The defeat of the parcels-post measure she used as an Illustration of the short sightedness of officials to the necessity for this murh-needed utility. She pointed out that when Postmaster-Gen eral Hitchcock wa,s advised that the express companies were carrying pack ages under the four pounds, on which the Government has the monopoly. In violation of the law. he remarked that they had been doing so for so long that thev piightn t to be disturbed. "'ould any feminine logic be more ridiculous than this?" was Miss Bald win's comment.

Mies Baldwin thought widows and orphans a very tmirhlnsr consideration when the price of storks was Involved. To Miss Martin's declaration that women mere not fitted to deal with -u.h questions as the currency.

"If the tariff Is bo Intricate it la be cause there Is villainy In It." said the speaker. "There is nothing in an hon est tariff that any ordinary woman who has sense enough to keep her home accounts straight cannot understand. When women are enfranchised I hope they will begin to think about these things, about the currency, the rail roads and child labor, and see how we can Improve some of these questions. We are not blaming the men. They have done fairly well with only hulf a brain to work with. They need the ether half. Ton can't get a clear Solution of a problem until all the brain of the race has been put to work en it. Suffragists are clamoring for a hu mane world. We don't want women to rule the world and we don't want men to do It alone, for they have made a mess of It. We are after a world In which men and women shall work to srther for human welfare. That Is all there l to life. Industry, art. science and religion. It is the evolution of things. The ballot Is not the final goal. It is an incident in that progress, but It is the next thing and the one we must have." naster. Responses were made by I , . i i , ' . ..or h. b.
