YOU CAN'T Frol TIVE WAITRESS.

A Des Moines woman reporter puiieo
an Anticipated stunt that was old when

Folks arc folks. Just common human
folks. Tho mists of "distinguishment
do not change the distinguished" 1t
is all in our own eyes. Nobody was
more human than Lincoln. tho Lin
coin was great rather than "distin-
gulshed." Lincoln was the embodiment
Of the term folks" Washington was

biography convinccs. Neither was

guished, 'of course, because they are
always at the front and candid and
frank and open, distinguished and use

We should dismiss that childhood
impression that humanity speaking
election to office or dIstinguishment OF
any kind changes the persons selected
from among folks by folks into sort

that. They're just folks that we as
folks select to be representative. When
we get close to them, whether as SER
wants or as friends, we find that out.
Nobody fools the waiter very much.
The hired girl knows us to a fareyou-
well and If we heard all the analyses Of
the friends who actually love us it
would dull our elf-sufficiency and
blunt our egotism considerably.

command good hearing In any part
Of tho United States, But to talk Of
all Iowa being swayed Ia so much nom
sense. The American people continue
to do their own thinking.
As a matter Of fact. Cedar Rapids
man, an army man. one returned from
the real trenches In France, who heard
both speeches In Des Moines, says that
young Colonel Roosevelt speaking IN
the same coliseum a few nights be-
fore, had the building packed lust as
full and there was continuous APP
plause, altho Roosevelt Is still mere
kid and he had no high office to
back him, nor did he have as great a
theme. The American people like to
rear good speakers discuss great
questions. And thank heaven we do
not refuse to hear those with whom we
may not be able to agree. The best
thing in America Is our willingness to
bear all sides and our ability to judge
fairly. When we lose these qualities 1t
will be much Cworse for us.
As to public sentiment in iowa, we
were recently present at a meeting
where three or four men spoke. II
was harvest home audience and the
speakers touched on what might be
called partisan questions gently. But
when one man declared that he be-
lieved in keeping the government OF
America in Washington. the audience
rose to such n demonstration that II
made all the speakers who had been
so gingerly about IT ashamed of their
own fears In the matter. We believe
that two-thirds Of Iowa, and maybe
more. would vote today for the reser-
vations that the senators stand for
and the presence of the President has
not affected that patriotic and DELHI
crate judgment
As to Des Moines. to which Senator
Kenyon refers, Des Moines also would
vote with the rest of Iowa. In -Des
Moines the people have lacked news
paper expression, except on one side.
The morning paper, with an evening
edition, is intensely pacifist. was so
before the war and during the war 1t
never said anything that a pro-Ger-
man could object to, altho 1t was
itself loyal enough. And the other pa
pers have sort of kept still on this is
sue, not caring to espouse con-
troversy. And most Of the Des Moines
men we have heard from are more or
less mad about what their newspapers
have been telling them. That Is the
situation in Des Moines and Senator
Cummins probably understands 1t bet
ter than we do and Senator Kenyon
should not think offhand that even
Des Moines, when it came to refer
endum vote, would not vote as he rs
in Washington. We believe
it would so vote.

OUR SENATORS AND THE LEAGUE
rCedar Rapids Republican,

ators we find the following report
from Washington in the Chicago
Tribune: ... s.s.g
Inc TWO iowa SENATORS CUmT1lnS
and Kenyon, seemed little impressed
by President Wilson's visit among
constituents. Senator Cummins said
he not only favored the Lodge pro-
gram, but would like to see it strength
ened in some respects. Senator Ken
yon likewise favors the entire pro-
gram and expects to make a speech
within few days, declaring his ant!p-
athy towards any proposal Of a mild
or 'tepid' character to protect Ameri-
can interests.
Senator Kenyon said that the pres-
dents reception in Des Moines could
not be regarded as an index Of the
Iowa sentiment because he had long
ago believed the city of Des Moines
favored the league"
The two Iowa senators are eminent
" right in their conclusions. One
swallow does not make a spring time.

AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES
Gathering of Women R dcue the Idea, Labelling 1t as "Comnercializ-
 ina the Home"

Wages for wives were turned down by an audience largely of women here the other night after a debate on whether husbands should be required to pay such wages, says the Philadel- phia Evening Bulletin.
 One speaker drew a dismal picture of the future of romance with wives working for wages.
 "Imagine a scene like thiS,' he said
 "Honey, do you love me?"
 "Of course 1 love you."
 "Then will you marry me?"
 "Well. maybe. How much do you pay?"
 Suppose the wives were to join the soviet of waiters-up and charge triple wages for waiting up nights for husbands" he said.
 "Imagne wife going into society and being labeled a $15-a-week wife. A woman can take a last-year hat and make it look like new. But when she signed contract for $15 week there would be no hiding it from the neigh bOrs"
 Another speaker pleaded that 'wom- an shall not be brought down from her pedestal as a queen and made mere employee of man." In depicting the future of romance under the wage syS- teI he said the marriage ceremony would have to be revised to read:
 With this ring I hire thee, and will pay thee $15 a week by the aid of the world the flesh and the devil.''
 Notices like the following he pre- dicted would be published:
 "Married-Johf Brown and Mary Smith, by Rev. Russell H. Cenwell They will live in Logan and the wife's wages will be $15 a week"
 Scenes like the following in court were forecast:

Augustus Tolliver, the soap king, strode wrathful1y out of his stateroom aboard the blimp and seized the arm of the porter.
 "Idiot!" he roared, "why didn't you give me a call this morning? I told you had to be in London for di- rectors meeting at a. m. sharp, and now London is Lord knows how many thousands of miles in our rear"
 "Ah pounded on yo' door, boss, but yo' refuses to waken,'' replied the porter.
 The soap king pulled out watch.
 "Eleven-thirty," he grunted dis gustedly. "Where are we now?"
 "Jest passed over St. Louis, boss: we'll be back in NYawk at 12 :05."
