A WOMAh'S PLACE
IS IN THE HOME
If Women Want the Right to Vote
They can Easily get 1t. he Says.
but 1t Would Probably
Make Little Diff
ference.

New York Dec. 4.-The attitude
of President Roosevelt on the subject
of woman suffrage was disclosed to-
day at meeting held under the
auspices of the National League of
Civic Education for Women. A letter
from the president was read by DR..
Lyman Abbott, editor of Outlook, in
the course of his address, In which
he opposed granting the right of suf-
frage to women.
DIR. Abbott said that the letter had
not been written for publication nor
for this occasion. In the letter Roose-
welt said:
Personally / believe In woman
suffrage. though l am not an enthus-
iastic advocate of it, because l do
not regard it as a very import mat
ter"
lie said he could see no special
improvement in the position of wo-
man in the states in which women
are allowed to vote, nor did he be-
lleve that the evil feared would fol-
low the extension of suffrage to wo-
men. He said he believed that II
women as a whole wanted to vote
they could easily secure franchise.
lie thought. however. that a wo-
mans. place was in the home and
that her highest usefulness is as the
mother of a family.

believe that the construction OF the

other week passes.
The success OF Delegate Andrews
In getting the consent of the gov
ernment to add third story TO the
building, while it means a big inn
prJvement over the building as orig
inally planned, was also the cause OF
the delay in construction and a loss
because of alterations that had to be
made in material already ordered
This was particularly true OF tho
iron work which amounted to over
$4,000.
When the order to add another
story was issued 1t necessitated a
change in the specifications for tho
iron work and as the iron had al
ready been ordered, this caused a
dead loss, part of which, IL IL under
Isiodd VIII De borne by the governs
ment.
The addition of the third story.
| however, will give the building "a
much better appearance and will at
ford all the office room necessary for,
federal officers here. With work be-
ginning at once it is expected that
the first floor walls will be completed
by the first of the year and thaV
work will be pushed to completion
as rapidly as possible in order to
make up for the time already losh
! Contractor Anson has been busy
for sometime past with prelimfnaries

New Plan For coaIina at Sea.

w. W. McLaren of Ensley, Ala, an
electrician, has submitted to the secre-
tary of the navy new scheme for
coaling ships at sea. McLaren intends
to have captive balloons attached to
two ships, one of which is to be a
naval collier and the other the vessel
to be coaled. The balloon is to be filed
with the coal from the collier and then
moved over to the other ship by paying
out the line from the collier and haul
ing in on the other vessel When the
car of the captive balloon is over the
vessel to be coaled. a flap in the bottom
of the balloon car is to be opened, and
the load of coal slides down into the
bunkers. Mr. McLaren says that his
method is easier and quicker than the
present way.
