MOTHER SHIPNAN'S
PROPHECY.
A Prophetic Dream. From the Middle
Ages.

We are Indebted to Mrs. Elsena
Hollister. of Detroit, for the following,
which she had preserved in an old
scrap book. We are not advised as to
what paper the reprint was published
In:
Emerson has said that ''all truths
are in the air, and they who are the
most sensitive to them catch them
first" And this medium of other
days was so sensitive to these pro-
phetic truths that she caught them
and uttered them, and the ages have
proven them.
The following prophecy, known as
Mothers Shipman's Prophecy" was
first published in 1893 and repubIished
in 1641. 1t will be noticed that all the
event predicted in it, except that
mentioned in the last two lines, which
is in the future, have already come to
pass;
MOTHER SHIPMAN'S PROPHECY.
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fiji the world with woe
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
How strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down small be
And gold be found at root OF tree
Through hill men shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at their side
Under water men snail waih,
Shall ride, shall sleep. snail talk,
! In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green,
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat,
/ Gold shall be found and found,
In land that Is not now known
Fire and water shall wonders do,
J England shall at last admit Jew,
And the world unto an end shall come
! In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

THE TEACHERS PAY BILL
Mayor Mitchers Veto Is Severely Criti-
ciscd by Woman Teacher.
70 thu Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial this morning on the
teachers pay bill is most unfair. The
Mayor signed q bin for the men teach
ers last week, giving higher salaries 10
bows who were not even in the system,
who had never, at that time, even de-
clared their intention to become teach
ers-they were ordinary students at the
City College-and why? Because they
arc men. The women teachers have to
beg, implore, beseech, crawl for the
slightest advance I'm the system, whether
it be salary or anything else; the men
teachers and tho teachers In the high
school are the whlte-hared boy, while
the claims OF the women teachers or the
elementary schools are not even con-
sIdered, even though there are 1924 OF us.
These determinations are driving thou
sands OF intelligent women to the sur
frage ranks who otherwise would not
think Of II.
The Mayor has found an excuse, not
a reason. for vetolng these bills. lie
signs the mems bill Of the self-same
character. but refuses to sign the wom-
ems bill on the plea OF home rule.
He must seek some other excuse. The
ono given is neither fair nor just nor
valid. A TtANhhH'

THE SALUTATION OF THE FLAG

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We know from the records OF his

tons on what trihing circumstance the
Crimean War began.

then, should not be invoked except under
the most pressing and justifying circum-
stances.
We ask then, shall n terrible war hang
on the salutation OF the American flag?
Shall sentiment plunge us into terrible
realities? Shall one man. Rear Admiral
Mayo have so much authority given him
that he may, upon his own Judgment
bring upon our nation a bloody and costly
war?
God forbid! II Is surely time for calm,
sober thought and a noble. Christian self
restraint on the part OF the American
people and their official representatives.

The Feminist Apartment House.

Jeers. long and loud will greet the Feminist
Alliance as It erects its happy home And calamity
may be its ultimate portion. A Brook Farm in Cen
trail Park would he scarcely difficult TO
manage.
Yet all Of us may live to learn from the expert
ment and much Of the plan is far from the untrod
path which at first blush it seems. Communstic
living In all its outward aspects has come a long
way in this concentrated town without any FEM
inists socialists to bring II about. The typical
apartment hotel here contains all the common
conveniences which the femnsts propose for
their apartment, only the creche FOR babies and
the schools for children AS for these last enter
prises 1t is worth noting that Nine Montessors
first schools in Italy arose out Of precisely simi-
lar necessity. She organized her House OF Child
hood for the children of tenement whose mothers,
OF necessity, had to be away at work all day
Running any cooperative enterprise, however, is
another and ticksh affair Moreover. most fem
insts OF our acquaintance are toleraby Individual
istc-certainly much so the average OF
human nature. And has often been pointed out,
the one real obstacle TO all communism Of every
description is exactly this COMPOUNDED human nature,
which is never alike in any two OF us.

