cn wide the gateb of opportunity
so that every creature , from the least to
the greatest , may make his life n moral ad
venture and a joy , and exhaust his possl-
blllties In the thing he can best do. All
that Is good in civilization must bo for the
equal use of all nnd there must be equal
freedom for each to choose the work that
will beet fulfill his serving capacity and
individualities.
Along with the culmination of the social
system , Indeed at the very heart of It , Is
culminating a now kind of conscience. Thu
responslbilty of the Individual for the whole
human life , the responsibility of the whole
for each individual. Is its distance mark and
quality. The Individual feels himself en
slaved nnd oppressed in the enslavement
and oppression of his brethren. This con-
bcieuco Is the precipitation of the idea and
the Initiative of Jesus ; it Is the elfectual
working of the leaven which bo put Into
mankind eighteen centuries ago.
When I call the new conscience Christian
1 do not HBO the word in any professional
or pletlstlc sense. I do not mean that any
particular form of religion need be accepted.
The social awakening duos not come in the
name of Christianity ; it comes without ob-
borvation , almost as a now religion springIng -
Ing up from the human soul. HH most
manifest activities and evolutions nro un
conscious of their relation to him wo call
Christ. The truest faith of today rejects
much that Is preached ami professed as
Christianity. Many things done in Ills name
are the things which Jesus btood against ,
and the things He Btood for nre done by
many who cell themselves materialists or
agnostics.
Now , that which makes the ethical tragedy
of the present moment Is the chasm between
the existing civilization nnd the now con
science. The Boclnl crisis discloses con
science and civilization becoming separate
entitles. Civilization no longer represents
the conscience of the Individuals who must
find therein their work. The facts nnd forces
that now organize Industry and ( .o-callcd
jiibtli'u violate the best In&tlncta of man
kind. For instance , I cannot come from
Iowa college to thlu city to speak to you
against the existing order of things wltnout
tiding upon a railway system , the capital
ization of which IB largely watered stock.
Although a laigo part of American industry
Is organized by this system < > f watered
stockb. nnd wo consent to it tamely nnd
Ignoruntly. It IH yet the worst historic form
of indirect usurpation and tyranny ; nnd It
renders our national wealth In large part
purely fictitious. Again , this railway system
practically admlnlsteis the gavelnmcnt of
the United Suites in all things thpt content
the system , nnd the government of thu
several Mates of thu union ns well. The
majority of the United States senators re
cently elected have been Its moro appointees
and lobbyists and agents at the sumo time
for other corporate properties.
If 1 put sugar Into my coffee I support
n tnibt that practically administers the
llnnncjcs of the United States for personal
profit.
Again , In order to send my children to the
public school , that holy of holies in the
temple of American freedom , I must buy
the books ordered by a private corporation
that has forcibly assumed the functions of
administering the fioo school system of the
United Stutua ns private property ; that em-
idoyb gangs of ruffians to go up and down
these btatcs and prepiues school legislation
for private profit ; that appoints school
superintendents. Intimidates bchool princi
pals , throws out of employment and black
lists teachers who dnro reject Ita pub
lications.
It Is only the densest ethical Ignorance
that talks about a 'Christian buslneeu life : '
for business Is now Instinctively evil , what
ever good may conic out of It. Whoever
says that a man can live the Christian life
while at the same time practicing In the
present order of things ! , is cither profound
In tbo lack of knowledge or else ho delib
erately lies. There are no honest goods to
buv or sell ; adulterated foods , shoddy manu
facture of all that we Wenr , tbo under-paid
labor and consumed llfp that make every
Kurmont a texture of falsehood , the hideous
rompptltlvc war thnt slays Us millions
where swords nnd cannon slay their tens ,
nil unite to bnflle nnd mock the efforts of
the awakened conscience nt every turn , nnd
make the Industrial system seem like the
triumph of hell and madness on earth.
