stances may permit judgment, bids fair
TO 1--we for some time yet. The su-
thenticity of the facts related about
her Is seemingly not questioned.
But It Is not her great age that so
much suggests reflection as her ex-
traordinary experiences Mrs. Cordrey
could easily be familiar with all the
important occurrences IN this country
for at least a hundred years And
how far back that carries US and how
amazing they have been! When she
was a girl working IN the fields, as
she describes, the war with the British
In 1912 was a current event. The coun-
try was IN its infancy; IN the East
many of the towns and cities now
classed as large were but hamlets and,
perhaps. cross road stopping places, and
the Far West was but a wilderness
The mammoth community we at pres
ent know as Chicago was but iron
tier fort with a few log cabins Travel
was difficult ana dangerous every
where and in those remote regions full
of hazard. Life. 50 easy and luxurious
at present, was arduous IN the ex-
IRENE.
Mrs. Cordrey saw the beginning Of
the railroads that now extend every
where; saw OIL take the place Of can
dies, and gas take the place Of both,
and then, in turn, give way to cleo
tricity. She saw the magnetic tele-
graph. as it was called, put into opera
ton. and might have witnessed the first
steam engine. She saw all the vast
multitude Of minor comforts and con
venieuces that are now commonplace
gradually substituted for the primitive
and clumsy things that were about her
in her childhood. But not only did she see
life improve from the utilitarian point
OF view for she witnessed the gradual
change in the refinement Of manners,
IN the spread of popular knowledge and
in the growth OF the love for what Is
beautiful and artistic All this and
much more the old lady has witnessed
IN her day. and. TO doubt. in her way,

contemplating cases like hers that We
realize more wildly what has hap

LOOK ON GOVERNOR HUGHES
AS THE MOSES.

According TO the reports coming from
New York on the conferences between
President Taft and the leaders there,
the leaders have been warned by Presl-
dent Taft that the situation OF the
Republican party IN the Empire state
looks grave and there Is a disposition
n turn to Governor Hughes as the
Noses to lead the party out OF the
wilderness. The governor has been
told that If he would not act as State
standard bearer, he would have to take
full charge of the campaign and give
it the full weight Of his conscience and
his approval
It has taken the New York leaders,
that Is the old machine leaders, a long
time TO get around 90 the point Of look
ing to Hughes for political salvation
And II may be doubted now II they are
ready 10 carry out his ideas with any
enthusiasm. He insists on q thorough
probe Of the Aids scandal. and on the

including direct nominations. extension

UNHAPPYFUTURE PREDICTED
FOR ADVANCED WOMEN.

The discussion which Is going on
over woman's suffrage makes interest
ing the arguments, pro and con, which
are heard elsewhere. A curious thought
in connection with the subject has
been advanced IN New York by Dr.
James J. Wash. dean OF the Fordham
University Medical School, before the
National League for the Civic EduCa-
ton Of Women Dr. Walsh argues
that. even i women attain the suffrage,
nature in course of time viii eliminate
from the race all OF them who care for
IL He explains this unhappy augJIry
by citing history TO show that wber-
ever woman has bTossOmcd forth into
some unusual intellectual activity the
working Of some unknown law Of
biology has pushed the advanced wo-
man aside and the others have fallen
back into the pursuit of domestic
duties
Dr. Walsh also disputes the state
ment that woman has Just now come
into her own and that she has Just
now begun TO exercise her proper in
Tuence. y young and beautiful wo-
man, he declared, was the senior
wranCler at the University of Bologna
in the twelfth century. He cited other
instances TO show that the early ages
knew the advanced woman He said,
however, It has always been noticed
that. after three OF four generations,
interest Of women IN these intellectual
movements dissipatcd and without our
knowing how or why We find them
once more satisfied TO look after house
hold affairs.
As every light on this mooted ques-
tiou Is now needed. DR.. WaIsh's views
are given for what they are worth
The argument that nature in course
of time disapproves Of woman's intel
lectuaI development along certain lines
by rubbing out It's advocates, We are
quite certain, wiz neither satisfy nor
frighten the PreseHt-5iav suffragist.
