The Dangers Of Drilling.

How many cults, crankeries, and
isms may be traced to the great
mother cult of incompetence that
seems to have mystic attraction for
a certain type of mind! To no
other source can the objection to
physical training for school chill
dren be attributed. The Women's
Peace Party, which Is raising such a
hubbub against the preparedness
measures signed the other day by
Governor Whitman, Is surely lack
ing in members with a sense of
proportion when'it seeks to find a
subtle spiritual peril to children in
twenty minutes daily physical ex-
inciudes many cultivated and in
teliigent persons. Which helps to
show how dangerous is intelligence
unmitigated by a sense OF humor.

The Democracy of Women.

The old query as to the priority OF
the chicken or the egg is raised by
the biennial convention of the wom-
EMS clubs. which opens tomorrow In
the Seventh Regiment Armory In
Manhattan. But whether the woman
movement started the clubs or the
clubs started the woman movement,
two will meet and blend as one
force in this great convention which
represents 100000 clubwomen OF the
country.
The spirit which the convention ex-
presses Is the democracy of women.
a force which has become full grown
In the quarter century since this
federation was organized. and during
which 1t has grown to include 5000

zation which women controlled. and
