public acts that
support it in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Texas, and
it is well that the degree of truth it contains be
recognized.

The Macon _Telegraph_ finds a reason for the conditions thus described.

The _Telegraph_ feels disposed to remark in this connection
that for three-quarters of a century there has been entirely
too much boasting about Southern "gentlemen" and Southern
"chivalry."

A gentleman does not call attention to his own virtues, and
neither should a section through its orators and newspapers
boast incessantly of its superiority to the rest of the
world in its treatment of women.

The result of it all has been that too many Southern youth
have imagined that they had nothing to learn, and too many
Southern men have regarded themselves as gentlemen and
supposed that they were brimming over with "chivalry" when
nothing of the sort was true.

And there is another side to this question which should be
mentioned in justice to all concerned. In our day
respectable women are by no means all of the class described
as the saintly angels of the home, who rouse all the
chivalrous instincts of a gentleman, whether he be a
resident of South Carolina, South Dakota, or Kamchatka.

In our day women are facing men as competitors in business
and in the professions. The modern woman of the advanced
type refuses to be longer regarded as a gentler and
saintlier type of humanity, who must be petted, reverenced,
and protected. She prefers to renounce her former
superiority of a certain kind for an equality which
essentially involves a different plane of communication.

That all this foreshadows a certain modification of the
old-time approved relations between the sexes is as obvious
as it is inevitable.

WHAT WE ARE DOING TO THE RED MAN.

Recent Abolishment of Tribal Rule in Indian
Territory Will Have Powerful
Effect for Good or Ill.

Are we all to be Indians? There are ethnologists who say that in
successive generations the features of Americans are gradually succumbing
to the persistent influence of their climatic environment; that a few
centuries will see us a race, high-cheek-boned, Roman-nosed.

Frederick R. Burton touches the question in the London _Sphere_. He says:

As I have studied the Indian in the field I have been
interested in speculating--
