SHOULD PROVIDE FOR
AN OFFICIAL SPANKER

The "Suffragist," the official organ
of the Congressional Union for Woman
Suffage and the National Woman's
party in its issue of Feb. "a, marked
CODY OF which reached our desk to-
day, contains pictures Of women par
aiding before the White House, each
bearing the official banner of her
party.
II these women had as much sense
as the good God has given to silly
geese they would know that at this
time when our president and congress
are facing the most serious crisis
that our country has faced in half
century, that their heckling is so naus-
eating that the warmest supporters of
their cause are turning from them in
disgust.
We don't blame these women for
putting forth every legitimate effort
in the cause which they consider just.
but there Is a time and place for all
things. There is also a right and
wrong way to undertake any PROPOSE
ton. The idea of heckling the ad-
ministration at this time, when 1t ap-
pears almost certain that our nation
is to be plunged into the malestrom
OF the mightiest world war since the
beginning of time, is nothing short
OF damnable, and IL should cease at
once.
II a party OF men, /. w. WIS for
instance, should attempt similar dem
onstrations at this time, their action
would at once be denounced as down
right derision, and they would be sum
marily dealt with. These men are
probably just as sincere in their cause
as the women.
II these women at this time were
engaged in patriotic demonstrations
instead OF heckling. they would wiz
for themselves thousands of support
ers and admirers, but instead they are
provoking disgust
We would respectfully suggest that
an official spanker be arranged tol
to take care of this nuisance. a few
applications of paddle would have g
wholesome effect. At the first treat
ment of this nature patriotic Ameri
cans would rise enmasse and shout
LAY on McDuGf."

A joint resolution was introduced
In both branches of the Legislature yes

AS for US. we have our own opinion.
and We think there are lot more
wicked things you can do on Sunday
than knit. II certainly is greater
sin TO backbite your neighbors, TO
speak uncharitably about them. to
think wicked thoughts on Sunday, for
you can't do any of these while knit
ting for the soldiers and sailors.
ii people would only live consist
ent lives. but they don't Some of our
local churches are closed during the
summer for several Sundays. Ger
tainly ii is more sinful TO close the
House of God. dedicated to worship
on His Holy Day than 1t is to knit. IL
the garment you're knitting is a
means of making soldier or a sail
or more efficient because it adds to
his comfort
Well. ii would be a far worse
world tand gracious knows, it is bad
enough as it isl if everybody had the
same opinion, and all thought alike.
However. we're glad TO know there
isn't tax on Opinions, at least, If
there Is on most everything else.
