reached fever neat two weeks ago

Irregularities in casting votes, several

Floating Gardens in Mexico.

From Arboriculture.
 While the City of Mexico is 5000 feet higher than sea level, there are in the vi- cinity several lakes and marshy tracts which require extensive drainage opera tions. The Viga canal is one of these great drainage systems, and upon it are numerous barges which transport farm and garden produce from the market gar dens to the city. Flat-bottomed boats, propelled by a pole, convey passengers to the floating gardens The gardens are located upon marsh land quite similar to the tule lands of California. The soil Is composed of decayed reed and grass roots being entirely of vegetable mould and quite fertile. bitches at frequent inter vals drain the gardens and furnish means of communication by canoes and small boats to the larger canal, and thus to the city. Here are the great market gardens, where vegetables are grown for Mexicos consumption. Here, too, are grown the magnificent flowers which form one of the principal attractions to Mexico City the flower market being a wonder in the quantity and exquisite beauty both Of the individual tropic flowers and the mag nificent floral forms, which are made with great taste and skill. Street cars also connect the city with the villages upon the Viga canal, and they are well patronized.

that, beyond a certain point in the edu- cation of the two sexes. inequality takes the place of equality, and the young man has an enormous advantage over his sister, endowed with equal or perhaps greater talents Neither the nation, the state, the municipality, nor the individual can be blamed for these conditions. They are an inheritance. When the fosnda- tions of the older of the great establish ments of the higher education were be- ing laid woman's place was universally felt to be subordinate. Perhaps that is not the exact word to use. My meaning is that the home, the domestic circle purely, was felt to be her only sphere
 that she should not look beyond it and that the education required to discharge the duties of 1t in its very highest forms partook rather of the nature of attractive accomplishments than of accurate, deep knowledge and precise technical skill and training. All that was for men, not for women. But these old eighteenth cen- tury ideas do not fit into the strenuous one in which we are living. Within the memory of men who have not passed much beyond middle life the presence Of a woman in business office was matter of astonishment When the Treasurer or

 that so long as these equal opportunities

STATE ENDORSEMENTS
Secured By Roosevelt Will Be Made
 Nueatory by 1904 Conventions.

1'rom the New York Sun.
 1t is perfectly true, as Senator Fair banks is said to hsve assured President Roosevelt, that no dtss atisfaction with the present administration was expressed by Indiana republicans at their last state con- xention. There ls no doubt that reso- lution adopted by that body indorsed the "able and patriotic administration of Pres ident Roosevelt" and promised him the "earnest support of the republicans on h. diana in all his efforts to continue and advance the prosperity of the people at home and the glory of the republic abroad"
 Ther is not a world i'm the resolution about a second term, however; and, so far as the last republican state conven- ton of Indiana is concerned all it's mem bers including Senator Fairbanks himself, will be at liberty next spring to support any candidate for the presidency whom they may prefer
 As a matter of fact it would not have made a particle of difference had the members of the last republican state con- vention of Indiana expressed unanimously wish that MT, Roosevelt should be nom- mated to the Presidency in 1904. Such a
 
 on the delegates to the state convention which will be held next year for the pur- pose of naming delegates to the republi- can national convention. Those delegates can be bound only by the convention that selects them Any other hypothesis is ab- surd In our political history if has some times happened that delegates to na- tional convention have been chosen year or even more than year in advance. Un- der such circumstances the indorsement of a candidate for the Presidency would m doubt, be binding on a states delegates because 1t would emanate from the very body from which those delegates derive their authority. The last state conven- ton of Indiana, however, was called for the exclusive purpose of designating can didates for state offices. It did not pos sess, and did not pretend to possess, the power to name delegates to national convention. A fortiori, 1t could not claim, and did not claim, right to instruct del-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-12-13

egates who would be named at subse- quent date by a different body.
 When the last state convention held in Ohio undertook to indorse MT. Roosevelt as candidate for the Presidency in 1904 it manifestly transcended it's powers Its declaration was nugatory The conven- tion to be held in Ohio next spring for the purpose of naming delegates to the republican national convention will be a law unto itself It will take such action in the premises as at that time shall seem judicious. The fullness of it's au- thority will not be qualified an iota by the preference expressed at the state conven- tion held this year. The same thing, of course is true of every indorsement of Mir Roosevelt's aspirations secured from a state convention during the current twelvemonth.
 From legal and moral point of view, every state will be as untrammeled next spring with reference to it's choice of a candidate for the Presidency as Indiana is today

brain is smaller and must not be de- veloped or taxed beyond its capacity" The records of history in all countries prove that the nearest a nation is to the African apes in the scale of intelligence the more convinced are the male mem bers of its inha bitants that their women stands on a plane below them. The | theory is a relic of barbarism, and the extent to which it obtains is everywhere a measure of civilization or the lack of it.
 While as a people we have no reason to shrink from a test of this character, and can safely claim that we have done, and are doing more for the education of the young women of the republic than any | other country is doing along general lines for similar classes of it's population, the fact stands out clear and irrefutable

the United States under Lincoln's ads ministraton appointed two or three young women to clerkship in his department many senators and representatives were almost as much astonished as they had been by the reverberations of the first cannon shot of the Civil war. Thousands and thousands of women are now in all branches of the public service except the cabinet the army and the navy, and in these departments there have been and perhaps are now pretentious and beiaced personages whose places might much bet ter be filled by their fair typewriters.
 Woman is in the world of business. of science, of the learned professions to stay and to conquer.
