National DiScreditS.

Germany. Great Britain, Austria
Hungary, Denmark, Spain, France,
Italy, tbs Netherlands, Russia,
Sweden, Portugal, and Siam pay
their diplomatic Representatives at
more than one capital higher sal
aries than the richest nation of the
earth. The United States, with all
its wealth, must divide the cost Of
its legations with men of large for
tune or be improperly represented.
This situation viii appeal TO the
typical American as bad enough.
But il involves a cOncomm!tant evil
which is worse. 1t makes impos-
sible any reasonable system of pro-
motions in the diplomatic corps and
so cripples the Government in its
effort 10 develop trained servants 10
care for American diplomatic inter
ests abroad. Furthermore, the rich
est nation of the earth pays its con
sular Representatives SO little that
its Secretary of State finds it almost
impossible 10 get Americans TO serve
and quite impossible to establish a
business-like system of promotions.
Bills for the correction of these
Ameri an discredits now pend in
Congress. Either they or some cor
responding legislation should pass
this session without fail.

His constituency numbered eos. 40 souls

explain that Mr.. Lilley is Congressman

BAR JAP COOLIES!
COAST STILL CRIES

A new treaty with Japan that will
permit exclusion Of the japanese coolies
is still insistently demanded by the Pa
cific Coast members OF Congress. They
do not propose TO allow agitation OF the
question TO die out WITHOUT getting some
thing accomplished that looks toward a
permanent settlement OF the troubles
with the Japanese.
Senator Gearin has given notice he Will
call up his resolution next Monday II
urges the President TO enter on negotia-
tons with the Japanese government for
a modification of the existing treaty, the
object being 10 permit exclusion. II IS
not improbable his remarks viii lead 10

Educational" Plays.

Miss Annie Russell, a refined and
graceful actress and a woman of
social and mental charms, desires, it
appears, TO devote herself, so far
as her powers and opportunities per-
nit, 10 the promotion of better
standards for the American stage.
What she wishes to work for is
higher class and better plays, edu-
Gated and trained actors, and for
the educational features of the
stage TO become of far more i'm
portance than scenic and box-office
features"
That is laudable, and no one who
has any regard for the stage as it
exists in this country today could
find il in his heart to offer any OBJ
stacles 10 Miss Russell's crusade, if
il shall reach that dignity and i'm
portance. What she wants is clear
enough: plays of artistic worth per-
formed by actors of ability and
some culture. 'Twere a consumma-
ton devoutly 10 be wished up 10 a
certain point; beyond it must lie the
land of foolery or we should all lose
the faculty of unbending.
But what are educational feat
ures of Che stage" and do we not
have them now? Are they not Plen-
tiful enough today-too plentiful TO
draw large audiences, all of them?

itself does not always mean series
of lessons. As some one has wisely

Athletic Wives.

The discussion as TO what sort OF
girls make the best wives goes mer-
rily on, as irrepressible as debate on
race suicide OF the negro problem.
AT the recent annual convention Of
the American Physical Education
Association in Springfield, Mass, for
instance. one Of the speakers, Miss
Mary w Butler, of the State Nor
NAL school al Cortland. \. Y, told
the gathering some things about the
athletic girl that made il sit up and
listen attentively. This was her
summing up:
"she may be good fun on the ield
and Jolly company now and then, but
as a steady diet even the boys weary
OF her. for man loves womanly
woman above all things. The athletic
girl is not apt 10 be the tendereSt. the
most thoughtful OF daughters. nor the
most handy and helpful OF little women
about the house She Is not the friend
who Is helpful in sickness, nor Is she
apt 10 make an unselnsh Vile, good
h0usekeepeF and a tender mother, Tor
all her capabilities have run IN another
direction"
An of which we must respectfully
believe is bosh The fine, hearty,
radiant girl OF the outdoors may
not, indeed, be 'the most helpful of
little women about the house" but
there is no evidence that when she
marries she will not be as noble and
affectionate a wife as the fluffy
thing who faints at the sight of a
mouse. Her athletic games have not
made for seltishness; they have
taught her. on the other hand, gen
erosity, truth, and honor. She may
not cringe before that wonderful
animal, man. but she viii take nc
mean advantage of him. She will
love him none the less because she
knows more about basketball than
he does. Nor is the modern hus'
band excessively grieved if his wife
does not enact the role of the Il ndeI
vine clinging perpetuany around the
oak Of his manly form.
