The Christian AdbOcafe.

Our neighbour above named, closes an ed-
torial by saying that "Mr. Watson's criticisms
too ignorant to- be weighty.' OF course,
neighbor is referring to foreign missions,
"a subject upon which the denominational
papers show a queer tendency to be thin
skinned and hot tempered.
Now, let us all preserve our equanimty,
good humor and good manners. 1t isn't alto
gether the best form to accuse opponent
of dense ignorance and stupidity, though
we sincerely believe him to be both ignorant
and stupid.

Neghbor, do you imagine that Mr.. Watson
would seriously discuss any subject which he
had not investigated? Our readers know bet
ter. We venture to say that we have read
a greater number of books pamphlets ETC.. in
favor of the foreign mission system, than the
editor of the Advocate himself has perused.
We have not relied upon a single criticism of
our present method of spending the cney.
Our arguments against the unscriptr:, and
unnatural use of foreign mission funds are
based upon revelations contained in books and
pamphlets published in support and advocacy
of the system.
The Advocate makes this statement: The
manner of spending these funds is closely
scrutinized. Virtually no part of them goes
for food and clothes"
This sentence, written in the innocence OF
the Editors heart. proves that he should spend

G0Od TO the Railroads.

Uncle Sam deals most indulgently with
those pets, the railroads. For instance, it paid
fifty-l1ine thousand dollars per year for the
use of four cars which, according to Postmas-
terGeneral Villas, could have been built and
equipped in the best modern style for $780,
The $4,000 was paid for the annual rent of
the cars. In addition to this, the Govern
ment allowed the railroad full-weight pay for
the carrying of the mail, and this came to
$5o4,573
During the year mentioned in the Villas re-
port, we were paying the railroads two million
dollars for the rent of cars. Mr.. Villas declared
that an equal number of mail cars, of the same
kind, could be bought and kept in good order
for ST., 846,24o
Thus you see that we were paying every
year as rent larger sum than the cars were
worth
Congress refused to make any change. The
Villas report was made in 1887. The whole
country has long known these scandalous
facts. But we still continue to pay the roads
yearly rental for the use of fimsy wooden
coaches, a greater sum than would buy them
outright.
Whenever there is smash-up on the rail
road, the fragile mail coach, which is near
the engine, is the first to go to wreck and ruin,
manning and killing the clerks
The Government ought to build or buy steel
mai-coaches, or compel the railroads to do it.
The amount now paid annually for the
rental of the wooden mail-cars is $4,8oo,ooo
Besides this we pay the railroads $4,000, 900
for hauling the mails. This tremendous ex-
pense would be cut at least half, if the Gov
eminent owned the roads

The Homeless of One City.

The County Council which governs London,
England, takes census every year to ascer-
tain the number of homeless people.
By this careful official count it is made
known that on Friday night, January IS, 1909,
London, the richest in the Christian world
had 1888 homeless citizens, 10 of whom were
women and 20 children.
The Salvation Army and the Church Army
provided shelter for 1874 of these poor crea-

lures, and other institutions took care OF las

who slept on staircases under the arches OF
bridges, and in the open street.
The weather. of course, was bitterly cold,
and these two thousand human wretches were
hungry and scantily clothed, in addition to
being without shelter
In the same papers which tell you of such

which Mr.. Watson investigated.
Once again. say that it is true that the
foreign missionary goes to the needy heather
with tempting offers of the necessaries of
mind and body--free medicine, free medical
attention. free board and treatment in the hos
pital, free schoolbooks, free tuition. from kin
dergarten to college free victuals and clothes;
and, often, promise of steady employment
to scholars after graduation.
The Advocate, abiding to the needy of our
own land doubts the existence of much dest-
tuition and inquiries lightly,
rs it not true that money can be had for
any needy person SO soon as his need becomes
known?"
There's optimism for you! What have we
had. for the last fourteen months, but terrible
tales of suffering among the poor and the
unemployed of all our large cities? Appar-
emily, the Editor of the Advocate has been
SO concerned over Hindus, Chinese, Japanese,
Hottentots and what nOts that he has been
blind to the pteous condition of hundreds of
thousands of his own flesh and blood. All
the records prove that the number OF our peo-
pie who for years have been living within
week of prvation run into the millions. When
100000 of our wage-earners are suddenly
thrown out of work. and are idle for a year
or more-does it require unusual sagacity to
understand the misery which comes to the mil
lion wives and children dependent the
wages of these men?
The Jeffersonian does not expect any con-
siderable change in mission methods. Too
many people are interested in keeping the sys-
TEN what it is. But we have no apologies to
make for saying that 1T IS UNSCRIPT-

year. a salary equalled among city
superintendents only by that of Supt
Maxwell of New York City. Mrs
Young is 81 years old, and was prin-
cipal of the Chicago Normal school,
and well known as an educator in the
middle west. Mrs. Young has been a
teacher since 1862. There has been
no educational development since
which she has not watched closely, if
indeed. she has not been a part of it.
For twelve years she was district SUI
perintendent, and for five or six years
professor of education at the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
The school board decided on Mrs.
Young at one of the briefest and most
harm onious sessions in its history. At
ter motion to suspend the rules, Mrs.
Young was nominated and the nomi-
nation was seconded by Mrs Isabelle
O'Keefe, the woman member of the
board. The selection apparently meets
with general approval, the Chicago
Times saying editorially:
THE selection of woman to be
superintendent of schools in the Sec
ond largest city in the United States is
in violation of precedent. If any man
among the candidates had possessed
all the qualifications recognized in Mrs
Young her sex might have been
against her. The board of education
tried faithfully to select the best
equipped individual for the important
place. The training, experience and
administrative ability of Mrs. Young
were strong points in her favor. That
they were strong enough to win in
spite of sex and in the face of compe-
tition of a number of men of excep-
tional qualifications makes the honor
shown her all the more notable.
1.-The selection of Mrs. Young has
two-fold interest. 1t is a recognition
of faithful service in the Chicago
schools. 1t will bring fresh inspira-
ton and encouragement to women
teachers all over the United States"
