NOT ON SAVAGE PLANE.
Mrs. Judge Resents Professor
ThOmaS's Idea of Her Ser.

Mrs John H. Judge president OF the Society
for Political Study. thinks it a great pity that
Professor w. l. Thomas. OF the University Of
Chicago, should have had the misfortune 10 be
born Of a woman, creature who. according to
his own opinion. recently published in the
American Journal of Sociology is on a plane
with the savage.
Il am at a loss TO see," said Mrs Judge. adj
dressing the society at its regular meeting in
Genealogical Hall yesterday, how the accident
Of sex should make such a difference between
two persons born of the same mother-why one
should be a savage and the other Professor
Thomas. for instance. 1 think we have been IN
the habit OF assuming that differences exist nat
urally. when In reality we have made them
ourselves We make too great difference be-
tween the education OF the boy and the girl
They should be educated side by side"
Mrs. Judge attempted to explain the ungallant
theories OF Professor Thomas by supposing that
men have formed habit Of esteeming women
slightly.
1T has always been my experience" she said
that women esteem men much more highly
than men do women. They respect and love
them more. and pay them greater attention
than they receive in return. There are few
women who do not admire good men I do nv
self, for my household is composed entirely Of
men: But there are many men who do not
why this is. Possibly IL is a mere matter of
habit"
Some Of the women put in a word of defence

notced any lack OF affection and esteem among
the masculine members Of their families

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS

NO RELIEF FOR NAVY OFFICERS.-Navy Of
icers duty IN Washington have given up hope
OF navy personnel legislation at this session. The
sentiment in Congress Is against IT, they believe.
largely for the reason that the campaign In behalf
OF the departmental measure has been too vigor-
ousy conducted. The extreme urgency of getting
remedial legislation for the service has led to a
series of mistakes. beginning with the failure to
have the stan corps and the marine repre-
sented on the board which made recommendations
for the relief OF the personnel Later the detail of
the sub-boardS was followed. TO time. by ig-
nortng the suggestions from those sources. Since
then the line officers who had charge of the bill In
Washington have sought TO compel staff officers TO
refrain from crittcising the bill, while they have
had Representatives and Senators deluged with let
ters asking that the measure be passed Mr.. Hale $
resolution asking for Investigation of the at
tempt to influence the legislation was the result of
the receipt OF such appeals. many OF them from
people who could have no possible interest in naval
affairs. This combination Of circumstances will
undoubtedly operate to defeat the badly needed leg
isaton.
