Julia Ward Howe.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfig-
ureS you and me.
As he died to make men holy, let us die
to make men free,
While God is marching on.
The recent death Oh Americas grand
old woman, Julia Ward Howe, in her
nin~ety-second year serves to recall to
mind the fact that our martial hymns
of real poetic merit are few and far
between. 1t is forty-nine years since
Mrs. Howe wrote the Battle Hymn
of the Republic which was sung to
the tune of John Browns Body By
Federal soldiers throughout the wa
and since the close of that conflict has
been accepted north and south alike as
the triumphal paean of progressive
American democracy. The Battle
Hymn is true poetry. 1t has the dash
and swing Of marching troops, the
lyric Tilt of word music, and it contains
lines that are of epic height and depth.
This hymn Julia Ward Howe leaves
to the reunited nation as a priceless
legacy. Our literature contains moth
ing so inspiring.
Mrs. Howe devoted much of her life
to a dignified and womanly effort to
make woman free. When she was
born the sphere Of was con-
fined to the household; the higher ed
ucation was for men only. Now our
girls are educated along with our boys.
and many of them excel their brothers
In scholarship. A prominent Japanese
who had lived long in America recent
ly remarked that in his opinion the
superiority of our civilization over
Japan's is due mainly to the fact that
in this country we educate our women
while in Japan the women are kept in
comparative ignorance. Mrs. Howe
not only did much toward opening the
avenues of education to women. but
she gave many Of the later years of
her life to the cause of political rights
for the members of her sex. Whether
we stand for woman suffrage or
against it. we cannot refuse to pay a
tribute of respect to this wonderful
nonagenarian. whose life was a con-
slant endeayor toward larger liberty
for all. RORERTUS LOVE.

ttIG Is a Pity.o

The shooting of Mayor Gaynor Of
New York by Il sorehead who had lost
his job through neglect and insolence
aroused the indignation Of every man,
rich or poor. with a job or without.
who possesses intelligence enough to
keep from butting his own brains out
against a stone wall. All assassina-
tons of public officials in the United
States are acts of similar Stiffness, so
fatuous and foolish and futile that any
person with a pinch of brains as large
as a pinhead cannot fail to perceive
the utter asininity Of such deeds.
John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln be-
of a frenzied fancy that the pres
ident was an enemy to the south.
Charles J.. Guiteau shot Garfield be-
cause the assassin was a sorehead Of
fee seeker. Leon Czolgosz shot Nc
Kinley because of a crackbrained con-
Ieption of the wrongs of society. Pat
rick j. Prendergast shot Mayor Harri-
son of Chicago because the mayor had
not appointed him to a job in the Of
fee Of the corporation counsel. James
J. Gallagher shot Mayor Gaynor in the
back Of the head because the dock
commissioners department had fred
him after proving his delinquencies at
a rop111ar haarinr
'It is a pity" murmured Mayor Cay
o after the shooting. And it is in
deed a pity hat in this splendid re-
public. wherein a hundred millions of
people gathered from all nations are
striving to work up through Imperfect
ton to a measurable degree of perfec-
ton in government for the good of
all, now and then some egregious ass
with a brain cut on the bias gets hold
of a revolver and shoots down some
conspicuous public official who is try
ing to do his duty-the duty which a
majority of his fellow citizens have
thrust upon him. 1t is a pity, too, that
in the nature of things no official can
be safeguarded effectually against such
assassins. More's the pity!
ROBERTUS LOVE.
