PRESIDENTONSUFFRAGE'
Roosevelt Thinks Women Should
Vote. Is not Enthusiastic.
WOMAN'S CHIEF FUNCTION
Her Work in the Household and Rear
ing of Children More Important
Than any Mans Work.

New York City.-The attitude Of
President Roosevelt and of Secretary
of State Elihu Root on the subject OF
woman suffrage was disclosed at q
meeting under the auspices of the
National League for the Civic Educa-
ton of Women.
The Rev. Dr., Lyman Abbott, editor
Of The.1OutlooK; III the course of an
address in opposition to granting the
rights to vote for women, read the fol-
lowing letter from President Rcose-
welt, which he said he read with the
presidents permission, although 1t was
not written for publication.
Personally, / believe in woman's
suffrage" says Mr.. Roosevelt, at the
outset of the letter, which is dated NO
vember TO-, 1908, "but / am nat an en-
-thusiastic advocate Of 1T be caus& d@do
not regard it as q very important mat
ter.sI 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 adopted
it. / do not think that giving the
women suffrage will produce any
marked improvement in the condition
of women. do not believe that it
will produce any of the evils feared,
and am very certain that when wom-
en-, as whole, take any special in
terest in the matter they will have
the suffrage. if they desire it.
"But at present think most OF them
-, 7 ofiryitrY Fn1s
it, and some activity against It,. |
am, for the reasons above given, rafh-
er what you would regard as luke
warm or tepid in my support Of it be-
cause, while / believe in it, do not
regard it as Of very much import
ance.
Il believe that man and woman
should stand on an equality of right,
but / do not believe that equality Of
right means identity of function; and
am more and more convinced that
the great field, the indispensable field,
for the usefulness Of women is as the
mother Of the family
ut is her work in the household, in
the home, her work in bearing and
rearing the children, which is more
important than any mans Work, ana
it is that work which should be nor
.mally the woman's special work, just
as normally the mans work should
be that of the breadwinner, the sup
porter of the home, and, if necessary,
the soldier who will fight for the
home. 4
"There are exceptions as regards
both man and woman; but the fun and
perfect life, the life of highest 'happi-
ness and Of highest usefulness to the
state, is the life. of the man and wom-
an 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 the children.

CORNER In WHEAT.
2000O,OOO Bushels, Biggest Deal on
Record, May Bring $1.4O.

Chicago, Ill.-James Al. Patten, the
corn king, with his partner, now con-
trolls 20,000,000 bushels Of wheat
more wheat than any one crowd of
men ever held in Chicago, the scene
of the worlds biggest corn deals, and
$1.40 wheat is looked for on the
board of trade as result of the CO.
lossal deal.
With Mr.. Patten in the big ring are
William H. Bartlett, George w. Pat
ten and Frank B. Frazer 1t is big
ger than the Joe Letter deal when
that young plunger lost $9000,000 just
after the worlds fair. 1t is bigger
than the. John w. Gates corner, in
which millions were lost by the cor
nerer four years ago. 1t is bigger at
least by 5,000,000 bushels than any
thing "Old Hutch" ever attempted
And yet it is not a corner. It is
merely a colossal deal. The Bartlett
Patten bull ring is not endeaVoring TO
buy all the grain in the market and
create an artificial condition, as "Old
Hutch" did when he forced wheat up
to 81. It's purpose is merely to use
to advantage what is believed to be a
Worldwide condition, and to have q
large, amount Of wheat to- sell when
the price scars. In their opinion it
will go to $1.38 or $140, not as a re-
suit Of purchase, but because of a
combination OF circumstances around
the world over which no man can con-
troll

COAL Mine EXPLOSIONS.
Demonstrated by Government Testing
Station at Pittsburu, Penn.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Coal operators, mine
owners, engineers, practical !. miners,
scientists and national and state Of
ficials here for the meeting Of the
American mining congress ,participat-
ed in the formal dedication of the
federal governments laboratory and
tasting station, recently established in
this city. A series Of tests in an
alN fclal mine, in which conditions Of
real mines are reproduced so far as
possible, showing the results from va
rious explosives and from so-called
safety agencies, was the most inter-
esting feature Of the ceremony.
The first test was with safety pow
der, fireclay and bituminous coal dust,
the latter placed on shelves represent
ing lodges in real mines. The powder
was ignited for the blast and did not
ev~Iode the dust.
There was terrific explosion during
the fourth test, when IL pounds Of
black powder and twenty pounds of
road dust actual mine dust) were
used. The recoil was strong and the
flames covered the full length of the
artificial mine. The test proved the
combination to be exceedingly danger
Gus.
At this point, experts of the station
appeared wearing the Draeger oxygen
apparatus, including metal and glass
hoods, chemical chamber and air bag,
designed to render breathing normal,
or nearly SO, while the operator is
surrounded by the most deadly gas
and vann~~ ''Fe men hurried into the
gallery, still filed with the fumes Of
the explosion and apparently were not
affected by any of the gases. This
device is designed particularly. for
rescue work, and was used with good
results at Mariana.

TO CHANGE POSTAL LAWS.
Proposed To Eliminate Assistant POST
mater General.

Washington, d. C.-The four Offices
Of assistant postmaster general will
be abolished, director OF posts, with
seven assistants, provided for, and the
entire postal service of the United
States, divided into fifteen separate
districts, If the bill providing for the
revision of the postal laws which is
being prepared by, the joint postal in
vestigation committee Of congress, APP
pointed two years ago, is passed by
congress.
1t is claimed that director of posts,
appointed to hold Office until remov-
ed for cause, and who shall receive
high salary, will tend to improve
the service through continuity OF
policies for the benefit Of postal serv-
ice BY providing for seven assistants
to the director OF posts, the members
OF the committee believe that the dis
advantages due to frequent changes
and the appointment of inexperienced
men to the four offices of assistant
postmaster general can be obviated.
These assistant directors are, accord
ing to the provisions Of the bill, also
to hold Office during good behavior.

tinue as the executive head Of the de-
partment.
Much information was gathered by
the commission last year in an effort
to find some means of improving the
accounting system of the postal serv-
ice. To perfect the system of man
agement, provision for fifteen super
intendents to have direct charge Of
the fifteen separate postal districts,
which it is proposed to create, has
been decided upon. According to the
bill, each separate district would in a
sense be branch Office
In addition to these charges, many
of which have to be recommended by
Postmaster General Meyer, numerous
minor alterations in the postal laws
are included in the bill. The commis-
sion is composed Of Senators Penrose,
Pennsylvania, chairman; Dollivef;
Iowa and Clay, Georgia, and Repre-
sentatives Overstreet, Indiana; Gard

Richmond, Va.-The supreme court
