Taxation without Representation.

DR.. Hemphill Of the Calvary Presby-
terian church, San Francisco, lately gave
a Sunday evening lecture on "Woman's
Rights and Wrongs" in which he de-
clared his unqualified support of wom-
ans right to vote. He called attention
to the different standards of education
for the two sexes; the fact that only
within the present generation women
were permitted TO enter the professions;
to the different standard of wages, where
women who do the same work as men
as well or sometimes better are paid 25
per cent less; to the different standard
of taxation, where women who are prop
erty holders are compelled to pay in the
same ratio as men, and are yet denied
the right of franchise.
The action of our forefathers in emp
tying the British tea into Boston harbor
was mentioned in connection with the
injustice of taxation without representa-
ton, and the speaker said that ''if taxa
tion OF men under these ciTcu.,stances
is tyranny, taxation of women under
similar conditions is downright infamy."

Women In Iceland.

The establishment at Reykjavik of a
school for the higher education OF girls
is likely to be soon complete. A peculiar
interest is found in the work from the
fact that it indicates total change in
social aspects in that country, where the
few existing educational institutions of
a good order have been provided exclu-
sively for men. The girls generally have
had no other education than that ac-
quired at home. They will be indebted
in a certain degree to the Worlds fair
for so unfair course being interrupted,
since this brought as the Icelandic dele
gate Nine. Sigridir Magnusson, who has
been diligently at work for the school,
proposing to devote to its benefit the
proceeds from the sale of private prop
erty of her own in the form of collec-
tion of northern antiquities.
The patrons of the school are his ma
jesty the king of Denmark, her royal
highness the Princess of Wales, her roy
al highness the Duchess of Teck, the
Dowager Lady Stanley OF Afderley, the
Viscountess Emlyn, the Dowager Lady
Churchill, the Lady Kensington, the
Hon. Emily Cathcart and others. A
house has been built for this school on a
piece of ground given to Mime. Magnus-
son for the purpose by her mother

union an important commercial stand

the rentals now received amount to $780,

is claimed. The rent roll with all the
Offices filled will reach the considerable
sum of 1920, 900 annually. If the women
can fill this building, they will in few

said by experts, however, that these fig

nearly half of the Vassar graduates real

than half marry there is certainly some

Woman as a PeacenaSer.

/, At recent meeting of woman's club
the discussion of social customs in Ger
many, following a delightful paper read
by Mrs. Bayard Taylor, brought out
from several speakers the opinion that in
a country where the soldier is so marked
a figure in affairs the status of the wom-
an is not apt to be prominent She nat
urally suffers by continual, if involun-
tary and scarcely recognized, comparison
with the sturdy and stalwart warrior.
This leads on to the rejection that
the time is going to come in tae history
of the world when the standing armies
will be swept from the face of the earth,
and that, too, perhaps, by the banding
together of women. The peace associa-
