After assuring the assembled ladles that speech making was out of his line Mayor Haynes paid a deserv- ed compliment to the ladies of RoH burg by stat ng that since he had, stood at the head of the city govern - ment there had not been a single mprovement made along civic Hneyl biit what It hay the endorsement and. '; r. i r V , of the city, and that their efforts were largely responsible for the suc cess of these several undertakings. The cordial tone of the mayors seech was greatly appreciated by his listeners, and after a brief acknowl edgement the city's hospitality by Mrs. Evans the club gave a hearty cheer for Roseburg and Southern Oregon. On behalf of the Ladies Auxiliary.: Mrs. W. A. Smirk delievered and ad dress of welcome to the, ladies of the convention In which she said: - Madam president, women of the federation and friends: It becomes. my privilege, in behalf of the Auxiliary i)t the Roseburg Commercial Club, the '95 Mental Culture Club and the women of oui'i city and county, to bid you welcme. We welcome you to our city nestled among the ITmpqua hills; to the hos pitality of our homes; and above all we welcome you to the enduring af fection of our hearts. We welcome you the more cheerfully because of the class of women which our feder ation of clubs represent. The very best women in every community from which you come, and also because of the class of activities for which you stand. Yon represent the best type r.f progress In our modern civiliza tion. You give every member of our federation the opportunity of a uni versity training In the school of lif-. You endeavor for the development of the individual unit, in order to :e cro the elevation of the masses. The woman who makes her little home in the vlldernes3 or the poor woman, who Is struggling for maintenance of herself and family, these may climb the steps of civilization to the, achievement of noble womanhood Yon are the pioneers of that new state of society wherein our women shall come into possession of her just rights, and take her place in the great world's work. It has been ; said: "We are not struggling for bur rights in order to enjoy them selfish ly, but in order to better do some of Hod's work in the world." May heaven's rich blessing rest upon all women who - struggle for this end ; who climb from that fettered life which characteristic of the past, and ascend Into higher and nobler regions of thought. Responsibility Is educative. Education in the sense of development is progress. The pur pose of education is to bring out in dividuality and latent powers of gen ius. "No one is strong until he acts.

By tte In fluence of women is due the evolution of a new point of view. This potut of view means less attention to sys tem and more to the nature of the child. It means all the powers and all the faculties latent fq man; physi cal, mental and spiritual, that be may be the better able to serve his fellow- mun. Self-development for the pur pose of social service must be the aim of education from the human point of view. A new social order will arise due to the part women are taking in the progress of education Education Bhould include culture. but it should also give practical train ing. The playground movement in a number of our large cities has been carried forward by the women's clubs until its worth was demonstrated and the municipal authorities were will ing to take charge of it. The fact that Lti Philadelphia over 12ii acres of vacant lots were used for vege table gardens the produce being val ued -at $25,000 is due largely to wo men's clubs in securing for needy persons the right to use the' land.

While a part of the English wo men have been struggling for the bal lot and the Liutrnvement of social and political conditions, American women, through their clubs, have shown how easy It Is for them to se cure social and civic reforms with out the ballot. They have beauti fied towns by securing better street cleaning, the planting of trees, and the laying out of parks. They have also established the traveling library and helped to develop many perman ent libraries and reading .rooms. From an extract of Mrs. Philip Moore's address at Baltimore she says: "We come to the present time, the time of awakening and co-ordination, when we join with men's organ izations and even with the govern ment In Improving the conditions of our country; we have been Invited to Join and are giving our best efforts In considering such questions as con servation of natural resources, the protection of the child that labors, the suppression of the white slave traffic and other moral questions.

