' '.' 73S ft f .hf 2 - -Ma..riiti i .. g BY EDITH. KNIGHT HOLMES. ' ' TOMORROW the long: - anticipated state convention of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs will open In Salem. A large delegation will leave Portland on the 2:10 electric train from the North Bank depot. Delegate! from all over the state will go to the Capital City for the big gathering. .The women of the Salem club have planned to entertain the delegates with the hospitality for which the city Is famed. Miss Mattle Beatty. who la In charge of tho committee- on headquar ters, will, in all probability, be elected the first vice-president of the federa tion. During the past week Mrs. C. H. Castner. of Hood River, has been spoken of in the highest terms as the probable next president. Her popularity has grown as the days have passed and those who are in touch with club af fairs predict her election. Miss Beatty would make an admirable first vice-president, capable of taking the reins of office at any time. Port land Is backing Mrs. J. W. Tifft for the second vice-presidency. Mrs. Tifft has always been in charge of the luncheons that have been a federation feature, nnd through them she has met many of the out-of-town women as well as those in and about Portland. At the time of the General Federation Coun cil Mrs. Tifft had charge of the hotels committee and carried on her work with acuity, tone Is an Intimate friend of a large number of the officers and promt nent women of the General Federation In New York and other Eastern states, and knows club work. From The Dalles has come a strong rlea that the president of the Sorosis Club, Mrs. Sylvia W. Thompson, may be named recording secretary. Her club has indorsed her and the leading members of the old Fort Dalles His torical Society are backing her. Mrs. Thompson is the treasurer of this or ganization and was instrumental In In fluencing it to federate. The historical Society Is keeping fresh in the minds of the members the old-time happen ings and the early-day landmarks of the state. Mrs. Thompson Is well known in Portland, where she formerly was affiliated with the Monday Musical and other clubs. No one has been suggested so far for corresponding secretary, and it seems to be generally conceded that the presi dent will name this officer, lor treas urer Indorsements are coming in for Mrs. Julius Llppltt. who Is a past pres ldent of the Council of Jewish Women and a leader m club work. Mrs. F. H. Buchanan, of McMlnnville, Is being mentioned as the next auditor, and La Grande is In all probability In line for a director in the person of Mrs. Vincent Palmer. Miss Marlon Towne, of Phoenix. Southern Oregon, who is general favorite and would give strength to the board, will be up for directorship. The call for the convention empha sizes that all delegates who go should ask for their certificates at the depot when purchasing their tickets. ..other wise they will not get their one-third rate for the return trip. Aside from the politics of clubdom there is the programme, which is full of splendid features. The programme In full has been pub lished recently, but a few of the prln clpal features are: Monday night, re ceptlon in House of Representatives: Tuesday morning, registration; Tuesday afternoon.

This was the statement made by Miss Margaret E. S. Fee. of New York, at a recent meeting of the Political bclence Club. She said in part: "Now, while there are thousands of things wrong in the world. I have found but two trunk lines. Out of these go all the various ramifications as blood from the heart Into the arteries and veins. On these two I base any work I do for the conservation of the young. - - SEASIDE BOASTS IT HAS THRIVING WOMANS CLUB Organization, With "Unity, Progress and Efficiency as Motto, Has Ac complished Vast Amount of Good Work and Plans Big Future. THE thriving little town of Seaside boasts one of the progressive women's organizations of the state the Seaside Woman's Club, or ganized two years ago. Its motto is "Unity, Progress, Efficiency."

The responsibilities of the association and the calls upon It for help were heavier this Summer than ever, and as a result the treasury has been sorely depleted. The Visit ing Nurses are doing a splendid work. They are caring for the sick an neglected, providing comfort for th friendless and the outcast and the lit tie children in want. Who will hel the association in its work of well doing? The membership is only $3 and each dollar is used for relief work. In previous years they have had th money for the sale of the Red Cross seals, but this last year the women's clubs took up that work and collected a large amount The clubs gave the nurses $100. Now the nurses need more money. They are doing the actual relief work. They are ready and equipped to do it In a practical way. Who will help them? In the addition of St. Johns and Linn ton their territory has grown but their funds haven't taken any added growth.

St. Mark's Guild, of which Mrs. Archibald Is president, gave a success ful entertainment Tuesday night when Miss Irene Campbell. pianist; Miss Dorothy Louise Bliss, violinist, and Miss Edna Bertsch. reader, presented an excellent programme. "One in the too rapid population which prevents parents from havins the time and education to raise chil- ren to the finest citlienship. The first tep in the conservation of the young is the conservation of the parents their health and brain optimism and clear vision. Fifty per cent of the de- inauents In our country today either are orphaned or deserted children. And while there are many schools for tne delinquents not one of them has proved success. Two years ago 6J per cent of the inmates of our penitentiaries were instltutlon-brought-up children. No woman has a right to give birtn to more children than she can care for intelligently and well, and keep well and sweet-tempered herself. I have frequently heard It said. "Oh. the older children take care of the younger." This simply Is a criminal case of the blind leading the blind. The older ones nave no right to have their young shoulders burdened with the care of the younger. and their development checked and blighted and the younger ones have no right to be trained under the immature Judgment of the older ones. Each child has its own characteristics, and there fore needs individual attention. "The world today is growing logical. psychological and, through psychology, sympathetic. In the old days certain crimes had certain penalties. Today in our own great courts when a man is proved guilty a study is made of the why of It. Who were his ancestors? How was he brought up? What nat ural inborn tendencies did he have to combat? What chance has he had? And according to these circumstances our great judges are pronouncing sentence. 'My second reason is that all through the ages we have had too much of the 1 cross and too little of the Christ. "The world has had 1000 times too much of the cross and 1.000.000 times too little of the Christ. "I have often heard people say. "The child can never repay the mother for what she suffered for It." She never suffered one atom for it not one. throb of pain for It. It did not ask to come. It did. not force itself upon her. She forces It Into life. She compels it to assume all the burdens and privileges of living and sending Its influence on through the endless waves of space. The woman who can say to her child, "Mother Is responsible to the world for you, dear," Is the true woman. "Train the child in the picking out of beauty in others. Protect him by giving him little fads, allow h Im -to col lect all sorts of things and get all the Information lie can about them. Teach him the science of play and the love of work. Never tire him. Let him change the minute you see he is begin ning to wearv of. a thing or he will get sick of It. and that Is fatal. "And pictures I have wonderful faith in the right kind of pictures and great horror of the wrong. "But there are two things without which we will never have world peace or any other kind of peace, and these are honesty and reverence. Reverence for itself, for Its own body, for Its own properties, for its rights, and for the properties and rights of others. One thought in closing The home life of the average child is about 15 years. One-third of that time the child sleeps, which leaves ten years. Two thirds of this time lie Is at school or at play; this leaves the mother only six years out of his life to prepare him for it and its influences and his influ ences on eternity. There is no time to waste; there is only time to work. And there is no sacrifice about itv The mother love is inexhaustible. At Multnomah School an exhibit of work dene by the children will be shown Monday. Dr. Anna Strong will give an address. The Jolly Dozen Club, of Marshfield, met on Wednesday with Mrs. H. M. Al- bee.
