Editor Tidings: In one respect |
agree with one of your contributors
for last week. 1t seems to me that
lot of uncalled for bosh is being
written anent this restroom PROPOSE
tion. | hope that some of your dea
lady essayists will not so flood the
matter with sentiment tdIt ii will be
impossible for sober, midd'e-aged
man to get at the real issue
am not a psychologist, out | may
boast that | have studied human nj
ture somewhat in my time, srd | be
leve that in the case at hand | can
safely venture a prophecy.
In the first place | see taa. the fa' It
of the proximity of the iei, to the
restroom site has been completely
forgotten, though that was one of the
main reasons for the unfavorable ac-
tion on the part of that "unreason-
able" council. Now the women who
have seized so passionately upon this
chance to break into print have taken
no account whatever of this fact.
They will probably give it not a
thought until they have succeeded in
worrying the restroom out of the
powers that be. Then some one will
inform them that their new paradise
is a neighbor of the Jail. Every
woman in the mob will throw up her
hands in horror. The next time the
restroom is mentioned each one will
come back with:
"Oh, but, my dear, ! never, never
90 there. You know it's right next
door to the Jail. Just think. One
really couldn't, now, could one?"
In the second place, after all this
agitation no woman will want to
patronize a place which has been
granted to the public so grudgingly.
Instead of being grateful those whom
it is intended to benefit will be un-
likely to go near it, if for no other
reason than feminine pique.
Why not drop the whole matter
until there is a real demand for such
an innovation, and not merely an out
cry from few shallow sentimental
lists. SQUEEGEE,

That RESTROOM.

IHat heSu-hOOln.
Editor Tidings: l have been read
ing all the row and to-do in your col
umns about the proposed restroom
in the city hall, and while a plain
country woman is usually too busy to
peddle her opinions on public topics
it seems to me l may be pardoned
this one break into print.
! have been a rancher's wife for
twenty years, and in that time l have
done my marketing in dozen towns
and cities from South Dakota to Ore
gon. In not one of them have | ever
found town that made any pretense
of providing for the comfort of the
out-of-town shopper. And because OF
that lack of a place to go in town,
unless a woman has become well ac-
quainted, shopping has always been
a matter of gritted teeth and grim
determination And | may as well
confess that more often than not |
have bought in town only the bare
necessities, and sent to Sears-Roe-
buck or eastern houses for the bal
ance of my years supplies. To tell
the truth. never felt that l could
afford to wear myself out buying ar
ticles in Town that didn't appreciate
the trade, when | could get the same
thing cheaper from the mail-order
people.
But about the restroom. | hope
for the sake of my sisters in the coun-
try that such an institution, equipped
as completely as possible, becomes a
reality. Even |, seasoned old cam
paigner of the streets and park
benches on shopping day, might re-
lax and buy e few things in town be-
fore | realized it. 1t was a wise mer-
chant. Marshall Field, / think, who
said, "A comfortable body and a
rested mind make an easy customer. :"
And even if we have to appeal to
the purely commercial instincts of the
people in town to get that restroom,
it will be cheap at the price.
