Feb. 25. —Colonel Theodore Koosevelt's reply to the letter of seven re-publican gover nor*, asking him to stand for a nomination for the presidency, was given out tonight at his offices here. He is in Boston. It follows: "New York. Feb. 24, 1912. "Gentlemen: 1 deeply appreci ate your letter and 1 realize to the full the heavy responsibility it puts upon me, expressing as it does the carefully considered convictions ol the men elected by popular vote to stand aa the heads of government In their several states. "I absolutely agree with you that this matter Is not one to be decid ed with any reference to personal preferences or Interests o£ any man, but purely from the stand point of the interests of the peo ple aa a whole. 1 will accept tho nomination for president, i£ it is tendered to me, and 1 will adhere to the decision until the conven tion ha» expressed its preference. "One of the chief principles for which I have stood and for which I now Bland and which 1 have al ways endeavored and always shall endeavor to reduce to action, Is the genuine rule of the people, and therefore 1 had hoped that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their prefer ence is lo who shall lie the n-om inee of the. republican presidential convention. "Very truly yours, (Signed) "TH'KODORK ROOPKVKLT. ' BOSTON, Feb. 26. —Colonel Roose velt plunged into the thick of the light for the presidential nomination today. He said unequivocally ho was in the light tv the end and glad ol it. "I am perfectly happy now," he Baid, "because 1 am making a straight out tight lor a principle. The issue is in no way a personal one." "U-j you intend to support the republican nominee, whoever he may be?" lie was asked. "Of course 1 shall," he replied emphatically, in response tv Inquiries as to the principle he was lighting for, the Colonel referred his questioners to his speeches in Colum bus, Ohio, last week, and before the Massachusetts house today. Justifies Former Statement* Hiß position as lo tho -third term" was explained to a number of cullers today. He declared that his state ments in 1904 and 1907 referred to a third consecutive term. "Of course I couldn't then know whether or not there would be a demand for me to accept a nomination at some future time, and believing as 1 do, that se lection of candidates for the presi dent rests entirely with the people. I could not say that at no time in my life would 1 accept the nomination." BOSTON. Feb. 86. —S<andlng in the assembly i number of the Massachus etts capitol today Colonel Roosevelt explained his new project for limited recall of Judicial decisions. He also spoke in the senate chamber, in both instances he received cordial though no -prolonged applause. Colonel Roosevelt struck home at those who have condemned his plans. "Our system of government is confess edly a failure," he said, "unless people are to be trusted to g-overn them selves." Favor* Direct Nomination Roosevelt said he favors direct nom inations, direct primaries, lncuding di rect preferential primaries, not only for local but for state delegates. "I believe," he said, "in adoption of a wisely chosen device under which the initiative and referendum can be used, not as a substitute for representative government, but to make representa tive government genuinely representa tive and to see it corrected if it be comes misrepreeentative." The speaker then described the dif ference between the national and th* state constitutions, dclaring that th« national constitution is an instrumeni designed to define the limits of powei between the nation and the severa states, while state constitution recog nir.es only -one aov^reignty. that of tin T>tople. There is, he said, no ques tion of conflicting sovereignties as re gard!! the mulviitu constitution.

WOMAN'S PLEA IS CONVINCING Miss Berry of State College Makes a Strong Argument for Specialized Education MAKERS OF THE HOME MUST DEMAND TRAINING Good Housewife Is in the Produc ing Class and Is Not a Boarder and Is Entitled to a Proper Recompense Despite its splendid high School building, its alert and progressive population, its high percentage of high school population and despite other ■conditions which put Yakima in the lead In many ways In comparison with other towns of the stntp there does not begin to be the interest here in some of the practical phases of ed ucation that is to be encountered in almost any other town of the slate. For some reason, either in the school system or because of failure on the part of the community to recognise its opportunities instruction qualify ing the boys and girls to become bet ter producers, more tapable spccalists and logically better citizens is not de manded here by the high school boys nnd girls or for them by their par entg. Vlpws of Miss Berry This, in substance, was one of the statements made Monday morning ;it the Y. M. C. A. by Miss Berry who was lecturing in the state college ins titute work in progress here. Else where, everywhere else in the state, the demand for such training of the young is stronger and the facilities are more eagerly taken advantage of than in North Yakima. While not desirous of coming to North Yakima to give advice. Miss Berry said, still she whs of opinion that no better work, or fraught with greater good to the town and state, tiould be taken up by the i'lub women than that of demanding that the education offered the boys anil girls Be practical, that it be such as to enable them to do better the duties they must take up and that it be a boys' education for boys and a girls' education for girls. Mi-~ Berry Is ('onvlncinj; MlSt Berry is an excellent talker. an orator at times, with a splendid command of language and a Dies dis crimination is the choice of words. She speaks nunnlly. Incisively and en tertainingly. She believes in her cause and her cause is fortunate in having her as an advocate for it is impossible for anyone to listen 1., her and remain unconvinced of the merit of the cause she advocates. I;n.i tes tionably, also, she makes converts. Speaking more directly to the young girls, of whom there were a great many in her audleme. Inn furnishing edification In liberal quantities to the elders as well. Miss Berry traced briefly the development of education al work a* emphasized by the socializ ing of various institution-- such as the public laundry, the textile factories, the canneries and the common iml i* tries of today which have taken from the home iii<- work formerly done there by the woman, in these brain'h | e« tilt u'ikc eantlUl woman has pr«M ; en her title to the wealth she pro -1 d.i^res Similarly th« WOißtn In Ui» hiiine who does the tniiifcx <vhl h ..it done in the factor) by hei wage-earn ing sister, miii who does as much and THE NOMINATIOH TWINS WHICH WILL WIN? who does It as well, is o wage-earner. She is not a "boardi r" but is a pro ducer and her recognition as such has arrived. S|)c iiii Trar,itn<> Demaaded Han, who, fccoording to his own statement, is the qiore Intelllgeht half of the human world, does not think he can know how by instinct or iu tuftlOD, to carry Bi| the business -'n which he is engaged. For liis work he requires anil kemandl a special training. Similarly the Women can not be expected by Instinct or intui tion to be able tj>Alu her work. 'The husband and vctiv are in a partner- Rbip, he at thp head af the huslncps side and she al the head of the home management, it is common knowl edge to the business man how scare managerial ability is. yet there is ci hesitation in giving to the woman an opportunity to learn the things she must be expected to execute. Miss Berry spoke nt the mass of knowl edge, all of It recent with reference to health, sanitation, feeding children, home making which a woman must havo. These arc things in which wo men are interested. They cheerfully admit that the tariff, the currency bill and such measures do not interest them nnd that they do not understand them but they are interested in the home and the influence which effect it find they have a right to qualify to become the best of possible horn* makers, mi Will Be Married Miss Berry thinks that the time is coming when all women will he mar ried and when tha) Wtll have the privilege of home making and she is devoting her life to education in prep aration for that condition. One idea advanced by the speaker was that of a law requiring tha man* ufavturers of textile goods to label their product to' show Its character. Food products are now labeled so that the purchaser may know what ho la gelling. The buyer of textiles In en titi"d to the name protection, She does not ask for a law which will change tile character of Hie articles manufactured bul the percentage of wool, linen. Bilk, etc.. in a piece or goods should be plainly marked there on so that Ihe buyer, who may pur chase H'lml be or she desires will know just what is being purchased.
