WILSON ON HYMNS.

AT the union mass-meetng OF the
Protestant Sunday schools Of Tren-
ton last Sunday Governor Woodrow
wilson delved into hymnology-one of
the multitudinous subjects upon which
he is scattering his fire. He rather
went out of his way to ridicule THE
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" which.
nevertheless. IS a very sweet and con-
soling hymn. lie said:
Some OF the songs we sing tonight
are silly and meaningless. They have
neither poetry nor sense in them. why
cannot we sing the old psalms? Why
other way, those immortal voices
which have sung the spirit of God
through generation after generation?
Why do we have to concoct silly
rhymes of our own? Where is that
ridiculous Beautiful Isle OF Some
whore? Who has discovered it; who
mas charted IT. where is 1t? don't
want to roat through vague seas Hike
that"
Such criticism seems gratui,ous. II
people wish to pour out their religion
In verses OF their own. why should've

II is an exquisite song. fun OF consola
tion and bright hope 1t was the IA :
vorite hymn of President Mckinley. and
was sung at his funeral. why is II
wrong to speak of the hereafter as a
Beautiful Isle? Is Governor Wilson
so omniscient that he knows that the
undiscovered country Is not an isle ?
No one. OF course. can correctly de-
scribe the land beyond the valley OF
the shadow. and the Imagination of
one is worth as much as the ima2ina-
tion of another.

Voice Of the People
Mr.. Hirschbcrg's War Against Womer


TO the Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-Mr. Hrschberg has created a
small ripple of excitement by his
avowed intention of Introducing into
the City Council bill to Dust women
from positions In city Offices 1t Is
difficult to divine his motives I'm this
matter, or even to take him in earn
est. especially since his standing i'm
the Council and his hold upon his
constituents seem secure enough TO
enable him to pursue his political am
billions without the aid of such cheap
notoricty as war against women
would give him. Weaponless and de-
fenscless as is woman from a politi-
cal standpoint, most men would hest
tate before joining crusade against
her There is no glory in a victory
gained without resistance.
morous side Already physicians are
declaring that exceptions must bs
made OF female nurses in city hos
pitals And what will become of
female public school teachers. who
also hold city positions? Perhaps Mr.
them undisturbed. because their sala-
ries are so much smaller than the
salaries OF the male teachers doing
the same work. and because teach
ing is too arduouS and toilsome pro-
iession to attract the average man
But the elimination of nurses and OF
teachers reduces tho whole matter TO
a microscopic movement against the
certain city officials. Truly. a glorious
struggle. and one that would eXalt
the City Council into heroes worthy
of renown!
There are two obstacles in the way
OF achieving so noble result as
the enthusiastic gentleman contem-
plates, one is that the Council can
scarcely with consistency pass a meas
ure that Will be practically imperative
because il can be made effective against
only a negligible proportion OF those
against whom it is directed. The 9TH
CT is that city official who hires
female clerks and stenographers
sometimes because they VIII work on
reduced salaries) may consider that he
has a right to employ whom he pleases.
II there were any prospect of sue
cess for such bill as our enter
prisinS Councilman proposes one might
protest against the injustice that do
nies to woman the right of becoming
a legal voter and at the same tmo
refuses to allow her the opportunity
Of making a living because she is
not one. But there is no great dam
ger. II Is only case OF political
rash" that affects the gentleman. which
Is only skin-deep and not contagious.
The quickest and most effective rem
edy (and atonemenD would be for Mr..
HirschberG to enter upon the crusade
for equal suffrage. That would fur
nish him a large field OF operation.
where he might become a leader
worthy OF the praise of his constlt-
sive proof that to woman ms class
the ballot has become an economic
necessity. More than 100000 wo-
men fill places in the field of labor In
this country. and others are being
added to their numbers every day.

THE STEPHENSON PRONE,

One hundred and seven thousand
seven hundred and ninety three dol
lars is the sum admitted by Senator
stephenson, of Wisconsin. to be tho
amount expended to secure his nom
ination in 1909. Yet this old and
sagacious politician boldly asserts
that II was all spent legitimately. For
confidence in others and free handed
ness his equal would be hard to md.
stephenson says that he never both
cred about details" He gave his
campaign managers what they asked
for and they did the rest Did he keep
accounts OF vouchers? No, indeed. how
could man who is president of more
than dozen active industries" have
time to concern himself with the red
tape of bookkeeping? If he was told
that his postage bill was $1,000 why
should he have demanded proof OF It?
He was no less liberal when his man
ayers asked him one day for $4,000
and shortly aftcrward came back for
$4,000 more and got II. Listen to the
''SNiiphy lDiun YOU ever ask tnem
what they were doing with all that
money!" No. only In general way
You gave Puelicher several thousand
dollars, didn't you inquire what he
wanted it for?" No. supposed 1t
was some bill" That sort of defense
has held water too long already. The
old. old story is too hard TO swallow
now. Does anybody think that this
wise old capitalist, this really close
listed business man, turned over slO7,-
1913 without knowing In what specific
way IL was to be spent and to whom
1t was to be given? Not bit of 1t
This moth eaten plea of "Nly friends
may have done II, hut If they did,
knew nothing about IT," is on It's last
legs. II Is the usual defense Of tho
trapped politician who would have the
people believe that his agents were
really the principals. Some people may
distribute money recklessly and be-
nevolcntly, but candidates for the Sen
ate of the United States do not.

esting letter to the New York Evening
Post, in which he brings out very
clearly the record for turning out emil
nent men possessed by HampdenSid-
ney College.
Referring to the general alumni cat
alogue of that celebrated institution,
he says that the number of students
listed to 1906 was 1856, although this
Is much below the correct total. be-
cause the records are incomplete. OF
this number, one was President of the
United States, four were ministers to
foreign countries, ten were members
OF the United States Senate. twenty
two were members of the United States
House of Representatives., and eight
have been Governors of States. In ad-
of judges, generals. college presidents
