"mr. Roosevelt and the Negroes.

Under the above heading the Wash
iogton Post. an Independent Republi
lican paper thus impassionately dis
cusses Mr.. Rooeevelt's attitude towal q
the negroes of the South. It is the
most conservative, fair and logical
presentation of the case we have yet
seen on the subject, emanating from
any republican source. The Post says:
whilst we do not agree with Presi
dent Roosevelt in his attitude on the
negro question-hoiding that neither
recognition nor office should be given
to colored men as such. and believing
that .rothing could be worse for the
negro race than to segregate it from
the great mass of the American people
we wish to be understood as deplor-
ing the spirit which is now manifest
ing itself all over the South as result
| OF the Presidents more recent acts In
this connection. We regard Mr.. Roose-
welt as man of fine impulses. As We
see him, he is instinct with high pur.
pose, patriotic aspirations, and pas
: sionate sense of justice. To the sorrow
OF his judicious friends, however, and,
as we believe, to his own eventual con
fusion, he has accepted The hypothesis
of the negro politicians aud profes,
sionaI Off ce-seekers at the South
moved to this, no doubt, by ignorant
and evil counsel-and now proposes to
approve the black mans. claim, as a
black man and not as an American
citizen. He does not seem to realize
that herein the negro asks for more
than equality, or to apprehend that,
in granting the appeal. be puts the ne
gro In more peril than he has known
since 1875. A brave man himself, not
given to counting the cost of anything
he thinks is righteous, he has made his
choice. and he will stand by 1t, come
what may.
We admire his courage and his can
dor. We pay to his sincerity the trib
ute Of our nnfeigned admiration. But
we do not think he has been we'll advis
ed land We make bold to speak our
MUD. The point of fatal weakness in
the postulate IS its obvious inconsis
tency. IF recognition of the negro's
political importance be demanded by
wisdom aud propriety at the South, :

elcquence at the North? II the Presi-
dent feels called upon to appoint the

The REMARKABLE RISE OF A TOWNSHIP
Tumu to Capital Australian Federation Is Situated
in Highly Cultivated and Well Watered
Agriculture Is the Chief Industry

maize growing receives most OF the at
tention of the farmer. The fine quality
that characterizes Tumut maize is the
result of careful cultivation and the eX-
IRENE care taken by the people to pre-
vent the intrusion Of disease into their
staple crop. The farmers agreed that
they should give up the use Of old
sacks, in which disease germs might
Turk. and they keep strictly to bags
bought straight from the factory. Next
in Importance to Indian corn comes to-
bacco. The soil at Tcmut has shown
itself most kindly to the culture. II In
it's natural state Tumut tobacco would
prove somewhat overpowering, still,
blended with American, an excellent
mixture can be made with the Austria
liam weed.
Such is the quiet and secluded spot
in which the federal authorities pro-
pose to raise a new city to accommo-
date the machinery Of central govern
ment in Australia. If isolation from
the grosser interests of mere commerce
be sought, Tumut is the ideal, and In
it's excellent climatic conditions the
legislator will be provided with the
best atmosphere for stimulating mental
activity and at the same time insurlng
a healthy mind in healthy body. The
isolation is, of course, not 1rremoVaDle.
A short line of some twenty miles-a
distance now served by coach-would
connect the town with Gundagal, the
nearest railway terminus. The latter
town is not on the main railroad from
Sydney to Melbourne, but is the term1-
nus of a branch thirty miles in length
that Joins the main line at Cootamun-
dra. From the latter junction the fed
eral legislator can go northwest to
Queensland or south to Victoria and
on to South Australia. West Australia,
still unconnected by rail, and the is
land state of Tasmania are out OF
touch with the main arteries of rail-
road communication.
1t is curious to note how this little
unknown town has in its way COM

four state capitals of the east. 1t is

woMAN's CLUB INFLUENCE
Organizer of Clubs Says They Go
Not Educate Her Sex.

The education of woman by the club
method to prepare her to assume a
higher and more responsible place In
the worlds affairs has been declared
by one of the most prominent club
women in Colorado to be fat failure.
Mrs. Sophia Lovejoy Dickinson, who
has probably done as much as any one
woman inorganizing clubs, in an inter
view at Denver said:
such women as Susan b. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton little
dreamed of the extent of the club
movement which would follow their
work Their suggestion was not new
sphere for women. but broader out
look, a better education, till she was
competent to take her share of the
worlds work They would see woman
develop in all lifes relationship self
home. social and civic relation.
"As class women are conserva-
tives. They closely follow race in
heritance. What they feel is expected
of them they do. The world expects
them to be honest. therefore they do
not steal large amounts nor forge sig
natures. The werld expects them to
be virtuous, and some are. Whether
they are equally moral may we'll be
questioned Their idea of truth is Of
ten very feminine. and their growing
tendency too kleptomania is alarming.
The world has not demanded much be-
yond the self and home relation. and
only a narrow view of these.
1.-THE average woman's club is too
indefinite, too anxious to please men.
too busy. busting, too self conferred to
allow the members to help on the real
and important work Of the world.
Women are self deceived; they think
they are In earnest, but rarely are;
they are interested in their relation l.
things, but not in the thing itself.
They are much like children in the
way they conduct business and assume
responsibility, and their sense of an OBJ
legation is often very faulty. If the
weaknesses which have enumerated
are not suppressed, the entire club
movement will degenerate into social
function"

The commissioners appointed to re-
port on the question of the federal cap
4tai of the Australian commonwealth
seem to have exercised a rare discre-
4ton In giving the very strongest rec
Ommendation to the claim oil Tumut
for the coveted honor, says the London
Standard. The place is, roughly, half
way between Sydney and Melbourne,
the two largest Australian cities, which
were both chagrined at losing the SUI
preme right. Melbourne in possessing
palatial parliamentary buildings which
would have housed the federal legisla-
ture admirably-they have already
done so since the establishment of the
commonwealth-felt that it had very
tangible claim, while Sydney as the
oldest city and the capital of the moth
er colony was most tenacious of her
right. The statute finally decided that
New South Wales had the better claim
and enacted that the capital should be
placed within that state, not less than
400 miles from Sydney. Tumut is,
however. 800 miles distant from the
city of the beautiful harbor, and the
commissioners have thus given Mel
bourne an advantage of 200 miles from
the minimum, while favoring it, more
over. by fixing a spot on the straight
line from Sydney to Melbourne.
The United States republic, when es-
fablishing a federal capital, built it on
a swamp in the midst of the virgin for
est. The new commonwealth has TAX
en- another method. Tumut is little
township of some 1900 inhabitants in
the center of fertile and highly Guilt
waited plain. 1t stands high in valley
thanking the mountains grouped round
Mount Kosciusko, the eliminating
peak of the Australian continent. Well
watered to a degree that is unusual In
places So far west, the district is little
subject to the extremes with which the
other parts of the continent are fam1l-
far. The Tumut river, fed by the Kos
ciuskan SHOWS and the steady springs
OF it's neighborhood, does not dWlndle
almost to extinction, as do the rivers
Of the Never Never country farther
west. In drought the latter become
mere chains of water holes-nay, even
disappear altogether under stress OF
