Among the contributors to a sympo-
SUM on Are Women's Clubs Help
ful?' in a recent number of the Chris
tan Herald was Mrs. D. S. stephens,
president of the federated clubs Of
Kansas City. who said:
by club life we understand the as
ISOLATION of women for study and self
culture. The generally accepted work
in culture clubs of the present time
undoubtedly does benefit woman. Tt
enlarges the sphere of her life and
sympathies. 1t rescues her from the
narrowness and provincialism of the
gent sympathy with the larger world
of life and literature. It makes her a
citizen of the commonwealth, as well
as a member of the home.
This enlargement of her life helps to
the better performance of her domestic
duties. It makes her a better mother.
Understanding the world of activity in
which after awhile her children are
to enter, she is in a better position to
train them for their future duties.
The awakened interest of women in
the sanitary conditions of home. towns
and cities. the purity and cleanliness
OF food products, civic pride in envi-
ronments. all tend to the betterment
OF home life and the successful rearing
of children.
On the whole, the home, as well as
society in general. viii be the better
for the enlarged intellectual life that
culture clubs secure for women. To at
tempt to stay the movement that is
leading her to larger life and useful
ness is as futile as the attempt to
sweep back the oceans tide with a
broom.

that the Champs" have been shut out seven

HISTORIC CHRISTIANITY.
Early Beliefs and Continuous Traditions OF
the Church.

To THE EnIroR OF Tbs SrS-!Sir: The
mistake which your correspondents signing
themselves Hereto" seem to make Is this:
While they would like TO rule their lives ac-
cording to the precepts Of Jesus Christ, they
think that the New Testament is the only
source of information. and that what Is not
very clearly tau ght in that portion OF the
Bible Is not to be required for belief. They
are surely not ignorant OF the fact that
for n period Of moro than two centuries the
Christian Church did not possess the Bible.
Printing was not then invented. and manu-
scripts were not widely distributed. conse-
~auently when at Nicea the Church In the year
1925 A. D. formulated a creed 1t was not a
document like the American Constitution,
made to create a nation. but merely the gath
ering mp OF existing beliefs.
The pitiful discussion at the Council OF
Mecca with Athanasius on one side and Arlus
on the other is. to my mind, the strongest
ar glment In favor Of the virgin birth, the
divinity Of ch ka and hs the rs ,Ss Gise,Sss,o on

"Some Other Republican,"

To an inquiry from a veteran Repub-
lican who doubtless was abroad on
the Tuesday after the first Monday in
November. 1904, Mr.. ROOSEVELT has
replied through his secretary that he is
not a candidate for President in 1908.
you will have to vote for some other
Republican next time" he writes by the
hand Of LOEB.
A man who was a delegate to the con-
vention that nominated Fremont and
DAYTON is Of an age to be treated with
Difference and punctilious courtesy. The
same question from a more modern
man would justify some impatient heat
on the part of Mr.. ROOSEVELT. He is
not used to having his sincerity brought
into doubt, least of all by his professed
friends. He voluntarily gave notice OF
his intention to the American people on
the night of the day Of his memorable
triumph at the polls. He must regard
suspicion of his perfect good faith in
that solemn public determination rather
as an insult than as a compliment.

Two Old Time Murders.

TO TIE EDITOR OF TIE uN-Sf The article
In Sundays Sun about the murder OF Adams by
Colt reminds me OF an incident OF my boyhood.
There formerly was a cupola on the old Tombs
somewhat like the one now on the City Hall. The
day on which Colt was TO be hanged this cupola
was burned, and l remember seeing It burn
slso rsmember the talk OF the old folks. that the
nre was caused by Colts friends, and the rumor
was that during the excitement caused oy the nre
Colt escaped, and that there was no suicide. Many
believed this.
also remember hearing when l was q little fel-
low a good deal about q murder OF or by "Poily
iodine" Who was she and whom did she murder
or who murdered heri
There was not a murder every day In those days,
and when there was one II was the subject of con-
We reation for months.

Now that Harvard has, after serving
seven wears, wrested the prize OF victory
from Yale, all kinds of explanations are
forthcoming. 1t might be we'll at this time
to recall the pertinent answer Of GEORGE
L. WATSON, the English yacht designer,
when he was asked to explain why the
Volunteer defeated his production, the
Thistle. He said: Because she went
~faster.' The aftermath Of the Yale-Har-
ward race included the effacement OF a
popular New London idea, to wit, that it
was better for the town to have Harvard
win, because the ons Of the Crimson always
remained there to celebrate their victory,
while Yalensians FASTENED away to New
Haven. This time the Harvard cohorts
took their captains and their shouting out
of town before 0 o'clock and New London
had to make merry all by herself.

Urban and Rural Mortality.
From a csusu, Bureau Report.

"
The average annual death rate in the r~egistra-
tlon States In the years 10000 o was IT'S per 1000
In the cities OF 5000 or more population in 1900 and
I4.a per 1000 In rural districts, which, as the term
Is here used. includes everything outside these
cities. Rhode Island Is the only registration State
In which the rate was as high In the rural districts
as in the cities. In Massachusetts,. Connecti-
cut and New Hampshire the urban rate exceeded
the rural by less than ! per 1000. The excess was
greatest in New Jersey, Now York and Maine.
The higher mortality for cities is due largely
10 tho fact that residents OF rural districts when
critically III resort to the hospitals and institu-
lions in the cities for treatment and that the deaths
occurring In such cases are registered In the
cities, thus increasing the urban mortality.
The average annual rates were lowest In st.
Joseph. No. Go; owosso. Mich. do.D: Lincoln.

In Charleston. s. O. (sl. 81; Wilmington, N. @. (2s.D
and Jacksonville, Fla. (2s.p.
There were forty-four cities In which the averag Q
annual death rate for the Ave years was twenty or
more per 900. Nineteen OF these cities are located
In the Southern States and contain q large proper
ton Of colored population. the death rate for which
