The game was pitchers battle

Luther came back in the 9Th with /,
tieing it up, and it remained this way

Luther's half of the 10th they sue

A HUSBANDS CONFESSION.

Yesterday Mirandy voted,
But so far l haven't noted
That she's sprouted any whiskers or
adopted trouseretts;
And she hasn't indicated
Since she's got emancipated,
That she means to start out railing
with bunch of suffragetts.
Took her half an hour to do 1t,
And as soon as she was thru it,
She went bustling home without a
stop to scrub the pantry
floor;
Cooked the dinner, did some bak-
ing,
Trimmed a dress she was making,
Mended socks and got the ironing all
done by half past four.
She appears to be as able
To keep the victuals on the table,
And to keep the moths from feeding
on my go-to meeting coat
Just as handy with the baby
Cor a little more so maype)--
AS she was before they told her wo-
man ought to have the vote
Far as I've observed Mirandy
She is just as fond of candy
And as keen to read the fashions
and the daily household
hints
AS before she was my equal"
And-however strange the sequel
I've been just trifie prouder of Mir
andy ever since!

weeks illness from pleurisy and
pneumonia.

| of Mr.. and Mrs. James Smalley. She

ship since. One son, Raymond, was
born to the union, who with the be-
reaved husband, her parents and
four brothers survive.
The passing of this beloved wo-
man is deeply regretted by all who
knew her. She was possessed of a
beautiful character and enjoyed the
confidence and goodwill of all in an
extensive circle of friends in the com
munity where her entire life had
been spent, and her taking away just
in the prime of life is a severe blow
to the bereaved husband and son,
who have the sympathy of all in their
loss.
The funeral services will be held
today Wednesday at twelve o'clock
from the home and one o'clock from
the Burr Oak M. E. church. Rev.

The Egg Boycott
Or of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: You speak editorially of an egg boy
colt to bring down the price of eggs. Just
consider one or two things that make for the
high price. First, the high cost of feed;
second, the scarcity of eggs-real fresh-not
storage.
During October and November the hen
changes from her last seasons dress into a
new one, which requires all her vitality, and
she gives little thought to egg laying; this
is called moulting. During this moulting
season she must eat, and to feed such hen
or flock requires the proper amount Of food
and if the food is at top prices during this
period naturally a price for the few eggs
collected must be asked
Now, suppose you boycott the egg, what
will happen? When the people start in
again they will have to pay price 20 make
up for the two weeks vacation, not only the
egg eaters, but the baker and other users Of
eggs will have TO pay price, as they will
get better grade, the poorest grades being
destroyed.s
If you want to have cheap fresh eggs-not
storage-you must reduce the cost Of feed
and prevent the hens from moulting
Many poultrymen try to raise early chicks
so that the pullets can lay during this off
season. Some day this difficulty will be
overcome, and then only the price Of feed
will have to be taken care of.

The Under-Paid Professor

The hard life of the under-paid college
professor is an old story. But this time
worn subject received more than passing
attention at the recent meeting of the
alumni of Cornell University. Possibly
the increased cost of living has so reduced
the purchasing power of the instructors
scanty income as to cause an actual crisis.
Possibly some of our university educated
men, like Marcus Aurelius, have developed
a sense of gratitude for their old instruc-
tors and have become ashamed Of their
habitual neglect. In any case, it is safe
to say that the financial condition of Cor
nell professors differs very little from that
existing in other colleges.
There seems to be an accepted tradition
in this country that teacher as a matter
of course should give the best years of his
life to the service of society and never
think about anything so material as
money. The public regards the educator
as an idealist, whose job it is to practise
the virtue of poverty vicariously for the
rest of us. He is "an intellectual" an
impractical person who has chosen his
profession out of sheer love of knowledge
and should OF course be satisfied with his
ethereal reward. If the public itself
showed any adequate appreciation of the
things for which the teacher makes his
financial sacrifice his situation might De
endurable. 1t is possible to imagine a So
ciety in which such honorable poverty
would be held in universal respect But
the present life of the United States, with
its idolatry Of the power Of wealth, is not
yet that kind of a society. America has
not yet learned to respect scholarship at
its true value. The public still looks upon
education chiefly as means to increased
industrial efficiency and greater income.
Success is commonly measured in terms of
dollars. The instructor who labors from
ideal motives is called a "highbrow." A
commercially minded public rates him as
mere Fifteen hundred dollar a year man."
Brains are cheap in the market; it is
push, will power, and organizing ability
that count"
College professors are altogether too
meek. They have let a cynical public take
them at their word. What if they should
turn around and take the public at its
word? Let them stand up for themselves,
and demand their rights as others do. Why
not present the claims Of higher education
in such terms as the public can under
stand? Why not organize professors
labor union, threaten strike, say just be-
fore the football season. which would tie
up all our educational institutions, force
a Federal statute through Congress, and

