A woman will (ell you I hat intn an poor liftenci'H hecnuse they wain Inviting Opposition quite clear. An a mutter of fact, na ture in too strong for the theories of extremists, anil the testimony of the president of Bryn Muwr merely confirms this impression. With ull our progress In "eman cipation," it is strange that our popular current literature of novels anil plays still clings to. the old and everlasting theme of romance. When we see the masculine and man-hating Amazon installed as the regula tion heroine of fiction, we shall be anything that ready to admit that traditionoal no tions are old-fashioned, Hut she must be a real heroine, and not succumb j in lhe last act to the old-fashioned temptation of marriage. 'When a man eels half soaked he to do nil the lulkiiiK themselves; but the rise in sugars on the New York col tee and -. sugar exchange has reached such a pitch of aotivity and fat profits as to stir the envy of the habitues even of the wheat-pit and the cotton mart, not to mention the stock exchange. Already, indeed, it has so far succeeded as to start a retail buying panic umong the house wives of the country which works in perfectly with the best hopes of the manipulators. Nothing is easier to start than such a Danic. and no other bear pan'ic is so effective in licking up available supplies and getting them permanently qff the market. It illustrates the advantage which sugar speculators have over her as sin s.i i is down mid nisie at a operators on other exchanges, lecture hall or In church, cool as a Senator Brookhart of Iowa wants cucuiulicr: and then watch her hus- a congressional investigation, and baml as hi. slinks ni ter her.

Harry L. Bowlby, secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance, in New York a day or two ago. That is No. One for the list of finalities with which the impatient or intoler ant seeks to end an uncomfortable argument. "If you don't like - it, you can lump it," is another version. Of course, a great many persons will agree with the liev. Mr. Bowlby in his attitude of impatience with the. motives ho attrib utes to those who would "liberalize" Sunday observance. Although Sabbath-day recreations are now viewed more tolerantly than was the case of a few years ago, there is still little support , for the anti-blue law agitator who is suspected of mercenary 'motives. But, however understandable the impatience of the Rev. Mr. Iiowlby jiiay be) hi? intolerance in the long run is likely to prove costly to his cause. It is neither a sufficient nor a defensible ans- ii.m. ;i.,h .....1 ..l .. .. 1 I.. I. .11 I..

Those who refuse to obey a law are bad citizens, but those who attempt by legal processes to amend, modify of annul any specific law may bo very good citizens. . A better answer by the Rev. Mr. Iiowlby might be: "If you don't like the Sunday laws, just try to change them. See how far you can get." That sort of an answer would strengthen th position of the Lord's Day Alliance. A Lusty Young Republic While older nations of Europe continue their silly business of playing ducks and drakes with fortune and, future, the lusty young republic of Czccho-Slovakia goes its way of progress and prosper ity, balancing its budget, retiring its paper currency, improving the position of the krone, and sending a mission to Washington to Washington to arrange refunding and-payment of its debt to the i United States.

A better understanding anil appreciation of the worth to Hie individual is necessary. With the realization that the city's growth and development means individual growth anil develop ment, and more and better opportunities for their children, then will there be greater co-operation. It is difficult too strongly to impress the importance of the work that is necessary to be done. Teaching the theory of evolution in Oklahoma schools is for bidden.
