The following is quoted by permis sion of Pistorial Review from the first of a series of articles in which Dr. Harden, world famous wi*iter and inspirational philosopher, shows that the world of opportunity is now open to women and how they may best ad just themselves to it. “Superior physical strength and mental dominancy is the power that has made the laws and customs for civilization. Hence, the strong^er sex has always had the right of way and the weaker sex has been the sufferer. In the past, women have been much in the position of some of the small European countries which are the victims of stronger nations. Poland, for example, for generations, has not been able to assert and hold her rights because she holds her lifs at the will of the Russian government. Woman has been unable to assert and main tain her rights, but in the process of evolution, civilization is passing out of the muscle age, the brue force age, Lieutenant-Governor into the mental age, the spiritual age, ^ business with Castleman the age of freedom for self expres-.^^^ wring from him an sion. school tr&ining. The new opportunity that con;ftrpnts the woman of today calls loudly for the development of her strongest faculties, many of which have been comparaticely little used in the past. She must tap sources of power which have lain dormant in the female mind for centuries. The great army of women will no longer follow in tiie rear of the men, as in the past; they will be in the van themselves, and they must develop the qualities of leadership. The new discovety of woman has exploded the idea that while there are a thousand vocations open to half the race there is practically only one i. e. marriage and motherhood—or at most a trifling few, open to women.” Woman Figures in Hobbs Trial. Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 19.—A wo man was brought into the trial today of State Senator G. A. Hobbs, charg ed with soliciting and receiving a bribe from Stephen Castlemai^, of Belzoni, Miss. In outlinng its case to the court, the defense m.aintained One of the greatest social crimes that has ever been committed was man’s enslavement of woman. Think what it has meant to civilization to place under such a ban the luture mothers of the human race’. Instead of these dwarfing restrictions, ,sh3 should have had the greatest possible liberty, the best and gentlest care atV‘ consideration; she should have been placed in the most advantageous yo- sition because the destiny of the race depends on thee ondition of the moth er. Instead of falling along in the rear, the mothers should be first. They sliould receive the first considoiation as to their health, their comfort, their mental unfoldment, their well being, their happiness—because wrapped up in these is the fate of the race. The mothers should have the most con genial environment, because all of these influences are transmitted to the offspring. If man in the past regarded woman as his inferior, she was that only be cause his selfishness and his superior strength contributed to her inferior ity, keeping her in bondage and not giving her a fair chance for self ex pression. Man has at length discov ered that there is an Omnipotent Force at work in the evolution of the race—a force that makes for justice and right, and that woman in spite of his efforts to keep her where she could best serve him and his purposes, is gradually and surly coming into her own in just as complete and in dependent a manner as he is finding his place in the world. Many men in the past seemed to think that the Creator had compara tively little to do with woman’s sphere and that many should settle this. But men are learning the painful lesson that woman's sphere is wherever her talents, her natural bent, place her, and not where his own selfish inter ests, comfort and pleasure would keep her. admission that he offered a woman $2,500 to help pass his “new county” bill. Bilbo andd Hobbs are jointly indict ed on a charge of receivng $200 and agreeing to receive $2,000 more from Castleman in exchange for their vote and influence favoring a “new coun ty” bill in the next legislature. De fense attorneys maintained that Bilbo and Hobbs had heard Castleman offer to Mrs. H. L. Turnage $2,500 to aid him in the fight and that their only business with him was to force him to say that,he had done this. That was the reason Hobbs met Castleman several times at Bilbo’s suggestion, the defense maintained. Mrs. Turn age is editor of two newspapers in Mississippi and was postmistress of the House at the last session of the legislature. It was because of her alleged illness at this time, that the defense was for;ed to outline its case, now. The defense moved a contina- ance of the case on the j.round that one of the principal witness, Mrs. Turnage, was ill. The motion was overruled and the trial proceeded. At 8 o'clock tonight when court adjoiirned a jury had been complet ed. It is expected that taking of testimony v/ill be started tomorrow morning. Condemn Head of Junior Republic. New York, Dec. 17.