Be says: "Seldom, If ever, baa a question of such overwhelming Importance arisen In eur economic development. Itls pressing for solution and it will be solved. The Re publican party may solve It, or the Dam oc ratio Dcrtr may solve It, or It may be " tbat before m eolution Is foand a new party will arise on tba ruins ot the old ones. Tbs solution may come soon or it may belong delayed. It depends on how speedily tba American people awaken to their peril. I am Inclined to believe there will be dark days before the awakening tomesdays full of want and suffering and disaster. My belief also Is tbat out of tbs demand tor a solution of this ques tion will ba wrought a political revolu tion tbat will shake present organisa tions at tbsir baas, perhaps wipe tbt-ra out" ' As for tba Republican party solving tbs question there Is absolutely ao hop whatever from that source, nor do the people of thla country ' look for any ai? from tbemj but the Democratic party will when It comes into its own, sol vet he question satisfactorily without tbs necessity of a third party, as the senator auggests.

" AM OPPOSED TO ANY KINO OF SOCIAL DISTINC TION WHICH TENDS TO SEPARATE THE PEOPLE INTO CLASSES AND MAKE A SET OP PEOPLE LIVING UPTOWN IN NEW YORK PEEL THEMSELVES ABOVE THE PLAIN PEOPLE. It is Fifth avenue and not the east aids that creates social distinctions by trying to think itaelf different from the less fortunate half of mankind. At theiioayitals where I worked as a student I got my first insight into human misery and began to look for the cause of it all. I BECAME SAT ISFIED THAT ALMOST ALL OF THE SUFFERING AMONG THE POOR IS DUE TO SOME ONE'S SELFISH NESS, AND SOMETIMES THE SELFISH ONES ARE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MY OWN NEIGHBORS IN MADISON AVENUE, FIFTH AVENUE AND ELSEWHERE. n n . I want to help get rid of some of this selfifchness. I believe in the plain people and want to do all I can to help them to develop them selves. I feel, therefore, that I can serve society best by living in a house which denies the existence of classes and which claims equal opportunities for everybody. There are particular phases of the university settlement work in which I am especially inter ested, such as prison reform and improvement of the public schools. K It It I take a deep interest in every question affecting the relation of capital and labor or of the rich and the poor, and believe myself to be thoroughly democratic in spirit and feeling. I WANT TO 8EE THE PUBLIC 8CHOOL8 DEVELOPED INTO SOMETHING MORE THAN MERE PLACE8 WHERE LEARNING 18 IMPARTED FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS A DAY. EVERY 8CH00LH0U8E 8HOULD BE MADE THE 80CIAL CENTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Some of the teachers should live in them, and they ought to bo made use of afternoons and evenings, holidays and Sundays, as meeting places and recreation resorts for the people. The univer sity settlement has secured the use of a schoolhouse in which this idea is being worked out. ALL WOMEN ARE THE POLITICAL INFERIORS OF ALL MEN IN AMERICA . . By Dr. MARY PUTNAM J AC0BI LL WOMEN, NO MATTER HOW WELL BORN, HOW WELL EDUCATED, HOW INTELLIGENT, HOW RICH, HOW SERVICEABLE TO THE STATE, ARE THE PO LITICAL INFERIORS OF ALL MEN, NO MATTER HOW BASE BORN, HOW POVERTY STRICKEN, HOW IGNORANT, HOW VICIOUS, HOW BRUTAL.

COM MUNITIES ARE AGITATED AND LEGISLATURES CON VULSED TO DEVISE MEANS TO SECURE THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE TO THE ILLITERATE VOTER, and the writers, journalists, physicians, teachers the wives and daughters and companions of the best educated men in the state are left in silence, blotted out, swamped, obliterated, behind this cloud of often besotted ignorance. Today the immigrants pouring in through the open gates of our seaport towns, the Indian when settled in severalty, the negro hardly emancipated from the degradation of 200 years of slavery, may all share in the sovereignty of the state. The white woman, the American woman, the woman in whose veins runs the blood of those heroic colonists who founded our country, of those women who helped to sustain the courage of therr husbands in the Revolution, the voman who may have given the flower of her youth and health in the service of our civil war this woman is excluded. TODAY WOMEN CONSTITUTE THE ONLY CLASS OF SANE PEOPLE EXCLUDED FROM THE FRANCHISE, THE ONLY CLASS DEPRIVED OF POLIT ICAL REPRESENTATION, EXCEPT THE TRIBAL IN DIANS AND THE CHINESE. Special Correipondenco-J -' By comparison with the glowing ac. counta received by the president in the last few weeks of the existence of bears In other parti of the country Mississippi is a poor bear country, and the trip made by the president down there waa a futile one even before be had started. But In the western state, In fact almoat everywhere else than Mississippi, bears are plentiful and are just waiting with beating hearts to be shot. The president baa been told doaeu tlntes recently about place where be can find bears every few minutes, ' and, Ilka the flaherman ' of old. be will probably be tared to again try bia luck.' Senator Warren of Wy oming told the president about the multitude of beara In to Bocky moun tain reglona of Wyoming. .The Colore do people have succeeded In impress ing the president with the fact tbat beara almoat grow on limbs in tbat state. " The president told Senator Warren that be la going to take a long bant next spring if nothing he now contemplates prevents. He will spend a few weeks in Colorado and go Into Wyoming and other western states. If there are bears, he wants to And them. and they had better keep out of bis way, as the bear creation will have to pay for the disappointments visited upon the president In Mississippi. The president is looking forward to a long and healthful recreation In the west in the coming spring and early summer, and, as well as he can do so. lie is making plans to spend a long time sway from Washington. "Haak" Smith'. Two Bills. Representative "IIank" Smith of Michigan, who Is one of those left at home by the unfavorable action of a nominating convention, is not solic itous about his own welfare, for he will move to Baltimore to be general counsel of the Wabash railroad at that point, but be is worried about some of bis fellow "has beens" In the house. To tbat end Mr. Smith has prepared two bills, which he hopes to introduce soon. One is to be called "an act for the amelioration of those who didn't get back." It will provide that the government shall discbarge the twelve young men wbo are now eating at the expense of the govern tnent in Professor Wiley's food tests and increase the number of candidates for the "poison squad" to twenty-four. Representative Smith thinks he can find twenty-four "has beens" who would b glad to take the places of the original "poison squad" and get free board for a year and hopes to have his bill enacted into law, His second bill will be entitled "An act to bu'st trusts, and particularly the coal trust" It will provide tbat all the Has beens" In the house shall be set to chopping wood and putting It on the market Mr. Smith says thla will be a terrible blow to the coal, trust President Roosevelt Is not so much of a theater goer aa was bis distin guished predecessor.'
