reforms were stubbornly resisted by those
who should be their natural protectors.
And this Is the work an ex-President OF
the United States publicly traduced as viz
ulent club movements which have crossed
the even tenor of the ways OF Womanklnd.
There are still many departments OF
work in the organization, on which we have
not touched, such as the Junior courts,

mails They are exerting themselves to have
the merit system made the basis of civil
service for all local institutions for the de-
pendent classes, In other words, have the
positions taken out of the hands of poll
ticians.
And do you really think, Mr.. Cleveland,
that all this work is done to retaliate on
the men,? What have the men done that
you think they deserve such retaliation?
Contrast the written word OF ex-Presl-
dent Cleveland with the spoken word of
President Roosevelt. The latter in an ad-
dress to the New York state assembly OF
mothers on October 49, 1899, said:
The mother, to be a true mother, must
be more than a cross between head nurse
and housekeeper. She must have an inter-
est in outside things to keep her own self
respect. and when she loses that self-respect
she loses the respect of her children
.'Of the higher education of women Mr.
Roosevelt said: No family can become all
that 1t should be IL the mother does not
keep In touch sufficiently with outside inter-
ests and what is going on In the outside
world to become an intellectual stimulus TO
her children. =

Carter gave his age as twelve years. He
said he took the watch several months ago
