Progress and the Bathtub

Fred Kelly, in the Nations Business, says that whenever a man starts to launch new enterprise or sell use full but hitherto unheard of article, let him stop and recall what happened when bathtubs were first introduced. Within the memory of many people still living. the bathtub was lam pasted as a menace to democratic sim plicity and a danger to health
 An ordinance was introduced in Philadelphia-and almost passed-to prohibit bathing between November and March. Boston made bathing un- lawful except on medical advice. Vir- ginia imposed a tax on bathtub owners of $50 a year. Yet everybody knows now that having a bathtub in the house is first-rate idea Bathing was probably even more needed then. But people resented bathtubs because they were new Many new ideas are made commercially successful. But usually there are difficulties. The public reSents novelty.

MEET WITH
DEMOCRATS
|SEXPLA|NED
Ex-president Against Treaty
Which Proposes Seperate
Peace
BY J. BART CAMPBELL

TIMES BUREAU At STATE cAPITkLl
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 9.-rormer
President Woodrow Wilson has no in
tention OF entering actively into the
fight which certain democratic sena-
tors once closely associated with his
administration are waging, against
ratification OF the German Austrian
and Hungarian peace treaties. accord
ing TO Joseph P. Tumulty, his former
secretary.
The democratic senator's who recent
ly discussed the treaty situation with
Mr.. Wilson were not sent for by him
but were seen by him after they had
reque sted an interview. Tumulty sa:a
today They included Senator Glass
OF Virginia, formerly secretary OF the
treasury in Wilson's cabinet.
You may be sure that Mr.. wilson
will take no active part in the present
controversy" Tumulty said, either by
communicating his views OF the demo-
cratic leaders of the senate. or by 4
written statement of his attitude II
the country.
"Of course. Wilson is opposed to any
treaty which proposes a separate peace
with the Central Powers and undoubt-
edly he informed the democratic sena-
tors who saw him that his views III
that respect have not undergone any
change since he first expressed them
months ago. But h. will not actively
interpose himself in any way
Tumultys statement was regarded
as having clarified the circumstance
surrounding the recent visit Of several
democratic senators to the former
president about whicn they them
selves had thrown considerable mys-
terry by declining to discuss what had
transpired.
1t was admitted that the influence
Of Wilson's known opposition. even
though not active" was likely TO be
felt at the second conference held to-
day by the democratic membership OF
the senate for another exchange OF
views regarding ratification
1t was reported that some of vii
sons friends in The senate contemplate
offering resolution to bind the demo
cratic side against ratification
