has excited popular admiration everywhere

the whole history of Turkish misrule in
Crete, and have dwelt upon the promises of
the Porte, broken time and again, to in
augurate reforms in the island. At these
meetings subscription lists were opened for
the benefit of the struggling islanders, and
goodly sums have been realized. Many
young men whose enthusiasm has been
aroused by the Cretan Christians and the
bold defiance of Turkey by the Greeks have
volunteered to serve with the Christians,
and numbers of them have already started
for Crete.

to Greece can be obtained in no other way.
The populace demand that no attention be

crowd gathered last Sunday in front OF the

royal princes, whose actions meet with the

The Right Way.

The following sensible resolution was
adopted by the recent Congress of
Mothers at the instance of Anthony
COmstock
Resolved, That we will admit into our
houses only those papers which inspire to
noble thought ana deed, and that our in
huence shall go toward cultvating the
public taste, until it shall demand from
the press only that which elevates and re-
fines.
Here we have the right way pointed
out to a substantial reform of American
journalism. If the women of America
who preside over it's home life direct
their efforts to the casting forth of
filthy newspapers, filthy newspapers
will soon cease to be profitable and un-
scrupulous men will not thereafter pub
lish them. The influence of woman
might go even further than this. Since
mems character are revealed by the
papers they read, the froWn of society
should be cast upon that man who hab-
ituates his mind to receive the vile sug-
gestions contained in such publications
as disgrace the newspaper business.
This would be a far more effective
method of combating the foul newspa-
per evil than to enact additional laws
directed against that evil.
II is by no means feasible to convert
the daily press into kind of Sunday
school leafet because by so doing its
influence for good would be immediate
ly limited to those who are already in
accord with noble impulses It's true
function is to report societys innumer-
able activities and render it possible
for various individuals busy with differ
ent cares and separated each from the
other by distance or circumstance tc
keep informed as to each others do
ings, Such a purpose is wholly leglti-
mate, and when achieved with discre-
tion and without eXaggeration of such
activities as are corruDting constitutes
a cohesive and integrating force in So
| cial evolution. But while the press

den to contend with. The poets are after
her. Below is one of the latest conJribu-
tons to the cause of her eN-royal high
ness of Hawaii:
Forevermore the queen, though ruthless
hand despoiling
Thee of Hawains crown,
In clutch of rapine st!ll thy fair isles
keeping
With petty despot's frown;
Barring the gates thy queenly hand wide
opened,
Thine is the high renown.
OF justice, dealt with worldwide, pure
intention,
And mercys blessed care;
over thine isles of peace its might extend
ing
Thy peoples ceaseless prayer;
Thine the true womanhood that shines eX-
In light the martyrs bear.
Upheld by conscious right, thy wrongs
appealing
To worldwide sympathy
Invest thee with a triple power surpass-
ing
The state of royalty.
All kindred hearts that throb for right
eous freedom
Allegiance give to thee;
And thou are honored, loved by trust eX-
alted
queen evermore to be.
