Two General Measure
. For Club Women to Help. ' ' j ' ' ""'
Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker waa the
- central figure at the New Tork state
federation which - met in -Binghampton
last week. The morning session opened
. with a council of prealdenta over which
Mrs. Decker presided. The council was
meant to be exclusively for club presi
dents but Mrs. Decker protested and
delegates and visitors were admitted
to the meeting and the session was
finally, turned Into an open parliament.
"It. has long been a source of per
plexlty how to get the various state
f -derations, not to speak of individual
cluba. In Intimate touch with the general
federation. Until Mrs. Decker's admin.
Istratlon little attempt was made to
harmonise the standing committees of
the state and general federation but
good pro cress along this line has al
ready been "mada The difficulty of
communication between the large or-ganisatlon-and
state bodies remains,
however, and the discussion at Blng-
" Miawutaii was mainly dlrestsd tiwaed
this vexed question.
The general federation has two plant
which it is trying this year to push
through with the assistance of the state
' federations sad tha Individual clubs
One of these la the support of the pure
food bill In congress. The bill has the
warm support of all cluba but Mrs.
Decker Is anxious for concerted actios
... by club women all over the country,
which may result In the paaaage of the
bill.
The other plan Is a petition from the
club women for an appropriation from
congress for ah Investigation Into the
Industrial conditions of. women In the
. United States. This measure has the
backing of such' women as jane Ad
dams, Mary McDowell. Mrs. Henrotln,
Mrs. Nathan and many others.
The New Tork discussion of these
'- projects brought out many suggestion
and Intelligent schemes, but the ' best
plan offered was for the appointment
In every club of ' a general federation
secretary, whose "stole-duty It would be
to attend to general federation matters
and to present them to the club through
the member best fitted to handle them.
This plan for the state work of Ore
gon has already been inaugurated, and
will be put Into effect aa rapidly as the
right women for the committees .can be
secured, '." , ;

Says Iva Q. Wooden:' American men
very generally accord womankind, all
the . virtues of . the ... race. They, say
women are endowed with a keener per
Teptton of right and wrong, a quicker
Intuition f Justice, greater regard for
, truth and call attention to the fact that
tha larger per cent of high school grad
nates year after, year are girls.
Now. these same men are in congress,
tate ieglaletures and. city -jcounclla
where they can endow all degrees of
.executive power -on women, and why
is It that they accord .so much ability
In theor and grant so little exercise
of It In the practical affairs of govern
..' mentt A keener perception of . right
and wrong brought to bear on quea
. tlona of corporate aa against Individual
: Interests would be of great value In

relations with foreign countries. Now,
If our chlvelroua brothers think woman
so capable and worthy, why- do they
refuse her assistance? Where is the

denying any play for ita exercise? Why
not utilise this reserve of moral and ln

An Attractive Way-
To Acquire an Education.
Could whist be called educational?
This was the question asked Dr. Creasy
st the last meeting of the ' Woman's
club. . In replying he aald that be hardly
knew whether the question was aacea
seriously or In a spirit or fun, but tak
inar It. to be the. former, as an educe.
Uonal measure he could not commend It.
. The question waa meant Just as Dr.
Creasy took It. seriously, for the reaaen
that eome of the dub members of the
conservative type had been exercised
over the year book of the California
club of San Francisco, wnicn maintainea
a whist section In Its educational de
partment In the. annual report, Mrs.
E. P. Scbell said:
"A large number of the members ' of
the California club believe, with the
noted Berlin scientist, that the feminine
mind of our century needs more sys
tematic study, and having the authority
of President . Eliot or Harvard, wno
has stated that the study of whist la
the best method by which to promote
cloee observation, accurate recording and
correct Inference, a large class baa de
voted a weekly eesalon to this attractive
means of mental Improvement, with the
result not only of pleasant companion
ship, but that members have also shown
In i eased aillillj in lints of Hub am a.
Without anv disposition to criticise
the women of the California club, and
with apologies to the game. It seems
case of beating bis Satanic majesty
about the bnah to make whist a part
of an educational scheme.
As a social feature there la nothing
In the club Idea to prevent any organi
sation establishing such a section. Some
women abstain from card playing from
principle, many because they consider It
a wast of time, while others have no
opinion on the subject, but do not care
for cards. . All who play; however, do
so wholly for the pleasure and some
times for the pecuniary profit they gain
from it. or at least that Is what has
been thought heretofore. '
The sctlon of the California women
out a a new phase on the subject, and
while it may be the vindication for
Other clubs adopting whist as an edu
cational feature. It would be advisable
for them to consider well where It msy
carry them before they launch out upon
the experiment. - ..
The Woman'a Club 5
Will Diacuaa Equal Suffrage.'
The next . meeting of the Woman's
club promisee to be one of the most en
tertaining and eplrited of the year. An
unusually strong program has been pre
pared. Including a lecture en English lit
erature, by . Professor H.-.H. . Herdman,
and soma fine music, but perhaps what
will call out as large an attendance aa
any other feature will be a debate on
woman suffrage, which will occupy th
half hour Immediately, preceding the
program. . .
At the recent etate convention a res
olution was adopted asking each club to
set aslds a part At least of one meeting
for the discussion of this subject, As
the matter In the state of Oregon has
now become a vital question, and will be
before-, the .voters at the next. Jane
election, it behooves the women of toe
atata. Irrespective of which aide of the
queetlon they take, te Inform themselves
upon the iaaue. and discuss It from every
point of view. Any question that means
such a revolution la the lives and hap-
niness of all the women of the state
ehould have the fullest and freest dis
cussion. With this In view, and that
both aides may be represented ably, and
Intelligently . discussed, Miss Laura
Gregg ' of-Kansas.'-who-lg"hers ah
organiser for the suffrage women of
the etate, will open the discussion with
a five-minute apeecn in ravoy or the
enfranchisement -of women, and Mra
Ralph Wilbur, president of the antl-auf-frags
society of Portland, has been' In
vited to open the argument for the other
iniM livitnaihiii inmm;i
side. Both women are capable, earnest
and able la their cause; both have gives
time and thought to the eubject and no
doubt will deem It a privilege and great
opportunity to place their views before
the women of the club, -r Afterward the
floor will be free to the club members
for general discussion. ; ,