George Alfred Townsend in the heyday OF his
activities was journalist Of much force and orig
inality He was individual in his methods and his
style sometimes ran to eccentricty Yet in his long
career as a political writer versifer. historian and
novelist he held fast to one very sound idea. That
was that ar American journalist should know thor
oughly the history of his country.
He made laborious study OF American public
men back to the Colonial period visited their birth
places burial places, absorbed anecdotal material
about them and was able 10 make them live again
wildly In their surroundings He had the 'zest and
patience OF antiquarian in his reproductions OF
the figures Of the past. One Of his historical
novels-"Katy of Catoctin'-a story Of John Brown S
raid on Harpers Ferry and Of John Wilkes
Booths assassination Of Lincoln, is crude In
construction and scattering in effect. Yet In its
fidelity to local color and In the use OF historical
material It Is admirable It had IN It almost the
makings Of the yet unrealized true American his
torical novel
This touch has been too rare a one in American
Journalism. Mr. Townsend stood apart in develop
ing 1t and should be remembered for it. He wrote
a vast amount Of matter but put into great deal
of it racy freshness due entirely to his afectionate
interest in everything that touched American his

Privilege.

The modern definition Of privilege is getting to he
anything some else has and haven't, and
this definition so amablc an aspect, il is so
conSOnant with the eternal fitness Of things that it
has prevailed upon no less man than Mr.. Bryan
himself. For Mr.. Bryan, while travelling the
try in the interests Of peace, has impressed his
hearers that the railroads. the trusts, indeed the
moncyed classes generally, march under the banner
Of privilege; they take that TO which they have no
right, and thus rob the plain people But he, while
he turns out competent and experienced ministers
and ambassadors, and replaces them with his per-
sOnal friends: or while he rescs at Cbautauquas

the piiifnl price of $1,000 year he, say, does
not exercise privilege He merely exempllfies In
courageous and benevolent practice, THE Scriptural
profundity that n man can do IA he will with his
own.
In short is pressed 10 the conclusion that
there should be one rule of conduct for the great
fellow and another for the rest Of the public Mr..
Bryan should preach and the public should practise.
Indeed were he tied down 10 the observance Of his
own prcccpts his hatred Of privilege might wither
away. and without II where would lie be! How
could there bc any lectures If Mr. Bryan did that

and scorned us.
Then succeeded Mr.. Glynn. 1t was a
tense and anxious moment for the heart
sick people Of the state. Would he
measure up to the opportunity? No
man ever had such possibility for
greatness thrust upon him. Fair and
heartening words he uttered and sigh
of relief went up from eager hearts from
the Battery to Buffalo. The people and
the press were ready 10 support him.
Hope for the redemption Of the state
began TO dawn. But alas, If he spoke
like patriot, he acted like a petty po-
litical trimmer. Dix was a weakling,
Sulzer a blatherskite and Glynn has
proved 10 be pygmy. He confused
petty politics with craftsmanship. And
the pathos OF the thing IS. he thought
he was being a statesman. Such ap-
parently is his constitution that he
could not recognize the difference be-
tween the two. There IS no more pa
thetic figure in modern history than
that OF Glynn strutting about in the
armor Of Tilden. Cleveland and Hughes;
armor forged by the genius of the En-
pire State for men big enough to match
her greatness. And the present Gov
ernor thinks the armor fits him.
The result is that Murphy, who was
utterly repudiated in New York City In
November has regained control OF the
state. Public service is demoralized.
Corruption oozes from almost every de-
partment. Grafters and hooters so I'M
whipped OF justice and the expenses OF
the administration are soaring skyward.
But what Of the future? Is there any
hope OF relief?
Parties are simply instruments for gov
eminent. They are not ends In them
selves but means to an end. A party has
a right TO live only so long rs II serves
a larger end. IT IS not essential that
either the Republican or Progressive or
PLANTATIONS live. II IS essential that the
State of New York shall live or progress.
And the surest lease either the Republi-
can or Progressive party can have on
long life Is TO forget itself in seeking the
larger life Of the state.
II is an unwritten article in the faith
OF the people that a crisis develops, pro-
duces, calls forth leaders. The time OF
crisis is here. The people are looking
for a leader. not some self-constituted,
self-conceited party organizer. not some
ambitious aspirant who by his selfishness
has helped to produce the crisis. but some
clear-eyed clean-souled. broad-minded
man. who can understand. interpret and
emoody into laws and methods the yearn-
ing of good men and women for clean
efficient. economical and progressive gov
eminent in the state.
The State OF New York cries:
Give me men TO match my mountains,
Give me men TO match my plains
Men with empires I'm their purpose
And new eras in their brains
And no pygmies need apply.
