John ]. Hemphill.

By the death of former Representa-
tive Hemphill, this city loses a good
citizen and a warm friend. In the
twenty-one years that have elapsed since
his retirement from Congress, he hss
been active in promoting the welfare Of
Washington and its people along lines
which he clearly saw while he was chair
man of the District Committee. During
his work as Representative he learned
to love this city and chose it as place
to work out his brilliant career in his
profession as a lawyer, in which he
was active until the day Of his death
There was hardly an activity in which
Mr. Hemphill did not make his great
influence felt for good He was a
leading member of the bar, an ac-
tive member of the church, and, In all
walks of life, was a conspieuously good
citizen and a useful member of So
eiety. He was in his life a complete
refutation of the notion that obtains in
so many places that politics units
man for professional or business life,
and that the end of a political career
Is necessarily the end of the man. Large
as was his influence while member of
Congress, and particularly as chairman
of the District Committee, it is no dis
paragement to say that his later private
life was in no less degree conspicuous,
and so far as Washington is concerned,
his usefulness and good example as a
citizen were in no degree lessened.

In America not more than 1L3 per cent
OF the whole female population is en-
gagged in gainful occupations, as against
61.3 per cent OF the male. Moreover, even
this 1L3 per cent becomes still much
smaller when only the native whites OF

A Boomerang of Criticism.

From the Popular MagAzi1s.
DR.. Edwin A. Alderman, the president
Of the University Of Virginia, tells this
story. illustrating the importance Of be-
ing careful in criticism:
II know Of a certain instructor in rhet-
ortc who always impressed upon his
students the necessity of clarity In what
they wrote. A young man brought on
one occasion a very carefully prepared
essay.
"a good piece OF work said the In
structor. but. Mr.. Smith, you should re-
member 70 write every sentence 50 that
the most ignorant person can understand
svery word you PUT down
The young man looked worried, and
asked snxiously:
What part of my essay was not
clear to you, professor"

And It is a situation which, without
doubt, is embarrassing to the Repub1i-
can party.
So much bitterness has been created
and the feeling is so intense in both
factions that it will be very difficult
to reconcile differences after the con-
vention has been held. As to the out
come of that convention it may be said
that President Taft deserves and should

triotic President There is no doubt,
also, that he can be nominated. He
