Women and the Farmers Union.

Mrs. S. c. Mirrell, writing to the
Jasper, Florida, News urging women
to take an active interest in the Farm
ers' Union, says:
Il think the ladies can promote our
privileges very much by joining the
union and working for 1t, while our
fathers, husbands, and brothers are
endeavoring to solve and master the
business problems that confront us.
Since l joined the union and
learned more about it's principles, the
better l like it, and hope that it will
succeed Sisters, let's join in the bat
tie for justice, equity, and the golden
rule. then, when we have succeeded We
can enjoy the victories as much as
any one.
There are so many things which
require the best thought and action Of
the farmer. The financial exchanges
should be so adjusted, that when the
farmer has anything to sell. he could
realize as much profit on his invest.
ment as any one else. We should
raise everything that we need if pos
sible and buy only the luXuries. An.
other subject, and think the greatest
OF them all, is the education Of our
boys and girls. Oh, how we wish
them educated and refined. but so
many have to be denied the opportu'
mites and privileges that should fit
them for the positions Of life.
"If the tillers of the soil could get
their share of the wealth which they
produce, they could have more money
to spend. spare their children long
er from the farm and give to them the
much needed advantages that their
cousins Of the cities have"

Why the Boys Leave the Farm.

5. A. Hover, of the Missouri state
normal school, gives some good rea.
sons why the boys leave the farm. He
says:
One reason is because our methods
of instruction in the country schools
until very recently, all tend to lead
the boy cityward. Most of his
text books are written by city people
and many Of his teachers are brought
from the city TO instruct him in city
ways. Captains of industry have been
held up before him as models, and
little Or nothing has ever been done
to put him in touch and sympathy
with his country surroundings.
On the contrary he has been taught
that the country is a good place to get
away from that, the city only could
supply his mental and bodily wants
to the full. Until recently we have
had no text books on the different
divisions of agriculture that have been
adapted 10 the needs of the country
boy, and never word or instruction
from any of his teachers upon the sub.
ject. The idea with both country teach,
ers and country parents has often
been TO get the children away to the
city where they would have better edu.
cational advantages
This is all wrong, but fortunately
the country Is waking up TO the injus-
tice that has been done and reforms
are being inaugurated in many places.

PERSONNEL OF
BRITISH CABINET

LONDON, April 12-Oficial an
nouncement was made tonight of the
new cabinet appointments, and they
are identical with the forecast made
few days ago, as follows:
Herbert Asquith, premier and first
lord of the treasury; David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the eXchequer;
Lord Tweedmouth, president of the
council; earl of Crewe, secretary OF
state for the colonies; Reginald Nc
Kenna, first lord of the admiralty;
Winston Spencer Churchill, president
of the board of trade Walter Runci-
man, president of the board of educa-
ton.
John Morley, secretary of state for
India, and Sir Henry Fowler, chancel-
lor of the duchy of Lancaster, have
been made peers, but retain their pres
ent offices.
Colonel J. e. Seeley has been ap-
pointed under secretary for the colo
MES, Lord Lucas parliamentary secre-
tary of the war office, F., d. Ackland
financial secretary of the war office
and Thomas R. Buchanan parliament
airy secretary, India office.
The few changes which Premier AS
quith made in the old Campbell-Ban-
herman cabinet caused no surprise. His
aim seemingly has been to avoid as
far as possible any bye election in
constituencies where the faith in lib
eralism is wavering.
The changes as announced will only
necessitate four bye elections, of which
three, held, respectively, for John Nor
ley, Walter Runciman and Sir Henry
Fowler, may be considered quite safe
Winston Spencer Churchills re-elec-
ton in Manchester, however, is consid-
cred decidedly doubtful. Until won by
Churchill after one Of the most nota-
BILE contests 30 months ago this seal
had been for a decade a conservative
stronghold.

