"The peace and quiet of the old

people that is slowly but surely
changing its definition of religion"

know the closed Sunday in Pittsburg,
and I know the open Sunday in
Paris. France. In Paris I discover
cd as much genuine piety as / ever
discovered in Pittsburg.
Naturally we of the churches ia
yor strict Sabbath laws when think
ing chiefly of our own interests, and
we are loath to seem to argue against
ourselves. But when we overcome
prejudice we certainly are not un-
mindful of tn emany thousands who
do not care to worship just as We do.
None of us keep the Lords Day as
was originally done. Times change.
So long as man gives one-seventh of
ais time to the spiritual demands of
ais nature it is his own business as
20 when, where and how he does so.
The true Christian will never be dis
-Urbed. if he has within himself the

Women COmplicatc Subject.
This subject. like the question of
prohibition, is greatly complicated
by the increasing participation of
xomen in public affairs. Not because
women are better than men, but be-
sause they have been misguided in
she matter of moral reform. In the
sirst place they can only be reckoned
Sith; they can not be reasoned with.
Time and experience will teach the
Eomen of this country that they
must not get too naughty in telling
men what to do. Our best women
already realize that their conquests |
must be in the realm of love and |
moral suasion. In Pennsylvania we
dave Just had a remarkable expe- |
rience in the shape of recent pri-
mary election. 1t is said the women
put Clifford PinchOt across as the
Republican gubernatOrial candidate. |
Mr.. Pinchot himself says so. But |
this only partially analyzes the situa-
sion. Personally l am for Mr.. Pin
ehot, and my opinion is not biased |
when | say it took more than the
woman vote to nominate Pinchot in
che Pennsylvania primaries. The
women can not get anybody into Of
lfcs themselves included, if the men
are against it. Pinchot's power in
was latent in his ideal
ism and enthusiasm plus his asso-
citation in the past with the pictur-
psque Roosevelt. Thus there was
added to his Endorsement by the wo-
men of the state the Endorsement of

Must Consider Intuition.
THE only new political factor that
las been introduced is that our prac-
ical politicians must now take into
.ccount the well-known intuitive
aculty of the feminine mind. This
S real and not a fancy. 1t is rooted
n wOman's emotional nature. The

ier heart at the expense of her head.
t we ever have woman President

bundled on force, and no matter how
many peace conferences are held the

iolitical office whatever if men as
class were against her. Every
Iractical politician knows that if
hey wanted to do so men could keep
very woman in the land out of Of
ies.
