have a medium Of expression Of suffi-
Gent size and impressiveness to catch
the eye Of the politicians. The i'm.
portance of sustaining the general
federation is therefore apparent.
1t is rarely that a speech delivered
by a popular president to the Organi-
over which he has presided for two
years, IS more impressive in print
than when it was delivered. But such
is the case with Mrs. HenrOtin's ad-
dress. Without any Of the sophie
morical sentimentalities which weak
en- many addresses OF women, Mrs.
Henrutin's speech was the expression
of an unusually intelligent, brave and
honest woman as to the meaning OF
club association and federation. Two
paragraphs, the one characterizing the
four meetings Of the general fedora
ton, and the other concerning the
new importance of industrial ques-
riOns to women, are subjOlned:
'sThe question before the world to
day is correlation Of forces. Each
Biennial OF the general federation has
been marked by distinct step in this

have studied sociology to some pur-

portant for them to apprehend the
economic and the financial condition
OF women a. for the woman who is
struggling in the competitive labor

woman in her own home that her sis

large majority Of horses sealed to the
posts around market square, unshaded

protected. Men who are constantly
surrounded by animals and birds, by
field flowers and the scent Of growing

unresponsive to all these things. The
labor which is necessary TO make the
earth yield an increase may blind him

Indifference to athletics, among
others, was one of the causes of the
crumbling vitality of Greece and
Rome, when those splendid Oratorical
resorts finally went to pieces. The
development of cookery and home
economics, the increase in the luxury
and warmth of the baths. the in
creased number of orders deposited
with sculptOrs Of the nude and a neg
lect OF football and other martial pur-
suits. enfeebled the once sturdy Ro-
man youth who grew to think life a
matter Of divans, statues, inlaid floors,
FLASHING waters, music and lissOme
maidens. When the cOarse-skinned,
hairy-chested, not very clean Goths
descended upon the Roman sissies,
they found them entirely unprepared
for such rudeness and Rome was di-
vided up by the unwashed and the
clean little white boys they allowed to
live were given mental jobs far away
from the luxury they counted essen
tial to happiness. From that time to
this the neglect Of athletics is a sure
rign of decadence of manliness. The
stages are marked by self conscious and
subjective literature and art and
steadily decreasing physical activity.
From all these signs of national lazi.
ness may we be preserved. The time is
not one from which to draw a moral,
but encouragement. Golf and tennis

the situation instead OF simplifying
It. Every man who has an opinion
on the subject believes, or says he be-
lieves. 1.-THE two are not identical) that
the country agrees with him. Public
opinion may be guessed at by the
headlines to the Geographic news and
by the editorials in the newspapers.
Both of these departments reflect the
personal opinions Of the publishers of
newspapers Whether the publishers
express more than their own opinion
depends upon the character of the
editors and the quality OF their in
spiratiOn. 1t was unsafe, for instance,
during the last presidential campaign
to judge Of Mr.. Bryan's strength by
the newspapers, for be had very few
on his side. 1t is also impossible to
judge of the sentiment in favor of
trades unions and OF change in social
and commercial policy by the news
papers. On the question of the Phil
ippines they are about evenly de-
vided. The New York Sun, which
has a more valid claim to represent
ing the sentiment If intelligent people
than any other newspaper in this
country, advocates expansion by the
requirement Of the archipelago of
the Philippines and the islands
OF the West Indies. and there
are many other great dailies which
concur with the Sun. On the
other hani Harper's Weekly. the Bus-
ton Transcript, the Kansas City
Times, the San Francisco Call and in
Vulnerable other papers are doing
their utmost to convince the presi-
dent and congress that the possession
Of the Philippines would increase
taxation and bring the United States
in frequent conflict with European
powers, without comforting any corre-
spending benefit upon this country
Meanwhile the president has an
nounce his intention of finding out
what the country really wants and
then Of doing it. II our beloved and
clever president can separate an ar
ticulate direction from the roar and
babble Of the various societies. from
the politicians advocacy of both re-
nunciation and expansion, and from
the crackle of the great dailies, he
has indeed superhuman intelligence
as well as patience.

Of animals, by farmers who consider
themselves enlightened and who look
down upon city folks as more or less
depraved, it is frequently barbarOus.
For instance, farmers will leave a

affectionate dog trOt after their team
