The College Woman.

The most advanced feminine ~
formers should be highly gratifed
with the progress now being made by
the young college woman described by
President q. Stanley Hall Of Clark
university. As for President Hall
himself, he does not seem overjoyed
when he views the modern college wo-
man. In an article in Appleton's Mag
azine he says
Her triumph over the old limitations OF
her sex Ii 50 complete that q young man

heart and hand to one OF them hesitated
and finally withdrew from the high, chiv-
alrie motive that he would rob the large

The independent. self suGicing

and sometimes positively inspiring"
Is the ideal product which President
Hall would have Of colleges oficered
by women, now. alas, too subject to
"A denatured intellectual regimen"
He criticises presidents Of various
colleges for women for extolling the
graduate who becomes a boarding
school principal or the head OF a school
for native girls In upper Egypt or one
who. while not excluding the episode
II homemaking, evolves a plan Of life
with an ultimate aim somewhere In
the intellectual and spiritual spheres.
None Of the spinster presidents speaks
OF the promotion Of health as imp0r-
thnt to college education, while DR..
Hall submits that this should be para
mount, in the interest OF the young
woman's bodily. nervous, mental and
emotional makeup. Instead the 'uni-
versitlzing" professorllng feeds her on
the pathological husks Of English lit
erature; yokes her. In rhetoric. to the
trinity Of purity, precision and pro-
prIety; anatomizes her Latin, German
and French: dehumanizes her physics
and in general strangles the spirit that
lives with the letter that kills.
Sometimes, no admits, the college
young woman survives the denamrlng
process, still buoyant and unfaded.
and 1t Is reassuFlng to learn that. after

The Lynchlng spirit.


All lovers Of law and order win ap-
pland the determined efforts being
made by Governor Deneen OF Illinois
to punish the Springfield iynchers. In
nocent and guilty alike suffer the mo-
ment mob rule is established, as the
Springfield fatalities show. Lynchlng
brutaIizes those who participate in IL
and leads men to look elsewhere than
to the law for the redress Of their
wrongs. Men. earnest. but mlsled. who
seek to visit swift justice upon some
particularly helnous offender are Joined
by scores OF criminals. who take ad.
vantage Of the confusion and the re-
moval of customary safeguards OF the
peace to rob. murder and burn. Law
and order are replaced by chaos.
Any sheriff or other officer who does
his duty, protects his prisoner. foIls a
band Of would be lynchers and up,
holds the majesty Of the law deserves
the thanks Of his community while he
lives and a niche In the Hall Of Fame
when he dies. The trouble with too
many officers Entrusted with the Gus
tody OF criminals is that they either
lack the courage or the disposition to
defend their prisoners when the lynch
ers are demanding admIttance. Three
or four well armed men backed by
the law have accomplished much at
times when they made 1t plainly mani
fest to the mob that they would do
their duty or die.
All laws are not good, but while
they are In force they should receive
the support Of the community II
they are wrong they should be prompt
ly repealed. Beyond a doubt bad laws
and a dllatory, ineffective enforcement
Of good laws encourage the growth OF
the lynching spirit. New Jersey gives
every criminal a fair trial. but she
deals SO speedily with his case that
Jersey justice" has become a charac-
terizatlOn fraught with grim meaning
for the criminal classes.
Nearly every public man this coun-
try has produced has at one time or
another gone on record as being bitter
ly opposed to the so called court of
Judge Lynch. Benjamin Harrison
once said. "A lynching is a usurpation,
dethronement OF our constitutional
king, the law, and the browning OF a
cruel and unbridled tyrant."

synonym for all that is obnoxious TO

are ready to snatch at any prospect of
amusement, no matter how absurd or
depraved. that will serve to release
them from a moment OF boredom.
At last an energetic apologlst for
the maligned Newporter has risen In
the well groomed person Of Mr.. Gou-
verneur Morris, whose very name
should carry conviction, even though
his pen fail to do the trick. He comes
to the defense of the rich leisure class
with a vim that must excite the won
der and admiration of the most languid
cliff dweller. What are the facts? he
demands. Instead Of waiting for
some one to answer he does It him.

declares. that the rich leisure class
contains perhaps as large a percentage
of honest fathers, good mothers and
well brought up children as the poor
working class; that in this respect 1t
compares favorably even with the
poor leisure class"
Then Mr. Gouverneur Morris makes
a statement which must have required
all the courage he could summon TO
his aid. Hear him: snow, II there is
one thing that the American people

view not merely inferior but immoral
characters"
Is 1t possible that Mr.. Morris has
made an original discovery?

The Dutch aud Castro.

That the Dutch are slow to engage
in quarrel Is made evident in the
present disagreement which threatens
to send the pick among Queen VIII
helminR's plucky little navy to Ven
ezuelan waters. For the past two
months President Castro has forbid
den all communication between the
Dutch West Indies and his republic.
This has caused great hardship to Gu

with nelghboring ports. The lower
classes In that city and In Dutch CUT

restitution. Industries of every de-
scrlption are practically at a stand
still. for the raw material is wanting.
and nothing can be done. President

to be trying to starye the colonists

der the most trivial pretext the auto

The Awalkening Of CHINA.

According to Minister W. the Chi.
nese emperor's able representative in
Washington. the Celestial Kingdom Is
In dead earnest today In it's efforts to
deserve and maintain its place among
the worlds powers. The old regime
has passed, and progress Is in the sad
die. Twenty-Five years ago Minister
WI was himself student of western
Institutions. He described his troubles
in recent speech to 1876 Chinese boys
now being educated in an American
school:
When l began learning the English
language competent teachers were not
easily obtainable. Western learning was
despised. and those who wished to study
1t had to do It privately. Foreign edu-
Gated Chinese were sighted and looked
down upon. They were considered almost
barbarians and traitors. In cases of ne
cessity when their services were required
they were principally employed as trans
lators or interpreters. They were not in
trusted with responsible functions or APP
pointed to important posts in the govern
ment service. II Is a well known fact
that upon the return Of the 100 govern
ment students to China in 1881 they were
not properly or fairly treated
But times have happily changed and
the conditions are at present different.
Western science and knowledge are eager
~ sought after now. What was despised
! before is now appreciated. Schools and
colleges for western sciences are being
established everywhere and students are
sent abroad; hence you are here.
The general cry in China today is
for reforms and for competent men to
carry them out The reforms demand
ed are social and professional as well
as political China's eyes have been
opened by the wonderful success of
the Japanese in mastering the methods
in trade, diplomacy and war of the
white race. Her farsighted men
know that she must learn western
ways, and learn them rapidly. or she
will perish as a nation. In referring
to the proposed Chinese American al.
lance Minister WI. pointing to the
Chinese students, said:
The cordial way In which these young
men are received everywhere is crafty
ing as showing how kindly the American
people feel toward those of China Later
these young men VIII go home and go to
work. every one a friend OF America
This, you see. is something OF an alliance
