Nicholas Murray Butler, President
Of Columbia University, and by many
recognized as the biseest-brained
man In the country has earned the
everlasting gratitude Of the newspa-
per fraternity by stating in an ad-
dress before the N. e. A. delegates
that "much which passes for culture
and refinement, is nothing more or
less than mere affectation." "Edu-
Gated people," he said, mo longer
retire. they go to bed. Human beings
are equipped with legs, not limbs "
The relief experienced by all "pen-
ell pushers" at this avowal on the
part Of SO great authority will be
shared by all lovers Of pure and un-
aduItcrated simplicity In purveyins
thought. For instance, when a playful
bolt Of lighting strikes a Iady's gar
ter, as happened some time ago, we
will not be obliged In describing the
occurrence to confound the lower part
Of the female anatomy with an ap.
pendase Of the knotty, scrasgy oak,
underneath which she sat when the
catastrophe took place. Again when
we are shown to our eight by four
room, In the tenth story Of the cheap
lodging house, at which we are fore
ed to stop when visiting the state
metropolis we need not offend our
overwhelming sense Of the eternal
fitness Of things by using term sug.

are simply and reluctantly "going to
bed" Again, Nicholas, for this re-
lease from the absurdlty Of modern
conventIonallty we express our

Educated Idiots.

OF all the half-baked, imbecilic ex-
pressions the long-haired savants of
Chicago educational Institutions have
given birth to the past year or so,
the statement made day or two
ago that women always were, are
now and probably will remain ex-
travagant, socially ambitious, unscru-
puIous and generally responsible for
large part of the evils of life," by
Professor Herbert L. Willett of the
University of Chicago divinity school,
is perhaps the most indicative of the
lengths to which these sanctimonious
hypocrites will go in their quest for
notoriety.
With the thought in mind of that
great level of women who make the
home life of this country what it is,
one instinctiyely wonders, after read
ing this man Willett's cant, into what
decent society he has tried to force
an entire and how many self-respect.
ing women have refused to listen to
his rot, these being the usual in.
spirations for the old women of both
sexes to break into print with some
such insult to womanhood as has
just emanated from this disgruntled
Chicago coyote. Weekly
