PRESIDENT ON
W0MAN'S VOTE
BELIEVES IN WOMAN SUFFRAGE,
BUT DOES NOT THINK 1T
VERY IMPORTANT.
ROOT IS IN OPPOSITION
EDITOR GLIDER FEARS FOR FU.
TURE OF HOME AND FAM
lily IN AMERICA.

New York.-The attitude of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary OF
State Elihu Root on the subject of
woman suffrage was disclosed Friday
at a meeting under the auspices Of
the National League for Civic Educa-
tion of Women.
Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, editor of
the Outlook, in the course of an ad-
dress in opposition to granting the
right to vote to women, read the fol-
lowing letter from President Roose-
welt:
PERSONALLY believe in woman's
suffrage" says Mr.. Roosevelt at the
outset of the letter. which is dated
November 10, 1908. but l am not an
enthusiastic advocate of 1t because
do not regard 1t as a very important
matter. am unable to see that there
has been any special improvement in
the position of women in those states
in the West that have adopted woman
suffrage as compared with those states
adjoining them that have not adopt
ed 1t.
II do not think that giving the
women suffrage will produce any
marked improvement in the condition
of women. l do not believe that it
will produce any of the evils feared,
and l am very certain that when
women, as a whole. take any special
interest in tine matter they will have
the suffrage II they desire it.
II am more and more convinced that
the great field, the Indispensable
field for the usefulness OF woman is
as the mother of the family. 1t Is
her work In the household, in the
home, her work in bearing and rear
ing the children, which is more than
any mans work, and 1t is that work
which should be normally the won-
ans special work, while the mans
work should be that of the breadwin-
ner, the supporter of the home and,
II necessary, the soldier who will
fight for the home. There are excep-
tions as regards both man and
woman; but the full and perfect life,
the life of highest happiness. and Of
highest usefulness to the state, is the
life Of the man and woman who are
husband and wife, who live in the
partnership of love and duty, the one
earning enough to keep the home. the
other managing the home and chill
dren."
Secretary Root, in a letter which
was read at the meeting says:
II do not myself consider that the
granting of suffrage to women would,
under the existing conditions. be any
improvement in our system of govern
fnent. On the contrary, l think it
would rather reduce than Increase the
electoral efficiency of our people. l
am inclined to think however, that II
the women of the United States or
any very large majority of them
should really come to want the right
of suffrage for themselves they would
ultimately get it."
Richard Watson Glider editor of the
Century Magazine, presided at the
meeting, and in the course of his ad-
dress attributed the divorce evil. and,
by inference, the woman suffrage
movement, to IAN increasing weak
ness of the sentiment of home and
family in America"

LEGEND OF SANTA CLAUS.
Stockings Hung on Door Of Mother
Abbess in French Converts.

There grew up custom in Christian
countries of giving presents in secret
OIL the Vigil of st. Nicholas.
In Italy it WAS called the Zopasta,
which means in Spanish shoe, be-
cause the gifts were put into shoes to
surprise people when they should put
them on in the morning.
In many French converts the board
ers used to place each her silk stock
ing at the door of the room of the
Mother Abbess, recommending them
selves at the same time to ST Nicholas.
And in Germany a boy dressed as a
bishop would go round in vestments
and mitre and fill the stockings hung
up.
This solemnity of the boy bishop
came to be kept here with much care
and ceremony on the feast of st.
Nicholas to commemorate his youth
and his patronage of children. In
Salisbury cathedral there is, or was,
monument to one of these boy
bishops who died during his term of
office. The same custom was observed
in Spain, and in Switzerland until the
end of the eighteenth century AT one
place in England. the convent of God
stowe, in Oxfordshire, public prayers
were said by little girl dressed as an
abbess.
The custom, stopped here first by
Henry VIII. and afterward by Queen
Elizabeth, was in different form
carried on by the Dutch in America
and became in the end the secularieed
ceremony we still use here of Santa
Claus, person dressed in Dutch or
German winter clothes of the sixteenth
century.