5ECY. STRAUS
ON EXCLUSION

The April number of TIE North Am
erican Review opens with an article
by Secretary Oscar S. Straus on The
Spirit and Letter of Exclusion The ,
article concerns itself with the laws
excluding Chinese from the United
States. Secretary Straus is strongly of
the opinion that the principle on which
these laws have been formed is I'M
fortunate, inasmuch as in the admin
istration of them United States" Officials
are led to subject respectable Chinese
travellers to unnecessary Inconvenience
and humiliation. The laws, as they at
present exist, make exclusion the rule
and admission the exception, whereas,
| in Secretary Strauss opinion, they
should be altered so that admission
would be the rule and exclusion the
exception. He says:
"As the laws are framed it would
appear as if the purpose were rigidly
to exclude persons of the Chinese race
in general, and to admit only such per-
sons of the race as fall within certain
expressly stated exemptions. l regard
THIS feature or the present laws as un-
necessary and fraught with irritating
consequences. In the administration
of the laws as framed, no matter what
care is taken to treat. with courtesy
and consideration persons Of the Chi
nese race who are lawfully entitled to
admission, it is impossible that those
who have to endure the formalities re-
Quired of them should fail to take Of
fence and to resent as a humiliation
the manner in which by law they are
distinguished from natives of other
countries Laws so framed can only be
regarded as involving discrimination
on account of race though discrimina-
tons on account of race, color, previ-
our condition or religion, are alike OPP
posed to the principles of the Repub-
lie and to the spirit of its institutions"

WASHINGTON SOCIETY
AND MRS. ROOSEVELT

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, wife of the presl
dent of the United States, is one wo.
man in official life who would be JUS
titled in hailing the advent of Lent
with more than ordinary satisfaction.
Although little is heard about the
activities of the mistress of the White
House, the fact remains that Mrs.
Roosevelt is one of the busiest women
in official circles. Exempt from the
necessity of making the official calls,
that bugaboo of the wives of men in
public life, many envy Mrs. Roosevelt
her leisure, ner privilege of naming
her dates and her ability to make her
own plans. However, survey of the
situation confronting the wife of the
president, as viewed by one CONVEX
SAINT with the daily life at the White
House, the fact remains that Mrs.
about Mrs. Roosevelts spare time"
To be sure, the wife of the president
might be as idle as her fancy dictated,
but in common with the other MEM
energy which she has common sense
enough to put to practical service and
a feeling of responsibility which im-
pes her to take many things upon
herself that some might leave to- the
care OF the retainers.
DOES NOT PLAY BRIDGE.
She does not play. bridge, but she
does play the piano and does it re-
markably we'll, owing to persistent
and constant practice kept up even in
the midst of many distractions. Mrs.
Roosevelt's knowledge of music goes
beyond that of the average per
former" and her interest in all
branches of the art evidences her real
devotion to the cause of music. so
well up is she in musical composition
that she is able to build" a program
and musicians engaged to entertain
Mrs. Roosevelt's guests almost IN
variably receive suggestions as to the
program to be presented. At any rate
the program always goes to Mrs
Roosevelt before it is printed.
Nor does she confine her interests
to music alone. Mrs. Roosevelt is an
ardent and intelligent lover of pic
lures and few exhibitions of any mo-
ment leave Washington without Mrs
Roosevelt having devoted some time
to study of the canvases.
The president shares this interest
with his wife, and that Miss Ethel is
going in for music and art Is amply
demonstrated by her constant attend
ance at concerts and art exhibitions
Mrs. Roosevelt takes the greatest sat
isfaction in the companionship OF heI
attractive young daughter, and thel
camaraderie bespeaks plainly a SINH
larity of tastes and predictions.
MANAGES OWN HOUSE.
Although Mrs. Leftwich, the Whit
House house keeper, is a veritabl
pillar and support by day and nigh
to her mistress, the fact remains tina
much of the daily routine of the hous
comes under Mrs. Roosevelts per
sonal attention. The purely officia
phase of social life at the White Hous
Mrs Roosevelt is content to leave II
the hands of her secretary, but not s.
the thousand little consideration
which go to give character to a hom
and incidentally to promote famil,
happiness.
Such details as the arrangement o
flowers and the working out of menu
