After tho Speakers Election.

To THE EDITOR OF THE Sun - Sir: Mr.. Crisp
could not have known himself to be 80 bad a
man when he began his race for Speaker as
some journals would now make him OUT. His
first offence appears to have been in being q
candidate. but in their view IL was downright
crime for him to be elected. The journals now
hostile to Mr.. Crisp are all favorable to Mr..
Cleveland. Their disappointment shows itself
to be something terrible. and indicates that
the combination to elect Mr.. Mills was more
far-reaching than has been believed. II 1t had
chosen candidate whose temper the House
was not absolutely afraid to trust 1t would IN
doubtedly have succeeded.
No one who has seen Mr.. Mills In rage on
the floor OF the House could have dreamed
that majority OF his party. being sane. would
have chosen him for Speaker. Those who
supported him now admit that 1t would have
been better to have taken Mr. McMilin or Mr..
Wilson Of West Virginia. There must. there

he would account for the strange demo.
springer's and Hatch's lines. and the final
breaking up Of MeMillin's at the last, shows Il
the Least. But the unconsolable disappoint-
ment of Mills and his friends speaks loudest.
Mr.. Mills refused to move to make Mr.. Crisp's
nomination unanimous. He turned his back
for the nomination. He declined TO serve on Q
committee to wait upon the President to which

there can hardly be doubt that no will con-

to the notifying conclusion that he never

that he and. as the latter doubtless has Pic

reform was raised to the top.

The Presbyterian Women.

Within few days "The Princeton Semi
nary Association Of the Fifth Avenue Pres
byterian Church of the City of New York I"
has been incorporated at Albany. Its OBJ
ject Is to raise funds for the benefit OF STU
dents attending the theological seminary
named In its title. to promote interest in the
institution. and to further it's welfare. Five
ladies of prominence in DR.. HALLS church
make up the Board Of Trustees of the as
ISOLATION.
1t thus appears that the women Of this
Fifth avenue church. the largest and most
prosperous Of the Presbyterian churches Of
New York. II not Of the world. are to give
their support to President PATTON. and not
to DR.. BRIGGS. They will do their best to
direct theological students to Princeton in
stead OF sending them to Union. where DIR.
BRIGGS holds sway. They range them
selves on the side Of Calvlnism and the
Westminster Confession. and make ready
to do battle with the new theology of the
school hnrd by their own doors. The sever
lily Of Calvinism does not repel them. and
the genial views OF DR.. BRIaGs do not at
tract them. They want the doctrine of
election, and not tho doctrine of universal
salvation. or progressive sanctiflcation."
to be preached in the Presbyterian
churches.
We called attention u few days ago to the
remark Of a distinguished Presbyterian lay
man that tho feminine lovelincss Of Pres
byterianism seemed to be massed In sup
port OF the new theology: but the formation
Of this association. with Its gentle Board Of
Trustees. suggests that he must have mis-
interpreted the signs. Some OF tho feminine
theoloSians. at least. prefer tho strong
meat OF Calvinism to the diluted food OF
Briggsism. and tho confidence with which
they have organized this movement for the
support OF the opponents OF DR.. BRIGGS In
dicates that they have reason to expect the
assistance OF many other Fifth avenue
Presbyterian women.
The most valuable allies OF both Prince
ton and Union are plous Presbyterian
women. They have regard for theologi-
cal students which Is akin to maternal af-
lection. They look on those young candi-
dates for the ministry as children of the
faith. with whose welfare 1t Is their duty to
concern themselves. II the inmates of the
theological seminaries depended ON men
alone for spiritual encouragement and sub
stantial maintenance. they would fare Ill.
They are out Of the track OF the activities OF
men. and good though they be. they are not
always engaging In their personality.
Some. at least, of the material which these
schools mould into shape is not attractive
In its crude form. and 1t may be even re-
pulsive to other eyes than the eyes Of such
enthusiastic fifth as belongs to pious
women. For the very reason that there
may DO something Of the singed cat In the
appearance OF candidates for the ministry.
feminine consideration is the moro ex-
pended on them.
Theological students do not come usually
from among the most promising of Pres
byterian youth, and generally they
are poor. Very often they receive their
whole education. collegiate and theological,
entirely without charge. and they are

Tho Happy Cherokees.

The new Principal Chief Of the Cherokee
Nation will DO the ruler OF smaller domain
and a richer people than his predecessor
was tho ruler Of. The negotiations for the
purchase OF the Cherokee Outlet by the
United States Government were completed
on the 10th instant. one week before the
death Of Principal Chief MAYEs and two or
three days before the election OF Principal
Chief HARRIS. The 100000 acres Of the
Outlet have just been transferred from the
Cherokee Nation to our public domain. and
will soon be opened to white settlement.
But II the Cherokees thus lose nearly half
Of their lands. they will be enriched by the
large sum Of money which the Government
pays for it. the sum Of s.. sos. 7se.12H. There
arc only about 1900 OF them. all told. 30
that the aggregate wealth OF the Nation.
which is already large from the proceeds Of
previous sales Of land. will be larger than
any other nation Of its size on earth.
A part OF the money now to be paid
to them will be devoted to public uses
There Is every reason to believe that 1t
will be properly used. as the Cherokees are a
shrewd. careful. and well-governed people
They elect their own rulers: they have an
excellent Constitution and judicial system.
and an admirable educational system: they
have q Legislature Of two Houses. the ma
jority OF the members Of which make their
speeches in the Cherokee language; they
do not need to pay any taxes. for the public
treasury is always full; and they are pro-
tected against all adversaries by the power
Of the United States. The richer members
Of the tribe live in costly residences Of
modern architecture. have fine farms Of
thousands Of acres. and enjoy life In way
that might make BELLAMY wish he belonged
to them. They are better Christians than
many Of our white churchgoers. and better
politicians than many members OF Tam
many, and more intelligent than some OF
our college graduates. and better at bar
gain than some Of our hucksters. and have
lower death rate than any Of our cities.
Their most serious vice Is that Of smoking
tobacco.
We send our compliments to the new
Principal Chief OF the Cherokees. who will
rule over q lesser domain and richer peo-
pie than were ruled by his lamented prede-
cessor. We wish him and his people Joy
over the $s.595. 1922 which will soon pass
out Of our hands into theirs.

THE Victoria Advocate pens the
flowing stupid untruthtulness, for
what purpose it were difficult to
say:
A resident of the city of Washington,
by name, B. Harrison, will soon visit
Victoria, he will receive hearty
welcome. Not for his name, however,
but in respect for the great office he
holds.
The Advocate knows that President
Harrison had no intention of visiting
Victoria; and any one who reads the
item can see that there is no wit in it
to excuse its untruthfulness Some
men have got 1t the natural way, and
got it bad. Barlow seems to be one of