THE LOSS OF MRS. BOISSEVAIN

n tho Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the death of Inez Milholland Bots
sevain the cause of humanity has lost an ap-
pealing and able pleader.
Mrs. Boissevain's contributions to the
woman's cause were many and varied. They
included time money and talent, the service
Of a highly trained intellect and a devotion
and an enthusiasm that were contagious But
none of these equalled the contribut'' Of her
charming personality. In other ords, II
Mrs. Bossevain had been unendoweN'with IN
tellect, influence, wealth and social promi-
nence her marvellous physical attractions
would have been asset to the suffrage
cause, for she spelled youth and beauty into
the suffrage movement at the psychological
moment That moment was when the mass
of the people were forced to take notice OF 1T
on account of the activities Of the women OF
England and were thinking none too kindly
Of il on that account.
Moreover, the amount Of information pos
sessed by the average individual in regard
to suffrage was slight and usually consisted
OF mental picture of sour-vsaged female
far gone in years and affecting mannish style
of dress. Sixty years Of effort on the part
Of prejudiced cartoonists had done its work
great part played by women in the American
Revolution, in the early educational move
ment, the anti-slavery agitation, temperance
work. the peace movement and later the in
dustrial struggle had seen the work of the
cartoonists and believed that suffrage and
other public spirited movements were advo-
Gated not only by the eccentric in intellect
but the equally eccentric in appearance. Few
know and fewer cared to learn that Mary
Wostonecraft, Frances Wright, r. Ernestine
Rose, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton were among the most beautiful
women Of their day.
Mrs. Boissevain lived in happier time.
She knew. too, that none OF the work which
she was always willing to do, whether trivial
or serious, lost anything when performed by
woman as interesting and attractive as
herself
There are many wonderful women in the
suffrage movement, but few with varied
talents as Inez Mlholland. Her beauty, the
exquisite charm of her manners, her simple
ity, her sympathy for the poor and oppressed,
her courage in advocating their cause and
her ability in defending it will stimulate and
inspire for years many of those who had the
good fortune to know her. SARA M'PIKE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: During the decade 1s50-60 an educa-
tional movement for industrial universities
was carried forward that resulted in the
famous Land Grant Act Of 1852. In investi-
eating the part that certain leaders had in
this great work we have had occasion to seek
letters of correspondence between Professor
Jonathan B. Turner and the late Senator
Lyman Trumbull. Three letters have been
found that show tina, these men were in close
upon this subject during the
months Of October, 1857, to February, 1853.

An Inspiring Figure

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The suffrage cause has lost one Of its
able and beloved workers in the death of
Inez Milholland.
She was a pioneer suffragist in New York
City. or at least she was among those who
brought the movement before the public.
When we started the Womens Political
Equality Association Mrs Boissevain's vigor-
Gus youth and unbounded enthusiasm were
no small factor in making that club sue
cess. In every stunt" that could be con
ceived to make the club attractive and to
bring the work before the public Inez Mil
holland, as she will Away be called by suf-
fragists. was the central and inspiring figure.
Her sweet smile and winning ways were as
effective in winning votes as the arguments
of many speakers.
In the first suffrage political victory in
the 9th Assembly District, when the sutfra-
gists defeated Senator Agnew and Assembly
man Dana, Inez Milholland bore the brunt of
the street campaigning.
She was among those who did real work
Tor the benefit of her fellow women, and
believe she should be given public funeral
and that a monument be erected to her
There is only one monument in New York
erected to a woman, to the late Mrs. Jose
ohine Shaw Lowell, on account OF her chart
table work Inez Milholllnd typifies the
new order, a woman who sacrificed her life
to make charity unnecessary for persons who
really wished to help themselves.

