Biology and Woman.
The science of Biology Is taking up
the study of the family In the light
of present conditions. The approxltna
tlon of the sexesj through the employ
ment of the female In occupations
some time since held altogether by the
male is not accepted by that science
as an Ideal for the ryason that such
till approximation Is against the
course of nature. The basis on which
that approximation rested for several
years aa Its lies) argument Is to be
found In the teachlnga of Darwin and
Spencer. These men held that wo
man la nu undeveloped man. or man
In a status of arrested development
In opposition to this .teschlng tin
latest theories are based on thu
proposition of Wclssmaun. The latter
holds to the view that woman has a
compensating factor of superiority to
balance man. the delicate sensibility
required for maternity. The higher
Ihe race, the greater Its advancement
In culture and refinement. In the ac
quisition aL knowledge and observ
ance of the amenities, the differentia
tton of the sexes Is the more marked
and cmphaslted by nature Itself IVdl-
Ileal and Industrial equality between
the sexes science reprobates and ah
hors. Not only Is sexual Instinct and
demand against It from the viewpoint
of psychologic aptitude hut even the
physiological construction and growth
Interpose a caveat.
The decadence of Ihe famlh In New
Knglaild among the descendants of
its original Caucasian Inhabitants Is
traced to this great error of the ap
proximation of the sexes when deduced
to the limit Indicated hy the empho
ment of women Industrial life
amongst women Is held responattds
for the family’s disintegration through
the gradual evolution of the Independ
ance of woman Biology points out
that woman's place Is the home, not
the business counter, mill or factor.'
Hate Regulation Deferred.
In view of Impending legislation
whose urgency excludes matters of a
general nature that may be determln
ed after Dill and leisure consideration
the question of rate regulation Is held
hack. Perhaps It Is well that It is so.
It Is not seemly that even corpora
ttons that have demonstrated their
ability to take care of themaelvct
should be proceeded against hastily.
In this connection a curious rumor
galnjd currency during the past de
cade of days to the effect that the
piesldent was holding back the report
of the commissioner on corporations

a
signed for doing so la that this re
port mav he used as "the big stick”

LA FOLLETTE THE LONELY
(Special Correspondence of the Bos
ton Transcript, i
MADISON, AVIs.. Jan. ti. Upon the
eve of Hubert M. La Follette’s advent
In the national senate, there is much
curious speculation as to his career
In that body and some discussion as
to whether his strength In Wisconsin
snd the centra’ west is so great as It
has been In the past
The nation recalls the way the sen
ate tried to sit upon Senator Bever
idge with the result of tnnklng him
the most talked of member of that
body and giving him a national repu
tatlon The Intent of the senate may
be alike In each case, but the under
lying causes are profoundly different.
They sat upon Beveridge because
they considered him young and he
cause If had been the unwritten law
that new members shall not he allow
ed to he heard. I,a Kollette goes to
the senate with the double incubus
of newness nnd the desire to talk and
the avowed hoatlllty to the Interests
which the senate conserves. If not
defends. In effeet, his election, self
secured. Is a tacit challenge to the
body, for he has been proclaimed the
particular ehnmplon of the things
against which tho seante In general
and the republican senators in par
tlculur have been arrayed. In nd
'snee. his campaign utterances have
been an arraignment of tho majority
of the bpdy of which he now becomes
a part. He enterß the senate to be
alone as no other senator In our his
tory ever was. He goes to a conflict
stimulated by the expertations of his
western supporters that he will ac
complish something of moment, and
nrottsed by the open threats of the
senate that he shall be silenced, shall
not only be humlllHtcd, but crushed.
In the warfare he Is about to under
lake his talenta for organization and
combination will he of no avail. He
cannot use his retnsrkahle strategy

salient part of his character than hla
generalship where his pugnacity and
that sheer dominance of will which
Is a large part of the explanation of
,careers like his. must he his main re
liance. As square Jawed, as deter
mined as President Roosevelt, ns de

has hy a l.atln finesse which the pres-
ident bas seldom, though certainly
has sometimes exhibited, won his
ends without needing to resort to any
degree of compulsion, has ruled his
following more by request than be

nlvnnee with democratic senators he
may exercise his strategical powers!
and so gain an opportunity to be
heard, lint the democrats are hardly
likely to lend themselves to tin
strengthening of a presidential possi
bility who would make his campaign
along exactly Ihe lines upon which
tits democrats themselves hope to
carry on a successful campaign next
time. They could hardly exxpect to

