WOMEN AND EnucArloN

Miss n. Carey Thomas. president OF
Bryn Mawr College. in an address be-
fore the Federation OF women's Clubs
at st. Louis declared that college edu-
cation Tor women does not keep them.
from marriage nor make them poor
wives. She takes the ground that true
education. along the lines OF individual
tastes and capacities fits anyone for
the duties and responsibilities Of lie
no matter in what sphere they are
placed.
Miss Thomas is eternaliy right. The
maternal instinct and the instinct OF
home-making are not deadened by edu-
cation, but they may be destroyed by
frivolity and dissipation. It Is true that
the woman who has been refined by
years OF association with books ana
people Of culture is not ready to throw
herself into the arms Of any man. but
that does not say that her capacity for
wifehood has been iesseaed. She viii
select her life partner with greater
care, but there Is nothing to show that
she viii prefer life Of single blessed
ness.
It Is fortunate that so many Of oui
daughters are taking to the higher ed.
ucation idea. There are many thingi
to be learned at college besides Latir
and Greek. The discipline which mus
be acquired. the habit OF work, tn
spur Of competition-ali help 10 rende
the woman a stronger and better fac
tor in the home than she otherwis
would be. BY all means allow the girl
to acquire all the education possible.

NOT FIT TO VOTE.

Recently two business mon OF this
city, both OF them Republicans, were
engaged in conversation, when one ask
ed the other which party he proposed
to support IN the coming campaign.
This was the reply: III there are two
tickets / shall endeavor TO see which
promises to poll the greatest number
Of votes, and ] shall support that" he
remarked that he knew Of many men
who feel the same way.
Isn't that remarkable admission
for man Of Intelligence TO make?
And IL 1t is true that there are many
others Ike him doesn't it show the
need OF missionaries When man
casts his ballot the presumption is that
he votes his sentiments. II then he
declares 10 advance that ne has no sem
tlments but 20 be counted with the
majority he ls not 1T 10 be entrusted
with The ballot. II becomes dam
gerous playthlhg IN his hands.
We have no sympathy with Bryan
ism; we regard the single tax theories
as utterly lmpracticable ana revou-
tlonary but we have more respect for
the man who believes in them and who
VIII stand up to be counted than for
the Republican who supports a party
only because st promises success.
a man who lives ia republic has
certain duties. Among the highest OF
these Is to employ his judgment and
his conscience in casting his ballot.
And that is not a mere beautiful the
ory, either. For when the majority
becomes corrupt and Indifferent the
government ceases to be something to
prize and becomes burden and a
curse.
An honest man is Methodist a
jew, or Catholic because he believes
In certain system OF religion. He
should be equally honest in his politi-
cal faith and conduct. II he Is not, he
should have the ballot taken away
from him. and he should be governed
by those who understand what free
institutions mean and what duties they
impose.

The Young Woman Reporters Story.
The following food tale written by
clever young newspaper woman is
true story that came under her per-
sonal observation:

Mac has been with us all that time and
do not know how much longer. Macs
full name Is MacClelan Before the
Linotypes came I'm he was good
printer and was one OF the first to
learn the machine and is now. at about
the age OF AZ, one Of our very fastest
operators.
Last winter and the winter before
Mac probably from constant night
work and improper food, got badly run
down could not eat much. what little
he did eat did not do him much good
and he always complained he could
not keep warm.
II missed him for awhile until yes
terday / overlook him on the street go
ing toward the Office, and hardly knew
the man; had il not been for the
familiar walk I should surely have
passed without recognizing him. He
was stout his face was round and
ruddy and his eyes bright as I had
never seen them before.
Il said Mac. hardly knew you. what
on earth have you been doing TO get

food three months ago when I weighed

PhlladelphIa Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Russell Sage says that during his

self denial I'm never having INDUCED In
the idle habit which. he asserts. Is not
only needless and consequently. extrav-
agant but unfair to the employer IT,.
says Mr.. Sage, a man can work eleven
and onc-half months. he can work just
as wen twelve months IN the year.
II the be all and end all OF his life
is not that of Mr.. Sage IL there be
nobler ideals and ioftier planes OF living
than the accumulation by hook or by
crook Of many millions. then Mr.. sage's
views Of everybody toiling and moiling,
month IN and month out day i'm and
day out, 20 the years ending, may be
entitled TO less respect than he be-
lieves them to be.
II was long ago an indisputable
axiom Of the wisest teachers that "all
work and no play makes Jack "a dull
boy" this Is quite as true Of the man
as Of the boy. There are those who
contend. and with show Of reason, that
the employer who grants his employe
a vacation Is thereby the gamer, not
the loser. He has a grateful servant;
one who because Of his summer holiday
works not only with increased vigor
and industry. but with cheerful willing
ness. He has returned to his task re-
invlgorated, he has inhaled into brains
as well as lungs the strengthening air
Of the mountains. the lowlands, the sea
and river. He has had his vacation out
Of doors with Nature, and is the better
man, the ADLER, more valuable work.

winds do blow, the grass grows lush

deny TO all those who bear the heat and

aREouEsTs

The Democrats Of Delaware are in
convention al Dover today. The party
is on trial. as parties always are on
trial when they approach a campaign.
But this is true in a peculiar sense
IN this instance. The opportunity pre-
sents itself Of looking beyond the hori-
zon Of ward and county politics and
OF doing something which shall stamp
the party OF Delaware not as hot house
politicians. but as Democrats in a
larger and broader sense.
But from the indications at this
writing they have failed TO measure up
TO their opportunities. The forces led
BY Kenney have ut-generaied the op-
position and broken through what ap-
peared TO be a stubborn front. The
Gray men. including many who are
close to him. have agreed for the sake
OF harmony to present delegation
composed OF men who are opposed to
Gray with request 70 vote for him.
There were strenuous objections to the
word Instruct" and request" was
urged as a proper substitute. This
means that the delegates from Della
ware viii trade and dlcker to their
hearts content and that they win pay
no attention TO the feeble sentiment
expressed by the convention.
At this writing the friends OF Judge
Gray stand impotent with teeth chat
tering. They have crossed swords
with Kenney and he has put them out
Of the Tight They came to the con-
vention with majority-so they
claini-and they have become as tame
and spiritless as the veriest minority.
And yet they will go back to their
constituents, asking again for a vote
Of confidence. Some Of the loudest OF
the Gray shouters have been eager to
accept the pusillanimous order to in
sert the word request"

Special to the Evening Journal.
New Castle, June William Deakyne
Of this city. has an interesting document
bearing on the Philippine war and one
which was regarded with considerable in
terest by 1--WE persons at one time.
The paper is a typewriter petition to
an American commander in charge IN the
Philippines in 1899 asking that hve native
Flhpinos, who had been taken prisoners
by the Americans, be released. The petit
ton goes on to state that the prisoners
were non-combatants and the husbands OF
the Ave women who were asking for their
release. The request was signed by the
women who claimed that the men had
been captured while at work in the fields
and that their absence was causing great
hardships on the part of their families
who depended on them for support.
The petition had been referred through
several departments and finally returned,
with the recommendation THAT Il be re-
fused. There Is nothing about it TO in
dicate the fate of the prisoners or their
families or in any way give an inkling as
to what, il any, final disposition was made
Of the case.
