To Alter City Ordinance.
The board decided that the pres
ent city ordinance covering the du-
ties and authority of the city physi-
clan and health rules and regula-
tons was not adequate and ordered
that another be drawn up which
would comply with the territorial
laws and simplify the duties Of the
city physician.
The meeting closed by City Attor-
ney Hickey informing DIR. earns that
under no circumstances would he
collect any of his quarantine bills
while acting in the capacity of city
attorney, at least under the present
ordinance.
The shock came during a discus
sion of the city physicians troubles
In collecting bills for fumigatlon,
especially in the case of DR.. Wilson,
who lives in one of the new Ray
nolds buildings on the Highlands,
and whose wife became in from
smallpox. DR. earns told the board
that DR. Wilson had told him to
fumigate his building and that he
had done so-halls and hoOrs-and
when the work was finished, DR..
Wilson would only pay him for the
fumlgation of one room, the room
which the patient had occupied. DR..
earns wanted the city attorney 10
collect the bill, and according to Mr..
Hickey he had approached DR.. Will
son on the subject with the under
standing that he was acting as the
private attorney of DR.. earns. When
given to understand yesterday that
ne was acting in the matter as the
city attorney, Mr.. Hickey said words
to the effect "23 out of this for me-"

The anticipated interesting meet

was held yesterday afternoon in the

ture of the disease which the patient
Of DR.. Wylder had, and who was
quarantined by the city physician
for smallpox, that DR.. Wylder is to
be exonerated from any blame re-
gardng the patient and that the
city physician is not to collect a fee
for quarantining the patient.

which DIR. Wroth promised would be
forthcoming. However DR.. earns
won his point In the case on the
point that he had full authority un-
der the existing city ordinance to
act as he had done in the case of
Dr. Wroth's patient.
During the discussion DR.. Wroth

again, and as a parting shot said
that she worked for her money and
told the truth and did not make

Heindel was evidently angry and
made no attempt to conceal It,

that there We're nearly thirty rooms

New York.-The attitude of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary oil
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 1 am not an
enthusiastic advocate of 1t because l
do not regard it as very important
matter. l 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 1 am very certain that when
women, as a whole, take any special
interest in the matter they will have
the suffrage IL they desire it.
II am more and more convinced that
hn indfSnano n hi n
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,
IL necessary, the soldier who will
fight for the home. There are excep-
lions 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:
Il do not myself consider that the
granting Of suffrage to women would.
under the existing conditions, be any
improvement In our system of govern
ment. On the contrary, think 1t
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"

Yes, where are the big red headed
turkey gobblers that spread their tails,
displayed their crimson cravats and
posed and strutted on the fence at the
old wagon shed?
A few years ago as we drove through
the country we gazed on fiocks Of
giant bronze and Hollands, white as
snow, gathered round the big barn,
roosting in the trees and gazing and
gobbling from the fences and the
yards. Today we may drive for miles
