THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 3. 1803. WOMEN'S CLUBS AND. WORK xSorne Men's Opinions . About Women's ' Clubs. . Excepting the United States Congress, I know of no body of men or women representing so .much of Intellect and newt, ao much of culture and mnuenoe, - and ao many of the highest hopes and noblest possibilities of the American people as the General . Federation .of Women's clubs. - "'"The Industrial revolution which trans ferred many activities from the home , to the factory has created new social conditions and new problems or adjust' -ment It Is fitting that women who hare now been freed from the burden laid on them by the age of homespun . ahould devote aome of the new leisure thus bestowed to the solution of the new problems thus created. ' cjtlooks as- if --women's clubs might take a leading"" TaTt 1n the-reat-work . of industrial improvement and in estab lishing right relations between em ployers -and employes. As wives they - sympathise with, the perplexities of the former, and aa women they sympathise with the hardships of tha latter. With a hand upon each they, may do' much to reconcile both. . JOSIAHi STRONG. President of American Institute of So cial Service. ., . My hlet,pblnt of contact with women's clubs has been in the-cauaa of pure food. In thla matter I found them the most efficient organisations now ex isting. They ar enthusiastic hard working, persistent and effective; I " fully believe that whenever -the women of this country, as, for Instance, through the Federation of Women's clubs of America, shall demand legislation regu. latins: Interstate trafflo In adulterated fooa afflr-ailliaa, that Isglslatlna. will be forthcoming. When the . women s clubs are fully aroused In this, matter. it will not be possible any longer for .organised selfishness to block the wheels of legislation for the purpose of securlns- an additional profit in trade. "The Federation-of -Women's r olubs Of America ia in favor of pure food legis lation because It means honesty, free--dom f ron danger to- the-family, aecurlty for the proper spending of the money for household needs and a general lm- tH" wHid" It M.

I appreciate so deeply tha effective .work that the clubs have dona through out the country in arousing an Interest on the subject of child labor that I am glad of an opportunity to express frlm appreciation. No better illustration of . the fine educational work and high moral purpose of the women's, clubs, aa . represented In tha General Federation, '""can be found than in their' persistent ' and discriminating atudy of the prob lem of child labor in the United States. .1 have found in all the states where the clubs are active and federated that --the ground ia prepared for progressive . legislation on thla subject. This is a great work for the' American home, and "7 the arousing Of tile intelligent-Interest of thousands of women, who otherwise would not know of the great evils of child labor-ls-'a worthy-contribution to 1 American civilisation. , SAMUEL. MoCUNB LINDSAT. Secretary National ChUd Labor .Committee. ' Tha women'a . clubs : throughout tha - country have taken an active part, dur ing the last three years, in the child labor movement. Tha General Federa tion, of Women'a cluba, at Ita biennial convention, held at St. Louis, Missouri, last May, for tha information of its constituent members;- adopted xesolu - tlons In favor of a definite national pro gram throughoutthe United - Statea. These resolutions represent, so far as we are aware, the only. attempt to state a definite national program of child labor legislation based upon a study of ' all legislation and efforts to secure its enforcement up to the present time. HOMER FOLKS. . ' ..' - v v Your Little Boy And My Little Boy. ' " ' " Do you remember that day when they - marched aturdlly off to the '"big school." J i how .you andJJllpped around the other aide of the block and watched until the ..' great door closed on themt- Then we went home and put the houae in order ard aet their playthings In rowa againat - the wall. . They were not babies any more: they war bat boys. . We watched their aspirations rise from driver of sprinkling cart to the motorman on the streetcars, anil tthrn thnlr problems were very hard we used to sit up night to study long-forgotten theories to help them in their work next day. We aald: "We will keep them hdnest and pure, and the world will be better for their having lived In It." . One day they met a boy who had found a package of cigarette papers. He put aome dried clover blossoms In one and rolled It up and lighted It and each took, a puff. It waa great fun. It waa ao like being men. We were onty women, so they did not tell us.

The next time they put In aome tobacco Just a little, and It did not make thra sick. - Soon the cigarettes were all to bacco. One night our boys went to bed with a nervous twitching of the muscles and aa we bent over them we knew! The hollow circles under the big blue eyes, the . unnatural pallor .of the face, lips drawn and bloodless, their Inner edges burnsd end , cracked, all mutely telling the tale. Well, we knew It had to be stopped- stopped until they had attained their growth, -and wo wondered that it could hurt a little boy ao much and not hurt a man at all. We thought of the men these boys looked up to the leaders of their little world. We thought faater that night than ever before, and we knew It was men these boys respected and emulated,' but what waa womant She-didn't knowr Th law of tha- land aald so, and that ought to know; ; .2" We "had Uways""believed-thar-wom an's duty lay within her .home, and that her children , would be Just as ah trained them.- Now we learned that wl didn't count. , A boy .had come to our door that morning, a weak lad stunted In stature and the yellow ataln betweea his fingers. The word of a medical man rang in our ears: "The habitual - cigarette smoker usually ."drops out of school; weak heart; weak lungs, weak Intellect." Our eyes were opened and . we aald we want bur life and our word to mean as much aa a man's, and we knew, tbaf the battle of life lay before us and we had to fight,- for it was your little boy and my litUa boy. - .

And .-these banka are solvent, sound and substan tial, and make money. Statistics, more over, show that no bank directed by a woman In Iowa ever closed its doors through failure. ' - But thla la not all. ' No woman official of any bank anywhere in the country haa ever betrayed her truat -to the ex tent of a single penny. -. It baa frequently been remarked that, even though evidence may seem againat It, the woman, after all. la more honest In trivial thlnga than the average man. Perhapa tha other extreme likewiae proves true; perhapa ahe la honeater In the big things and the important .things than the average man. It Is certain that she is more consci entious and that ahe haa -a higher Ideal of honor and commercial integrity.

About a .week after leaving Cap Town it broke " ' ; 1 J ' a means' of - getting 'thlnga. I would not try to answer this question of what a club gets. It would take too long. It geta too much. It gets all it can carry, all It can abaorb. . If it ia a. very little sponge, with all Ita pores ' open wide to receive, having given wholly of Itself to the federation, it can go home wltu enough to keep everything ' that ap proaches It ' full , of inspiration. Join tha federation, and find out for yourself what you can get out of It, and do not forget that -much, dependa upon - your own capacity for receiving. - ."Ask rather, What does a club lose by federating? ' Well, flret. your dues. They are gone sure. Whether it is loss or not . la for you - to- consider. Tour club also loses a self-sufficient-feeling- which keeps you when you have It from growing. ' . "On the other hand; what doea a club lose by not federating? Tou lose a width of view a broad apirlt, an Inter eat In your state. Don't you know, how your - heart jump when you are In foreign , land and run across tha St and Stripes flying In-an . alien air? It is the symbol of your whole great coun try,, not Just your little town. .-. . ."So pride In your state work, your own interest in it. Is lost If you . have no part In it Be a member of ita body and thus become a help and a support, to the larger work, as well as the small er. It la a great thing to be blg in every senae." -.
