The Laurel Ledger prints an article discussing Senator Tillman’s criticism of the removal of Laura A. Hull Morris from the White House. The article speaks highly of President Roosevelt and also describes where a “woman’s place” should be, claiming that if Morris had been in her place “attending to her duties at home” rather than “trying to influence the government in her hen-pecked husband’s behalf,” there would not have been an incident.
