Women Among the Clergy

Are women fit to be clergy? The
question has at last presented itself
to the English Church as one that is
worth discussing. Certain conces-
sions to feminists have already been
made. Women are now permitted to
take humble part in the councils
OF the Church. They may make
addresses from the pulpit" but
they may not, so far, take "holy or
ders," and lest this taboo be removed
certain OF the clergy are earnest in
defense of it.
Conservatives on the woman cues
ton are more frank in England
than they are with us. In this coun-
try persons who dislike the notion
CT a woman IN the pulpit are apt to
seek out some such ground of obiec-
ton as the preponderance of women
among church attendants and their
nabltuation to the stimulus of a
priest of the opposite sex. But the
Rev. Basil Bourchier, a war chap-
lam OF the Church of England, saws
bluntly that women are not capa-
bic Of the practice of holy orders. :,
and the Rev T. w. Knight, second
lng the assertion. explains that it's
because they haven't the brains

lures Of emotion

MIR. Hylan's Vision

Mayor Hylan's subway program
lives up to expectations. 1t is rose
ate with rainbow promises--prom-
ises which a Mayor burdened by no
responsibility for their fulfillment
can make with the utmost cheerful
ness. as o political campaign ap-
proaches.
Mr.. Hylan has had the local rapid
transit situation on his hands for
many years. In his first term he
did nothing to relieve congestion, ex-
eept to start few surface bus lines.
He produced no constructive ideas,
and because of that failure the
Legislature shunted him aside and
created the Transit Commission.
This commission is proceeding in a
businesslike way to give the city the
additional facilities which are so
sadly needed. So far it has cncoun-
tered nothing but opposition from
the Mayor.
Its success, however, has evidently
impressed Mr.. Hylan, who has eer-
tain measure Of political scumen
and imagination. Why not steal it's
clothes and pose as subway builder,
instead of a bus line opener and
critic of subways? The commits
sion's additions to the rapid transit
system would cost $21S,000, 900,
Mr.. Hylan, divested of power to do
anything but bushwhack the COM
missions plans, springs into the
arena with a scheme to spend $780,
100000 on new facilities.
The Mayor grudgingiy comedies
that the Transit Commission cannot
be waved aside by the mere filing
Of his report. The Legislature must
intervene to set up a Hylanized con-
troll of the transit situation. Therein
lies the Mayors safety and also his
opportunity for political martyrdom
The Legislature has had some ex-
perience with him and he has had
some experience with it. Each can
say when they clash, "My spear
knows no brother"
Everybody may be invited to q
free trip ON subways which exist
only in the imagination. Election
Day is. two months off. Mr.. Hylan's
passes will remain good till then tc
