PRESIDENTON SUFFRAiE
Roosevelt Thinks Women Should
Vote. Is not Enthusiastic.
C
WOMAN'S CHIEF FUNCTION 1
Her Work in the Household and Rear- o
ing of Children More Important $
Than any Man's Work.
New York City.-The attitude of
President Roosevelt and of Secretary
of State Elihu Root on the subject of
woman suffrage was disclosed at a
meeting under the auspices of the
National League for the Civic Educa
tion of Women.
The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor
of The Outlook, in the course of an
address in opposition to granting the t
rights to vote for women, read the fol
lowing letter from President Roose
velt, which he said he read with the
p wresident's permission, although it was
not "written for publicatlon,
"Personally, 1 believe in woman's
suffrage," says Mr. Roosevelt, at the
outset of the letter, which is dated No
-vember 10, 1908, "but I am not an en
thusiastic advocate of it because I do
not regard it as a very important mat- t
'ter. I am unable to see that there has
been any special improvement in the
:position of women in those states in
'the west that have adopted woman t
isuffrage as compared with those states
:adjoining them that have not adopted
it. I. do 'hot think that giving the
'women suffrage will produce any
marked improvement in the' condition
'of women. I do not believe that it
;will produce any of the evils feared,
:and I am very certain that when wom-,
en, as a whole, take any special in- 4
'terest in the matter they will have'
'the suffrage if they desire it. I
"But at present I think most of them I
are lukewarm; I find some activity for I
'it, and some activity against it. I:
'am, for the reasons above given, rath- .
er what you would regard as luke- '
warm or tepid in my support of it be
cause, while 1 believe in it, I do not
regard it as of very much import
ance.
"I believe that man and woman
should stand on an equality of right,
but I do not believe that equality of
right means identity of function; and
I am more and more convinced that
the great field, the indispensable field,
for the usefulness of women is as the
mother of the family.
"It is her work ~i the household, in
the home, her work in bearing and
rearing the children, which is more
important than any man's work, and
it is that work which should be nor
mally the woman's special work, just
ps normally the man's work should
be that of the breadwinner, the sup
porter of the home, and, if necessary,
the soldier who will fight for the
home.
"There are exceptions as regards
both man and woman; but the full and
perfect life. the life of highest happi
ness and of highest usefulness to the
state, is the life of the man and wom
an who are husband and wife, who
live in the partnership of love and
duty, the one earning enough to keep
the home, the other managing the
home and the children.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
UQUOR TO DRY TERRITORY.
Common Carriers Must Accept Ship
ments Tendered.
Richmond, Va.-The supreme court
of appeals affirmed the decision of the
state corporation commission in the
case of the Portner Brewing Company
against the Southern Express Compa
ny. The effect of the decision is that
while common carriers must receive
shipments for delivery to parties in
"dry territory," wholesalers, brewers,
distillers and manufacturers cannot
al&il themselves of that right, for by
so doing it could be made possible
for violators of the law compell com-1
mon carriers to aid and abet violations
-on account of the consignees receiving
the liquor when shipped in large quan
titles and then selling it contrary to
law.
INLANI WATERWAY BOUTE.
This is the Purpose of the Convention
at New Orleans.
New Orleans, La.-Hetween two and
three hundred delegates gathered
here in attendance upon the fourth
annual convention of the Interstate
Waterways League, which has for its
object the construction of an inland
waterway from the Rio Grande to the
Miselsbippi.
It is planned to connect and dredge
to sufficient length all of the rivers
and bodies of *ater lyihg just inside
the Louislnas as4 Texas coasts, the
route exten8I , from lBrownsville,
Texas, to Donaldsonvllle. La. A gov
ernanent appropriation has result6l in
a portion of the work being cotpletd

0.000,000 Bushel, Biggest Deal on
Record, May Bring $1.40.
Chicago, Ill.-James A. Patten, the
!orn king, with his partner, now con
rols 20,000,000 bushels of wheat- I
nore wheat than any one crowd of
nen ever held In Chicago, the scene
>f the world's biggest corn deals, and
)1.40 wheat is looked for on the
board of trade as a result of the co
OsRal deal.
