NATURE SLAPPED IN THE FACE.
A Conservatives Severity to Fcminist's
Confession Of Faith.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN--Str: What
remarkable self-revelation OF the shallow
ness, the egoism and the bouDdiess con-
celt of the modern feminist Is afforded
by the interview with Henrietta Rodman
In THE Sun OF to-day. In stricter age
such Views would have been stigmatized
as both implous and disgusting.
For what II the burden OF her cryf A
defiance OF nature. 1t Ia not man nor
man made law that has placed woman in
n peculiar relation to the human race.
namely. that she shall bear the young and
care for them during their earliest years
OF dependence and helplessness. In all
places and at all times men have recog-
nlzed something sacred about motherhood,
just because It does imply sacrifice. the
sinking Of self In another for that others
good, and q consequent deepening and
strengthening Of the nature of the woman
who has undergone such an experience.
The modern woman, In 30 far as she Ii
truly represented by the vaporings OF the
feminist school Of takers. wishes to gain
all the credit and respect of motherhood.
and at the same time shirk the duty OF
motherhood. Henrietta Rodman's View
point Ia well illustrated by her reference
TO her adopted daughter. with whom she
has the greatest fun" Precisely. No
sense OF duty. no sense of the grave re-
sponsibility for the cultivation OF that
most wonderful Of all flowers, the child,
but merely as an Objective, the securing
OF the greatest fun" In sterner days
women have been stoned for slighter be-
trayals OF their sex's duty.
When women talk OF their career in
terfering with their home life they are
just talking nonsense. and most OF those
that do so talk know II very well. There
Is not one woman In a hundred Of those
that have careers whose work can be
compared In value to that OF raising n
family In conjunction with a husbands
guidance. And those few whose work
matters are usually found among the
celibates.
It Is the fashion Just now TO make
motherhood" the stalking horse for nom
sense of a very pernicious kind. II
mostly comes from those who are not
mothers, and who have no appreciation
OF the changed angle OF view that comes
TO most women who have children. More
over. motherhood by itself amounts to
very little. II IL a natural condition shared
with the animal creation. What matters
is the atmosphere OF the home that grows
out OF motherhood. Has Henrietta Rod
man never heard of Mrs Jellaby?

What seemed clear to us, and what
has very evidently appealed to the
member banks, was that II was wholly
within the power of the banks by
agreement upon nominations for di-
rectors Of the New York reserve bank
to render the precise method of cleo
ton Of relatively little consequence.
This apparently Is what the banks have
endeayored to do in the conferences
held here in the last few days attended
by representatives of all three groups
Of the district.
1t Is to be expected that the majority
of banks In each group will vote for
the conference nominees Of each group.
wisdom has directed the conferees to
the selection Of candidates conspicn-
onsly fit, and we are confident that the
patriotic intelligence and discerning sa-
gacity Of the bankers of the state will
prompt vote Of approval on the work
OF the conferences
Undoubtedly efforts will be made to
stir up opposition to the conference
nominations on the ground that the
candidates are in sympathy with large
interests. but the New York reserve
bank Is going to he bank Of large
affairs. despite the sectional prejudice
which manifested itself In much Of last

An Anti-Rooseveit Republicans Views
OF the Colonel.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SuN--Sir: The
pusillanlmous conduct OF certain Repub-
lican leaders who are trying to induce
Mr.. Roosevelt to return to their party Is
very discouraging TO those Republicans
who in 1912 were willing to see their
party go down to defeat rather than sub
init to the dictation OF one man. 1t In
difficult to believe that the actions OF
these leaders are due to any but selfish
motives. They want the Republican party
10 win. no matter what principles must
be sacrificed A party which stoops TO
such means Is not fit to win and surely
never will win.
This step on the part OF certain Repub-
lican leaders is stupid as we'll. All
through the country reports indicate that
the Progressive party Is disintegrating and
that its members are returning to the
Republican ranks. Under the circum-
stances II is worse than foolish to talk OF
compromise. When the special Congress
election took place in the Seventh district
OF New Jersey a great many prominent
Republicans pleaded for compromise.
Fortunately no attention was paid to their
entreaties, and as n result the Republican
candidate won a sweeping victory. He
received almost 1900 votes. while his
Democratic opponent. warmly Endorsed by
Mr. Wilson, received about 5000, and the
Progressive candidate. whom certain timid
Republican leaders were so terribly afraid
of, received less than zoo votes.
Therefore ] say, No compromise. Let
Theodore Roosevelt head the Progressive
I ticket In 1916 and receive the beating he
so richly deserves. The American voters
| do not love loser. and Mr.. Roosevelt
| having been defeated once will never
again receive the enthusiastic support
which was his In 1912. | believe that In
1916 the Republican party will nominate
clean and capable man. possibly ex'
Governor Hadley OF Missouri or Supreme
Court Justice Hughes. and. with sane
and sound platform. Will await the YER
dict of the people with equanimity.
As n Republican OF the old school
place principles above victory. and shall
therefore do all In my power TO defea'
Theodore Roosevelt In case he receives the
Republican nomination In 1916.

Feeding the Enemy,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: May
] suggest that your excellent corre-
spondent Mr.. Dudley Harmon should not
quote Scripture until he has studied his
Bible? He asks where in tho Scriptures
we are commanded to feed our enemies.
Surely he must recall st. Pauls inJunc-
ton to the Romans: "If thine enemy
hunger, feed him; II he thirst. give him
drink for in so doing thou shalt heap
Goals OF fire on his head" Romans xii.
