Hint to SuHragists.


The Massachusetts Woman's Suffrage association
complains that replies to Grover Cleyeands articles
in the Ladies' Home Journal are denied publication
by the editor thereof, whereupon the woman sufra
gsts threaten to withdraw their subscriptions to the
paper. We doubt the efficacy Of this move. The
Ladies Home Journal fills longfelt want. It has
become impossible tat to tattle in this country
without the Ladies' Home Journal. Suffrage is not
the only human interest the woman's rights people
have, and the Ladies' Home Journal represents all
rest Tt teaches how to crochet and how to make
three dollars worth Of Christmas presents out Of a
ball Of string, glue and bit of colored paste
board Since the Journal achieved its enormous cir
culation there has been. perceptibe falling off in
the cost of Christmas. . People who strobe thru
the shops tearing their hair in vain endeavor to
think what to buy for this that dear att home

revolution in public sentiment the moment it became

he cannot be driven. It might be we'll to try him

Union THANKSGIVING.

The approach Of Thanksgiving warns us that this

Memorial Days rest different foundations. Memo
rial Day is recognition of the supreme sacrifice Of
other men for us; Thanksgiving is frank expression

holiday Surely cause Of our rejoicing is that

Church and Stage.

The burial Of Sir Henry Irving's remains in the
historic abbey. has just awakened English noncon-
formst sentiment to the realization that the act was
not merely one of compliment to great actor but
was in measure an Endorsement of the stage. Some
protests are therefore coming IN which are too late
to affect the honors paid to Irving but season
to reawaken the traditional objections theater
on the part Of many churchgoers. #&lS& - IL
The discussion of the morality Of the stage which
had almost died out, has recently been given new
life but the objections leveled now notEso much
against the actors as against the managers. The
commercalizng Of the stage has made long strides
in the past decade. Nearly every important theater
in this country has, until recently at least, been
dominated. by an association of New York managers
not one Of whom is noted for his devotion to the
elevation of the stage st;ss{
The so-called trust is composed Of men whose
ruling motive is the money that is IN the theater
They are the authors of the atrocious starring sys
tenn and have carried it to such lengths that they
are able to not only performers but playwrghts
as we'll They keep certain playwrights on their staff
az surely as they do certain actors. They thus DOM
mate the whole theatrical situation. The CONNER
calizng of the theater also accounts in great
IRE for its Of the Sabbath The actors have
no desire to work seven days in the week for six
days. pay, but the managers have every reason in
the world to open the playhouses seven days in the
week since they do SO without adding materially
to- the cost Of the stage production
But Notwithstanding the prevalence of CONNER
cia spirit the heater has advanced with the public.
There are today in the world distinctly good and dis