With Mr. Patten in the big ring are
William H. Bartlett, George W. Pat
ten and Frank B. Fraser. It is big
'er than the Joe Letter deal when
that young plunger lost $9,000,000 just
after the world's fair. It is bigger
than the John W. Gates corner, in
which millions were lost by the cor
nerer four years ago. It is bigger at
least by 5,000,000 bushels than any
thing "Old Hutch" ever attempted
And vet it is not a corner. It is
merely a colossal deal. The Bartlett
Patten bull ring is not endeavoring to
buy all the grain in the market and
create an artificial condition, as "Old
Hutch" did when he forced wheat up
to $2. Its purpose is merely to use
to advantage what is believed to be a
world-wide condition, and to have a
large amount of wheat to sell when
the price soars. In their opinion it
will go to $1.38 or $1.40, not as a re
sult of purchase, but because of a
combination of Circumstances around
the world over which no man can con
trol.
PLANS FOR BATTLESHIPS
Are Reviewed by Admiral Cappe In
His Annual Report.
Washington, D. C.-The annual re
port of Admiral W. L. Capps, chief
contractor of the navy, is very largely
devoted to a review of the navy over
the plans of the battleships North Da
kota and Delaware. Admiral Capps
disposes of various phases of criti
cisms that have been made of the
plans by declaring that the recommen
dations for congress made by the
Newport conference related only to
minor details over which there nat
urally would be differences of opinion
and improvement from time to time.
Admiral Capps refers to the lack of
adequate working facilities at many of
the navy yards for ships under repair,
and says this condition continues to
embarrass the bureau and prevent the
prompt and economical performance
of work.
ELECTION IBAUlDS IN CHICAiO.
Outrageous Repeating and Ballot Box
Stuffing Charged by Grand Jury.
Chicago, Ill. - The ballots of men
long residents of other cities, the bal
lots of temporary absentees, the bal
lots of the insane and even of the
dead were cast in the primary elec
tion of last August in Chicago. "Rte
peaters" voted in platoons, with the
connivance of willingly unseeing
judges and clerks of election, and
fraud, rampant to an extent hitherto
unknown in a city never famous for
the purity of its political atmosphere,
rendered the resultant party nomina
tions morally worthless. -
These and other ajartling allega
tions are made in the report of the
special grand jury, which, after sev
eral weeks of delving into charges
growing out of Chicago's first prima
ties and returning sixty-one indict
ments against two-score or more of
politicians and others, adjourned.
HONOR KEsBlY OF ELEVELANL

Port-au-Prince, Halt. - President
Nord Alexis has been deposed as Is
now sate on board the French trainm
ing ship Duguay Troula, and Porta4
Prince is to the hands of the revel-,
tionists. General Antoine Simon, the
leader of the insurgents,. Is marehing
up the peninsula with an a.my of 5,
000, and a new president, General I
gitime has ben proclaimed.
At the last moment President Alexis
yielded to the urging of those about
him and decided to take refuge aboard
the French warship. Thousands had
gathered at the palace early in the
day, and they had surged arman the
entrances threatening to tear down
the walls to drive out the president
and his loyal followers, and heaping
curses on the head of the aged i,
Bo serious was the sitastion that
the French minister, M. Carteroa and
other foreign representatives, togethS
er with members of a specially ap.
pointed committee, forced themselves
upon the president, who dnally con
sented to withdraw. Shouts greeted
him as he stepped form the palace
and into a carriage whleh had been
provided.
M. Carteron, carryl the Franch
tri-color, sat beside him and threw the
colors of the Sau over the shoulders
of the deposed president to protect
him.
All along the "route the people
shouted, Jpered and cursed at the fallen
president, but when the landing stage
was reached the mob lost all restraint.
Infuriated women broke through the
cordon of troops and shrleked the
coarsest insults into the face of the
president, who strove bravely to ap
pear undismayed.
They tried to hurl themselves upon
Alexis, and fought with hands-and feet
the soldiers. A space fnaly was clear.
ed and Nord Alexis was hurried
aboard a skiff in tow of a team
launch, his suite tumbling in after
him. As the launch drew away three
Haitien gunboats' and the Preach and
American warships in the harbor tred
a salute.
One of the leaders charged that the
American minister, H. W. urnaise,was
encouraging the president to resist,
and he issued the following proclamae
tion:
"Citizens: The danger is supreme;
we risk our independence if we do not
take good care. The old man would
have given up already were it not for
the advice of a diplomat who pre
paring for our annexation. A h Is
expected, and this diplomat wishes to
precipitate one in order to have a
pretext for colonising us. Let us,
therefore, be docile, yet not supine."
