Theodore Roosevelt, in tne current Issue of the Outlook, today placed himself squarely before the public as generally favoring woman suffrage. Roosevelt, however, place the ballitf aa secondary to the home. He says; The exercise of suffrage can never be the most Important of women's right or duties. ' Women's vital need la a war against vice, frivolity, cold selfishnesaand timid shrinking from unnecessary risk and effort Vice, the folly of men and women, leading to the divorce court or taking shape in the curse of voluntary sterility, are fun damental evils of prime Importance, "I am glad that a good, wise and brave mother should have the ballot I believe In the movement for woman suffrage, and I believe It will ultimate ly succeed and Justify Itself. But I regard It aa being of far less conse quence than many other movements for betterment of conditions which af fect both men and women. "Perhaps one reason so many men, believing as emphatically as I do in women's full equality, take little In terest In the suffrage movement, will be found In the unfortunate actions of certain leaders of the movement. They seem desirous of associating It with disorderly conduct In public, and thor oughly degrading it by vicious assaults on the morality and the duty of wom en within and without marriage. "In western states where suffrage has been given to women, I am unable to see thnt any great difference has been caused, as compared with neigh boring states, yet what slight changes there have been are for the better. "I do not see much difference be tween Denver and the big cities of the east; yet It Is the women of Denver who stand behind Judge Llndsey. When I passed through Seattle last spring the city had Just finished going through a badly needed houseclean- ing, and tne votes or tne women nave been a potent factor in securing de cent government. 'The same thing la notably true as a result or tne recent l08 Angeies election." In Old Stagacoaih Days. There used to be nte wars In tha old stagecoach duy in England.

There wasn't any connection between a steam engine and a girl abut up In a box car, especially a sealed box car. but there waa a good deal to excite curiosity. I atopped worrying about myself and began to wonder what there waa Inside that car. I stood off. looked at It and walked all around It A freight train Is made up of differ ent kinds of cars, and this car was es pecially different fnm the other.

"Please don't give us away. said the girl, going for me with a pair of blue eyes not many could resist. You'd belter let me come In." I an swered. "If the conductor or any of (be train hands should oine a long there'd be do need of giving you n way." I went Inside and shut tbe door after me. Tben I asked.

Special) Leader of tbe La Follette move ment after their conference here have decided to continue their campaign for the Wisconsin man.notwlthstand Ing that they view Colonel Roosevelt seriously aa a candidate. It waa (aid WASHINGTON. Feb. 3. Senator La Follette, on tbe verge of a physical breakdown, ba canceled all hi (peak ing engagement for the next two week at Trenton, Jersey City and elsewhere and will seek complete rest. Chairman.

As above stated, he reached and over stepped the limit of human endurance. Senator LaFollette tas worked unremittingly for years without rest or vacation, having remained In Wash ington all summer, working from 12 to 13 hour a day. No man could In definitely bear such overdraught on hia strength. His physicians assure him that a short rest will fully restore his health." Don C. Seitz, who acted as toast master at the banquet last night of the American Publishers Association, rebuked Senator LaFollette for bis utterancea attacking newspapers, and today in an Interview added further censure. LaFollette did not conclude hi speech until the early morning hour. The 600 diner were yawning after he had spoken two houra. Toaatmaster Seitz, however, aroused them to interest by saying: "I shall not attempt, nor have I the time to come to the defense of the newspapers, which have Just been foolishly, wickedly and untruthfully assailed." LAFfERTY ELECTS never will be what kt might have been If the name of the Colonel had not be gun to figure so prominently before the public. .The La Follette manag ers themselves have no false ldeaa on the subject They may be proclaim ing, for purposes of their own, that there Is "nothing to" tbe Roosevelt movement and that it Is composed chiefly of noise, but privately they be lieve nothing of the kind. This I part of the fight Juat as It 1 part of all fights of the kind and almost always has been. Taft leaders In Washington see In tbe determination of the La Follette leaders an Improvement of the chan ces of their own candidate. On tbe candidacies of Cummins and La Fol lette and the movement for Roose velt tbey see a hopeless splitting ot the force of the opposition. Every thing, they say, conspire to add to the certainty that the President will be renominated unless the one thing happens that the Roosevelt move ment becomes a stampede that cannot be controlled. The Taft managers do not regard tbla as a probability. Ill GREAT mN-iVI WASHINGTON. Feb. 5. Represen tative Lafferty today elected himself Repablican Congressional committee man from Oregon to succeed ex-Representative Ellis. It was a solemn occasion, but It was effective. Senator Bourne called a meeting of Republican membera of the Oregon delegation, but Representative Haw ley was ill and could not attend.
