WOMEN AT JOHNS HOPKINS.
Their Admission There Marks Long
step Of Progress.
From the Baltimore sua

z rom we Haltlllilr 1ltl
The decision Of the trustees Of the
Johns Hopkins University TO admit wom-
en- ta graduate courses Of study. max
ing Them eligible for the degree OF doctor
of philosophy. marks a long step Of
progress in the world Of higher educa-
tl0n toward the frank recognition OF men,
TAI capacity without regard 10 sex. The
Ho-kins Medical School has for years
beer giving its degree Of doctor OF nedi-
cine to women on the completion Of
studies hardly less exacting than those
required OF n doctor Of philosophy II
no valid objection exists for forbidding
women access To the studies and classes
Of tie medical department none, GER

As long ago as 1893. in fact. the uniyer-

gree of doctor Of philosophy TO a woman

Ga geology. Nothing but custom ana
prejudice. indeed, could stand in the way
of admitting mature women Of discreet
years to graduate studies. Several ladies
have pursued special courses in the
graduate department without difficulty Of
any kind. and without inconvenience for
lheir Instructors OF male fellowstudents.
AT time Ike the present. when in al
most every line Of business and in every
kind of employment women are found
associated with men. il would be absurd
to assume that they would be out Of place
in association with men at our higher
seats of learning.
In view of the actual facts Of our pres
ent social evolution, the step taken by
the Hopkins, in advance of other institu-
tions OF like grade. is. therefore. not only
not premature. but may be said TO be be

SONG Georgia suggestions.

The esteemed Atlanta Constitution and
the equally esteemed Atlanta Georgian
are inuulging in some highly interesting
suggesting and cOunter-suggesun these
days. The Georgian demands that Mr.
Bryan arise in the next Democratic con-
venti0n and nominate Mr.. Roosevelt for
President. The Constitution comes back
at this and demands that Mr.. Roosevelt
arise IN the next Republican convention
and nominate hir. Bryan,

A sad Case.

From the New York World.
These are black and bitter days for our
friend. Col. George Harvey. editor of Har-
per's Weekly. At times Col. Harvey suf-
fers from the halluclnation that he is a
railroad rate. and that Mr.. Roosevelt is
about TO regulate him. At other times ne
thinks ne is the Standard oil Company and
that Federal jury has convicted him on
500 separate counts. When free from
either Of these delusions he believes that
he is a Chicago and Alton reorganization
which the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion is about 20 investigate. or else that
he is a brother of Mr. Roosevelt's spear
and has been disowned. According to
other ramors. Col Harvey Is sometimes
convinced that he Is national prosperity
and that the administration is interfering
with him. But at all events it is a very
sad case.

we might as well strike from the head
Of Democracy the name of Thomas Jeffer-
son." Mr.. Culberson concludes, If govern
ment ownership Is to become q part Of the
Democratic creed.
Imperialism and Capitalization Mr.. Cul-
berson thinks the two most alarming
and threatening tendencies Of the time.
The present radical trend of the Repub-
lican party he does not regard as likely
to be permanent. his belief being that
with the retirement OF President Roose-
welt from Office the leadership Of his
party will pass to another and the party
itself Will revert to it's natural position
as a friend of the corporations. an apoio-
gist for trusts. and leave the Democratic
party the only antagonist of special in
terests and the only advocate of popular
rights" His opinion OF Mr.. Roosevelt is
that he is a "Federalist Of the most dan
gerous character.
We get the impression from reading
Senator Culberson's address that the chief
issue in the Presidential campaign, should
President Roosevelt be ren0minated, as
the Texas Senator thinks probable, would
be Roosevelt himself, for none OF the
really important acts of his administra-
ton furnishes good material for Demo
cratic attack. and Democratic criticism
mainly centers about HIS personality and
the theories he is believed 10 entertain re-
specting the scope and purpose OF the
Federal government and the supposed
danger of giving him further opportunity
10 put them into practice. But would
such criticism prove effective enough 10
undermine the confidence the American
people at present appear to have in Theo-
dore Roosevelt?

History of Jerry simpson.

that a biography OF Jerry Simpson, prop

OF exponents Of that peculiar and fren~
