HY some of the closest students it
X has been asserted recently that
IL the social problem OF thousands
Of married couples would De solved If
thu wife should continue, for a time,
at least, TO be a wage-earner after mar
rage.
One prominent college professor ex-
plains further: Il refer, of course, to
young married couples where each be-
fore marriage was earning from SO TO
SD a week. and I believe that each
should continue a wage-earner until the
husbands income has risen to at least
500"
March Always Forward.
Mild echoes of controversy over the
assertions are still heard. Meantime the
fact is self-manifested that the most
conspicuous advance OF modern woman
has been In the line Of wage-earning. in
numbers employed or seeking employ
ment, and in the diversity of trades and
professions open TO feminine workers.
Whether a woman who wishes 10 work
be married or single makes little differ

striven to displace few teachers, have

marriage ties are bar to useful wo-

BRYAN SAYS HE IS
OPPOSED TO GRAY
Jefersonian Holds Telegram
From Silver Tongue Orator
Until After Convention

The Jeffersonian, which is the origin Of
the Democratic League, in yesterday S
issue printed telegram from William
Jennings Bryan. stating that he did not
favor the nomination Of Judge Gray.
Many people are now asking why the JEFF
fersonian people did not use this telegram
at the recent Democratic Convention, II
they are SO pleased to learn that Mr..
Bryan will oppose him being nominated
as It was received the day before the
convention.
1t appears that on May 30 the Jeffer-
sonian sent the following letter to VIII
liam Jennings Bryan.
Hon. william J. Bryan:
Esteemed Sir: 1t has been publicly
announced here by a professed Demo-
cratic leader. one who supported the
ticket in 1896 and 1900, that in the
event of the nomination Of George
Gray for President. that you would
endorse him and give him your sup
port. The said Democrat states that
he is confident you would favor his
nomination. The 'Jenersonlan" can
not accept such a declaration without
your confirmation. We ask you to
wire us as to the truth of this.
Yours Respectfully,
I Democratic Printing & publishing Co.

or anyone else who opposed ticket

Friends Of the Jeffersonian say tina
Mr.. Bryan's letter clears away any sus
piclor that l.. Irving Handy had insid
information to the effect that Bryan woul
not oppose Judge Gray.
People behind the Gray movement in thi
State do not seem TO be at all frightene
by lie Bryan telegram. They are now pr,
pairing to get up a monster delegation {
attend the convention at st. Louis an
some Of them place the number who wi
attend at 200.
