NOMAN'S Ire
Is AROUSED
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE OBJEC.
TIONABLE TO SUFFRAGIsTs.
is LIKE EMPEROR WILLIAM
That Married Women Should Not
Work Outside Their Homes is CIDER
tied as an Expression Of the Presi-
dent and he is Roasted in Address.

New York" President Roosevelt
likes to order people about, and par
ticularly to tell women what they
ought to do. He's like Emperor VIII
liam in wanting to run everything"
was woman's comment to the Equal
Suffrage League at the Hotel Astor.
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, whs
stood sponsor for this accusation, was
particularly disturbed by the presi-
dent suggestion in his message that
married women should not work out
side their homes.
"What are married women to do?"
she asked; "women with little child
rem to support, women who have
worthless husbands, shiftless husbands
or drunken, beastly ones9" 1t is the
right of every human being to work,
and married women are no exception.
[ do not at all believe in this notion
that married women should not work
for pay. The whole business world
is run Just to suit men now, but the
time is coming when things will be
different. Women workers will have
to be considered"
Mrs. Blatch described recent i'm
provements in the electric plants of
large factories in England, by which
power can be taken directly into the
workers homes.

The delta always makes more than can
be gathered and a scarcity of labor
has left the people over there with a
lot in the field yet. The slump in
prices last week came fortunately af-
ter the greater portion was out Of the
producers hands. Mississippi has
been very lucky the past two years in
the way Of weather for gathering and
the realizing of a fair prices. Let us

Protect your timber. Be slow to
sell unless you are made secure that
1t will be worked into the finished ar
ticle right here in Mississippi. Too
many large bodies Of our splendid
timber lands are coming into the
hands of foreigners, who cut it into
rough lumber here and ship to other
places for manufacture. Right now is
the time to stop this: Already too
much of it is in alien hands. We are
glad to welcome any one who will
come and help us in the great work
OF development, but do not want 9TH
ers to get the best crude material we
have and carry it way, thereby losing
to us the cost Of transportation and
the price paid for skilled labor in its
manufacture. Hold your timber lands
until you know fully the purpose of
the intending purchaser. Too much
fine timber land in the state worth
s2O per acre or more, is on the assess
ment rolls at So per acre. This is not
as it should be. Board of supervisors
ought to Sc that it is assessed at
something like what it is worth. BY
doing this the owners will be made to
pay little something Of the cost of
developing the country and making
their lands worth more money. Other
wise they pay nothing and reap the
larger portion Of the benefits. This
matter is well worthy careful inves-
tigation at the hands Of our people,
