Just why President Roosevelt
should have conided to Congress- his
personal conviction that married NO.
men should not be permitted 90 work
in in fentesies e IS Is im possible TO say,s'
says the Charleston News and Con-
rier. There are some who are unable
to see or believe thatit is any Of
President Roosevelt's business. The
News and Courier is one Of these. A
raan with o fortune aud a salary Of
1 S50. 600 q year is not hardly a at judge
to declsre that an ipdueerious woman,
without anything but her health and
willingness TO earn her living, shall be
barred out of any respectable line Of
lE.emnleSiasns. Sk5 mas as much right
towork in factory as hfr. Roosevelt
hes 20 be President Of The United
Statee. It would be much better,
perhaps, 20 provide husband Of the
Irightaort and q better place for her;
but until these "acsdemios, Of whom
Mr.. Roosevelt himself has so often
complained can provide, or at least
point to something better than factory
work, they should certainly be denied
the right TO regulate unfortunate toll
era, male or female, who muEt toll, ,out
of their only opportunity to make
their way ia, q very selfshAgorld
AS the News and Courier adds, the
President doubtless had in mind his
Weli.known opposition TO race suicide.
10 would, too, be o glorious thing if
every mother, or possible mother, in
the land could be relieved OF the me-
oessity Of making a living FOR herself
or FOR anybody else! ij:nt the obsta-
oles in the way Of bringing this mil
lennial condition OF affairs to pass are
numerous and obvious. Tn the krst
place, tbe married women themselves
:.:sh. i; :'iu = heir rex is just now
making gallant struggle for emanci-
patton from the industrial tyranny to
which it has bean long subjected.
Freedom Of endeayor it alleges to be
requisite to success in tho pursuit Of
happiness.
If matrimony is 60 beymade q bar
to q oman g employment in a factory,
why should in not still further curtail
the opportunities open to her energy
and enterprise Who may wisely
draw che line between the labor that a
married woman may aud may not do
without hindeanoe or detriment2 The.
present Congress- assembled az Wash
.ington gives evidence Of numh Bring
among its members many willing
Yoskers. Some Of these gentlemen.
hsve shown o disposition to e3ao,e a
verbal lance ins behalf of deetasx,ilyl
queer legislative yagaries, but it is
iquestionable9 whether the President
has not &C last discovered one that
will daunt even theum.i In any event,
We ahnll wait With impatience Co see
what the married women Of the coun-.
try will have to say about it shouid
serious effort be made TO limit byatat-
