The American Marriage.

It has long been automatic that the
American wife felicitates herself on
her superiority to her husband, though
she refrains from telling him so. On
The other hand, the American business
man has ever been accused of sacri-
ficing his wife on the altar of his own
absorption in mOney-making. and of
salving the wounds due to his neglect
with the ointment of unlimited credit.

Good health Is dependent on regu-

little rabbit very happy, too. SO Billy
Bunny said to the pink hen:
Little Pink Hen, won't you lay
A pretty egg for Easter day?
I've hunted everywhere, think
To find little egg that's pink"
Then the Sky Blue Rooster said to her:
Little Pink Hen, humbly beg
That you will lay a pinkie egg
And would you believe It. she went
straight to her nest and Maid thirteen

rooster was so tickled that he sang

his back and started off for the old

awfuily sorry to have him 50. for 1t
was the first time she had ever seen

yWe RuMANNEss OF LODGE

Senator Lodge. of Massachusetts, lit
erateur, student, politico-s statesman,
has been estimated in the western Sec
ton of the country as being cold
blooded as the dried Goldfish, once the
mainstay and fiduciary dependence OF
that state. The impression has been
that the man was Bostonese and Cape
Cop which Is to say scarcely human.
Consequently the news that the sena-
tor from Massachusetts had met his
man and slugged his man and downed
his man in a corridor of the senate
chamber was received with hilarity
out in the wild and woody where GER
tain epithets call for swift punch to
the jaw or slam in the stats. The
senator. calmly cold and judicially i'm
portant. lost his poise when called
coward. He hauled off and landed on
his defamer. Knocked him down say
the reports. Beefed him. 1t was as tho
a statue had come to life. 1t was
Galatea and Pygmalion with reverse
english
Out west folks didn't stop to argue or
analyze but looked at one another in
astonishment and said Bully for old
Lodge" That's the western way.
When somebody comes along and APP
plies opprobrious ep!thets to somebody
else and is knocked down for his pains
and as a penalty the spirit OF the
mighty west perks up and smiles APP
prevail.
Of course il was coarse and brutal
and Boston shudders at the sight but
Lodge got closer to the American pub
tic with that one punch than he ever
came in all the student years Of him.
Somehow there's something in a good
straight punch under provocation that
makes friends for a man on this SIDE
Of the Mississippi river. And on the
other side TOO, for the matter of that.
Go ahead senator. We haven't liked |
your custom Of parting your whskers
hu, wear your hair as pleases you best
henceforth. You may be peculiar, like |
the Fuzzy Wuzzys, but like them you |
are also first class fighting man.
1t took US a long while to discover that |
you pack punch but we like you for
it. If you are ever again candidate |
for president you'll get some votes in |
the west. That swift slam did it.

Well, as / meant to tell you In last
nights story, only I didn't have any
more room, when Billy Bunny hoped
out OF the hen house he saw that the
little rooster had made mistake. II
wasn't Robber Hawk at all who had
made them all hide, for there sat the
big, kind American eagle, talking to
the Weathercock, and as soon as he
saw the little rabbit he said. "Helloa,
Billy Bunny. I'll take you to q place
where you can find lots OF Easter eggs.
"Can you? cried the little rabbit,
hopping up and down, he was SO nap
by. Then the big, kind American eagle
took Billy Bunny on his back and new
away with him until they came to the
Sky Blue Pink Country. whore there
were all sorts Of hens. There was q
green hen and yellow hen and q
pink hen; but the rooster was SKY
blue They all sang = different song.
The yellow hen said Hoop de-dooden-
dol" and the green hen said. "Chick.a-
chick -chee!" But the pink hen only
said, IRA Ia ia"' for she was very
lazy.
Now the green hen laid red eggs and
the yellow hen blue ones. but the pink
hen never laid any, for she was such
lazy thing. And that was the reason
why the big, kind American eagle had
brought little Billy Bunny to the Sky
Blue Pink Country You zee, he
thought II little bunny on Easter
day asked the pink hen to lay an egg
she couldn't refuse, and this would

souiRMlNa.

