CHARLES R. MILLER. The death of Charles Ransom Miller, editor of the New York Times, will be felt by many thousands of people who, perhaps, had never heard his name but whose opinions on the important questions of the day were influenced | without their knowledge, by the con- | elusions, the viewpoints of this man who brought learning, understanding, culture to his discussions of them. Little of his work in directing the pol- icies of that great newspaper, in pre- paring himselif to do that directing and in filling his mind with facts on which were founded the conclusions reached, was wasted. The people who profited, through him, by a fuller understanding of perplexing matters are the gainers, and, through their in- creased wisdom, the world is the gainer. Thus it is that the life of a man Miller, with its erudition and intelligence, enriches the world; his death deprives the world of a great asset. Those who rever knew him, learning of his death, will feel a sense of loss in the knowledge that one whose judgment has added to their ability to judge wisely for themselves will no longer help them personally will, in addition, feel that sense of loss which comes, with the death of such a man, to those honored by his friendship.

ZIONISTS FAIL IN THEIR BIG EFFORT British House of Lords Votes Down Measure to Set up Jewish Na- tion in Palestine Jerusalem, June 22.—(By Associat- ed Press)—Inhabitants of Palestine, Moslem and Christian, are Immeasur- ably pleased that the British house of lords yesterday passed the Islingten motion disapproving the Balfour de- claration of 1917. The native press is jubilant. The Balfour declaration pledged the erection of a Jewish homeland in Pal- estine. The resolution passed vester- day by a vote of 60 to 29 set forth that: “The mandate for Palestine in its present form is unacceptable to this house, because it directly violates pledges made by his majesty's go Those who knew him ]|t nment to the people of Palestine." The Zionists are disappointed at the news. They cabled strong protests to London. The chairman of the Zion- ists organization here sald to the As- sociated Press: “All our hopes have heen shattered on the rocks of political expediency. If the house of commons follows the ¢ad of the house of lords then Jews of the world will have been dealt a more staggering blow than that ad ministered hy the emperor Hadrian 1,800 years ago, when his persecutions brought about the last dispersion of the Jr» sh race."” PALESTINE MANDATE UP Decision to Have Today's Session of | | League Secret Causes Disappoint- ment to Those Interested.

Keeps Its Doors Locked to Them London, July 18.—Oxford Unjivers- ity now .admits women freely to its degrees and to university membership, but Cambridge still locks its doors against them, Naturally the women don't feel a bit grateful for such glimpses, They want the doors un- locked, The women from the Cambridge Colleges of Newnham and Girton have demanded admission to degrees and University membership on the same terms as men, Not long ago some 2,600 of them signed a petition to this efiect. The reply given by the Uni- versity was politg, but unsatisfactory. Within the last two years Cam- bridge has voted and couptervoted on various proposals to admit women. The only proposal which it has actual- ly carried—and to this practical ef- fect has not yet been given—is that women who are qualified for degree status may obtaln “titles of degrees,” but not real degrees, In making this half-hearted offer Cambridge is proposing to treat wom- en just as it formerly treated Jews and Nonconformists, whom also it tried to satisfy with the titular de- gree until Parllament stepped in and compelled the University to abolish its discriminations of creed. Now women want Parliament to in- tervens and compel Cambridge to abolish its discrimination against their sex. And signs are not lacking that Cambridge {tself is beginning to see that it will not pay to keep the wom- en knocking at their doors much long- er. A deputation consisting of several members of Parliament, the heads of Girton and Newnham Colleges and other friends of the movement recent- Iy talked with Mr, Fisher, Minister of Feducation The minister made f{t quite plain that he was on #he side of the women and would do all he could to persuade Cambridge to open its deors to them., Parliament also was undoubtedly on their side. Cambridge was looking for a grant from the ex- chequer, he said, but'it was not likely Parllament: would vote it while Cam- bridge continued to exclude women, If Cambridge found that by keeping women out the needed money also would be kept out she would probably quickly decide to let them {n. It ‘might not therefore become necessary to employ legislative pressure to force her to open her doors. HITCHCOCK-HOWELL CONTEST NEBRASKA Former Gets Democratic Nomination for Senator, Latter is, Repub- licans’ Choice. Cmaha, July 19 (By Assoclated Press)—Senator G. M. Hitchcock and R. B. Howell, republican national committeeman, were nominated at vesterday's state-wide primaries as democratic and republican candidates respectively for United States senator. Senator Hitchcock's victory was sweeping. two opponents, on the face of returns from approximately one-third of the state was about half that cast for the incumbent senator. Howell's lead over Congressman Albert W. Jefferis, of Omaha, and At- torney General Clarence A. Davis, showed a margin of more than five thousand votes in tabulations of re- turns from 718 precincts. The race between Dan B. Butler Omaha, and Charles W. Bryan, brother of Willlam Jennings Bryan, for the democratic gubernatorial nomination showed Butler leading with slightly more than one-third of the state heard from. FARMERS IN CONTROL.
