I larly attractive village or town, where
the fences are in good repair, or
where fences being obsolete, lawns are
separated only by d~iVeways; when
there is an absence of loose papers
and rubbish on the streets and things

sure that women have bestirred them
selves I'm that locality. Municipal af-
fairs appeal to women, in contrast TO
the larger affairs of the county or the
state. The same attention to detail
and careful economy that make a
woman notable in the thrifty man

themselves and take time and pains
to keep the burrough or the hamlet or
the city ward where they reside in a
shape of which they are not ashamed.
In many cities there are health pro-

capable and efficient women, who de-
scend to various minute supervisors

community. These supervisors re-

which effort they support and supple

the sanitary condition of the more
crowded quarters of the town. Not
infrequently such associations render
themselves unpopular by the radical
character Of their methods. and by
their determination to invoke legal
remedies when people refuse to keep

overlook the influence that these
changed opinions may have upon the

Neither can We ignore the fact that
our prestige as a teacher of the princi-
pies of republican government must
be impaired If we hold colonies under

by using the arguments employed by
kings and emperors as an excuse for
denying government to their owl,

the consent Of the governed and at the
same time adopt different principle
in practice.
Moral Danger to Our Troops.
1t is worth while also to remember
that foreign service is more or less
demoralizinG on our troops. Our sol
diers are good, average men, but all
men are more or less influenced bv
environment, and our soldiers cannot
be expected to maintain as high a
standard of morality when far away
from home and the influences of home,
as when their good purposes are
strengthened by the presence of moth
er, sisters and friends. The hospital
records show the extent to which our
soldiers yield to the temptations
which surround the post. and the
saloons which follow our army spea K
fOrcibly of the dangers which attend
foreign service. Can we afford to sub
ject the morals of our young mon to
such severe tests unless there is some
national gain commensurate with the
loss?

The public spirit of women in this
country is evidenced in a manner
rather different from that displayed
by women in some other countries. In
England, for instance intelligent
women are intensely interested in
their government and i'm everything
that concerns the national politics.
Except in the heated months that
with us precede a presidential cleo
ticn, women know little and care less
about the machinery of state and ma
uonal politics, taking merely a per-
fuctory interest in legislative bodies,
and holding themselves aloof from
matters discussed therein.
It is not uncommon to meet a wO-
man Of more than ordinary culture who
does not happen to know who Is the
governor of her state, and who is the
representative at the state capitol of
her home district. She is aware that
there is somebody who represents her
section in the senate and assembly,
but she has never taken the trouble to
acquaint herself with his name. AS
for knowing what the preponderance
of sentiment in the legislative bodies
nearest her may be, she is profoundly
ignorant and altogether Indifferent.
In party politics she is apt with
very languid enthusiasm to endorse
the views of the men of her family.
Should she visit Washington part of a
morning WOulu De spent III Watching
the very disorderly proceedings in the
house or the more dignified demeanor
usual in the senate chamber. But this
would be to her simply a portion of
the show, and unless she had per-
sOnal reason for talking with her con-
gresham, she would not even recog-
nize him on the avenue.
Public spirit is at a low ebb i'm the
4 great majority of women in this
broad land, so far as its manifestation
y has to do with the ballot box and
what the ballot box stands for. Our
sons are the losers here: they grow
up without due appreciation of their
privileges, as voters, and with dis
dain for politics that is a poor omen
for the future. Unless wives and
mothers are patriotic from principle,
they viii not infuse patriotism into
the current Of home life.
Women are not, however, altogether
deficient i'm public spirit. as II in

philosophy are entirely wrong, moral

tropical countries according to the
methods employed by some of the mon

expenditure: if we were to attempt to

the accuracy with which the eclipse
was predicted impressed him with the

to Tycho Brahe, not only for his own
