Woman Suffrage Ooposers.

A bill is before the legislature Of
New York giving suffrage to women
property owners in towns of the third
class. A deputation of ~weli-known
women from various parts of the state
recently appeared at Albany to protest
against it. Among the protesters were
Mrs. Richard Watson Glider, Mrs. Ros-
sitter johnson, Mrs. C. G. La Fargo,
Mrs. William Putnam. The memorial
submitted alleges that the bill was not
asked for by those for whom it is ap-
parently intended. but was only an ex-
preston Of the woman suffrage asso-
citation. whose repeated efforts had al
ways failed to arouse much interest
among women. A similar bill was de-
feated two years ago.
Among the facts stated against the
bill was the persistent refusal Of
women to accept municipal suffrage.

Consolidating Country Schools.

COUNTY, SCDoosSs
An interesting experiment is being
made In the country schools of Iowa
the result of which will b. looked for
anxiously by other communities. What
the educators hope to accomplish Is
the abolition of the little white school
houses which dot The hills Of that
fiourishing state. The idea is n of
economy. and 1t would seem that the
plan II carried out successfully would
result in a great saving to the tax
payers. 1t has been found that in
Iowa as elsewhere there are in the
country districts too many school
buildings and teachers for the popu~
lation and that in many places the cost
OF educating the pupils was much
greater than 1t should be.
AS a trial a central school has been
built In each of about fifty townships,
and all the little district schools done
away with. Transportation is fur
nished for pupils living at remote dis
tances and the teachers, In reduced
numbers. are gathered in the main
school. The cost OF transportation is
said to be only $50 a month for each
township, which seems a r~idiculously
small sum, and the plan has proved SO
far as the experiment goes a great
success.

There are some in this world who are
compelled to tarry at home. The great
race of life goes on. and they are left
behind; they are too weak to run. Here
Is a poor invalid who has for years
been unable to leave the bed Of pain.
He started with grand promise. and
men said he would be first at the goal.
But God weakened his strength In the
way, and he fell ere the race had well
begun. He sees the interiors Of other
days pass him, and he Is tempted to
cry In his despair, What profit Is there
In my life? Why am | suffered to live
on? Thinkest thou. then, that thou
art doing no work for God? God him.
self thinks otherwise. He says that
they who run In the race have only
half the battle; they must divide the
spoil with those who tarry at home.
There are those whose duty 1t is to
wait for God. They have nothing to
do with the hand. with the sweat of
the brow, with the toll Of the brain;
their work is all with the heart. But
what a work that Is! The tolls of hand
and brain are nothing to 1t; these yield
q solace by their very energy, but the
sad heart has only to bear. 1t Is har-
der to bear than to do. l may be
rudely jostled in the race, but the race
itself gives an excitement that makes
me forget my pain; | am there, at
least, In the company OF my fellow
men. But to tarry at home, to wait
passive under the shadow of God, to
have nothing to do but bear the bur-
den of one great cross-this 10 the
trial of love. Yes, my soul, and this
is thy communion with thy Lord. His
work, too. was to tarry at home. All
the runners In the race laid their bur-
dens on him and left him alone to bear
them. He bowed his head In the gar
den, but he tainted not. He emptied
his glory on the cross. but his love
remained full. Stand beside him. o
my soul; watch with him In the lonely
garden; help him to bear his cross up
the via dolorosa; strive with the dying
penitent by his side to see the majestic
strength of his sustained weakness;
and thou shalt know why 1t is written
OF him: He shall divide the spoil
with the strong."-George Matheson.

the brewers with wiltfully introducing

We all have heard of the leaden

Justice at times overtakes gross Grim

those regulating civil conduct. don't

so to speak. The best thought of the
time refuses to grant that the evil that
follows modern industrial conditions
cannot be cured without denying the
right to personal liberty that Is at the
very foundation Of present American
government. Because that thought Is
not prepared to glibly the
solution Of the problem lie nothing to
its discredit. It's reasonably sure to