LEWIS FILES ANOTHER PETITION Couiu-llmun Micelli Objects to Paying Comuilmiui Clements $2.5 For Drawing 1'Iuiih and KpM' Ill cut ions For City Barn. That the city of Roseburg will be compelled to settle its rights In the courts la the event the officials per sist in re-constructlng the cement sidewalk of F. E. Alley, on South Stephens street, appears conclusive from a remonstrance filed with the city council last evening by Mr. Alley. The remonstrance Is brief, and at tached thereto Is a copy of thainotlce served upon Mr. Alley by Marshal Huffman, in which the former was instructed to lower his walk within thirty days from the date specified in the notice. Other than protesting to the re building of the sidewalk in general. Mr. Alley alleges that he appeared before the city council at the time he was about to construct the walk and asked for a legal . grade. He latins that the council considered the request, and after due delibera tion ordered the city enginoer to pro ceed and establish the grade. Fur ther, he says the city engineer acted is instructed, and that he (Mr. Al- ey) was given what he supposed a legal grade. Mr. Alley claims that he protested against the grade given him by the city engineer nt the time, but was informed that it was cor rect and that he would be perfectly safe in proceeding with his walk. To be sure, Mr. Alley claims that he later sent for the city engineer, and tiiat he set the grade stakes and ordered the contractor to proceed with the work. In addition to the above remonstrance, Mr. Alley pro tests against the city's contemplated procedure in building the walk for the reason that his property will be materially damaged in the event such action is undertaken. Upon reading the remonstrance Councilman Micelli remaVked: "Inasmuch as th?re Is not a scratch of a pen in our records to 'establish the contention of Mr. Al ley, 1 move that the remonstrance be rejected." The motion carried by the unanimous vote of the council. Mr. Alley's remonstrance followed fie procedure of the council at a previous meeting, when Its members voted to re-construct the walk and assess the cost of the same against Mr. Alley's property. As the mat ter now stands. It appears Imminent that a law srnt will follow in the event the city persists in carrying out the provisions of 11b recent deci sion. Squabble Over License, The chief discussion Indulged In At last evening's meeting of the council followed the reading of a letition in which L. L. Lewis asked that his license to conduct a "pour" beer saloon be transferred to 8 11. Meyers, who recently purchased the resort. Councilman Mullen had hardly ad vanced a motion to the effect that i he petition be referred to the license committee for investigation, when Councilman Sykes arose and suggest ed that the transfer be made as re quested in the petition. Mullen ob jected and the question was placed to a vote. Krobn, Mlcellf and Sykes voted against referring the petition the license committee, while Ilouck, Josephson, Sether, Natcher and Mullen voted in favor of the original motion. As a result of the vote the petition will be investigat ed bv the license committee and a report will probably be forthcoming at the next regular meeting of the council. Object 8 to Donation. Mayor Fred Haynes called atton tion of the council to the fact that Frank Clements, a member of the body, prepared the plans and specifl frations for the city barn, and was entitled to some compensation for his work. The mayor said that Mr. Clements had never requested pay for the work, but that he (the niay--r thought it only fair that he be allowed a reasonable amount. A brief dlscusHlun followed, and finally Councilman Krohn advanced a motion authorizing the payment of $25 to Mr. Clements. Upon being placed to a vote all of the council men cast their ballots In the affir mative with the exception of Coun cilman Micelli, who voted In the negative. In explanation. Councilman Micelli said he was not opposed to allowing the bill for iiersoual reasons, but deemed the action a dangerous pre cedent. In other words the mayor-elei-t assumed the posit inn that th council had no legal right to com pensate councilmen for their work Minor Mallt-m onlilTl. AI Creadon complained relative t: a shortage nf water in North Kow- Special Attention Given to Order Work burg, and In addition asked that' some action be taken by the council J relative to establishing a Are hy drant In Kinney's addition. The mat-' ter was referred to the fire and water committee for investigation. The graveling ot Howe street, lead ing to the dumping ground, received a set back last night, when Council man Micelli stated that the street Improvement committee had decided to institute an investigation and as certain whether or not the cost of the improvement could be assessed against the abutting property. Councilman Houck complained rel ative to the present system of clean ing the streets. He said that the dirt was swept Into small piles, and at times waB allowed to lay undisturbed for ten days. He also suggested that the streets be cleaned, on Saturday evening, and thus rendered sightly on Sunday. No action was taken rel ative to Mr. Houck's suggestions. The Southern Pacific Company til ed a verbal object ion relntlve to the contemplated dutlet of the Walte Addition sewer. Councilman Micelli said that the objection was well tak en lnamuch as the proposed out let was within a short distance of the company's pumping station. In order to relieve the situation, the city engineer was instructed to ex tend the outlet of the sewer Into the river and thus prevent any damage to the Southern Pacific Company's proierty. Upon recommendation of the com mittee on electric lights, an Incan descent 'Ight was ordered installed at the corner of Washington and Spruce streets. ! , An ordinance authorizing the pav ing of Orcutt street was read for the first and second time. An ordinance authorizing the Issu-, iince of bonds In the sum of $17,443, with which to defray unpaid improve ment assessments? came up for Its first aud second readings. The bonds are to run for aj term of 10 years and draw- Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. They fahall bear date of November 1, 191 11 Councilman Houck s so-called sani tary ordinance, published in n recent issue of The News, and regulating the maintenance of toilets In the city came up for Its third reading last esvening and was passed by the unanimous vote of the council, in explanation of the ordlnnnce. Coun cilman Houck said that the open toi lets were without doubt responsible for the typhoid fever epidemic in North Kosebuig during the past sum mer, and that the disease could be averted in the event the ordinunce was enforced and the property own ers were compelled to connect their toilets with sewers. Under the erst while ordinances Pr. Houck claimed it would be impossible to remedy present conditions. n. dkyohk is nr. n. Canyon vl lie.
