The LONE WOMAN TRAVELLER

THE LONE WOMAN TRAVELLER
One OF the we'll known magazine
writer's is endeavoring these days
to set forth In u monthly publication
the trials and trlDulat:ons OF the
woman who Is compelled to travel
alone. The narrative Is interest.
Ing, even II the skeptical allow
grain OF salt here and there. Her
heroine starts on horseback from
her mountain home IN the far West
She is treated courteously and re.
spectfully by the rough miners and
woodsmcn and cowboys, she meets
on her way to the stage station.
Her experience on the stage coach
is the same and everything Is lovely
Till she approaches that wicked city,
Chicago. Then her troubles begin.
From Chicago to New York the
masher Is very much In evidence.
She must be stunning creature,
because her story tells us that sho
was the victim of inuendo and pos.
Tive insult by various horrld male
creatures.
The writer then lays down the
rule, that In the United States, n
woman who Is travelling alone Is
cafe from Insult I'm the rural district
and small country towns both East
and West, but the great danger is
In the larger citles-and the greater
the city, the greater The danger.
New York, the largest city, is the
worst place OF all, Sic AYERS.
Perhaps there is some truth in
tho statements and conclusions of
the author. but on the whole 1t Is
safe to believe that the great ma
jorIty OF American men have not vet
reached the stage where they will
force their attentions upon lone
woman unless there Is some reason
for 1t. There rs. no doubt, too many
50 called men who are ever ready
to try to make an impression upon
an attractive woman, but they are
exceptions. A green and unsophis.
ticated girl Is liable to get into
trouble anywhere. Men and women
are daily the victims OF crimes In
all sections OF the country, but that
does not necessarily mean that thcy
are liable to insult from all sides.
There Is no doubt that tho number
OF cases of insult Is gratifyingly
small compared with the number
who are exposed to It.

FRANCE AND THE CHURCH.

# France has been greatly aroused
by the order of the Pope which he
addressed to the clergy OF France,
but there Is nothing In It to which
the world at large can object. Tho
unfortunate feature of the trouble
now prevailing In Franco is that
there are thousands Of Roman Cath.
,olics In France who read In the
Pope's encyclical what he did NOT
sput there. The dispatches from
Paris state that tho militant Catho.
lies seemingly welcome the prospects
of violence, which VIII compel the
closing OF the the churches. Tint
Is n fact that Is deplorable. . There
may be passive resistance by the
priesthood and officers of the church,
there cannot be passive resistance
by the hotheads who are joyous over
to action OF the government.
ia 1t requires no argument to prove
tat the government Of France has
gone to extrayagant lengths upon Its
attacks on the Church of Rome. Tho
people In America cannot possibly
comprehend the inspiration for such
an attack. Tho point of supreme
Importance in the present crisis Is
that the Vatican appears to set at
naught the wishes of the people
rs expressed in the various elcc
tons which have been held since
Waldeck-Rousseau first announced
his law OF associations. From that
day the policy of antagonlsm to.
wards the churchill 1t can bc called

of every government programme,
and year after year the Parllamen,
has been filled with men who have
given their support to this cam.
