Texas and I'm California, few become per-

Compared with the numbers Of Ital-
fans and Slavs coming In upon the AT

immigrants Is still small-between 60.OOo
and 100000 a year. They are, however.

To the Editor Of The Star:
, Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker Of Denver. for
mer president of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs. and the only woman
whom MI Roosevelt invited to take part
in the conference of governors. was
asked by the Denver News what she
thought of the Presidents recent letter
on woman suffrage and his statement
special improvement in the condition OF
women Mrs Decker is reported as say
ing:
''It is evident that he has not made
careful study of the matter. He knows
nothing of the humane measures which
have been passed by our legislature
through the influence of women. am
convinced that the men Of the state would
join the women in declaring that woman
suffrage has been a success in Colorado,
and even would fight to prevent 1t from
being taken from them, Before this Mrs.
Decker had written: Under equal SUI
frage there is a much more chivalrous
devotion and respect on the part OF men,
who look upon their sisters not as play
things or as property. but as equals and
fellow citizens.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Longs
daughter Margaret. who is now resi-
dent OF Denver, writes: 1T seems to me
impossible that any one can live in Colo
RADIO long enough to get into touch with
the life here and not realize that women
count for more in all the affairs Of this
state than they do where they have not
the power that the suffrage gives. More
attention is paid to their wishes and
much greater weight gwen TO their opii-

say. The members OF the numerous sub

In a recent labor bulletin issued by the
Department OF Commerce and Labor the
subject of Mexican Labor in the United
States is considered. 1t Is said in part
that within less than decade there has
been a large increase in the amount Of
Mexican labor employed In the United
States, but more marked even has been
the increasing range Of Its distribution.
AS recently as 1900 immigrant Mexicans
were seldom found more than a hundred
miles from the border. Now they are
working az unSkilled laborers and as sec
ton hands as far east as Chicago and as
far north as Iowa. Wyoming and San
Francisco. The number of different in
dustries in the southwest which are de-
pendent upon Mexican labor is increasing.
