In the Linelight
BY George Perry Morris.

Former Minister to Denmark
Maurice r. Egan. says that Of course
American women sooner or later
will enter the diplomatic service and
take their Places as Ministers and
Ambassadors serving Uncle Sam. In
theory he is right. quite logical, and
probably sure Of practical proof OF
his theory ere he dies. You and ]
know many women competent to
give points to men diplomats, either
| of the old school or the new school
type, and then beat them at their
| own game. Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait or Miss Mary Garrett Hay
would make some of our present
representatives at European courts
dizzy with mingled envy and mortifi-
cation.
: Conservative Presbyterians of the
older generation will note with
sympathetic regret the death OF
Rev. Charles A. Stoddard. He never
had the brilliancy. as an editor OF
the New York Observer. which, his
predecessor, the famous Irenaeus
| Prime, showed but he kept the
journal running on even. orthodox
keel until the religious press of the
country entered the stage of dol
drums soon after the new century
dawned. The Observer was the
weekly that for so many years
printed two sections, one to be read
on Sunday and the other on week
days. Life was dualistic then. To
become Informed on Sunday as to
events in Washington or London
was wicked. What happened cen
turies ago in Babylon. Jerusalem
Rome or Corinth il was virtuous to
know.
The cause of rsychicaI research
in this country has had more IA

| Hyslop, but none more arduous
and insistent in investigation, fol-
| lowed by propaganda work. Liti-
cation now before the New York
courts discloses that he is laid
aside by a severe hemorrhage of
the brain. shutting off power of
speech. But if he can continue to
! write he will, for he and the cause
are one.

] the harrow of civil war of an indus
trial sort such as the California
ports have known and IL the cam

companies against the truck men and
longshoremen is to- be fought on the
California model, then shrewd judg-
ment has been shown in importing
