MAN AND WOMAN PARTNERS.

The relationship Of man and woman Is
the fundamental relationship that stands
AZ the base of the whole social structure
Much can be done by law toward putting
women on footing Of complete and entire
equal rights with manufacturing the
right TO vote, the right TO hold and use
property, and the right TO enter any pro-
fesson she desires on the same terms as
the man Yet when this has been done IL
will amount to little. unless, on the one
hand, the man himself realizes his duty
10 the woman, and unless, on the other
hand, the woman realizes that she has no
claim to rights unless she performs the
duties that go with those rights and that
alone justify her in appealing to them.
A cruel. selfish or licentious man Is an
abhorrent member Of the community, but
after all, his actions are no worse In the
long run than those OF the woman who is
content TO be a parasite on others, who is
cold, selfish caring for nothing but friyo-
lous pleasure and ignoble ease. The law
Of worthy effort, the law Of service for a
worthy end, without regard to whether it
brings pleasure or pain. is the only right
law Of life, whether for man or for wom-
an. The man must not be selfish; nor. II
the woman is wise will she let the man
grow selfish. and this not only for her
own sake but for his. One OF the prime
needs is TO remember that almost every
duty is composed Of two seemingly con-
hicting elements, and that over-insistence
on one, to the exclusion Of the other
may defeat its own end. Any man who
studies the statistics of the birth rate

BY Theodore Roosevelt.

TT is curious to see how difficult II is
to make some men understand that
II insistence upon one factor does not
and must not mean failure fully to recog-
nize other factors. The selfish individual
needs to be taught that we must now
shackle cunning by law exactly as few
centuries back we shackled force by law.
Unrestricted individualism spells ruin TO
the individual himself. But so does the
elimination Of individualism, whether by
law or custom. tits a capital error TO fall
To recognize the vital need of good laws.
1t is also a capital error TO believe that
good laws will accomplish anything un-
less the average man has the right stun
i'm him. The toiler, the manual laoorcr'
has received less than justice. and he
must be protected, both by law, by Gus
tom, and by the exercise of his right TO
increase his wage; and yet to decrease the
quantity and quality Of his work Will
work only evil. There must be a far
greater need Of respect and reward tor
the hand worker than we now give him,
if our society is TO be put on SOUND

not be given him unless he is as ambitious
TO do the best possible work as is the
highest type OF brain worker, whether
doctor or writer or artist. There must
be a raising Of standards, and not
