THREE FOOLISH PEOPLE.

Three foolish people were in church at
Washington Sunday. Dr. Patten was
illogical in holding that liberty 10 woman
leads them into skepticism and immortality.
In the first place his argument would
justify universal application Of the con-
ventual life for women, on the theory that
repression would tend to their purity and
devoutness-a doctrine abhorrent to all
ideas of progress or intellectual culture
In the next place the liberty that leads to
skepticism is precisely the liberty that
gives birth to the liberation under which
Dr.. Patten is allowed to express his views.
Lastly, it was foolish for DR.. Patten to at
tempt to bolster 50 weak a theory as that
he advanced, by citing 4 few individual
examples OF high culture coupled with
moral degeneracy or spiritual revolt More
so, to parade Victoria Woodruff as a rep
resentatiye woman-sufragist All great
reforms have their great radicals. But
Woodruff did not even rank as a radical
in her palmie,t days, since she was nothing
more than mere erratic and impracticable
sensationalist, without the method or pur-
pose of radicalism, Or the depth of sin
cerity. The other Of the foolish trio were
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton. The first
lost her temper, and woman in passion
is always foolish. The second kept hers,
but was weak in voicing the fact. The
strength Of these two able reformers would
have been best shown by their silence, and
the observance of that deeorum which the
time and the place demanded

CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION.

MEN of extreme ideas, and demagogucs whose

themselves, and after practical demonstration
