HOW WOMEN MAY RETAIN MEMS RESPECT.
By Carmen Sylvia, Queen of Roun,ania

Women should never forget that they stand
on a superior level, and when they place
themselves on an equality with man they do
but descend from those heights. 1t is the
natural instinct of man to venerate woman,
first in the person of the mother who bore
him, next in that Of his wife, then again Of
his daughter, or it may be of the sister or
sisterly friend who watches over his children.

But the senator pleaded another
engagement.
Definitely, the party organization is
for Roosevelt first, but would be will
ing to accept Taft as a second choice.
The machine faction is not for RoOse-
velt at all. For the time being it fav-
ors Taft, against whom the national
machine organization-the interests,
the corporations, capitals quietly
arrayed.
Its expectation is to land Fairbanks
Knox or Cannon. n t may therefore be
assumed that the South Dakota ma
chine is making something of pre-
tence in its Taft professions and that
it will fall into the plan Of the ma
tional machine when the time arrives
Meanwhile, it will use the favor for
Taft of the progressive republicanism
of the state to strengthen its local
schemes.
The organization wants a presiden-
tlal candidate who will represent the
policies of the administration. The
machine was a candidate of opposite
characteristics, and his name is not