Wn nre told thnt there Is lack of work ,
but 1 millions more of vnllpy find hlltsldn
ncros nre ready to l > Um om with cotton nnd
the wool of slieep , that they may clothe the
millions of Ill-clad children nnd their mls-
otnbk * mothers ; millions of tons of ore and
fuel in the hearts of mountains and the
depths of unrth promise to come forth
for the wealth nnd warmth of the inllllouH
asking to fulfill the promise by the labor of
their hamK
If a few men own the earth we ran llvo
on the earth only on their torms. It la
economic , power nlono that run reduce
humanity to mndnefrs. Tlio armies of ene
mies nnd conquerors are ns tmiKhioonu co'n-
pared with the armies of dullari. which
human 1 beings must have or starve It Is
this economic throne , already casting Its
red ' shadow of universal empire over n fear
ful nnd anxious world , tlmt wage earners
nre \ building for their masters , good nnd
bad alike.
It follows then , tint the nul-llo ownership
of i the sources nnd means of production '
the i sole answer to the social question nnd
the ' sole basis of spiritual liberty. Pilvnto
ownership ' of public resources Is prl.-ato
j' ownership ' of humnn beings. Both body nnd
soul are enslaved by n system which makes
one ( human being dependent upon another
for the opportunity to earn his bread and
de\olop . hla life. There is no wcurlty for
any i sort of liberty , no basis for n complete
and free Individuality , except In n civiliza
tion ' in which nil shall work for the com
mon good and each hnvo free access to the
supply of every sort of need. The common
owershlp. of the earth Is the only ground
upon which true property and llbctty can
bo built. The economic liberty which se
cures equality of opportunities Is the only
crrund on which the sons of men can rls-e
to the glory of the Sons of God. The pro
duction nnd distribution of wealth for the
common ] good will prove the highest form
of spiritual liberty yet attained. The quest
for this 8tilrltu.il liberty Is the motive by
which the poclal drama mubt bo Interpreted
and ; the spurt of private ownership Is the
villain In the drama.

The Board of Education held a special
called meeting jcsterday afternoon In the
olllce of President Sims , when the minutes
of the last session were read and approved.
This was done In order that Secretary Ross
might file , as required by law , a transcript
of the proceedings of the board with County
Superintendent Sawyer in connection with
the appeal brought by T. L. Smith against
the board's selection of the Oakland avenue
property as the site for the new High school
building.
The minutes , which will form an Impor
tant feature In the hearing of the appeal ,
&how that at the regular meeting of the
board on Monday , April 17 , the first ballot
taken on the selection of a site resulted
in Oakland avenue getting three votes , and
the property at Fifth avenue and Seventh
street four votes , two of which wore con
ditional. Olio of the latter was conditional
on the property being purchased for 19,000 ,
and the other , conditional on the property
being purchased for thnt amount and thnt
It should bo suitable as a site for the new
High school. The minutes further show
that a motion to coet another ballot and.
cancel the former one was carried unanl-
mously , and that the second ballot resulted
In Oakland avenue securing four votes and
the Fifth avenue nnd Seventh street property
three votes , one of which again was con
ditional.
Every member of the board repudiates the
allegations made In the petition of Slack
Potcrson for an Injunction that President
Sims acted unlawfully in permitting a second
end ballot to be taken. Mr. Moore , who
voted every time for the Fifth avenue lo
cation , stated yesterday that everyone of
them agreed and were willing to ballot the
second time. "Wo felt sure that we had
n majority for the Fifth avenue lots , but
were defeated , " said he.
The members of the board who were
against the Oakland avenue site deprecate
the fight inaugurated by the opponents nnd
nro determined to stand by the action < tf
the board.
The healing on the application for thn
Injunction asked for by Slack Peterson will
come up in the district court Monday. Su
perintendent Sawyer said yesterday that he
did not think he would , bo prepared to set
the tlmo for the hearing of the appeal of
T. L. Smith until some date after the hear
ing In the district court.
