ministration successful, but nearly all of them have already announced that they will support the President for the nomi- nation in 1904. The pledge made by Mir. Roosevelt when he took the oath of of flee almost in the presence of the dead. will, they are convinced, be sacredly kept. That declaration won the hearts of all the personal and political friends of the memory they will see that no obstacle Is placed in the way of his successor. It can, therefore, be confidently counted up- on that the Buffalo speech will become, as 1t. were. the future platform of the party until every policy outlined in it has been crystalized into law. In this way the sainted leader will still rule the country from the silent tomb at Canton, ana be an inspiration to his party and his countrymen for years to come. Dur ing the past few weeks there has been al- most revolution of opinion within the Republican party so far ts the President is concerned. rais remarkable versatility and splendid achievement in all fields of action in which he has been engaged is now universally recognized while the modest unobtrusive way In which he has entered upon his new duties has won for him the admiration and warm friendship of many who were at one time cold If not positively hostile to him. That he Is up to the full stature of what a President should be is conceded by all, while his strong and vigorous personality gives the assurance that he will ultimately take rank with the very greatest of his pre- decessors

Changes m WomaN's SpNeve
BY HON. MAU RICE M. HINTON.

The times has changed and with them the views of men. With the changes of times have come changes in conditions A readtustment of woman's relation to con ditions has become the inevitable result.
 A few years ago all men were quick to define woman's sphere. Women were held to be instruments fashioned by the Divine will to perform certain orthodox functions in the domestic environs. Her duties were plain to every man whether maid or wife. The wife's field of labor extended beyond those of the maid by reason of maternity and it's especial exactions. In a general sense the scope of each was the same, the duties of the home.
 Women, on the other hand, were equal ly quick to define mans sphere. To him was relegated the battle for life. He was the warrior who sallied forth in the morning and whose homecoming was looked forward to by reason of the spells of war which he was expected to wrest from the enemy. He 1t was who should provide the means needed to defray the expenses of the home. For many years it was well settled that the man was | the breadwinner and the woman the breadmaker. But is 1t so today?
 It is so in rural districts and in small villages and towns, but not so o1 late in | great cities. In older countries, in Eng land for instance, for a century or more. young women have been compelled by conditions to go out In quest of a living. It is fast becoming so in the great cities of this country.
 Nothing has so changed the face of the earth and nothing has so altered all hu- man conditions as steam and electricity. These powers harnessed to every conceiv- able form of machinery have changed conditions and, consequently, affected every relation in life. The days are no more when the maid assisted by her friends made the linen for her future home No socks are knit during the long winter evenings, no socks are darned, no shirts are made for father and son. nay, thousand and one of women's irksome tolls are no more-machinery produces them at a low cost
 Women's labors have been diminished, but the savings effected by womens labor have been lost Added expenses are the result. The home rid of its labor may possibly be an improvement, but the add ed expenses consequent thereto may be found to have exceeded the earning ca- pacity of the father.
 Whatever the cause may be 1t Is a self evident fact that thousands of young girls are today employed in one capacity

backed by blood and treasure that flowed, in Niagara cataract of patriotism, pre- served 1t. President Mckinley forged new link in this chain of national devel- opment. Under him the republic prosper ed as 1t had never prospered in all its history. McKinleyism. as 1t was derisive- ly called, saved the home market and it almost conquered the markets of the world. Never did this beloved President prove himself so great a statesman as when, a few hours before the bullet of a vile scoundrel pierced his breast. he made that historic speech which is destined to stanG for all time with the farewell ad- dress of Washington. The generations that are to come will turn to it as the wisest of all utterances that have fallen from the lips of any American in our day It marks the road in which the Republic must march onward to it's splendid desti- ny. It Is the chart of the great captain who has been stricken down at the helm Of the ship of state. Under President Roosevelt there will be no Reflection from the course.

Roosevelt and the South.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The fact that President Roosevelt re- gently invited Booker T. Washington to the White House for a conference of sev- eral hours on Southern political subjects Is justly regarded as significant. His ac- ton in taking council of the most highly cultivated member of the colored race indicates an intention of breaking away from conventional methods in the South. In a conference with Vice-President Roosevelt several months ago Booker Washington remarked that if the Re- publican party wished to command gen. eral respect and allegiance in the South 1t should begin by getting the best white residents to fill the Federal offices in the Southern States regardless of party lines. He said this would be best for white and black alike. His ideas were so clear and sensible that MT. Roosevelt evidently has wished to hear them more in detail.
 The Southern people always have com plained that the federal offices in that part of the country were controlled un- der Republican administrations, by an in- significant handful of professional SNuth ern Republicans who were in politics for the offices and who did not represent the best clements of the community in which they lived. It is asserted that these ma chine politicians, by attempting to ex ploit the negro vote, are keeping alive racial prejudice and doing harm to black and white alike. The practice of allow ing these men to control federal appoint ments Is regarded as an important cause of the approximation of solid Democratic South. The heart of the evil lies in the continuance of party cleavage along the color line.
 It is believed that President Roosevelt is seriously seeking some means of changing this chronic situation. Presi- dent Mckinley succeeded in banishing the last of the old sectional spirit, and MT. Roosevelt Is ambitious to complete the good work by breaking up the perni- cious party division on the color line He hopes to see Southern voters supporting whatever economic policy seems best for their local interests just as voters do In the North. It would be a great benefit to the South and to the whole country if this change could be brought about If any man can create more healthful political conditions in the South 1t should be President Roosevelt. He Is animat ed by sincere desire to do what is best for the South as well as for the rest of the country He Is popular in that section as elsewhere. He has no political pledges binding shim to the party machine any, where. That he has the independence to act as he believes best nobody will ques- tion. If he shall see fit to ignore party lines in his Southern appointments or to take any similar steps toward winning the support of the best element of the people, he may be able to accomplish benef1cent changes and at the same time add to the strength of his party. His policy in the South will be watched with interest and we believe with approval by the whole country
