that though there no means of changing
the law. there should hereafter be less scruple
in breaking it wherever the safety of the exist
ing government was concerned. In later times
Parliament would have suspended the action OF
the Habeas Corpus Act. and have thereby en-
powered the executive to take exceptional meas
Ures for the safety of the State. Such course
being out Of the question. the Protector had 10
choice but to succumb to the wave of conspiracy
which beset him to resort TO measures which
could not be justified by law. We may blame
him. if We WILL for not having thrown down his
arms before Parliament aiming, consciously

may we'll be moderated when we remember that

enough divers acts brought him into much the
same position that occupied by Charles L.
Both had the same antagonist-a Parliament

Nobody will derry that there is some ground
for Professor Hugo Miinsterberg's mOurnful
comments on what he believes 10 be the pre-
uoudpranc, of women in all the nOn-pOlitical
functions of public life in this country. While
yv,. do hot share all his fears 20 the dangers
of this prelonderance. we must concede that III
some directions fear is justified We do not
think that there has been IAN effemination OF
THE higher culture aniagonistc TO the
development of a really representative national
civilization. but il is true that a great deal of
our so-cl,led literature is addressed to what
authors imagine is feminine taste and is weak
cned thereby While women readers may ap-
lreciate the noble and virile in letters, il is
undoubtedly the fact that a contrary impression
exists in many quarters and that il invites to
a career of authorship men and women whose
capacities are adapted 10 something less ambi-
iiouS 1t may be frankly acknowledged that
fiction. at least in the United States. is largely
written for women. and that it has suffered
from u mistaken idea aS to feminine require

feSSor Miin>terberg is too sweeping in his com
plants of determination of culture. and we
