SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

Louisville Carrier journal: "PraEmatic
pantheism" is prescribed as a new religion
by someone who is not on the staff Of the
University Of Chicago.
Washington Herald: A Massachusetts,
minister advocates Sunday base ball and
an Alabama minister wants to make IL

sidcred to have the Southern conscience
beat a thousand miles for narrowness.

Senator Stone and the negro waiter. the
negro was the gentleman. The mail Of
the Rev. Madison c. Peters will now, for
some days. be attuned to harmonic with
summer weather.
New York Post: Ex-President Eliot is
not afraid to grapple with the inaccuracy
Of Journalism, the hasty interpretations OF
the clergy. and the general Of
human nature. He patiently meets the
criticism of his New Religion in a let
ter to An Indianapolis attorney with the
following simple statement OF faith: Il
venture to add that l am not at the hold
Of any proud world whatever; second,
that such little part Of the world as l
am best acquainted with loves the '1owly
Nazarene' and does not hate Him; third,
that 1 have met during my life most OF
the sorrows which are accounted heaviest;
fourth, that Jesus will be in the religion
Of the future not less, but more than in
the Christianity Of the past" In these
few words there is large photographed
suggestion. DR.. EliOt's way Of replying to
criticism is both lofty and wise. The wis
dom of It is shown by the fact that sven
rash criticism and careless interpretation
not only do no harm, when met in a con-
slant spirit of patience, but even do good,

crossed in spite of him. There have
been more accomplished actors than
Booth and plays more charged with
profound truth than any that appeared
in a modern play thirty years ago.
But what Winter is not is of less
consequence than what he is. He is
the best Informed American on the
history of the stage, the most musical
and fascinating writer who devotes
himself to that topic, an exponent Of
the dignity and grace which every
high-bred man should exhibit when
he writes. William Winter is a poet
in verse and prose who formed a
style in a school of fine literary ira
ditions. If he has enemies they are
stupid IL they do not hope for him

william Winters Place in Letters.

William Winters Place in Letters.
When William Winter departed a
few days ago from the service of the
New York Tribune, all of the people
who have a thought for the stage
knew that an extraordinary event had
happened. 1t was more than a change
on the desk where an old man
worked. 1t was more than the loss
standard newspaper. 1t was the pass
ing of an epoch. 1t was the farewell
of a master craftsman to his public,
the disappearance of a venerable
priest from the view of a thousand
disciples who realize that there can
be 40 successor. He had lived and
wrought beyond his time. The world
Of the drama and the world of the
men and women who go to see the
drama had changed. A generation
had grown up who had never seen
Edwin Booth and had barely caught a
glimpse of Joseph Jefferson. James
X. Hackett's father was of the Win
ter period more than is ]. K. Hackett,
now of middle age, is himself.
If one speaks Of Winter as of a
celebrity who has passed out of the
world, 1t is essentially the fact. At
a certain place he won his right to
speak. Men have learned his note
there. All who wished to heal had
learned where to go. In the usual
habit of things and people they will
not or cannot learn another. The har-
monious course for a man of 70 is
not TO strive at a new task In new
surroundings, but to set down in his
musical and m~atchless prose his mem
cries of the wonderful procession of
the gifted who have passed before
him in forty-four years. There is
nowhere else such a procession of
personal intimacies and even this mir
acle of a mind cannot retain much
longer its tenacity of memory nor this
capacious command of words It's del
icacy of perception.

letters in the highest esteem, It il

Higher Education of Women.

For whom the phrases are intended,
for what group, what cult, what Pc
riod of years, is not divulged, but a
preacher is heralded as coming from
st. Louis to Omaha with the message,
Its a farce, this highly educated,
~screeching, childless and husbandless
sisterhood," Without certified knowl-
edge on the subject. of which he has
had hints before, the common man Of
the workaday world will from his
casual experience incline to the belief
that this is a Mrs. Harris and that
there amt no such person.
Women, like men, always did have
something to talk about, Those who
attend such institutions as women's
colleges seem to have rather fewer
subjects han the ordinary female per-
son who is not SO particular as to
what she talks about. Whatever
higher education is or does of itself,
the places where it is administered to
modern young m are in charge of
cultivated, restrained, modulated per-
sons whose influence and counsel are
in the direction of a gentlewoman's
part in life. AS a woman's social
character and are the most
anybody knows about her. men will
vote for the highly educated woman in
question.
The practically educated young
woman began to appear as a type in
the west. 1t 1ourished early in Ne
braska and Kansas, At this time we
can decide what we think of the va
riety. The unhesitating opinion is
that the western woman of education
has maintained an extraordinarily
high rank, not only in mental Guilt
walton, but as wife and mother and
as a participant in the social life of
her communities, In the east Vassar,
Wellesley, Smith and Bryn MawT have
a creditable product, The animal de-
scribed in the quoted phrase above
never shows itself as a class. Higher
education for women suits the world
or the world would not spend 30 much
money on 1t. Few men ever COM

