A Momentous Moment.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: There have
been many momentous incidents In
history. When the tide of battle turn

charge on the federal troops at Gettys-
burg, when the six hundred rode into
the mouth Of hell at Balaklava; when
Col. Lafayette Young charged up San
Juan hill-all these and countless
more were thrilling moments. But
none of them could have been more
thrilling than what happened at Sioux
City the other day, when several
thousand crazy fans" forgot the heat
and the actions OF Cannon and Aid.

Cabbalism and Rabinism, we must
conclude that now, strictly speaking,
anti-suffragists should be regarded
as daughters of Eve and suf-
fragists as daughters of Lilith
To both would accrue certain salts

seems to have been the better woman,

EVE AND llLlTH.

If Col. George Harvey, editor OF the
North American Review. isn't over
whelmed with storm of protests we
miss our guess. In the latest issue
of that periodical he has an article
on snakes In which he advances the
theory that the descendants of Eve
are anti-suffragists and those of Lilith
suffragettes. The bible as edited by
Ezra makes no reference whatever to
the important part played by Lilith
in the beginning OF things. What is
known OF her comes to US through the
Chaldean inscriptions and Arabic leg
ends It seems that Lilith was ere
ated at the same time and in the
same way as Adam. Male and fe-
male created he them" and endowed
them with equal rights and privileges.
But, runs the chronicle, Adam, tact

DOESN'T SOUND PLAUSIBLE.


"Gumshoe Bill Stone of Missouri
is the last person in the world one
would have expected to have lost his
temper the way he lost it on a train
to the extent of shaping in the face
a waiter with a dark skin. 1t is pre-
dtcted that the next thing he will be
entering the "Chautauqua' lists and
dividing honors with Ben Tillman.
The editor of the Denver Republican,
former Missourian, doesn't take
much stock in the story as it was
told in the dispatches. He thus points
out its inherent improbability:
1t is not for us to challenge any
statement made by the senator but we
are from Missouri too and when he
asserts that he made the onslaught
because the waiter refused to bring
him large glass of water and
small glass of Scotch We have our
doubts. If It had been the other way
about the provocation would have
been great and entire sympathy OF
the Millionaire club at Washington
would have gone with him. AS it is,
while the words of the slender, silent
man from the great state Will not be
challenged openly it might be well for
him to secure witnesses who heard
the colloquy, particularly his demand
for more water and less liquor.

Valley Junction Express: Rev. john
ston Myers, OF Chicago, who recently
made himself notorious In an attempt
to drive Professor Foster out Of the
University OF Chicago. and who found
himself signally defeated, has again
sought distinction by an attack on
Charles w. Eliot, ex-president of Har-
ward. charging him with heresy, In
fidelity and several other imaginary
offenses.
Tho trouble with such men as Myers
IS that. IL their bumptioIs attacks
prove any thing at all, they prove en-
tirely too much. In his attack on DIR.
Eliot. DR.. Myers again alleged his for.
mer charge in the Foster case, that the
great universities are fast becoming
hot beds OF atheism. 1t is only a little
while ago that such men as Myers
were claiming for the churches they
represent the honor and service to
humanity OF having founded. directly
or Indirectly, all the colleges and uni
versities. Now that their children are
revolving from their control, they are
trying to hold them to scorn.
But the greaat public refuses to be
frightened. The Myerses can not
frighten them into boycott on the
higher schools. They easily reason thai

Up in Maine they had a dispute the
other day as to whether women should
be admitted to the State Historical
Society or not. One man complained
that if women were admitted it would
be no time until they would control

good reson for admitting them and
it may have been SO regarded, as the
society promptly accorded them the
privilege by vote of fifteen to six.