Unmerry Christmas

Those who care nothing at all for what
does not fall within their own circle Of &C
ouaintances "set," is the unpleasant
word. we suppose--can scarcely be ex-
pected TO do their Christmas shopping
early. A plea TO think of shop girls means
exactly as much to such as a plea for FIJI
Islanders. Fortunately, however, hope
lessly benighted people are the exception
Most New Workers, like most Americans,
have a downright, friendly interest in hui
mankind. They are too busy to do any
thing in particular; and goodness knows
what you can do, anyhow. But they are
sure that their heart is in the right place;
and it probably is. If we can ever decide
what to do and just how to focus all the
nebulous good will in the world upon some
practical goal of good works, the world
will doubtless leap for JOY.
In the meantime, while waiting for the
millennium, Christmas is upon us. With
it comes not only merriness for children
and most grown-ups, but also the cruel
ONcrStTaln INdL MERRY Cil SiSIiiiiSS
to those who work in shops. Here is
specific piece of wickedness directly under
our noses. 1t is personifed in every tired
face behind a counter. If you wish TO
know specifically how such tiredness works
out at home in sickness and downhearted-
ness, you have your o. Henry and your
Fannie Hurst to paint the picture for you
Or you can use your own Imagination
The facts are unquestioned And this
particular piece of wickedness is quite as
much your work as if you contributed pen
MES to fund to purchase bundles of
wretchedness and sickness to be distributed
among shop girls on Christmas morning.
On the other hand, if you will sit down
to-day, plan your Christmas shopping and
90 do it forthwith you will help to bring
more real Christmas cheer to more people
than all your presents can possibly do.
And you will be saving yourself worry and
confusion and discomfort For, as in all
good works, in one way or another, you
will be doing yourself quite as much good
as ANYBODY else.

"The Great Parallel"
Tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The Tribune's editorial entitled "The
Great Parallel" brings to mind a personal
experience When the Democratic National
Convention met in 1864 | was in the United
States General Hospital, at Fairfax Semi
nary, Va, recovering from a wound received
at Cold Harbor. | got paper one day con-
tanning the Democratic platform and began
10 read aloud 10 my comrades in the ward;
when ! came TO the resolution declaring the
war to restore the Union failure and recon-
mending a cessation of hostilities and con-
vention to settle the terms of peace | began
70 feel a lump in my throat and was obliged
TO stop reading. To such proposition there
was scant response among the soldiers, but
on the contrary indignant reputation of it
by most of them The only thing that saved
the Democratic soldiers pride was the fact
that General Mcclellan ignored this part Of
the platform in his letter of acceptance, and
declared that the Union was the sole condi-
tion of peace.
never saw soldiers more enthusiastic than
those at Depot Camp, Clifburne Barracks.
Washington, from which the recovered
wounded and sick were sent TO their various
regiments, in the winter of 1S64-'65. We
carried wood in our arms from a distant sup
ply; we cut il up with a dull axe we told
stories; we sang; we improvised debating
societies and religious meetings; we whitfield:
and through il all ran the undercurrent of
talk that the spring campaign would end the
war and bring peace and restored Union.
When, on January 81, Congress adopted
the amendment abolishing slavery, 100 guns
were fred "in honor Of the immortal and
sublime event" and can remember 70 this
hour how the roar of those guns set every
drop Of blood in my body a-tngling, and |
was eager 10 rejoin my regiment and have
a hand in the final struggle. j. NJ H.