Her skin as bright ns diamond’s bril

Ho full of health, no aickgess cui come

And yet so light, so graceful, that I

And tremble at tne breeze, leat the

Or evening breath should waft away
my dear.
Her robea are rich of silk, with golden

Fine gold her armlets; and a precious
gem
Wears she to deck each lovely ear;

member few remain. And In the
house at large the changes have been

only Bankhead, Lester, Hitt. Cannon,

.Illngham and Dalzell. Nothing could
more plainly show the brief tenure of
American public life than the exposi
tion of conditions after fourteen years.
The senate, proverbially changes less
than the house, hut even there. It Is
apparent, few have a life lease.
He will stand alone In the senate.
Outside of Wisconsin some people
have deceived themselves with the
belief that the president would work
with him and through him. It is
known in Wisconsin that the two men
are. If not quite avowed enemies, cer
tainly very far from friends. The lj»
Follette following is not not pro-
Roosevelt. The threatened revolt of
the state when the anti-La Follette
delegation was recognized by the Chi
cago convention Is familiar to the
country. The president was duly
served with notice of what lo expect.
He has not forgotten it. The l,a Fol
lette element has not forgotten that
he, whom they had so proudly and
fondly hailed as a friend, proved not
to he one. The wound has not healed
and will not. There are certain men
some one of whom the president
would like to see succeed hint. Any
man of average Intelligence knows
that La Follette Is not one of these.
The president Is most loyal to his
friends, even to the point of encoun
tering criticism. As the rival of these
friends La Follette is not to he en
couraged l>v hint. Both men are be
fore the country with panaceaa foj
railroad evils. The president’s tnes
sage revealed that his was not so
strong ns his utferanees of a year ago
had presaged. Which immediately
caused La Follette men to sit up and
listen, saving that the opportunity
which Roosevelt had neglected had
now become that of their leader.
Even a democratic paper, the Mil
waukee Journal, the Wisconsin paper
with the largest circulation. In a long
leader said this nnd declared that the
country now looked to La Follette to
carry out the policies they had for
merly expected the president would
entry to success. The two men are
thrown into rivalry. Into professional
i rivalry, as it were, both experts in
railroad legislation. The senator,
who had been the first In thefleld in
this specialty, had alwnyß felt that
the president had stolen some of his
thunder. It may be that the two men
are above all infirmity of human na
ture and that no Jealousy can exist
in these ciroumstancos and thflt pre
vious history proves it. Senator La
Follette enters the senate with the
senate and the president against him,
to begin a struggle all alone. As
such he must be a marked and most
Interesting and even romantic figure.
But how about the people? Are
the people with him? That is not a
question for a man In the west. It Is
known that the democratic south

