have thus continued ever' since. By Its
action, the Northern facinc was com
pel led to unload Its passengers for the

distant. About two.; months aao the
Northern Paclflo asked to again use, the
station under lease, to which ths O. R.

WOMAN'S DISPUTE
The Club Journal, the official organ of

of Woman's Clubs, published In Portland
by Antonette Wheeler Strahan, has cre
ated a tempest of argument by publishing
an article, "The Rushing in of Fools," by
Mrs. J. D. Hassfurther, of Oakland, Cat
The article' in question needs no expert
to assay its object, which might be term
ed a polite, or perhaps humane argument
against the admission of colored women
into the federation. Tha author prefers
to call It "mistaken sentiment' but
Shakespeare would undoubtedly term it
"damning with faint praise," while men
mlaht label it with - the softer, nam of
"benevolent suffocation." No' matter
this apparently harmless thunderbolt- has
developed into a getting gun and invited
vigorous response from th Eastern press
ana penooicaia.- . .
The oDDositlon feels that an intellectual
assault has been committed upon ihe con-
science and in return emea its castor into
