THE SATURDAY NIGHT TUB.

The good old custom OF bathing on Saturday
might whether one needs it or not seems to nave
survived all the articles of modern plumbing
and modern hygiene. The city engineer OF
Lawrence, Kans., reports that he is obllged TO
pump more water for Saturday night than for
any full day in the week, and his assumption,
which is fair one, is that the population uses
the water externally. Nor is this Kansas com
munity the only one where the tubs appeal is
strongest on Saturday night. Almost any one
who has dwelt in lodgings and apartment
houses in Keokuk, in Boston, San francisco,
! Chicago, ST. Louis or in any OF the way sta
tons not to be mentioned in connection with
Keokuk will instantly recall that hot water was
scarcest at the end of Saturday night, though
plentiful at the same hour on any other night
It may be true that more and more people
are being converted to the daily bath, but cer-
tain it is that the old Saturday night ceremony,
the old spree of soap and water, is holding its
own 1t is survival, of course, of that age
when bathrooms were unknown and the family
took its turn at such crude facilities as would
hardly do, in the twentieth century, for wash
ing dog. The idea to arrive pale and pol
ished at church on Sunday morning Had
there been no church. there probably would
have been no regularity in bathing.
Church going, in proportion to population,
has declined in the last century, but bathing
holds it's average we'll The tradition Of Sun
day is still strong, though the appeal Of the
church summons has grown less. Of the Sat
urday night bathers, probably one per cent.
take their dip because of guilty conscience, or
through their delight of an occasional cleans
ing. But the other ninety nine per cent,
whether they be of the godly or ungodly, battle
because tomorrow is Sunday. They feel i'm

WHAT HOOVER KNOWS.
Is Now in Position to Tell What the
Germans Did in Belgium.

! Des Moines Capital: Mr.. Hoover,
who has had charge of the Belgian
relief, since the beginning of the war,
knows more about Belgium than any
other living man. But his mouth
has been sealed. He could not tell
the truth in regard to the doings OF
the imperial government of Germany
in Belgium without totally stopping
the system of Belgian relief. Mr..
Hoover has had all sorts Of troubles
I with Germany. He has been compell-
ed to gloss these troubles over. His
heart was in the relief work, and ne
was willing to endure and suffer for
the cause of the poor people. For
nearly three years Hoover has stool
between six millions of people and
starvation. His resourcefulness knew
no bounds. He always had his ships
on the sea, and his supplies coming.
During the Belgian relief system he
was compelled to see that, his agents
and couriers kept their mouth shut
about conditions in Belgium. The
German imperial government kept
MP a constant complaint in regard to
the employees or helpers in the Belgian
relief work. The imperial German
government regarded the entire Bel
GUM relief work as being carried on
to tell England all about what Ger
many was doing. The Prussian- Ger.
man can see things long ways ahead
in his mind, and he has his suspicious
in regard to everybody
A change has come over the Bel
gian relief work now, and Herbert &.
Hoover's hands are united. His lips
are unsealed. He is telling the truth.
He is telling what the Germans did in
Belgium He Is telling Of the tyran-
ny of the German government. We
only hope that after the war is over,
Herbert c. Hoover may write book.
1t will take book of thousand
pages to tell 10 per cent. Of what he
knows. We hope Brand Whitlock
and his wife may write a book, when
they are safely into this country. It
will take more than two volumes for
Minister Whitlock and his wife to
tell what they know.
Murder will out, the imperial Ger
man government is going to stand
before the world just as she is. All
the sufferings in Siberia are nothing
compared with the sufferings which
Germany has put upon Belgium. And
now that the German army is re-
treating, the world is discovering
what the German army did in the oc-
cupied districts of France.

Modify the Sunday Law.

Des Moines Capital: The present
general assembly of Iowa should not
adjourn without modifying the Sun
day law so that communities, which
may desire certain Sunday amuse
ments, can have them without viola
ton Of law. 1t would be cruel TO
close the moving picture houses in a
city like Des Moines on the Sabbath
day. The people must have some
diversion. There are others who
want Sunday baseball. There is no
dispute about man having his Sun.
day golf. There is no dispute about
man taking his family long rides
Sunday afternoon in his automobile
Sunday ball games will not keep men
away from church; neither will the
moving picture shows; nor do we
advocate that these things will in

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
THE SEEKER AFTER GOD.

There was dreamer, once, whose spirit trod
Unnumbered ways in thwarted search for God;
He stirred the dust ancient books; he sought
For certain light in what the teachers taught
He took his staff and went unto the wise,
And deeper darkness fell about his eyes;
He lived a hermit and forbore his food
And God left visitless his solitude:
He wrapped himself in prayer night after night
And mocking demons danced across his sight.
Resigned at last to Him he could not find
he turned again to live among mankind
And when from man he more stood apart,
Cod on that instant, visited his heart

crease the attendance at church.
We only urge that in city of no.
900 people, there are thousands of
men, women and children who want
some Sunday diversion. The man
who is busy at his work all through
the week can take his family out Sun
day afternoon to movie at slight
expense. The movie keeps the family
together. Otherwise, the selfish man
might go out for his own anus EN- ent,
leaving his wife and children to do
the best they could to entertain or
amuse themselves.
1t is not compromise with evil
which we suggest. We are trying to
suggest a reasonable and rational
thing for the good OF all.
