Why This Discrimination
Against Women.

The assertion is continually being
made by the opposers of woman suf-
frage that women work under no dis
advantage as a result of their dis
reimbursement.
Another striking object lesson show
ing the unjust Discrimination between
the wages paid men and women for
the same work has come to our notice
through the appointment of woman
of large experience as librarian in
the Public Library in Minneapolis.
Il seems that the woman in questions
had been assistant librarian for a
dozen or more years and so efficient
was she in the discharge of her duties
that she was generally recognized
IS the working head. aud was so rec
ogniz-d by the librarian himself who
depended largely upon her sagacity
and resources in administering his Of
fee. But when the librarian resign
d and the assistant, who had been
for years the working head, was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy her salary
was not only cut down to 81 900 a year
IS than the man had received, but
tn ffiicer of 4 a>sistant librarian was
abolished and the duties of both of
Il ,es thrust upon her At 81 900 4 year
less than the man received for the
one office.
Nor is this determination agains,
women anything unusual. The same
holds good in many positions occupied
by women and especially in that oi
teaching.
While the Minneapolis librarian
was deprived of her legitimate com.
pensation ostensibly because she was
a woman, as a matter of fact it wa
because she belongs to disfrachised
class. This is proven by the fac,
that in states where women vote they
receive equal pay with men in public
Offices of equal work.
If the men who are crying out
against women taking their work
from them would help the women tC
.e.ure the ballot and throug h the bal
ot secure equal pay in all public
positions, it might result in more
than being employed, that is, if they
did as good or better work than tn,
women which is now given as a rea
son for their receiving more wages
Give women equal wages and the res
will adjust itse according to the fit
ness ofthe individual for the position

Hdnnd's Retirement
AS Chairman

There is apparently no doubt that
senator Hanna will voluntarily re-
tire from the arduous post Of chair
man of the Republican national COM
nittee next year. He has been urged
~ President Roosevelt and other
leading Republicans to accept re-
lection. and his declination, which
is clearly forecast In reliable dis
patches from Washington, will be a
disappointment to the president and
to thousands of Republicans who re-
joice to honor both these sterling
Americans.
Senator Hanna has earned the
right to retire il he wishes to do so.
he has led two-hard fought national
campaigns with remarkable success.
His services have been invaluable 10
his party and his country. He has
won distinction as a statesman no
less than 4 party leader. lie will be
81 years old next September. His
health is no longer robust, and II he
wishes to avoid the tremendous strain
of managing another great national
contest, neither the president nor
any other Republican can deny him
the privilege which his long and val
u able services give him.
Nevertheless, 1t viii be a matter
of national regret among Repub.i'
cans not to have Senator Hanna al
chairman of the next national com.

Mr.. Roosevelt,


The hearts of the American people
are warm tow ard Thee dore Roos eve. t
At bottom even the most radical
partisan against the present nation
al administration feels a keen inter.
est in and liking fo- the man, thong h
he may anathemathize the executive
with all the wealth of his vocabulary
As for the Presidents polite II sym
Pathizers. they are ready to swesi
by him. And the overwhelming
source of his strength whatever II
may lie, is his intense humanity. The
man so persistently rises above the
official.
A scene in the woods of Virg nj 4 on
Saturday afternoon throws strong
light upon this lovable phase of hi.
character Congress is in session
troublesome matters have taxed h:
energy at home and far-reachinr
problems confront him beyond our
borders. No one can say that h.
has not given to all his best atten
tion.
Yetin the half holiday at the END
of the week he devoted his time tC
seven children-tbree little Roose
yelts and four little Garfelds Bund
ling them into a carriage. he drove
of with them on nutting expedition
climbed trees and played games fol
their amt .ment and made then
have a glorious time generally.
The picture is a pretty one. o.
course it will have its critics. Mel
who spend their hours of ease In en-
volving plans to get the better O.
their neighbors will have it as eyi
dence of the unsafe" character o.
the man they fear. But it will bt
hard to convince the thinking Amer
lean citizen that the President who
makes children the companions o.
his leisure will b. dangerous in
statecraft.
