what the services Of Red Cross nurses

ed soldiers. The Red Cross alleViates

To do The probable bloody and cruel
nature of this war carried on with
modern engines Of destruction in
mountainous and not highly developed
country should be an added reason FOR
generous answer to this call. Regard
less of creed or cause, nation or re-
1icion. the heart of the nation must
rasnond to the necessity Of the men
who are engaged in the futile busi-
ness of bloodshed. There is tempta-
ton to urge that the money be spent
for preventing wars. rather than miti-
eating their present horrors, but the
bitter folly of humanity is one more
reason for pity and charity. We decry

n.arance comes. we must see tc IT that

lanes SCHOOLCRAFr SHERMAN.

The Grim shadow has once more fai-
IL, across our national life. and on
ne ave Of election. the country mourns
the death OF the Vics-President' james
schooicraft sherman. Men OF All par
ties and Of all faiths Will feel ms
,yo;,g as n loss. The office of Vice
President is, despite light oests.
.ravs and responsible position. and 10
have its holder removed swiftly FROM
a, active and useful life is a cause for
sincere regret. However widely poit-
teal differences may carry the people
NJ the United States apart, they nave
,,,ned in admiration for the gentle
<ood-nature and pleasant friendliness
Of this statesman whose smile won Tor
him from a laughter-loving nation, the
title of Sunny Jim" He appealed TO
them as a man whose heart was SOUND
and whose view Of life was simple ana
wholesome. He cared for what the
average man cares for. and while
greater statesmen may have filled the
vice presidential chair. We doubt
whether any OF them ever won finer
title to respect than this seemingly
irreverent nickname.
Mr.. Sherman has served the country
for long term of years. In Con-
gress he was the friend of Thomas B.
Reed, and his personal popularity has
been net whit less real among Demo-
Gratis than Republicans. That ne held
the respect and confidence of his home
district was proved by the unanimity
of his reflections as Congressman
nine times. His deeds have been at
tackled. but in every case his record
remained unstained. He was a con-
servative by nature and environment.
He believed that the old ways were
best, and his own abilities defended
his convictions. But ali his public
achievements will be forgotten long
before the people ne served will forget
that he was a sunshiny and lovable
man.

OF those who for q few hours lived
through the pages OF Dickens hearty
melodrama. the question as to why
great artist should have painted such
silly and Mandy PANTY women Even
with the dignity and effectiveness OF
this production as backing. the two
female parts were ridiculous. They
aroused pity for the men OF the time
who had to choose such weaklinS
partners for such stirring lives. rs
Dickens paints the early Victorian era
the nice women were amiable Tools
and the interesting women not overly
nice. Literary critics declare that the
novelist could not draw the character
of a young woman of birth and breed
ing. We rather incline to the view
that he drew them too well, and tLat
they really were yaporish and scnti-
mental.
1t is a cheering comment upon our
more modern ideals that the lives OF
women have expanded and taken Oh
enable them to be both nice and in
teresting at once. The victorian
gentiewoman led a narrow ana I'M
eventful existence involving as its ENDS
housekeeping and maternity. She hac
few interests outside the four walls of
home, and naturally her mind was
neither full nor flexible. She had her
opinions. religion. and very words
handed to her already carefully stef-
liked so her innocence might suffer
no stain. She did her duty. and suf-
fered from anemia of the spirit She
tainted for excitement, and emoroid-
cred for recreation.
Naturally enough when Dickens de-
lineates this dollhouse type of char
acter. IL seems unreal and foolish to
an age where even the silliest society
woman has some vital interest. If II
be nothing more than tennis or prize
beagles. The average high school girl
OF to-day would be a more interesting
though perhaps failing In
some domestic ways. than the iair
and clinging heroine of the thirties.
So we regret that the vir1le pen Oh
Dickens could not have made plctnr-
esoue a few Of the eXtravagances OF
modern femiuism to prove that he
knew both halves OF life.
