ern woman was defendeG by Mrs
Charlotte p. Gilman of New York, in
an address before the meeting of the
American Sociological society. She
declared economic and industrial con.
ditiOns in the home, not the desire of
woman for the high life were the
causes of race suicide.
Conditions in the poor home and
those in the rich both work against
the growth of the nation, Mrs. Gilman
said. In the former case the wife,
overWOrked, breads maternity; in the
latter the training which the wife has
received renders her incapable of car
ing for her children.
THE industrial conditions of the
modern home" said Mrs. Gilman,
are such as tC delay and often pre-
vent marriage Since home is sup
posed to arise only from marriage, it
looks as if the situation were suicidal
SO far, not seeing these things, we
have merely followed our world-old
habit of blaming the woman. She
used to be contented with those con-
ditiOns, we say-she ought to be now

go backbone refuses to go forward

Washington, Jan. Rev. William
j. Long, the man whom President
Roosevelt dubbed a nature fakir," is
on the alert just now and is taking
particular pains to find out all he can
about the presidents big hunt in
Africa.
DR.. Long has asked for information
as to whether or not the Smithonian
institute at any time in its history
ever fitted out an expedition for the
express purpose of killing wild ami
mails
The point is an interesting one, for
there are many skeletons of great
mammals in the national museum. 1t
is said that most of them were OBJ
tanned through gifts or by devise from
naturalists who obtained the speci-
mems after the mammals had died a
natural death.
1t is not claimed, at least Mr., Roose-
welt never claimed, that he is a
naturalist. He is a hunter for the
sport there is in it, and for the ex-
ercise it gives him. The president is
a firm believer in the killing of big
animals that are dangerous to man
kind
1t is not of record that he ever spent
much time shooting grouse, prairie
chickens or ducks. He is no fisher

beasts which would, if left I'M

VIII Start a Horse Hosnital.

II is the present intention of DR.. c.
A. MCkim, retiring state veterinarian,
and Dr. J. C. Myers of this city to
open a veterinary hospital in Norfolk
in the near future.
DR.. MCkim expects to return to Nor
folk about the first of February, af-
ter he has relinquished his office to
his Democratic successor named by
Governor Shallenberger Dr. McKim
has served as state veterinarian under
both the Mickey and Sheldon admins
trations and has become widely known
through the energetic work of his de-
partment in combating dangerous dis
eases on very limited appropria-
ton.
When DR.. McKim left Norfolk to
take a state Office he was succeeded
in his practice by DR.. Myers. 1t may
be remembered that Norfolk gathered
all the hOnors at the first eXamina-
ton for state veterinarians under the
new law in 1905, DR.. McKim tieing
with DR.. Jones, former Norfolk resi-
dent, for first place, second place in
the entire Nebraska list going to DR..
Myers, though the latter was i'll at the
time and was seeking merely to pass
Norfolk's central location together
with the reputation of the promoters
of the new hospital, is expected to in
sure the success of the undertaking.
Veterinary hospitsls are maintained in
many parts of the state.
