Senator Foraker expressed a great
truth when he said in his reply to his
critics that if every man who has any
relation to the Standard Oil Company
is to be driven out of public life |

company" By the way, wonder if the
Standard has its representatives in
public life in Georgia?

Wants to watch the presidential

Over fashion items muses.,

ARE WOMEN SLAVES!

An Ohio Professor Says They Are
In the May OUTLOOK Raymond
V. Phelan, Professor of Economics
and SocioloS0 at Miami University,
makes ~ Piel for Unconscious
Slaves for which woman suff agists
cannot but be profoundly grateful. &
Among the strong things which
he says are the following:
81 seriously question the right
of Withholding the ballot from wom-
en-, even if a large majority of
the n shrink from a55um :ng polit-
icel and civil responsibilities. To
my mind those who thus shrink
afford thereby but evidence cf their
physiological enthralldom. AS
class women have not yet awaken
ed to the fact that they are really
free, or can be free, that they have
in themselves the possibility of as
much independent existence as the
other sex enjoys. Now is it right
to Withhold from the thoroughly
emancipated women the right to
goveIn herself simply because her
backward sisters, even though they
may be in the majority, shrink
from exercising the political pre-
ogatives that of a right belong to
the new womanhood? Shall we
deny the enlightened intelligent
woman who wants to govern her.
self, the right that in the United
States is granted to the ignorant
foreigner and the lowly merge?
Some women having risen to the full
stature of the new free woman
hood. demand the ballot. They
should have it. The English, the
American woman, the woman in
every enlightened country in this
advanced twentieth century has
much moral right to vote as a
man; and England and the Unied
States will continue to be democ-
racies but in name as long as their
women are denied equal political
rights with men. pl4F

The Psyche Knot Is Back Again

The Psyche knot, SO becoming o
certain features, is aga n to the fore,
saws the NEW IDEA WoMAM's MAGA-
ZINE for August. The hair is parted,
and the long hairs on the crown OF
the head are tied firmly with a soft
string. A braid may here be added to
form the Psyche knot, if the hair is
thin. The rest of the hair may be
frise or adjusted over an inexpensive
cushion.
Soft ribbon to match the gown can
be wound about the Psyche knot, and
can be, for specia! occasions, mingled
with delicate leaves and flowers. The
Psyche knot takes kindly to orna-
men tation, yet none of its classic
beauty is lost by the addition OF rib
bons or of comb of flowers.
An extremely pretty fashion of the
late summer, which Dame Fashion
has decided shall extend over to the
autumn and even into the winter, is
to surround the knot of this mode
of couture with snood of ribbon. A
soft silk one is effective, especially so
when the general tone of the custume
is carried out in its color A velvet
ribbon of narrow width may also be
used, but the fabric must be of a cru
shable, pliable quality. to lie closely
against the hair. This form of garni-
ture is wound in d graceful way about
the Psyche knot and tied in bow.

Religious and
Reform Notes
Triumph ola Christian Nation.

The ragged Continentals" who
won our independence carried the
Bible in their knapsacks. The
most impressive picture of the Rev
oIution. was Washington on his
knees at VALLEY Forge. His first
act when victory came was to give
thanks to tn Supreme Being. Ev-
cry session of the convention that
framed the constitution was opened
with prayer. And so it was nat
ural that in the very infancy of the
Republic, hundred years ago to-
day, to give to the poor of every
tongue and faith that holy Book,
whose words were woven into the
very warp and wool of our nation
atty.
Jesus started the highest rev.
olution of all times. 1t has not en-
ded; it never will end-never can
end. For it is not enough that ma
tions formally shall adopt the faith
of the Crucifed One; it is not
enough that the world nominally
shall become Christian; it will be
enough only when every human be-
ing in the sanctuary of his soul
shall acknowledge and in his daily
life shall practise every teaching
| of the Nazarene.
We say today, when some truth
in politics is uttered and for a
while defeated, that it is vain
and that those who fight for 1t
have lost the battle. This short
and narrow judgment discourages
more men who are fighting for
the right than any other thing.
We are too apt to say when we do
not see the fruits of our work grow
and ripen beneath our hands that
our labor is useless.
| Let the revolution started by the
Carpenters Son be our reinsurance
and our inspiration. When Jesus
went to the humblest and poorest
with his absolute idealism, he made
his appeal to those who would &C.
cept it most easily-fght for ii
most unyieldingIy. The so-called
better classes want conditions to re-
main as they are; the so-called low
err classes dream of brighter days,
of higher things, of a sweeter life.
They do this because they have none
of these things in their ownlive

we people have learned to love him

About one of the most disgusting
things to the real informed, is to
see someone whose life does not
speak for a declaration in that
line, abroad sp3uting his or her
opinion of the fundamentals of
Christianity when too, such a one
hasn't possibly brushed the dust off
his or her Bible(if they own one)
in months, and probably ha; never
peeped inside of a theological
work. They usually do not even
merit the title of originality, for
their outbursts are but the echoes

opinion upon whom they are lean
