WEDDINGS MADE TOO RloTous

Rev. w. H. Butler of Northampton,
Mass, spoke on marriage the other
day and there was so much Of truth
and sting in his words that they de-
serve to be pushed along to wide
publicity,
81 never saw band of well-dressed
hoodlums at railroad station with old
boots, rice and tin pans galore with

brated in churches, but there should
be no engraved invitations with their
plumber in the way of wedding gifts"

which go to brides from friends. There
is no prettier custom than this express
sion of love and tenderness on the
part Of tried and true companionship.
And the present grows more beautiful
in Its meaning the more it partakes Of
the nature of the giver. With the rest
of his remarks the world can find no
fault. In too many cases an invita-
ton is a hold-up; the engraved card a
pistol to the head. Various conditions

of the one who has arrived that he
may fall, politics, religion, are only a
few of the complications.
1t was bad enough when the we'd
ding was the sole occasion of such
grating, but now young maidenhood
has to stand a continuous hold-up per-
formance. Showers" of all sorts,
from kitchen utensils to silk stock
ings, deplete the purses of the un-
fortunate friends of the bride, and
then, on top of all this miscellaneous
expenditure, must come the wedding
gift.
What Mr.. Butler says of the hood.
lum customs of the guests at the
wedding is equally justified. The
harmless pleasantries of former years,
genial customs of other days, have
grown into annoying and vulgar
practices. Those whose words have
weight have been too mealy-mouthed
in denouncing them. Mr.. Butler is
rather lonely in his clerical opposition,
but he has multitude of sensible peo-
pie with him.-Cleveland Leader.

KEEP SALOONS OFF MARKET
CTDEET

The city council last night by vote
OF five to three granted a permit for
the operation of saloon at the cor
ner of South Market and Commercial
streets. Mayor Phillips promptly serv.
ed notice that he would veto the reso-
luton of consent and the large ma.
jority of the citizens, regardless of
political affiliations and regardless of
their views on the saloon question,
will hope that the mayor remains firm
in this matter. The resolution cannot
be passed over the mayors veto, as
Alderman Spry, who was not present
at the meeting last night will vote
against the resolution and make a
two-thirds majority impossible.
There is no mistaking the over.
whelming sentiment in Ottumwa
against the operation of saloons on
South Market street. Previous to the
last election both parties pledged
themselves to keep the saloons Off
this block Ottumwa demanded that
the only main thoroughfare from the
north to the south sides be saloon
less. And it was conceded by the
large majority that people had the
right to object to having a "battle
row.. to pass through in going to and
from their daily work.
The resolution of consent as passed
by the council, last night provides for
an entrance into the saloon on Com.
mercial street instead of on Market
street as formerly. But this is mere
subterfuge. The crowd of buns that
frequented this street when every
other business building in the block
was a saloon would still be found loaf
ing on the brass ratings on the Mar
ket street side no matter where the
entrance should be. And women and
children would be forced again tc
face the humiliation of making their
way through the splitting
SOLDERING, staggering crowd that al
ways frequented the saloons on 'bat
tie row."
The saloons should be kept off Mar
ket street south of Main We believe
the people will insist on this.

THE RIGHT WAY TO BOOST.

The trade extension delegation OF
the Chicago association of Commerce
returned a few days ago from trip
to the northwestern states and its
members were not only astonished at
the growth of that country, but awed
by the boosting spirit that prevails in
even the smallest hamlet of the Pa
cific coast section. At every stop there
We're lines of automobiles at the sta
ton to take the Chicago delegation out
to see the sights, and there was a
booster in every automobile talking
money in six figures, pointing out men
who had come there a few years before
"broke" and who were now rolling in
wealth, always adding, however, that
that country today offered more prom
Use of quick returns than ever before.
1t all sounded so alluring, one of the
newspaper men who accompanied the
party said, that when the party return
er to the train they felt the necessity
of calling the roll to see that none
had listened to the siren call and de-
serted. There was banquet at every
stop and eloquent speakers to tell the
visitors that the particular place in
which they were stopping was destin-
ed to future greatness. Here are some
of the claims made by five of the
cities in which the visitors were en-
tertained, as told by one of the cor
respondents who made the trip:
In Seattle they tell you that their
town is marked by destiny as the
future great metropolis of the north
west. 1t has the start, the location
and the greatest harbor in the world,
harbor, where the navies of all the
nations there be can rest at anchor.
At Everett one of the eloquent
speakers said:' Here in Everett, on
proud Puget Sound, we. have the
greatest harbor in the world, har-
Dor where all the navies of every ma
ton that there be can lie snugly at
anchorage"
At Bellingham the chairman of the
Commercial association in his address
of welcome said: you are in Belling-
ham, Bellingham on Puget Sound, and
here you will find the greatest harbor
of the world, where the navies OF
every nation on earth can lie together
peacefully at anchorage"
At Tacoma the committee called our
attention to the fact that we were in
the city at the head of navigation on
marvellous Puget Sound, where there
is the greatest harbor in the world and
where "all the navies of every nation
on earth could lie together in proud
security.
And at Portland we were assured
that here indeed was the greatest har.
Dor in the world, where all the navies
of all the nations that there be could
lie together in sweet harmony"
This is just sample Of the boosting
spirit that prevails in the northwest
Everybody in that section believes it
to be his first duty to impress the Wis.
itor with the belief that his town has
all the natural advantages and some
unnatural advantages, and that moth.
Ing can prevent 1t from some day
being one of the first cities of the land.

THE NEED OF GOOD ROADS.

Gently Representative William Sulzer
of New York, made forceful presen-

portance to the people. Arguing that
there is no subject at the present
time of more Importance to all the
people than the proposition to con-
struct good roads by governmental aid
along economic and constitutional
lines, Mr.. Sulzer said
The difference between good roads
and bad roads is the difference be-

have money value far beyond our
ordinary conception. Bad roads ccnsti-

development and material progress.
Good roads mean prosperous farmers;
bad roads mean abandoned farms,
sparsely settled country districts, and
congested populated cities. where the
poor are destined to become poorer.
Good roads mean more cultivated
farms and cheaper food products for
the toilers in the towns; bad roads
mean poor transportation, lack of COM
munication, high prices for the neces-
saries of life, the loss of untold mil
lions of wealth and idle workmen
help those who cultivate the sol; and
feed the multitude, and whatever aids
the producers of our country will in
crease our wealth and our greatness
and ben atit all the people. We carnot
destroy our farms without final decay.
They are today the heart Of our ma
tional life and the chief source OF ou1
r.aterial greatness. Tear down every
edifice in our cities and labor will re-
build them, but abandon the farms and
our cities will disappear forever.
Good roads mean progress and pros
perity, benefit to the people who
live in the cities. an advantage to
the people who live in the country
and it will help every section of our
vast domain. Good roads, like good
streets, make habitation along them
most desirable; they enhance the
value of farm lands, facilitate trans
portation, and add untold wealth to
the producers and consumers Of the
country; they are the milestones mark
ing the advance of civilization; they
economic time, give labor lift, and
make millions in money; they save
wear and tear and worry and waste;
they beautify the country, bring it in
touch with the city; they aid the
social and the religious and The edu-
cational and the Industrial progress
of the people; they make better homes
and happier hearth sides; they are the
avenues Of trade, the highways of COM

and the agencies of speedy communt-
cation they mean the economical

for our scenic wonders, and make
mankind better and greater and

Congressman Sulzer denied that
good roads will help only the farmer.
The farmers, who produce the neces-
saries of life, he said, are less de-
pendent than the millions and millions