The senate voted yesterday to amend
the so-called blue laws. The bill
which passed the senate permits towns
of 500 and over TO vote on whether
Sunday movies and Sunday baseball
shall be permitted.
There Is great deal Of ducking and
lodging over the Sunday observance
laws. Much pressure is being put on
legislators from both sides Of the ques-
ton The ministry and most of the
churches favor a closed Sunday.
Thousands Of others favor Sunday as
a day Of rest or Of recreation. The
comercial amusement interests are
crowding hard for their own. 1t is
confusing and fearsome to the average
legislator. especially if he has future
ambitions.
! Sunday baseball and Sunday movies
are the meat in the cocoanut Aside
| from these the representatives OF the
| populace in the legislature could settle
the matter out Of hand Nobody wants
the street cars stopped or the hotels
| forbidden to serve meals or any nee
essary employment prohibited. The
Amusement proposition breaks up the
| legislative game. Thousands want
their movies and other thousands want
their baseball on Sunday. And every
one of them votes. So do the oppon-
ents Of Sunday amusements. And there
the legislator is. The frying pan is
hot as blazes and beneath it is the
fire bright and scorching.
However, pity for the legislators
plight is submerged in the necessity
Of doing something actual one way or
another The legislature should fish
or cut bait, uphold the present laws or
make Sunday amusements legitimate.
The question isn't whether organized
| baseball or Sunday theaters can or can
not run without the proceeds from
Sunday patronage but whether or not
those who desire such amusements
on that particular day are or are not
legally entitled to them. 1t isn't a
question Of the purveyors Of amuse-
ment and their profits but OF popular
privileges, the prerogative or limita-
tions Of citizenship. This is the real
question the legislature has before It.
And 1t should go to it and settle it 80
far az it may be settled by statutory
enactment. Perhaps some Of those who
thus assisted in the settlement would
fall by the wayside In forthcoming
elections but who misses a member of
the legislature anyway?

THE COLD PLUNGE.

The cold plunge Is a modern In
vention with goose pimple attach
'ments. It is the most successful meth
cd yet devised Of bringing the red
blood to the surface OF the body. ana
along with it an erect cluster Of brist-
ling goose pimples.
IT Is not known definitely just who
invented the cold plunge, and 1t is
probable that the man who thought
Of 1t first froze to death in an upright
attitude Immediately after impartins
his secret TO the world. Our ances-
tors did not believe in the cold bath
to any great extent, preferring to re-
cline thoughtfully in a tin tub filled
with hot water from the cook stove.
AS civilization advanced in knowledge
and culture, however, and the advan-
tages OF the semi occasional bath be-
came known, the doctors began to pre-
scribe the antarctic plunge for people
Of low vitality who had reached the
point where they would welcome death
in any form.
A strong impetus has been given to
the cold bath movement by the alarm
ing scarcity of hot water in the homes
OF our frst families. Many husband
who has waited PATIENTLY down stairs
on Saturday night while a relay Of
children have filed in and out Of the
bath tub and robbed the hot water
tank of its entire contents has been
driven to the cold plunge In order to
avoid the reproachful eyes OF an &C
cusing wife. When we think Of the
kind, generous husbands who have
contracted pneumonia as result OF
too frequent bathing In cold water.

WAITING TINE VAR ORDER,

The president in his address to con-
gress last evening called for war
against Germany. His policy was
made sufficiently plain and clear. He
would urge active war looking to the
defeat of Germany by providing the al
lies with funds, food and munitions
and immediate preparation by the
United States by the mobilization Of
an army OF not less than 100000 men.
The presidential policy evidently con-
templates alliance with the entente and
the military and financial powers Of
the United States bent toward the de-
feat Of Germany.
That congress will assent to his pro-
gram is expected with justified conf
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1917-04-03

dence, the more so that the first armed
American ship TO sail from an Amer
lean port has been sunk coincident
with the presidential appeal for war.
We lack only the formal declaration OF
congress to be actually at war with
Germany.
With war at hand with the next sun
rise perhaps, it Is time to cease argu-
ment and turn with determination and
loyalty to the task before us. To use
every effort to avoid war as calam-
ity is one thing: failure to support the
government after the die is irrevo-
cably cast is another. The one may
be the act and conviction of a patriot.
The other is potential treason. The
watchword henceforward must be
Americans shoulder to shoulder.
We are to have war. Then let it
be war to our advantage and the dis
with all orr powers to the defeat Of .Lr
enemy, victory for ourselves and the
early end Of the conflict. Naturally We
shall ally ourselves with the entente
as common enemies of Germany. To
refuse to do so would be to neglect a
great advantage now and after. The
immediate manner in which we can
get into the war effectively is by fur
nishing supplies and funds to Ger
many's present foes and our future al
lies. We have no army to furnish and
the raw levies that we shall make
would be useless and in the way. If
we have an effective army at the end
OF year we shall be doing extremely
WELL But munitions and money rather
than men are the great needs Of the
allies. We can and without doubt will
furnish these.
When war is declared, whether as
state of war existent or a declaration
Of war to be made, the day of the
pacifist is done and that of the fight
ing man at hand. Quit arguing War
is cloture to discussion OF all but ways
and means.
