COLONEL ROOSEVELT ON
THE SUFFRAQE QUESTION
Much, indeed, has America owed
to I lie fact llial her I wo greatest
men, Washington and Lincoln,
though they diil not neglect rights
were even more concerned with
duties.
j i Hi-iK'vr in woman s sun raw
1 wherever tho women wamt il.
! Where they «1<» not waml il, 1 In*
suffrage should not be forced on
I In* in. I think 1 ti nt it. would lie
well to let the women themselves
and only the women vole ait. some
special) election as to whether they
do or do not wish the voir ais a
permanent possession. In oth
er words, this is peculiarly a case
for the referendum for those most
directly affected—that is, the wo
men themselves. I should he en
tirely content to aihide by the de
rision eit'her way.
If the woman suffrage move
nienl were lo he judged only by
those advocailes of il who discred
it themselves and I heir sex by dis
orderly antics in public- and who
I assail I lie foundat ions of private
land public, morality in their rn
deaivor, not lo raise the sense of
1 moral duly in main, l.iul to lower
I he sense of moral duly in wo
man, 1 should certainly oppose the
movement. Hut 1 do not believe
lliese undesirable apostles are in
any way lo be accepted as expo
nents of |he cause, and I call sit —
lention lo the fact thai I hoy are
rominenl. not in the region where
woman suffrage does exist, but in
regions where il Ones not
I pin my faith to woman suf
fragists of tIk? type of the lat4» Ju
lia Ward Howe. Julia Ward
Howe was one of the foremost
citizens of tins republic; she ren
dered service to the people such
as few men in any generation ren
der; and yet she <lid, first of all,
her full duty in the intimate home
relations that must ever take pre
cedence of all other relations.
In our western states where the
suffrage has been given to wo
men I am unable to see that any
great difference has been caused,
■as compared with neighboring
states of similar social and in
dustrial conditions of which wo
men have not the suffrage. Yet
what slight changes have occur
red have been for the better and
not the worse.
Tlie suprenfe importance and
high position of the woman of the
fype of Julia Ward Howe cannot
he increased materiSTly by the
possession of the ballot. I am
flclad that the good, wise and brave
mother should have the ballot. I
am especially glad if its posses
sion will add to tlje high dignity
of her position in the eyes of men.
But. I cannot conceive of any man
now failing lo hold such a moth
er as more worthy of respect than
any woman, or than by any oth
er woman.
• In the long run, and taken as a
whole, men and women will go up
or go down together, and all re
forms of first-class importance
must look towards raising both
men and women to a higher level
alike as regards the things of the
body and ns regards the things
of lj«e soul.—The Outlook.

MILITARY POSTS
TO BE ABANDONED
Will Effect Saving of Many Mil
lions to the National
Government
Washington, I>. <1.—Secretary
of War Slimson, acting upon an
exhaustive report from the gen
eral stall', has decided that no less
than 10 and probably IK existing
army posts should be abandoned
at. once "in order to pnl an end to
|the extravagance and incllicienry
resulting from improper distri
bution of the mobile army."
The posts condemned are
Apache, Arizona; Boise Harraeks,
Idaho; Hradv, Michigan; (Hark,
Texas; Ceorge Wrigiil, near Spo
kane, Washington; Jay, New
York; Lincoln, .North Dakota; Lo
gan II. Moots, Arkansas; Mcln

York; Meade. South l>akola; Ni
agara, New York; Ontario, New
York; Wayne, Michigan; Whipple
Harraeks, Arizona; William Hen
ry Harrison, Montana, and Yel
lowstone, Wyoming. Oilier posts
which may be abandoned are:
Lilian Allen, Vermont; IMaltshurg
Barracks, 'New York; llobiiison,
^Nebraska; Missoula, Montana; Lo
gan. (Colorado; Douglas, Ulali. and
D. A .Russell, Wyo.
Hy the. concentration of the
army in eight posts, it is assert
ed, the annual cost of mainten
ance would be reduced about $5,
500.000.
| The following named posts are
said to be so located as to permit
of their being retained at strat
egic concentration points: Fort
Porter, Hnfl'alo, N. Y., (Albany is
suggested as an alternative posi
tion); Fort Oglethorpe, («a., (es_
pecially desirable for a cavalry
brigade,* ; Fort McPberson, Allan
la, <«a„ (with gr«*al strategic, val
ue as (o the South Atlantic and

Texas, (the best strategic position
for the southern frontier)! Fori
