CONGRESSIONAL BUG IS BIS
Several Iowa Statesmen May Have to
Fight for Places.
MUSTACHE AID TC WHITE PLAGUE
tate I.ertnrer Kepford shares OS
Own Adornment aa Insanitary
and Advises Others to
Do Same.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Msy ,10 -(Special. Indica
tions are that there will be more aspirants
for republican congressional nominations
at the next contest than ever before in, the
history of the state. This will undoubtedly
be true If congress doesn't soon adjourn so
the Iowa congressmen can return to re
pair their fences. The latest aspirant tor
congressional honors appears as an op
ponent to Walter I. Smith the standpatter
whose position in congress has been said
to be impregnable. His opponent Is Sena
tor Bruce of Cass county. It has long
been said that Smith is In line for the
speakership of the lower house of congresa.
If Bruce pushes his fight it will be an In
teresting one. Smith claims the distinction
of having always been nominated for off're
In conventions without a dissenting vote.
In the primary fight he may not be so
fortunate.
Down In Hepburn's old district there are
innumerable candidates for the republican
nomination of both standpatters and pro
gressives. It Is very likely that each fac
tion will hold a conference and decide upon
some representative to enter the primary.
Should all who aspire to the nomination
enter It would be a serious problem as to
what the outcome would' be. There is the
reKular biennial talk of opposition to Hull
In the Seventh district, but as yet the oppo
sition has not centered enough to name a
man for the contest.
Off with the Mustache.
Another radical reform to prevent the
transmission of tuberculosis germs has been
started by E. A. Kepford, state lecturer,
against the white plague. It is the aboli
tion of mustaches. To bhow he Is In earn
est Mr. Kepford has shaved from his own
upper lip a magnificent mustache of which
he was proud. But beards and the like, he
says, are woeful transmitters of disease
germs. They are not sanitary. He has set
the example and he will ask every man in
Iowa to adopt the smooth face style not
for appearance sake, but for the sake of
the good health of the community.
Several years ago Dr. Kennedy. hen
secretary of the State Board of Health,
created considerable comment by advocating
the abolitirtn of beards among the physi
cians. He contended that in these beards
.loctors carried disease germs from sick
rooms to healthy communities. Now Mr.
Kepford has conceded the argument Is
good. He will advocate smooth shaves as
the greatest sanitary condition.
New Board In Charsre.
The new educational board having charge
of the three educational Institutions Is now
in chare. The flrBt step taken Is to con
tinue In force all policies and methods
until they are substituted with new ones.
Immediately, consideration will be given
to the best ways of doing business, and It
Is expected that a number of changes will
be made. At present the secretaries at
the state Institutions are retained. At the
first meeting here the large board will
probably make an outline of general poll-
clees. It Is expected the three members
of the financial committee which Is to
have charge of the actual operation of the
schools, will soon establish headquarters
In the city. Of this W. R. Boyd of Cedar
Rapids Is chairman. It Is expected the
new board will take quarters on the as
sembly floor of the state house, probably
occupying either the lieutenant governor's
rooms or the speakers' rooms. The for
mer were occupied two years ago by the
special insurance commission.

tFrom a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 30. -(Special.) "The

diseases will be discussed by Dr. Anne

Ham L. Allen of Davenport will discuss
the plague as a causative factor In dis
eases coming under the observation of the
general practitioner and surgeon. So it is
souKht from these three authorities to
gather Information as to the ravages on
sight, mind and general physical condition
worked by the plague, which Is said to be
increasing In America at a rapid rate.
The question as to whether Anamosa is
really a reformatory or not will be dia
cuhsed by Chaplain Felix H. Plckwotth
of that institution. In this discussion h
will tell of the methods used at Anamofca
in the treatment of lawbreakers.
For the benefit of the superintendents of
the state institutions, who seek to make
the surroundings of their buildings as

either side of the president were Secretary
of State Knox, a staunch supporter of the
Pittsburg tesm, and Charles P. Taft,
principal owner of the Chicago "Cubs."
Consequently the chief executive was torn
by conflicting emotions. He wanted both
teams to win and was happiest when the
score was a tie, which It was from the
seventh to the eleventh Inning, when a
whole flock of "bears" crossed the plate
and broke up an exciting game, by a score
of 8 to J. President Had ley of Yale also
sat with the president. Captain Archi
bald Butt, military aide to the president
was In the party and nearby to explain
the fine points of the game in minute de
tail, was President Charles W. Murphy of
the Chicago club. Secretary Knox and the
president's brother had great fun In wager
ing as to the outcome of the contest and
appealed in turn for the president's sup
port. "No, sir," replied the president, "I
insist upon maintaining a Judicial attitude
on thla matter."
In Pittsburg's half of the "lucky sev
enth" the president set the crowd to cheer
ing by standing "for luck" with the rest
of the great crowd. All through the game
there were calls for cheers for the pres
ident and they were given In great waves
of sound which echoed back from the high
hills overlooking the park. The president's
assistance to the Pittsburg "rooters" In
the seventh resulted in the local team ty
ing the score. With the score still tied
t the end of the eighth the president ex
claimed:
I hope It goes beyond the ninth; then
we will get more for our money."
It was suggested to the president that If
he remained for the finish of the contest
he would be late for the banquet tonight,
He replied that he could get a dinner
"most any old time," but seldom could
see a better game of base ball.
Pitches In Colleaje Game.
The president made his debut on the dia
mond at the Allegheny Country club
where, following luncheon at the residence
of H. R. Rea, he held a reception and
mingled with the. Yale men, who were the
guests of the club for the afternoon. Two
teams of resident and visiting Yale Alumni
were matched In a ball game and the pres
ident pitched the first two balls for the
visitors.
In the parlance of the game he had
little or no speed and utter lack of
control," but was taken out of the box
before much damage was done. As
matter of fact, the two balls which the
president threw at the batsman hit the
home base and reached the catcher on the
first bounce.
'First bounce used to be out," the presl
dent protested, but he was unceremoniously
relegated to the side lines.
The day of the president's visit was one
of blue skies and brilliant sun. The after
noon rrew intensely warm and the presi
dent before going to the country, changed
from the formal dress of the morning to
a sack suit and straw hat. Secretary
Knox'a wardrobe was not so convenient
and he wore his top silk hat until he
reached ths Country club, where, under
the pretext of having his picture taken
with the president In the same sort of
headgear worn by Mr. Taft, he borrowed
a panama hat from a friend and posi
tively refused to return until the day was
done.
