We remember one particular
instance in which siaular re-
mark was made.
We had, through the pleadings

corning the escapadc of a rather
worthless fellow. But to his
mother and sister he was not
worthless and they prevailed up

And we did not print it
So we were accused of coward
ice by this certain critic and were
told that we did not know how 10

In vain we tried to explain that
many things besides our own per-
sonal likes and disiikes entered

should print the news.

We had the story but Fad no
intention of printing it, for it was
one of those things that it is best
for all concerned and for the
public, to suppress.
But our critic had heard that
we knew the details and, with the
unfairness that characterized his
first utteance. at once jumped to

He remembered.
He admitted that he had 50 eX-

But he was wrong, he said.
And this case was different.
Moreover. he was a prominent
man andmarried and he had a
family and all of the same stuff
that every editor hears when
some one gets into trouble.
Well, the story was not printed.
1t never would have been.
But we feel sure that our critic
believes that the only thing that
kept it out was his prominence"

No. dear friend, about the only

German AutoCracy

=
Our statesmen are beginning
to ask themselves the question
shall America yield to the au-
tocratic direction of the German
Empire?
The horror of the Lusitania al
fair is still on onr minds and
coincident with it we remember
the superilouS. insulting warning
from the German embassy not to-
the government, officially, on no.
but to the American peop g.
through.adyertising in the pub
lie press. Why did not Germany
take the matter zap with the gov
eminent of the United States:
Because she knew that the Uni
ted States government recognized
the right OF non cOmbatantS to
take passage on any merchant
ship. belIigerent or non-beIliger-
ent, to any part of the world.
This right is guaranteed by inter
national law and agreed to 10y al
civilized powers at the Hague,
Germany included. Germany
knew this to he So, and S h t
knew h t the United States
government upheld t n i : law.
That is the reason she did not
transmit warning, officially to the
government of the United States.
She knew that the United States
would not transmit the warning
to her citizens. To do so would
lie to admit her inability or I'M
willingness to protect her citizens
in right Germany knew they
possessed. That, alone proves
Germany's hypocrisy III the mat
ter. She knew she could not
get the United States govern
ment to retute the principle she
has always so consistently held.
The warning 50 far from eX-
cusing this m O lneXcreabie
deed or mitigating it in any de-
gree makes it seem al the black
err. 1t proves absolutely that tie
osime had been premeditated and
long planned. 1t also shows the
utter disregard Of Germany for
the rights Of neutrals. the princi-
pie of humanity, ob, er yance of
International law. W lat does
the plighted word Of 4 nation
mean to Germany anyway? Has
she not already proven her utter
devotion TO the teaching of the
Ethics of the Scrap Of Paper

day evening in the church parlors at
reception and dinner given compli-
mentary 10 the new members Of the
Sunday school. The reception marked
the close of the campaigr for new
members. which has been very sue
cessful The school is in u most pros
porous condition. the membership has
more than doubled during the past
year. and has gone beyond the capacity
Of the church. Mrs. Eta Agrew's class
OF young ladies was the honor class,
having been the most successful in the
campaign
Two hundred twenty-five members
and teachers attended the reception
and supper was served at $50, after
which a short and pleasing musical
program was given. The Sunday school
orchestra played several numbers and
others who were on the program were
Mrs. w. r. Redel. and Misses Bess and
Esther Selby and Maurice Whitaker.
AT the close Of the program an indoor
field meet furnished much amusement
during the evening.

GIGANTIC ENGLISH MELODRAMA
BOOKED FOR TWO NIGHTS,
FEB. IS AND is.
THIS CITY ONE OF FOUR
IOWA POINTS SELECTED
Only Because Peoria, Ill.,, Did Not Have
Stage Big Enough to Produce Play
That MarshaIltown Got lt-Railroad
Wreck, Auto Smashup, and Thrilling
Horse Race Among Features Shown.

What without doubt will prove the
biggest melodrama ever staged locally
is The Whip which comes to the
Odeon on Monday and Tuesday. Feb.
Is and Is. for two night performances.
Marshalltown theatergoers and those
of the many surrounding towns who
look 10 this city for their playhouse
treats, are fortunate in being given an
opportunity TO witness The Whip.
The production is never given in one
night and seldom less than week
stands. and almost never in cities as
small as Marshalltown 1t was be-
cause the big city of Peoria H.. did
not have q stage large enough to put
on the piece that Marshalltown was
offered the booking incidentally the
wisdom OF those who builded better
than they knew a quarter century ago.
IS again exemplifed. as Il has been
on so many other occasions. The other
three places in Iowa that secure The
Whip" for two nights each are Sioux
City, Cedar Rapids. and Davenport.
Transported in Special Train.
II requires a special train OF four
cars 10 transport the scenery used IN
producing the play, and the working
staff appears three days ahead of the
appearance Of the show in order to
make ready for the staging of the pro-
duction. -Four acts. containing thirteen
scenes. are employed in the action OF
the play. and nifty eight hanging
pieces of scenery are used. The or
binary show uses twelve or fifteen.
Carries Engine, Autos, Horses.
Strange as IL may seem The Whip
company carries among its mechanical
effects an English locomotive. one
passenger coach, and freight car: and
two automobiles. A boiler has already
been ordered for the Odeon stage that
viii provide the locomotive with eighty
pounds OF steam Ten head of horses
and thirty English fox hounds are used
in the production. Seven Of the horses
appear In q single race
Many "Thrillers' in Play.
For the old-fashioneo folks VINO like
the genuine melodrama OF long ago.
The Whip" has been made TO order.
The Whip IS the name OF a thorough
bred race horse, the property OF an
English lord, and the efforts TO thwart
the animal from entering the big derby
provide the villainy of the plot. An au-
tomobile accident. the wrecking of the
train in which The Whip Is being car
ried to the race track, and the big race
itself, are the scenic features OF the
play. OF course the story contains
tale OF love, without which il would not
be a melodrama.
Fifty people are used in presenting
the play. William A. Brady Is pre-
senting the piece in this country by ar
rangement with Arthur Collins. direc-
tor. of Drary Lane Theater, London
the birthplace of the meiodrama, where
the play was first produced.
The story of the play is more or
less familiar to readers of the Times
Republican, as II was printed in serial
form In these columns about eighteen
months ago.
