After much painstakng effort, and
w, Pursel undertaking parlors. IL
South Center street, have been con-
verified into one of the most modern
places of business of its kind in the
middle west. Within the past few days
the finishing touches have been added.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Pursel are now In
! the enviable position of being able to
show their friends a most complete ana
modern plant.
| Having spent many years In the
business, Mr. and Mrs Pursel have
! dreamed Of some day owning and oper-
ating a model undertaking business IN
| Marshalltown. Last spring Mr. Pur-
! sci took a trip to the coast, and made
! it point to visit all Of the larger un-
dertalling establishments in the west
ern cities. He gathered great many
good ideas which, in addition to his
own, he has embodied in remodeling
| his place of business into the finished
state that it appears today.
All Departments on One Floor.
| All departments of the business are
| centralized on the ground floor of the
building occupied by Mr.. Pursel. This
| is convenience not only to the bust
ness itself, but to the patrons. In the
same building, up stairs. are the prl-
vate residence apartments of the FUR
sci family. and this fact places the
owner Of the business in position to
render added service to his patrons.
| The private apartments Of the family
are many times sought by patrons who.
owing to grief or fatigue. need quiet
place for rest. The guest rooms IN
| these private apartments are always
open to patrons free Of charge.
/ Chapel Added Accommodation.
| Passing thru the business office. from
| the main entrance on Center street, one
, reaches the chapel, which is an added
accommodation for persons who prefer
to have the burial rites for their dead
conducted with all the privacy possible
1t is OF especial convenience to those
! who come from q distance, and who
have no place to hold a service. The
chapel is we'll lighted and ventilated,
and has seating capacity tor 100 per-
sons. The atmosphere is most restful,
lending comfort to the bereaved ones.
| To the west are the display rooms,
where the line of caskets is shown. Mr..

Enlistment is equal in equipment to
those Of the larger cities. The room
is finished in spotless white, the walls
being enameled to a height of seven
feet The morgue table, cabinets, and
sundres are also ii pure white. In
keeping with the surroundings.
Beneath the lower floor is a COM

Disrespect for the Highest Office.

Respect for the office of President of the United
States is an American characteristic. The man who
is sent to the White House by the will of his fell
rdcule, not even by the most violent of his polit-
cal opponents. The place where he sits is sacred.
The street agitator and the preacher Of violence
know better than to mock the President, apply
epithetsto him to impugn his patriotism or his
integrity. Below is an extract from an article en-
titled German View of the War" appearing in a
newspaper published in the Capital of the Nation:
l admit that the present administration stands
IN difficult position 1t has to choose between
serving the American people and serving the Brit
ish people. | have known administrations which
would not have found, and did not find, it hard to
make the choice. But there is little of the hickory
in the elongated lower jaw and still less in the
superanimated larynx by which we are represent
ed at the present time. A question which forces
itself upon at the moment is this: Is Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson representing British in
terests American interests?
The article contains almost nothing about the
war, and Mr.. Herman Riddcr, over whose name it
appears, having, according to Who's Who, been
born in New York of German parentagc," its
title is obviously ill-chosen. 1t is merely false
indictment of the Presidents policy with reference
TO neutral shipping and Great Britain's complaint
of conditions in Mexico, supplemented by cheap
and coarse ridcule that will be resented by patr-
otto Americans everywhere.
1t is not necessary to observe that President
Wilson has displayed wisdom and skill in serv-
ing his country since the outbreak of the that
illumincs the most important page in the history
OF his administration. 1t will mean nothing to
Mr.. Riddcr that the Presidents firm stand on the
subject OF neutral shipping has busted British
diplomacy and irrated its press. The neutrality
of his position is proved by the fact that he has
pleased neither Great Britain Germany The
fact that there is no government in Mexico and
that the Monroe doctrine and the policy assumed
by this government in the past impose upon it
the duty OF protecting foreign interests beyond
our Southern border, need not be considered in
contemplating Mr.. Riders uttcrances
He has assailed President Wilson in terms the
most offensive perhaps that have ever been APP
piled to Chief Magistrate of the United States
in public print. As their President has been in
suited, the people of this country who elected
him have been insulted And Mr.. Rddcr has in
jurcd the cause he has undertaken to advance.

The Bryan Letter on Neutrality.

The letter of Secretary Bryan to Senator Stone,
answering in detail charges more or less speci6-
cally made by German sympathizers, that the
course Of this government in dealing with condi-
tons arising from the war has not been neutral but
has favored the allied belgerents, is interesting
and instructive If it was written for the purpose
of silencing unwarranted criticism of the admins
tration it will fail, notwithstanding that it is
clear exposition of the application of international
law to war time conditions and describes unre-
servedly each step taken by this government in
preserving its rights and, at the time, its
neutrality. No Americans, and no foreigner
capable of unprejudiced judgment needs to be told
that the President and his advisers have succeeded
admirably in this respect To them Mr.. .Bryan's
letter is enghtening to the law and recital Of
the events of many trying days in diplomacy.
But to the complaintants whom Mr.. Bryan
seeks to convince it is meaningless. They want no
explanations to how neutrality has been pre-
served; on the contrary they would have the
United States abandon its neutrality and give di-
rect aid to Germany Their complaints based
principally upon the desires expressed in the
ridiculous proposition that the United States
should forbid the shipment of supplies to the allies
because Germany is unable to avail herself OF our
markets; in other words that should practically
abandon foreign commerce in order to give
Germany-which part of its war strategy elects
to keep its feet secluded in its own waters-equal
advantage on the high seas, controlled by the
allies ships of war. Aside from the argument that
such proceeding in itself would involve fragrant
violations of neutrality, what would be the finan-
cial position of this country without the foreign
commerce that has turned debts into credit
abroad and stopped the drain upon finances
that threatened disaster in the early days of the
war. If that commerce is vital to the existence
of Great Britain it is vital the existence of our
own country. If Germanys warships controlled
the seas she would control our commerce and we
would sell her everything she could buy from us.
But it happens that the allies our chief custom
crs and our markets are and will continue to be
open to them. Questions relating to neutral ships
bound for neutral ports and carrying cargoes free
or contraband must be settled by the courts. And
let it be said that those who the administra
ton of lack of vigor and irmness in asserting the
rights of the United States have blinded themselves
to the facts
The Washington herald., 1915-01-26
Senator Roots Warning.

Senator Root in his speech in opposition to the
ship purchase bill, in the Senate yesterday placed
a weight of responsibility the administration
and uttered warning to which it may we'll give
heed. Considering the circumstances under which
it was delivered the speech was the most forceful
that has been directed against any project that
President Wilson has advocated. Describing the
proposed legislation a radical change of govern
mental principle Mr.. Root called attention to the
fact that the measure had been submitted to the
Senate by the Committee on Commerce without
hearing, adding that Senator Stone, who intro
duced it, had given notice that any discussion of
the bill by the minority would be considered OBJ
structive and improper, and had announced that
the majority had the votes to pass it.
An astounding proceeding, surely, where legis-
aton of such incalculable importance to the coun-
try's welfare is concerned. In conclusion Senator
Root uttered the solemn warning that to adopt the
measure would be to invite war Mr.. Root is not
a sensationalist and he knows International law.
That he believes what he said, noSone will doubt.
He has served emphatic notice on the Democrats
that if the shipping bill becomes law it will be
their law, and that all the consequences that it
brings will be theirs
