A Lingering Case of Discrimination
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
We have very little patience with most
of the charges of masculine discrimins-
ton against women. The pioneers who
demanded higher education for women
did meet bigoted opposition. Similarly
with first efforts all along the line. Cen
orally speaking, however, men have
shown themselves more than ready to
treat women fairly as soon as they awak-
ened to the new demands and the new
facts.
One odd exception in the case of educa-
ton remains. 1t is now possible for Il
woman TO obtain a medical education in
number of excellent schools. But the
hospitals are still closed against her on
trance as an inferno to gain the prac-
teal experience which is in many aspects
the fundamental and vital portion of her
training. There is but one hospital in
Greater New York which admits a wom-
an as inferno, we believe, and few else
where in the east
A step in the right direction is the pro-
posal before Commissioner kinSsbury to
open the Metropolitan Hospital on Black
well Island TO women internes. We
would point to the Bellevue Train nE
School for Nurses an admirable exam
pie of how enlightened municipal progress
can serve both the few and the many
! The city can well afford to take the lead
in this new measure of justice to women.

Most people are, anyway. And it was so
with Sammy Jay. He tried to tell what
he had seen, but was so excited that his
words tumbled over each other and were
SO mixed up that no one could under
stand what he was trying to tell, and
this made Sammy more excited than
ever, so that his talk was more mixed up

rom the lineage Record Herald.
The next thing for emanicipated woman
to reform may be the theater. Indeed
that intrepid actress, Mary Shaw. calls
for "womans national ,theater'' as a
means of correcting some conspicuous
present-day ills.
Woman, says Miss Shaw, controls the
theater without realizing it. She makes
up the bulk of the audience. and plays are
largely selected with the idea of pleasing
her. But if woman had a share in active
executive control. woman players and
playwriters would get better treatment,
and many archaic and conventional types,
perpetrated and perpetuated by men,
would be retired.

Everybody on the Green Meadows and

certainly acted as if he were crazy. He

Il shall be prepared next week to
entertain propositions to receive local

think 1t will be better for the farm

accept corrugated iron warehouses in
the country, where the insurance
companies will take them, and I
would suggest type Of warehouse
which would hold about 500 bales of
cotton, which could be erected very
speedily for about $500.
1t is very important if the people
are to hold their cotton, that it should
be placed in the form Of some nego-
table paper, SO that the lien mer-
chants and others may be able,
through their banks, to discount it,
when the federal reserve system goes
into operation, November Is. A State
warehouse receipt guaranteeing the
title of cotton and the weights and
grades, is form Of paper that has
long been needed in the commercial

more cheaply at home than at stand

SO far as to say that cotton in the open
