DECALOGUE FOR MEN ONLY
WELL KNOWN EDITOR ATTENDS
WOMEN'S CLUB MEETING AND
MAKES SUCH A HIT HE IS INVIT
ED TO TEA.
New York, Feb. 26. That women
really have souls was what Colonel
George Harvey, editor of the North
American Review and Harper's Week
ly, set out to prove at the Woman's
University club. It was the regular
monthly reception of the club, and Col
onel Harvey was the guest of honor.
The one hundred women present did
not know what side he was going to
take on the question, and after he had
come out so strongly in favor of the
theory that women have just as much
soul as men, he was invited to stay
and take tea and shake hands with the
audience.
The press committee denied that the
Women's University club had had any
doubts on the question, and that Colo
nel Harvey had been asked to reascure
the members. The press committee,
through its representative, said that
Col. Harvey had been invited to say
something to the club, and had said It.
They were pleased, however, by the
turn his remarks had taken.
Back to Greek Dictionary.
Miss Elizabeth B. Cutting, president
of the club, in introducing Colonel
Harvey .said that, no matter what he
might argue on the question, still the
members of that crganization could
always go back to the Greek dictionary
and find that the gender of the soul
was not masculine nor common, but
feminine.
Considering the authorities on the
subject, Colonel Harvey first noted
that Genesis does distinctly place tne
THINKS NEW YORK IS
VERY INSOLENT CITY
vm 1
F. Hopkinson Smith, the eminent
author, artist and engineer, who de
clares that the city of New York is
the most insolent city in the world.
In addressing the New York Southern
society he eulogized the old fash
ioned gentlemen and declared that in
Gotham it is almost impossible to
find courtesy in policemen, street-car
conductors, or waiters, or any others
who come in contact with the public.
He accused the spread of commercial
ism of being responsible for this position.
woman as a subordinate and dependent
of man, denying her a soul. That be
ing so he set out to demolish Genesis
as a thoroughly reliable authority on
that or any other subject. Genesis
was a composite of stories full of in
consistencies and contradictions, de
clared Colonel Harvey. More, it was
of Babylonish origin, coming into be
ing after a large number of colonists
from Babylon had come over into Isra
el. Women Worked on Sunday.
The lecturer called attention to the
fact that the Commandments apply to
man exclusively. The fourth, for in
stance, prohibits work of a Sunday to
all the members of the family except
the woman. The head of the house is
told that even the servants must not
labor on that day. Folks must eat
a fact that even the Bible concedes
and so the wife wa3 delegated to see
to that or any other necessary work
that had to be done on Sunday.
It has been argued, went on Colonel
Haiyey, that the "thous" in the fourth
commandment includes both the hus
band and wife, and thus the writer
didn't need to specify the woman in
the prohibition. That could not be
true argued the lecturer, because the
ninth commandmenr, which also uses
"thou," does not. include the wife; for
one of the things that the man is not o
covet among the property of his neigh
bor, is his wife.
Colonel Harvey could not bring
forward any of the most ancient au
thorities in relation to spinsters. In
those days, it appeared, every woman
was married, men having as many
wives as they could take care of or get.
Hence, nobody said a word about old
spinsters one way or the other.
Spinisters Not Considered.
In the Decalogue, the lecturer point
ed out, there is no recognition of wo
man's possession of a soul or any in
herent rights. She did not have to
suffer any punishment, however; the
head of the house had to stand all
that.
In spite of this biblical authority
against women having souls, Colonel
Harvey, sweeping through science and
religious writings, other than biblic
al, found plenty of warrant for be
lieving they have inherent rights and
souls just as much as a man.
Persian, Parsee, Hindoo. Etruscan,
and many other ancient religious writ
ers the speaker quoted to show that at
the creation men and women were
born simultaneously and with equal
inherent rights. (No applause. It
was said there were no suffragists
present.) Nature, too, recognized
man and woman as equal and with the
same inherent rights, went on Colonel
Harvey, and it would be strange 'f
here the laws of God and the laws cf
nature stood in opposition to each
other. They so stand thus nowhere
else, he Faid.

Corner of Ninth and Main Streets
(Harper's Weekly.)
In so far as the administration has
shared in the main fault and derelic
tion of the party, it ought, of course,
to share in the reprobation. Its
share in the fault we take to have
been this: That at the outset the pres
ident decided to trust and co-operate
with the established leaders of con
gress, men opposed at heart to any
real reform of the tariff, instead of the
men who, though without such power,
stood sincerely and unequivocally for
revision downward, and that he stuck
with only too much loyalty to his
original alliances, throughout the spe
cial session and afterward. While it
may be true that the concessions he
thus obtained were about all he could
have obtained from such a congress,
the country feels that by a more un
compromising stand he could have won
at least as much for the cause imme
diately, and left it in a better way for
future struggles.
This error, originally of judgment,
is also the first item in the account
of those who, as Republicans, express
dissatisfaction with their administra
tion. The other principal items are a3
follows:
The president, havirg appointed
BaHinger to his cabinet, has been too
loyal to him, as to Aldrich, and too
loath to see and act upon the evidence
which tends to show him an unfit mat.
for the place. He has thus made him
self largely responsible for any dam
age Ballinger may have done to the
cause of conservation, and possibly
for injustice to Glavis and other tn
thusiasts for that policy. During his
prolonged absence from the capital he
permitted the painful Crane episode to
occur a thing which, though little un
derstood, is vaguely resented for this
and other reasons the state as well as
the interior department is under fire.
In the matter of appointments, it is
charged, too great i-ower has been giv
en to Mr. Hitchcock, and there has
been a disposition to discriminate
against progressive congressmen and
senators, besides other sorts of manip
ulation. On broade- lines the dissat
isfaction culminates in the accusation
of luliewarmness toward what are
known as the Roosevelt policies par
ticularly conservation and the effect
ive control of combinations.
Putting the case for the defense
still more briefly, the last charge may
be dismissed as simply untrue, unless
it be conceded that violence is the on
ly true devotion. The question of Mr.
Hitchcock and the patronage Is un
doubtedly an open one. and more light
on it is heartily to be desired; but
judgment must be suspended until
there is more light. The same must
be said of the Crane episode; and while
there is ample ground for criticising
Mr. Knox's course with Nicaragua and
with Japan and Russia, it is by no
means clear that we must pronounce
him a failure as the head of his great
department. The appointment of
Ballinger may at once be pronounced
unfortunate politically and in every
other way. The criticism of tta? ad
ministration in reference to the tariff
will stand, and the error of judgment
seems to" us very grievous; but with
this must go the admission that no oth
er republican administration ever dar
ed as much as this one for tariff re
form. There will remaU on the credit side
of the account a number of items not
here alluded to. particularly a south
ern nolkv for which the country
should be grateful. But the time for
final summing up and comparisons
has. of tourse, not yet come.