THE GOLDEN ROD.
baltimore American.

hblAAillOlu <AlhN Ahi
Off in the fields Of ripening grain,
Which the touch of the sun makes gold
again;
Off with the daisies nodding white,
With their yellow hearts and their blooms
of light,
Far away from the dust and glare,
From the steam's sharp hiss and the fac
tory blare,
Where in quiet peace the rich plants nod.
There shine the glories of golden rod.
They line the road with their scepter
blooms,
With the bright, keen gold of their waving
plumes,
They bunch in beauty through long green
fields
Whose .verdure a background of softness
yields;
They stretch away in a golden lane,
For an artists eye to travel again
And yet again. In its gorgeous mass,
With Its lights and shades as the sun
beams pass.
AS it blooms once more, what a thought it
brings
OF the lover more happy than crowned
kings,
Who passed with his sweetheart along the
way,
With nature and natures Jewels gay,
And looked upon her rich ripe hair,
Her violet eyes, and her bushes rare,
And felt that Eden's path they trod
AS they plucked together the golden rod.

Partnership by Taxation.

The corporation tax embodied in the
new tariff bill provides for a levy Of
l per cent on the net earnings of all
corporations in excess of $4,000. If
the net earnings were all distributed
as dividends, and the $4,000 ex-
emption were abolisheds these taxes
would in substance make Uncle Sam
a partner in every corporation with a
holding equal to one share in every
one hundred. If the excess earnings
from dividends should exceed the
$4,000 exemption Uncle Sam would be
a partner to the extent of more than
one share in one hundred, while If
they fall below the $4,000 exemption
his share would be something less
than that of the holder of one share
out Of a hundred. If there were no
net earnings Uncle Sam would get no
dividends n more than would any
other shareholder.
over in Chicago the passenger on a
street car is confronted with a sign
which reads, The city gets 81 per
cent" On closer inquiry he learns
that the 81 per cent is 81 per cen Of
the net earnings after certain deduc-
tions and allowances. The arrange
ment which Chicago has with it's
street railway system is in effect a tax
of 81 per cent on the net profits.
1t goes without saying that the net
profits depend largely on the charac-
business and the cost of carrying it
on. In the recent controversy over
the demand of the men for an in
creased wage schedule it was figured
that the concessions made to en-
ployes would noun to $1,000, 900 in
the three and a half years which the
contract was to cover Accepting
these estimates, and assuming that
other items remain stationary, the
payment of an additional 100000
to the employees would mean hat q
little more than 100000 of it would
come out of the city's share. With
out arguing Tor or against the de
mands of the employees of Chicago's
street railway, or the business Of the
agreement, we may point out hat the
net earnings tax gives the public a
direct interest in the conduct of the
corporation which 1t would not have
from a gross earnings tax, In the Chi
cage case this interest was recognized.
and the city had a representative on
the arbitration board. but the conces,
sions were doubtless granted with less
determined resistance because the city
would foot half the bill.
That the government assumes part,
nership relations when it levies a net
earnings tax may be regarded by some
as a strong point of that form of taxa.

Country Preachers.

AT Amherst the Massachusetts, Az
ricultural college has been conduct
ing a summer school for country
preachers. The object is to give
variety to the mental life of the min
listers by cultural lectures on farm
Ing as well as on sociological and
other suitable subjects. That forty
four men registered this year is evil
dence that the visitors gained as much
from companionship and interchange
OF views as from the lectures. The
testimony of the attending preachers
is that an unexpected pleasure and
gain were the results. It is predicted
that next year the number will be
doubled.
Lectures were supplemented with
Held trips n visits to the buildings
where demonstration is given in dairy
Ing cattle feeding and greenhouse
work. Some of the lecture topics
were Church Federation" THE Min
%ister's Use of Books" "The Church
In Community Life" and SO forth.
