Professor Follows Ideas of Adam in Eden
While Expounding Prophets
By MARY ASHE MILLER

ings. He says that the society germ
is responsible for the oppression OF the
poor and the reck1essness Of the rich.
Both of these are good phrases and
that might have been the case In the
times Of Amos and Hosea-aIthough
nothing in casual reading OF those
prophets conveys exactly that idea-but
in the present day and generation IN
the United States the picture seems
little oyerdrawn.
The rich are undoubtedly reckless; at
least some OF them-witness the bIat-
ant recklessness OF John d. Rocke-
feller-but there may be found an equal
amount OF this quality among the poor.
If they were less reckless some OF them
might not be poor.
And the oppression OF the poor is
almost an obsolete term.
Free education. labor unions. legis-
lation, social work and other like in
huences prevent any continuous and
widespread oppression OF any one in
this country. Even a socially ambitious
woman is unable to DO very much in
that line.
After review Of the situation. one
feels inclined to reassufe Professor
Willett- Women undoubtedly have
their faults, as they seem TO have had
from the beginning of time. but in
stead of inveighing against them let
the men try to build up sufficient moral
fiber TO resist the evil influences. There
seems no logical reason why-to quote
the professor-"The moral levels of
nation can never rise higher than its
womanhood"
The San Francisco call., 1909-07-09

THE wonder in ones mind after
reading the telegraphic report Of
Professor Willett's lecture is as
to what else he said.
He was supposed to expound the So
cial teachings of the prophets, and he
speaks of Amos and Hosea, but his
ideas seem to have conformed entirely
to the idea laid down by Adam some
years before. when ne blamed the
woman for everything reprehensible
that occurred in the garden.
Didn't Professor willett say any
thing about the men at all?
One wonders. too. whether he really
thinks that way about women all the
time, or only when he is engaged in
delivering oracular observations TO
summer school classes.
A horrid suspicion creeps in that the
professor shares the sentiments of the
United States army general who had
so much to say a few years since
against matrimony for second lieuten-
ants
1t is not probable that there are any
girls-or even women-in the summer
classes Of divinity school. even in
Chicago.
Rows of earnest faced. earnest
hearted young clergymen rise before
the minds eye and 1t is safe to as
sumo that some of them have felt that
feminine hand might help to smooth
the rough places OF new parish. The
professor may feel 1t his duty to warn
these young men off the shoals Of
woman's extravagance and social long

There is a succession of informal
parties these days, and the theater
seems to be in particular favor for an
outing that can be enjoyed by half a
dozen young people or more with a
chaperon. This evening Miss Augusta
Foute will entertain several friends at
Ne theater, and among those hidden
for the occasion are Miss Eliza McMuI-
lin, Edward Morgan, Loring Pickering
and Miss Innes Keeney. Miss Foute
has been visiting friends at Byron, and
has just returned to town.
Mrs. William Hinckley Taylor will
leave soon for New York, and after a
brief stay in that city will sail for
Europe, and, by the way, will accom-
pany the William S. Tevises on the in
teresting trip abroad. The party will
travel in the old world for two or three
months. returning here, their friends
will be glad to learn, in time to take
part in the winter social affairs.
Apropos of the Parrott family. the
further gossip may be added that Miss
Josephine Parrott is attending the con-
vent at Northampton in England and
will remain there for another year
while her sisters, the Misses Emily,
Abbie and Barbara. are travelling
through Denmark.

among the poor people OF the south.

BEGIN WORK ON CANAL
Big Project Near Seattle to Be Built
After Long Delay.


Seattle, Nov. l.-Construction has
begun on the Lake Washington gov
eminent canal, a project that means
a great deal to Seattle and ocean
shipping The last session OF the
state legislature gave an appropria-
ton Of S25O,O00 from the surplus Of
the sale OF the Lake Washington
shore lands for the construction of a
temporary canal
The turning OF the first shovelful
Of earth in the construction Of the
canal marks the passage Of more
than q half century since the water
way was first recommended to the
United States government by Cen
Geo Mcclellan, who urged that
congress make an appropriation for
the canal in order that the United
States might secure the greatest
strategic haven in the world for its
war vessels. At that time there was
no city OF Seattle.
