Roosevelt Declares There Is
Widespread Need for Ma
tional Amendment.

New York, Aug. S.-Col. Roosevelt cor
daily approved the proposed woman suf-
frage amendment today. In a letter to
Chairman Alice Carpenter. of the New
York Hughes Alliance, the Colonel said:
Il welcome the formation Of an organi-
zation of the suffrage States to secure the
passage of the Federal amendment.
The time is ripe for the passage Of the
amendment. There is a widespread need
for it, more than for any recent legisla-
tive amendment. Twelve States already
have enfranchised women without pro-
ducing to even the smallest degree any
Of the evils prophesied. The women in
these twelve States should certainly use
this ballot on behalf of their sisters in the
other States.
such action is precisely like that OF
the men who use their ballots to force
the abolition of child labor, the passage
of workmen's compensation laws. the
adoption of a protection of a protective
tariff for the enactment of legislation to
secure the military and naval prepared.
ness Whch IS vital u tne NCly existence
of the nation.
Mr.. Hughes has uncQuivocally taken
the right position, and as regards all
other positions, he, and not his opponent
is entitled to the support of both mer
and women. and therefore the women ir
the enfranchised States who do not ir
this election support him forfeit the righ
to say they have done their utmost fol-
their sisters in the nonenfranchiseC
States"

MARGIE WONDERS WHAT HEI
Dear little book, within your pages
lie the histories of many lives dear
to me. You have chronicled the
comedies and tragedies of many OF
my friends. You have within you
the whole process Of the character
in the making of Margie WaVerly.
And now, little book, have come to
another place where 1 know there
is to be a change in the path 1 must
follow.
At the first wild emotion which
filed me when fell in love with Dick,
you remember, little book, 1 wanted
simply to submerge myself in him.
l had the instincts only of the primal
woman. wanted to belong. But 1
learned no thinking woman Of today
can belong to anyone but herself.
Then came the reaction and disap-
pOintment when 1 found Dick was
not satisfied with me alone, and Ger
tainly 1 was not satisfied to be one
of the 81 varieties of women that are
supposed to appeal to the taste of
one man.
Little book, the awakening was bit
ter to Margie Waverly. My soul had
been buffeted and hurt almost beyond
belief. l almost came to the con-
cIusion that nothing mattered but
the physical.
Now l am in a coma as far as emo
tons, ambitions, enthusiasts or
ideals are concerned. 1t seems my
body is taking so much of the real
me in the purely physical process of
making me well that my soul is SUI
pine and faIlow, waiting for 1 know
not what.
Yesterday Eliene sent me an I'M
signed poem. It's stanzas fit most
admirably my mood of today.
Straight through my heart this fact
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-09-16

l only mourned through bitter tears
My loss in sorrows blindness.
81 thought it only happened so,
But Time this truth has taught me:
No least thing from my life can go
But something else is brought me"
Little book, 1 seem to be standing
on one side of the door with my hand
on the latch. When l open it what
shall l find? 1t may seem strange
but my whole being thrills with the
thought that life still holds some
thing new for me.