cause the editor of the one negro pa
per in the state called a mass meet
ing which denounced him in terms of
equatorial exuberance. How he
stands l n the east we of the west can
have no exact, idea except that wo
notice that the eastern press has
much to say of him. and that two such
widely read and influential publlca
tions as Collier's Weekly and Mc-
Clure's Magazine are for him early
and late and that at least no other of
the perlodieals of national circulation
attacks him. It, would seem that the
past year has seen his strength grow-
In the west. Through the medium of
lectures before ehautauq ,as he has
met the people of the central west as
never hefore. He has been cheered
to the echo in lowa, Illinois and In
diana. Occasionally aome indiscreet
remark made on a warm summer day
has bee n seized upon by his oppo
nents. but the fact that notwithstand
ing this his hold upon the states bor
dering Wisconsin lias grown and
grown, shows the hold he has upon
the people. In hiR own state he has
lost nothing. The stalwarts endeav
ored to fasten an unpleasant, name
upon him. to dub him "boss." They
called him boss and said that was the
year of the Ragnarok of bosses. The
name did not stick to him. Nowhere
except in the editorial columns of
stalwart papers did any one call him
hoss. The attempt to class him with
Durham and Murphy and Cox was
futile. The special session of the
legislature did not do all that he want
ed it to do. But. then, no legislature
ever did. There has never been a
time when stalwarts could not by fili
bustering defeat some of his meas
ures. He secured as large a portion
of his measures in this legislature as
in any other and the glee of the stal
warts that he failed on one Important
bill, or rather amendment to a bill, is
rather forced and artificial. On other
occasions the social democrats have
voted with him. He lost the amend
ment to his own primary election law
because W. D. Connor, chairman of
the central committee, rounded up
the social democrats, the handful of
regular democrats, the stalwarts and
six of La Foliette's own men and heat
the amendment by three votes. It is
true that some of his Wisconsin sup
porters have left him. Connor has
been read out of the party by official
manifesto In l>a Foliette's organ, the
Milwaukee Free Press. It is true that
the failure of his Milwaukee city rep
resentatives in the # district atorney’s
offlre to convict Charles Pfister of
theft or bribery gave him a black eye.
and the revelations of the graft ten
dencies of some of his Milwaukee
supporters have hurl him. Then
there ls the natural psychological
physiological sickening over too much
of a thing—in this case of politics. A
mental If not physical nausea front
surfeit supervened In Wisconsin when
the special session of the legislature
was called. Everywhere you heard
people complaining that they were
sick of politic*. They recovered.
La Follette tried to get the leaders
to pledge themselves to support Len
root for the governorship. He failed
—then. Everybody said it showed
his power was declining, that he could
not scat Lenroot and that the attempt
to seat him had still further weaken
ed that power. But lo and behold.
Lenroot so far from ceasing to be a
possibility, grows stronger hourly, the
state is getting into line for him.

(Manufacturers’ Record.)
Pennsylvania bringing nearly all of
its ifon ore 1,900 to 1.500 miles, its
annual output being only about 600,000
tons, produces about four times as
much pig iron as the entire south and
many times as much steel. Based
largely on its coal, Iron and steel in
terests. it has about $300,000,000 more
capital invested in manufacturing than
the 14 states of the south. Massa
chusetts, hut a tiny bit of a state 8,000
square miles in area, less than one
seventh the size of Georgia alone, buy
ing *ll of its raw material elsewhere,
has one-half as much capital in manu
facturing as the whole south. Boston
has more capital invested In industrial
interests within tho city limits than
Alabama and Georgia combined. These
facts give us but a hint, of what is
in store for the south. This section
will continue from now on to hold the
center of the stage of the world's in
-1 dustrlal activity until It surpasses
Massachusetts and other statea in pro
portion as its advantages exceed their
lack of advantages. Our iron and steel
industry will grow until we quadruple
our present pig iron output and turn
all of it into finished product, until
the comparatively few millions now in
| vested shall have been increased to
many hundreds of millions —possibly
to billions. Our $225,000,000 cotton
mill capital will double and quadruple
and our varied Industrial and mining
| Interests will all keep full pace with
coal and Iron and steel and cotton.
Dazzling beyond our ability to fully
grasp is the future of the south. The
; rate of growth will make up step as
I lively as the rush on Broadway when
I New York Is in its moat rapid gait if
we would keep pace with Us advance
and not be left behind. The danger
now is not that the south will not
grow fast enough, but that exhlliarat
ed. intoxicated by the outpouring of
wealth, hy the sudden change from
comparative poverty to abundant pros
perity. we may go too fast. There Is
danger of sound and solid business
conditions being changed by this
mighty movement to wild speculation.
We may be cut loose from the old
moorings and launched out upon a
sea of trouble unless we hold steady
; now. It Is hardly necessary to preach
action; hardly necessary to seek to
arouse the south to its opportunities.
It may, however, be very necessary
ito sound a warning note not to go
too rapidly. Don't rush headlong into
every scheme; don't be caught by ev

which the south will be overrun may

room for vast growth, a great in
