In eclence wa call this change and growth evolution, but by whatever name, the fact still remain a that there 1a flrat the sowing time and then cornea the harvest; the Tlctoiioua reaper could not carry, in thr ' (old-crowned sheaves If tha patient worker had not through the heat and burden of tha day prepared the aoll and acattered tha seed, whether wa Uka It literally ot figuratively.

Our clubs, our organisations; our eo-educatloaal Institutions, our whole woman's movement, is but a result of tha work of auch women as Iduberge, who . In the aeventh century- organised the first monastic school -for. women at Nlvelle, making her daughter, the St. truda, revered ny , y ouaat-women. of the Catholio church to thla day, abbess, or 170 years later, when a succeeding ab bess, Hlltrude, boldly stood up before the magnates of state and church and claimed for tha women of tha monas tery tha right, as human beings, to con trol their own lives. - - - ' Later cams tha names of Mme.

Philanthropy , and deep religious convictions, with a natural revolt against cruelty and a God given instinct, the lore of little children, , have been the main springs to stir tha' hearts of women, and might be likened to tha soil ready for tba seeds of action and it is no present day move that gives us the blossom and the flower of the twentieth century woman. ,. The great boats of women gdne before have been working and mellowing the soil; the clubs,, tha societies, the International Congress of Women, the General Federa tion of Women's clubs, are but the re sults of their endeavor. It would be a better thing, a safer thing, and a brake upon our wheel bf progress if women would occasionally turn a retrospective glance upon the past and ask themselves how much of their, present prosperity they owe the women who have paved the way. - We ere wont to plume our selves upon our accomplishments. ; We would be shorn of much of our glory if ws would give tha full share to the women who made our deeds .possible. Woman today enjoy almost In every civ ilised country in the world, equal edu cational privileges with men; In many foreign countries they enjoy more lib eral political franchises than In Amer ica, but here propertyurights are almost. In many of the states, on quite an equal footing, but all this has been gained by the HUtrudes, tha Wollatonecrafts, the Seatone and Stowes and Stauntons and Wlllarda and the hosts of others who have pasaed on and by the venerable women who are atlll with us gusan B.

' The Oregon Woman's Suffrage society has just held Its annual meeting and re organised its forces for a renewed cam paign, but more especially to prepare Tor the great national convention that will be held here next June, r At this meeting Mrs. Abigail Beott Dunlway laid down the sceptre of active leadership and surrendered It into tha bands of Mrs. Henry W. Coe, who is in very respect capable of upholding it successfully and wearing with dignity the mantle Mrs. Dunlway has cast upon her. Nature has ordained that younger bands must take up the work when en feebled ones have to lay It aside, but that Mrs. Dunlway felt constrained to do this is a matter of national regret. Her strong presence, her ringing words and her commanding knowledge and ex perience have made, ber a. dominating figure in the world of woman's affairs for the past 10 years.

MRS.

She has stood , their defender against unjust and . discriminating laws; ever vigilant and never losing an opportunity to proclaim the gospel of universal suf frage, she has been an indefatigable sower of the seed for woman's advance ment in this state, and 'whatever of priv ileges women enjoy; whatever of laws for their benefit have been enacted; whatever of liberty comes to the women of Oregon In the future they will always hold In reverence the woman who waa courageous enough to brave the taants and Jeers of men, endure many hard ships and before the women who have now taken up the work she laid down were born, sowed the seeds of which they and the women of tha state. In the course of time, will pluck tba fruit. , It X Authority Exists for .. Making Sacajawea Statue Ideal .' Quite as much discussion has arisen Over what " Sacajawea's appearance should be, as represented in the bronse figure now .being made, by Miss Cooper of Chicago, aa .there has been over her unpronounceable name. Old or young, tall or short, handsome or homely, beauty or tha typical squaw T Shall she be the ordinary Indian - woman of the plains or Idealised as a representative of a great race and people, degenerated perhaps, even in her day, but who were the lords and mlatrasaea of a domain that stretched from ocean to ocean t The squaw of today has seemed to the majority of people aa rather an absurd figure to perpetuate In bronse, bence ths word went forth to Miss Cooper: "Make her age and dress consistent with her years and people; let no anachronism appear, but make her the Ideal of the spirit of ths deeds she , did; let the Curves of beauty rather than tha angles of cars be ber distinguishing character 1st lea v But beauty in a squawl The majority - of people aay, -yes; beauty in a squawl The idea of the as sociation was to make ber an ideal figure, but quoting from the Chicago Record-Herald there la good authority for giving a young Indian woman beauty without diverging from actual facts, and leaving sentiment entirely out Of the question, and it is known from the Jour, nala of the men in the Lewis and Clark party that this Indian this Sacajawea was a comely maiden, far above the average. , "It has remained for a group ot sculptors and decorative artiste em ployed in tba adornment of the world'e fair butldinga at St. Louis to discover really beautiful and graceful girla In the squalid houses of the 1 Indians on the sandy, shimmering deserts of the south west.'

