Ne more promising sign haa ever ap peared in the political horlson than the part women are taking In "the municipal fight ri6w in' progress in' Philadelphia. It is well for Orover Cleveland and bis Ilk to deplore women interesting them- aalveauln. publio affairs and spealr-wtth poetic rervor- of the allent influence of the'' home and ' the-' more-, powerful weapon of love and womanly devotion, but : when women, become the "' wage- earners and people who know the eel much better than the honorable ex-presi dent know that few women are wage earnere unless compelled to .be they begin to realise how helpless they are in the graap of political corruption and greed. Just aa the women of Philadelphia are realising that they. are paying enor. moualy for their gas and other publla utilities, while the gang waxes fat on their earnings. The present movement In Philadelphia la being watched with the utmost In terest by the women, throughout the land. The namea that head the move ment are significant. No more can thy cry of "fanatical" be applied to a move ment of this kind, for these wome-i have given It a new meaning. The largest factor in overthrowing the Purham-Penroae ring in Philadel phia probably, waa the exposure mad in The Arena by Rudolph Ulan kenburg, and at the head of the Woman's City Party stands Mrs.- Blankenburg, who for yeara' haa been a social leader, as well as the foremost suffragist In the state. : - '";' ' -Mrs. Blankenburg was -one- of the moat distinguished women -who visited Portland' last June at tha time of the National Suffragist convention, and all who met end beard7ir feer confident that ahe will carry to a finish anything, she undertakes.- She la atrong, forceful and convincing In her argumenta: hand some in personal appearance and withal ao womanly that ahe wins all heerte te her. .-.".' -.''

The Federation Bulletin Worthy' Jn Every Respect. . . ;V An "official organ" has been the necessary -evil and erver-preaent bugbear since the creation of the general federa tion.
