Miss Maud Abbott and Miss Helen Day
have applied for admission to the medi
cal department of the McGill University in
Canada, and have been refused. The
Faculty think it improper to admit women
as students. 1t is not creditable to the
people of Canada that this decision has
been made. This age we have thought had
passed beyond the narrowmindedness that
excludes woman from the study of medi.

that she develops capacity for.
Governor Richardson, staff and troops
of South Carolina, have returned home

than decade of preaching and debate in

New York are as enchanting as Governor

War on the Saloon Keepers.

BELv1pERE, ILL.,, February 16.-. The
climax was reached is the war against
saloon keepers yesterday when the
grand jury returned indictments
against every liquor man in the city.
Nearly eighty indictments were found

their being compelled to pay $1,000

penses of lawsuits will about absorb

Poet Whlt,ier's Advice to Young Men.

A few weeks ago we referred to the
advice to young men which has been
attributed to John G.. Whittier: "Iden-
tify yourself in youth with some
righteous, unpopular cause. Wish.
ing to know whether the quotation
was correct, We wrote to Mr.. Whit
tier, and received the following note:
Dear Friend: Il am not sure
whether the quotation is among my
writings, but fully indorso it The
truth 1 know by my own experience
and that of my early friends. We
have all had reason to thank God for
the privilege of advocating unpopu-
lar truth. / am thy friend,

This note, coming from the quaint
old Quaker poet himself, now over
eighty years Of age, who knows so
well what il means to work for a
righteous. unpopular cause, is Of
more than passing interest, and ought
