Defends Wilson From Common Charge
of Going to Paris to Seek Personal Qualification

This representation cruel. He went to Europe
through his stern of duty to the nation and to
those whom he sent Europe to offer their lives for
humanity.
Having this high conception of his position and of
government this selfish and objective state of mind he
had deep suspicion of the ordinary run of profes-
sonal politicians and innate hostility to them. They
appeared to him have primarily merely selfish in
terest in the and to be determined to use
only for personal ends and the ends of their friends
and adherents He could easily bring himself to take
interest in the socitude of Senators and Congressman
for their political fences and their desire to keep them
in order by seeking local and national positions for
their party supporters.

First Robin Teaches Humanity to Hope

Green Republic imploring the national
government to step in and save them
from the onslaught Of criminals, who
are in league with city officials, with
these things staring at us we may well
ask, What shall the harvest be-"
SALVATION is NEAR.
But our salvation is nearer than we
think. Hear the rat-tat-tat Of the
robin, the unscared call Of the crow,
watch the warm coloring in the sun
rise sky. Witness the strange, new
force that is even now beginning to
show itself in the tender grass, the
laughter of the children and the al
most bursting buds, ,and learn that
there can be but one outcome Of the
struggle, the triumph Of beauty, truth
and good.
A bat said to a sunbeam, ave just
found the darkest place on earth. Come
with me and I'll show it to you"
When the sunbeam reached the spot
there was no darkness, and the bat
said, "Uh!"

BIRDS UNDISTURBED.

IF VIC drop the prefix "Miss' from
1 the names Of unmarried women,
as some, chiefly women who have
achieved singleness, demand, what
shall we call them?
Anything" they answer, anything
or nothing; il only we are not branded
or exalted, as you like to put it, as
being husbandless.
II is unfair to present man at
a large party simply as Mr." and
let him fox trot and Charleston
through four hours and besiege a
dozen hearts, without giving a hint OF
his attached state until a stout wom-
an with a severe expression cuts in
on the last dance and says, Its time

awake" And to proclaim a woman's
state at once as miss" or Mrs" on
introduction. The last title with the
covert hint in it that she has missed
a mate, even though she may be in
wardly exulting that she has escaped
one.
DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
Granted that it is as unfair to
tag a woman maid or wife as surely
as though she were a sandwich man
carrying through the streets the adj
vertisement of a restaurant, what
shall we call her?
Shall We address women without
prefixes to their names? 1t would
be awkward to salute that statuesque
blonde rs "Jane" the moment after
meeting her. Or that brunette with
the charming curves as "Mollie" be,
fore she has begun her proud boast
ings that she has three children, the
youngest twins.
Revive the old custom of calling a
woman Dame" or "Goodwife" Ar
chaic aud not pretty. Walters and
baggagemen play safe aud solve the
delicate problem by calling any and
all Of US lady" but the word has
lost its vogue. 1t cracks.
"SEN0RA" SUGGESTED.
Janet Scudder, the sculptor, her
self one Of the never married, says
that Mrs. and Miss are unmusical
titles. She thinks that no woman could
object to the melodious "Senora.
That argument disposes Of the one
time title, applied to the married and

sibilant word.

The gigantic crime of the tragedy

Better than all religion and all
philosophy is the simple fact that the
natural order of which the robins and
crows are a part is but a symbol of
that other and higher order to which
man belongs-man with his ideal of
righteousness, and his vague but sim
cere and uncompromising longing for
the better-to-be.

stTHIS letter was written a few
L months back by Oscar Wilde,

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who made
this remark as casually as if he
were talking of the weather or the re-

the museum he has just established
in Victoria Street, London, in the
shadow of Westminster Abbey, as a
permanent and tangible record of
some Of the outstanding phenomena
Of spiritualistic research of the past
fifty years.
He took down from the wall A
frame containing a letter written to
him in life by Wilde and asked me
to compare it with the strangely
similar writing in the document al
luded to above. The spirit letter had

Of lady in Chelsea, who, up to the

WRITING is SIMILAR.
There are peculiarities in the writ
ing common to both letters little curls
and twists that suggest indisputably
that both were written bv the same
hand. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is
mistaken in his belief of its genuine
ness.
But then, as Sir Arthur insisted,

to serve them.
