WOMEN SHOULD Be

Says They Could be

ident of Christian College. is an adj
dress delivered at the Christian church
last night.
Education for her own sake, for
seli-interest. for the sake of the hap
ipiness of future homes is all right,
declared Mrs ST. Clair, but education
Tor more practical purposes is becom-
ing more important"
No longer is it true that if Jack
and Jill go up the hill to fetch a pail
down and break his crown that ii.
come tumbling after. The modern Jill
Is more likely to seize the pail and
toll on alone feeling Il double respon-
siblity in returning with the pail
well filled"
Mrs. St Clair advocated that the
woman OF today must take an active
part in the problems of the church and
civic interests She asserts that the
world expects the modern woman to
do practical Things. She should
breathe the oxygen of outdoor air rath-
| h, Il Of a

Women have sinncd against their
physical welfare. but are fast remedy
ing those evils. in that custom invites
women to the gymnasium. the tennis
court, the golf fields and even to the
| hunting of big game. The hoe, the
rake, broom and dust pan are excel
lent weapons with which to defy de-
Spondency. OvertaXed nerves and gen
eral debility
Mrs. st. Clair said that nearly one
half the academic degrees being won
today are granted to women. although
they form less than one-half the total
number of students enrolled in col
leges. THE principal objection to adj
hitting woman to the Universities is
the danger of their feminiZing those
institutions of learning-whatever that
may mean" she said
Speaking of woman service in the
church, Mrs. st. Clair said. The
church at all times and in all ages has
depended upon woman's cruise of ser
vice for its solace and inspiration.
Women have been graduated from a
curriculum that included only choir
service. strawberry festivals and dona-
ton parties. With timid but deter
mined hands she has cleared a patti
for broader, nobler and more dignitied
line of duty.
Men are so occupied with the ma
terial things, the endless struggle for
the loaves and fishes, that the church
organizations. upon which the nation
must depend, are left largely to the
care OF women. But with woman as a
theologian we should not concern our
selves. men have wrought enough
harm by means of theology

Another Record For Kansas.

Forty-eight Kansas counties, repre-
senting a population of 43O,274 did not
send a single prisoner to the state
penitentiary during the past year. In
the state the total number of con-
victs sentenced to prison was 233, one
for every 6,S67 of the states popula-
ton.
Kansas is ambitious to show the
world that state which boasts the
lowest percentage of illiteracy has
something to show for it besides a
bumper wheat crop and a record
breaking crop yield. With its school
houses filled, and its poor houses emp
ty, it is making excellent progress
toward a commendable purpose to re-
duce its prison population to the min
imum.

MADE BY TAWNEY.

Washington, Dec. 16.-In replying to
charges of Chairman Tawney of the
house appropriations committee that q
conspiracy existed to stampede con-
gress to larger military appropriations,
Representative McLachlan Of Califor-
MIA issued a statement today in which
he said that alleged patriots have kept
the nation lin utter ignorance of it's
helpless condition until war has come
and have then placed unframed, un-
tutored men. armed with obsolete
weapons, in the field to uphold the
national honor"
In answer to Mr.. TaWney's charge
that it was coWar6ly to make known
''our admitted national weakness" Mr..
McLachlan replied:
"rhe most wicked national cowardice
can picture is demanding of our
people to come to the national defens e
aud then sending them forth, an un-
equipped mob, to deadly fever camps
or against prepared enemy to be
murdered"
Mr.. McLachlan is authority for the
resolution calling for a report from the

TUTIoNAL AMENDMENT.

resolution for a constitutional amend
ment to provide for the election Of
United States senators by direct vote

ham against the report. The question
will he submitted to the full commit
tee next Monday.
The sub-committe has been consid-
ering resolution introduced by Sen
ator Bristow of Kansas, but the meas
ure adopted was the Tucker resolu-
ton passed by the house in 1892 The

but the end sought by the Kansas
senator is declared to be accom-
plished by the measure agreed upon.
Whether the senate will be called
upon to act upon the resolution at
this session depends upon the atti-
tude of the judiciary committee next
Monday. The report of the majority
of the sub-committe will be presented
by Senator -Borah. 1t is expected that
Senator Dillingham; will make a mi
! nority report. The constitutional

vision:

shall be composed of two senators
from each state, elected by the people
! thereof for six years; and each sena-
tor shall have one vote. The electors
4 in each state shall have the qualifica.-
| tions requisite for electors of the
MOST numerous branch. of the state
| legislatures.
The time. place and manner of hold
ing elections for senators shall be
expressed in the state by the legisa-
