Are There Any Newspaper Women Who


 It is said there are women correspond ents who fake interviews. They per haps go across the water to Europe. They send home pretended interviews with distinguished persons which con- tain not a word of truth. They never were invited to the distinguished per. sons house; they never spoke word to him in their lives. But the faked inter. view is printed in American journals. In course of time it floats back across the water. It comes under the distin- guished persons eye. Thenceforward in his mind all American newspaper wo- men are liars and interruptions hangers on to the ragged edge of reputable so- ciety, not to be countenanced anywhere. have been told that this thing has been done on numerous occasions by women tolerably well known in journalistic cir cles. l hope for the sake of journalism and Of honest women workers every where that it is not true. The wickedest. most disreputable thing a journalist can do is to write a lie. The more experience l have in newspaper ranks the more that truth is impressed on me. The one who writes lie discredits all honest journal ists and decent journalism, however trivial the lie may be. Our real power in journalism, of whatsoever kind, de- bends first on our ability to see the truth, next on our ability to tell it. We weaken our powers in both directions when we write a single line that is false. A thoroughly sincere person knows on the instant when anybody is telling him a falsehood, and the journalistic fakir must meet in time the fate of all liars. l The woman fakir, if there is any, may swim bravely for awhile. She will bring up at length ruined ill health and purse, l with not a shred of journalistic repu- 1 tation left and not a newspaper in the Union that will employ her. More than l that, she will do her sex almost irrepar- able injury just at this moment when we are struggling so desperately to get l worthy name among the worlds work l CTS. She will help create an impression | that all newspaper women are liars and | sharPers.
 It is q brave and eloquent tribute | which w. T. Stead pays in The Review ! of Reviews to Frances Willard, whom . he calls "the uncrowned queen of Amer ican democracy" He says that the real ! church militant in America is the w. c. l T. U., and that the women belonging to l it have done more 10 advance Christian unity and brotherhood than all the men who have ever tried to work along that ! line. The w. c. T. D.. if it was little broader in some respects and would ad- init men as members, might stand for the beginning of the church of human ity.
 | Don't be an old fossil.
 w. T. Stead says of Queen Victoria: Broadly speaking, it may be fairly said that the queen would be acknowledged by all her ministers-Liberal or Con. servative-to have more knowledge of the business of governing nations than any of her prime ministers; more experi- ence of the mysteries and intricacies of foreign affairs than any of her foreign secretaries"
 The leading floral decorator of Cleve- 1 land is woman-Mrs. c. H. Wilson. l She began the business on small scale, learning her way along as she went ] Now she has 10000 feet nf greenhouses. | 1t is a pleasure to write of woman who has head enough to conduct large busi- | fal r,1l ture is work particularly adapted to women, if they are willing to observe 1 the conditions of success, the first of which is, as a New York florist declares, "hard work and no Sundays" Don't sleep single night upon that abomination, a draped and canopied bed. Tear off the curtains and let the air in.
 At the Episcopal convention in Balti- more they finished the revision of the | prayer book, which had been hanging l fire for twelve years. They also favored | Christian unity when the Christianity is | Episcopal and settled various other mat ! ters. But l saw never a line about striking that monstrous word "obey" out of the marriage service. How a woman with spark of brains or self respect can be member of church that retains the word obey in it's mar riage ceremony is mystery. It is too much for me-this trying to understand | the feminine nature.
 Indians occupying farms in severalty voted for president for the first time this year. commend to general atten- tion and extended application the follow ing extract from an able editorial in the New York Sun on the red man with vote: "It used to be said that the reason why the Indian did not get his rights was because he had no vote. Possessed of vote, he will find champions enough in congress and in his district"
 Nearly all the temperance work that can count real, permanent results has been done by the w. c. T. U. and or ganizations of women.
