ia man. They thrilled with pleas
ure at the mention of the
achievements of our president
and the mention of his own can.
dldacy WAS the signal for an out
bust of applause.
Mr.. Stevenson referred to his
experiences at the State Conven-
tlon four years ago when MIR.
Wilson was spoken of as being
n idealist, an impractical
school master. Sentiment in
South Carolina was by no means
solid for him. Now, he said, af-
ter nearly four year years Of SER
vice as chief executive of the
nation. Democracy speaks as
one man in praise of Mr.. Wilson.
He was school MASTER" said
he, a master who was able to
control a Democratic Congress
as he had controlled his classes
In school,"
1t was thought that practical
politician was needed. But we
had a man of that character at
Washington in 1884, said he, and
while the speaker would not
speak in disparagement of Grow
er Cleveland, he said what is
known to all men, that, as great
and powerful as Mr.. Cleveland
was. he was unable to manage a
house overwhelmingly Demo
cratic.
The speaker told his audience
of how in spite of terrific odds
Mr.. Wilson has succeeded in
writing more constructive legis
lation than all other presidents
com bined during the last fifty
years.
He dwelt at length on the
banking system put into opera
tion by the Wilson administers
tion. Then taking up the sub
ject Of rural credits he expressed
fear that q measure satisfac-
tory to the president and of ner-
manent usefulness to the farm er
could hardly be passed before
the adjournment of the presen t
Congress. Mr.. Stevenson eX-
lplained in some detail the de.
fects of the measures at present
before the House and and then
gave some conception of the
great benefit to be derived by
the small farmer from the type
of rural credit legislation that
he has himself favored for some
time, that the president now
favors and to which the party i.
committed but for which there
is small hope at present.
The speaker paid his respects
to Wilson's mastery handling OF
the tariff situation and of the
trying crises in our relation
with Mexico and with Germany
The crowd was with him q
every turn in his extemporan
eou5 but mastery address anC
when he referred to Chester
fields opportunity to have a rep
resentative at Washington tn,
applause was vociferous and pro
longed.

and in New York. 1t has been held
back in this country and abroad by a
number of considerations which scru-
tiny has shown to be invalid.
A mans wage is more than a per-
sonal wage; it is a family income, a
stipend supposed to care for women
and children as we'll as the Garner
himself. The woman's wage, on the
other hand, was held to be more per-
sonal. The worker was imagined to
be a detached individual responsible
only for her own support. In fact,
current opinion has gone further, set
ting forth sometimes that women
should be paid only on the pin money
theory. According to this hypothesis
their important living items were
chargeable to the male head of the
house.
This apology for not paying equal
wages to women is, of course, wretch
eddy false. Investigations have shown
that working women contribute on the
average quite as large a proportion OF
their earnings to the family support as
do male workers. In fact, the bur-
dens borne by employed women are
often heavier than those carried by
the men. The theory of a family wage
for men and a personal wage for wo-
men has definitely broken down.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

The public has heard and read
much about the general apathy and
lack of enthusiasm in the current po-
litical campaign. But there appears
to be no lack of interest where Colo
mel Roosevelt appears. As an illus
tration of how the people can become
aroused on occasion. the following de-
scription of his appearance in Dem
yer is taken from the Times:
HE hurtled from the rear of the
Pullman like fullback on the fourth
down with five yards to go. Into the
dense-packed crowd he plunged, teeth
barred in an expansive smile. The re-
ception committee fought to surround
him, but were hustled this way and
that by the cheering, yelling crowd
that had gained access to the station
platform. 1t looked like Colonel
Roosevelt would go Gown in the press

forced to use near-rough tactics to
prevent it.

thousand people were gathered, there

Colonel Roosevelt hard against the

he bowed as much as possible under