Some Keaaona Why ' . s;
Cluba Don't Federate.' ' ':'--"
prominent New'' Tork club woman
was asked recently whyitwas.Jhat Q
many individual cluba remained outside
the etate federation.'-:. -v-j
"Well." .aha said, "soms of the clubs
are young' and they really haven't made
up their minda what they-want to -do
or what they want to know. Their dues
are very email and their membership ia
the federation are expensive and the
members don't 'feel they can afford it.
Women'a clubs -paas through Just the
same stsges as the college boy does. At
the end of their freshman year of club
life they feel as If they knew a greet
deal ' and at 'the' termination of their
second year they know a great " deal
more. When the Junior year la passed
over their heads they . are , ready to
teach other cluba what to do and at the
end of their senior year they feel that
the world has need of their vaat knowl
edge. . But after the cluba have grsdu
ated, Into the larger life and have come
in contact witn otner ciuos. iney Begin
to know how much there is to know.
So, when the clubs are passing through
this stage of their growth they really
don't know of what immense value the
federation Is to them, but after they
have attained growth and waht to
learn tnatead of ' teaching then they
realise . what the meeting with other
cluba means and what a broadening In
fluence an exchange of Ideas la"
What this New Tork woman says
about the clubs of bar atata la every
word of It applicable to the cluba of
Oregon, and particularly of Portland.
She has lost an essential point, however,
la the benefits of federation, when she
fails to aay what Increased usefulness
na puw-r in, .till y .nui l Tl I i fct iflfw
t"TaTge"emberenlp. . ,
In Portland there is a score of good
clubs at least that have no federation
afflllatlona, losing for themselves and
the state a vaat amount of benefit
Some of them to be) aura are going
through their college experience, but
ethers erq in the poet-graduate course
so far as years are concerned, but still
remain aelf-oentered and self-satlaoed
and willing to atand aside while the pro
cession or progress marches oy. j -

Home Coming Week . : : ;
A New and Happy Thought
Tho "state societies" that , have been
farmed In Oregon. Washington and
other states that are considered new,
have undoubtedly given the suggestion
to the "back east" states to gather to
gether their children j In reunions, and
"home coming" celebrations are now
being arranged In several.
Massachusetts was the first to make
It an accomplished thing and in. "home
coming' week." from Canada to the gulf
and from ocean to ocean came trooping
back to the old Bay State her children.
At the. suggestion of Mies Louise Lee
Hardin, editor of the Business Woman's
Magaslne of Denver, eVentucky la pre
paring to bid its (04.000 sons and daugh
ters welcome to -their old . Kentucky
home. The date has not been arranged,
and nothing el so definitely except that
It Is an aaaured fact and the word has
gone forth for every Kent uck Ian to
prepare for the pilgrimage.
Undoubtedly other states will foMow
this example, and It Is well worth fol
lowing, for It Is a beautiful and patri
otic movement, and one which will par
tlcularly appeal to women In whom, the
home feeling Is always strongest, v -. ,
at - It It . ,
& Harvard Graduate ,
Hita Wide of the Mark, " ' ' t """" '
An anonymous" writer Tn the Harvard
Graduates' Magaslne has a long de
preciation of Mr. Hamilton W. Mable,
under guise of reviewing the Shel
burne Esssya After many aasaults
upon Mr. Mable the writer finally give
him his death trust by declaring that
he Is the Idol' of the women's clubs snd
lives In a perpetual Chautauqua aaluta
This Is almoat as near the truth as
It . would be .to aay. that Mr. Chauncay
M. Depew Is the Idol of Harvard gradu
ates and lives In a perpetual Technology
yell, alnce women'a cluba are no more
related to Chautauqua or to Mr. Mabi
than Harvard Is to Tech or to Tale. -
It is almost as good as the statement
of the. English correspondent who, In
writing .about. American elub women, I
declared that what they were could be
seen la their great organ, the Ladles'
Home Journal. m
The writer of the screed against Mr.
Mabie doee not seem to know that meet
of his eseaya were written for the twe
particular ma ga si nee which have the
least tolerance for women's clubs.
Nevertheless, we can fully appreciate
the compliment intended by tnla anony
mous writer in hie supposedly damning
reference. When he finally gets to tht
eseaya of Mr. Mafcie he solemnly de
clares that a great critic must hav
knowledge, taste end character. We
heartily agree' to these characteristics
among others and- should be glad te eee
them applied in the present case. While
It might aeem unkind to twit upon the
first two characteristics, we cannot re
frain from saying that oontemptnoua
reference to women te atlll as infallible
a teat of character aa it. ever waa.

Apparently the members of the Ty

The school opened, last week with

get them to learn the trade. Employers
aay that the women ahow great deft
