o doubt of the outcome. And so there is no doubt lurking in
us to take the edge off our efforts, is there? The thought regarding
the Express has not been timidly born within us; it has come forth
flashing vigor! Yes it has, Ned, despite your doubts! And we have
within us a power mightier than any force outside of us. That is the
knowledge of infinite mind's omnipotence, and our ability to use the
Christ-principle to meet _every_ problem. Is it not so?"

Haynerd began to rouse up with a returning sense of confidence. Hitt
smiled and nodded to Carmen. The girl went on rapidly and eagerly:

"We are going to give the people news from a new standpoint, aren't
we? We are not going on the assumption that the report of mankind's
errors is the report of real news. The only thing that is really new

certainly is a splendid one. Still another thing, the Express will
stand shoulder to shoulder with the women for equal suffrage. Are you
agreed?"

"Most emphatically!" declared Hitt. "It is the women who will clean up
and regenerate this world, not the men. Reform is now in the hands of
the women. They have been held back long enough. And India proves that
backward women mean a backward nation."

"Then," continued Carmen, "make a distinct Women's Department in the
Express, and put Miss Wall on the staff."

"Very well. Next?" inquired Hitt, smiling.

"A daily educational department for foreigners, our immigrants, giving
them every possible aid in suggestions regarding their naturalization,
the languages, hotels, boarding houses,