—William R. George, founder of the George Junior Republic in Freeville, and a director of the National Association of George Junior Republics, was condemned to day by the state board of charities because of his allegel relations with girls in his institution. The board reached two important conclusions as the result of its inves- itgtiranioefgefin.5e taoi etaoininoinS tigation into the affairs of the Junior Republic. It recommended first that the gii‘ls be removed from the repub lic and that only boys be kept there. The oldtime activities which were Secondly, it recommended the elimi- once considered woman’s sphere are about all gone today. Woman's nat ural sphere keeps pace with progress and changes just as much as man’s sphere does. There is no sex in tal ent, no sex in genius. The average man had been so wed ded to his conviction that woman was made to serve him and that it was not intended that she should have a sepa rate, independent existence, that he had been unmindful of the great evo lution that had been going on in the gradual shifting of many a woman’s activities from home housekeeping to the nation’s housekeeping. He had been so blinded by his self-interest that he had not noticed the evolution that had been modifying the old tra dition of the relationship between men and women. The new economic independence of woman necessarily brings many new requirements and readjustments. It demands a more practical education and a very different sort of training, a viider outlook upon life. Practical nation of Mr. George from the man agement of the affairs of the republic. The decison of the state board fol lows a long investigation. The in quiry was made by special commit tee, and its report was approved by the full board, of which William R. Stewart is president. The work v/hich Mr. George has done in founding an institution that aimed to impress on wayward boys and girls the importance of their du ties to the State has been regarded as almost incalculable. He won a place among the foremost of the mean of great accamplishments in solving social problems. He quick ly received the cupport of the wealth iest people of the country. The de cision of the State Board of Charities will be a great blow to him. As a fact, already m.any persons who form erly gave lavishly to his projects have become alienated from him. The State Board has authority to remove the girls from the republic, whether the trustees of that organi training will be much more in evi- zation believe Mr. George guilty or dence in the future than finishing- not. Secondly, they can prevent mag istrates affld other offlcsals fi'om send ing boys to the institution. The word tif the Stat« Board is almost final in regard k> the distribution of funds to charitable and philanthropic projects. Mr. George is no longer actively connected with the Republic in Free ville, but he lives right next to it, and as a director in the national organi- vation he has an influence over the place. He is regarded as the “invis ible” governor of the Republic. The recommendation of the State Board was taken to mean that he must sev er his connection with the National Association. The decison of the State Board has aroused theanger of Emory R. Buck ner, attorney for Mr. George. He in sists that the State Board has taken snap judgment with the aim of dis counting the judgment of the investi gating committee composed of direc tors of the National Association of George Junior Republics and of the trustees of the Freeville Republic. It was said in authoritative sources tonight that the State Board of Char ities had received copies of all he evi dence gathered by the Special Com mittee of the National Association of George Junior Republics. Three charges were made against Mr. George before the Special Com mittee consisting of Justice Seabury, Joseph H. Choate and Lillian D. Wald. The first is that Mr. George had improper relations with a girl named Elsie Whitmore, 19 years old, when she was a member of the colony in 1907; that he was the father of her child, •Secondly, Mr George was accused of having proposed to a girl named Leah Klemm that she agree to mis conduct with a trustees of the Free ville institution. The third accusation is that he made a medical examination of Iva Temple, a member of the r oi »ny, al though Mr. George was not a doctor. wamm ms I CHURCH DIRECTS ] If marriage doesn’t take the con ceit out of a man nothing will. Love and kittens are born blind, but they soon get their eyes open. If a girl doesn’t get used to hav ing her heart broken by the time she is eighteen she never will. The millennium will never come until that grim tragedian the Pess imist, announces that this is positive ly his last farewell apeparance. The people who build castles in the air are constantly adding wings to them. Opportunity makes a man but only when he knows what to do with it. To sympathize vrith a woman, weep with her; to sympathize with a man, swear with him. There are two classes of small boys; the bad ones and the dead ones. Don’t worry about what the world thinks of you. The world has several billions of other people to think about. It isn’t a good plan to allow your regrets for yesterday to overshadow your hopes for tomorrow. It is just as well to remember that the school of experience isn’t a Sun day school. Prosperity also covereth a multi tude of sins. Virtue is its ovra reward, and hon esty is one of the greatest virtues. Never preach the doctrine of the survival of the fittest to those who don’t fit.
