THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By O. O. M'INTYRE.

New York. Nov lO.-Mayor John
Mitchell has administered what the
general public in New York considers
a deserved, rebuke to Miss Grace
Strachan. who tried to inject politics
into her candidacy for associate super
intendent of schools. Miss Strachan
has been, TO say the least. over-Eealous
in her efforts to win the position. and
when she saw that her cause was
hopeless she turned around and sought
the aid of the newspapers to make
her appear 4 martyr
Few people would believe that Miss
Strachan is a martyr Rather would
they believe that she is an exceedingly
clever politician. with large follow
ing of women teachers which she has
converted into personal capital for
herself-in other words, teachers whom
she exploits.
Al Strassman is the box ONCE man
at one of the big theaters on Forty
second street and is used to all kinds
Of lodges on the part of dead-beats
to get in to see the performance.
The other day a well dressed young
Broadway type sauntered up and asked:
May / have two seats to your per-
formance? I am In the theatrical bust
ness"
What Is your line7" he was asked.
7 represent a house that sells
trunks to actors"
Strassman is said to have bitten a
leg on of his stool
There Is a strong movement on foot
in New York to standardize the dances
and also to have a general clean up
and weed out the steps that have the
slightest tinge of vulgarity.
Speaking before the New York So
ctety of Teachers of Dancing, Louis
H Chalif. the most distinguished
dancing authority, made a plea for
more simple uniformity, grace and
morality in dancing. He said:

"The Lord hath done great
things for us whereof we are
glad"
We have just closed one of the
best meetings at White Plains
we.have had this summer. Bro.
G.. w. Jones, as announced some
time ago, did the preaching and
did it so effectively that the
church was greatly revived and
Is were added to our number by
experience and baptism. We
had great crowds every service,
sometimes we could not accom-
modate them all. 1t was surpris-
in e to have so many attend the
Baptismal service Monday. The
largest we have ever seen at a
Monday service.
We appreciate it on the part
of the Pageland church to give
us the time oft last Sunday as it
was their regular Sunday morn
ing hour We feel that the time
was profitably sp ert, as the clos.
ing services of a meeting may
mean so much. Our hearts are
always sad at the thought that
some one will be gone before
another meeting time comes
around. May God in his good
ness cause them to think on
their way before it is everlasting
ly too late for them.

Crops in this section are fine.
Crops in some other sections are
not so fine. Hai!storms have
destroyed the crops in some sec
tons, and dry weather has caus-
ed them to parch in other sec,
tons. All Europe is engaged in
a bloody war, but all is peace
here. If ever a people had
cause for thankfulness il
must be the good people of ChcS
terfield county, who are said to
have the best prospects for cot,

that they have ever had. and bet,

which we have heard, soil and

"If we get few more good
rains, / believe this section will
make plenty of corn for next
year," remarked prominet
farmer the other day. We hope
he is correct in this and we
would like to know that no hay
or oats would be shipped from
the west to Pag eland next spring.
This European war and the
decline in the price of cotton is
another convincing argument
that it is better to live at home
and raise cotton as a surplus
money crop. The western
farmers will pocket many a dol
lar from the increase in the price
of grain, but the southern man
who put his trust in cotton will
come out at the little end of the
horn. The farmer who is rails
ing plenty of corn and other
supplies at home will be effect
ed very little by the war.

The Polo Challenge in Doubt.

There seems to be no question that the English
polo chalengers have failed to reach their expected
form and that withdrawal Of the challenge is a
possibility. The criticism Of Lord Wimborne's team
In the English newspapers has been most severe.
Apparently its practice in Spain went for nothing,
and the new four found itself quite unable to hold
its own against fast combinations, especially one
with the magic name Of Buckmaster in it,
What the Of this disappointing showing is
the crS.s unable to decide. IT has always been
considered that England, largely owing its regi
mental polo had far larger number Of first grade
poloists to draw from than have. But the
present fasco scarcely bears out this view I'm
doubtedy there is larger body of competent play
ers in England than here. When it comes to the
great masters Of the game, a Buckmaster or a Mil
burn the two countries are probably not so far
apart Such geniuses in any sport and a
country, however active in the game which can
produce team of the quality of our old Big Four
count itself extremely lucky.
The wish in this country is, of course strong for
series Of matches. If Lord Wimborne's team
falls by the wayside, it is to be hoped that some
other arrangement can be made by which Hurting
ham will again be represented at Westbury.

Feminism Means What 1t SAYS.

There is chuckle and touch of truth In the
fact that Mrs Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Of the
feminist vanguard, ended her revolutionary lectures
with word upon dressmaking. The ending was
accidental But many other feminists Of our
acquaintance are fond Of turning N the same drec-
ton that the incident takes Importance

country and elsewhere had good deal Of mascu.
linism about 1t. Trousers and stiff collars were the
outward and visible signs of astray. The new
idea about woman then held that her business
was the imitation Of man.
1t is the sane and refreshing side Of the feminist
movement Of to-day that It contemplates no such
abnormality. The very name Of the thing explains
that woman is not trying to be man. but merely to
be herself-more intensely and more completely
than ever before. 1t Is not chance that your
modern feminist pays as much attention TO her
frocks as to her soul. That is her philosophy her
rule Of life.
And. esteemng feminine charm as highly as we
do II is surely permissible to hope that in this
gard her philosophy may never falter.

The Case of the Women Probation Officers.

The Board of Estimate is probably justified in its
decision that the plea of the Federation Of Womens
Clubs for five women probation officers In
Manhattan should be addressed to the Board Of
Magistrates. 1t action Of the gistrates which
caused the five women to be dropped and the appro
priatlon in the 1914 budget to be reduced And as
the probation officers work under the magistrates
and assigned to cases by them. It is only rea-
sonable that efforts to change this state Of affairs
be concentrated the judges.
Nevertheless this protest should be made, and
made vigorously, wherever 1t can have influence
There are more than 10000 women who come be-
fore the police courts of Manhattan and The Bronx
in year-women large proportion of whom are
not hardened offenders and rrecaimable The pro-
baton system was devised for such and it works
1t seems inevitable that it should work better with
most Of those women If women probation officers
handled their cases than If men had the Job: for
no man, however able, sympathetic and trustworthy
could obtain the confidence of an unfortunate
woman another woman could
The magistrates may have had good reasons for
dropping the five women officers and asking for the
appointment Of five men in their places If so they
will be glad to give their reasons, and If the latter
are in the public interest question Of sex
should interfere If, on the other hand the women
were displaced solely because they were women. as
some of their champions insist the ma gstrates will
have lot of difficult explaining to do