' The mere tacy that few aotors have business ability. aW spend all their money almost aa soon as they receive It, does not mean that It la Impossible for a shrewd and conservative actor to live welt within his Income In perfect comfort I may take occasion to say here that one reason so few stsgs folk hare any money worth mentioning In the bank Is that they do not realise this Important fact a salary of 11 00 a week, for Instance, In the dramatic world. Is not the same is 1100 a week received for services rendered, let ue say. In the boot and shoe business. . For there is a wide difference between the usual theatrical season snd the tl weeks a year salary that hired people receive In, business. An average season lasts from 10 to. St- weeks; and, even If It reaches 41 weeks, you will note that It gives ths person in question seven idle weeks nearly two months and this, of course, mskes a Urge hole In whatever fund may have accumulated during the active portion of the year. For a young- girl of good family, ex cellent education and attractive per eonality, who, finds herself, through the loss of . her parents' money, suddenly pressionthe St Louie fair artists were for a time .almost beside themselves. Out of scores of applicants they found no models that met their expectations. Something In expression, physique, poise or symmetry was alwaya lacking; to sat isfactorily typify ths American girl, ac cording to the exacting conception of her by the artists. . ) Soma one suggested that inasmuch ss the Indian tribes of .. New. Mexico and Arise na have preserved more of their aboriginal character and customs than any other Indiana, and have lived far apart from tha white man's civilisation, that good, purely Indian models might be found among the Apaches, PI mas, Puebloa and Navajoa. So it cards about that the world's fair artlats'went hunt ing for models smong the little adobe mud houses of the Puebloa, among tha noisome hogans of the Navajoa, amid the canyons of northern Arlsona and among the foul and savage bruah wick iups of the Apaches, down on the seas of yellow sands in southern Arlsona and New Mexico. So, alas. It came about that tha artlats found, where they had least expected it, models for a new type of American womanhood young women perfect in muscular development, grace ful, sinewy, queenly In poise,' with finely molded features, an unusually grace ful bead set upon most symmetrical neck .aadahouldara1 Said - Setli M. Fowler, chief of the decorators for the electrical building at the St. Louis falrt . "We found among; the leaat promising conditions In Poor 110 miserable apol ogy for a home some rarely handsome young women. In figure and face there are some Apache and Pueblo girle who are the peers of any pale-faced aiater. In one Apache wickiup (a mere but of meaqulte bruah) out on a sandy waste, we found two. sisters, who with their clearcut features, great, gaselle-llke eyea, soft olive complexion, tall, su perbly shaped figures, snd great expres sive mouths, rare teeth and masaea of black hair, were the moat strikingly handsome people any of us bad looked upon in a long time. In carriage each was grace personified. They could apeak but few English Words. They had lived in squalor and filth, with their parents, amid doga, fleas and Uncle Sam's rations, with no other thought ever animating them than the next grub time, Aa models in any city In the world they would be in constant demand by artists. But they wouldn't let us photograph them, not even for any money we offered them." HUH'1'.. Resolutions Passed by General Federation at St Louis., Through the courtesy of Mrs. T. T.

Believing that the stability and perma nence of the educational, philanthropic and social work to which federations and clubs are pledged cannot be assured ex cept upon the basis of the faithful ob servance of civil service laws embodying the merit system. .Therefore, I move that the delegates here assembled recommend to the General Federation of Women's Clubs that It consider the work of civil service reform as one of the main Issues during the next year. -Mrs. May Alden Ward.

Neither of them le a young man, and they spent many years of their careers working diligently to make their names magnetic trademarks throughout the country.

It Is said that the women did all of the work, but that was snd is yet untrue.-. It was only after those long hunting expeditions that the women busied themselves preparing the meat, and they only did the work, the average woman does now. Compare the original Indian with the. average civilised man today The white man's society la filled with, murderers, suicides, thieves, liars, drunkards, crip ples and physical wrecks- Worst of all there are the Insane. Among the Indiani there never extated a man robbed of his season. It is contact with civilisation and his loss of old conditions that baa draggsd the Indian down as far as he is at pres ent, and I believe withal, that he Is yet a more perfect man than the white man, for he haa absorbed only a part of the White man's vioea, Every race has and bas had vices pe culiar toVlt alone. Such has not been the case with the red man. . . . That I may substantiate my state ments by statistics, I will say that I am 67 years old. and a member of the Six Nations of Indians of Canada, and that during my entire life there has been only one Indian of the Six Nations bung for murder. - " Civic Improvements Have Joined Their Forces.
