of tha women f Oregon, are happy to
mbrac thla opportunity, aetforded to
ua through vour lnltlatlva pelitiona, to
lay before you a few of our many rea

to extend' to ua. at tha, corning June
election, your courteoua Invitation to

tthe elective franchla, aa were tue gal
lant men of Wyoming, Colorado. Idaho
and Utah, who beatowed full righto of
cltlsenahip, almost witnout solicitation,
upon every law-abiding woman within
tneir Dorara. .
Thla movement, which began In Ore
gon in 1171, grew ao rapidly, under, the
- guldunc of pioneer men and women and
publlo-splrlted law-make, that the leg

of 1871 a married woman's aole trader

. the county court. Stimulated by this
email beginning, the growth of public
sentiment In favor or equal property
rights for women has placed Oregon
women far In advance, aa eeir-earning
property-holdurs. of women of any other
state In the Union, except the four
I ttee wherein they already vote.
"T- But, although we are laxptyera, we
r - are not yet full-fledged votera. Thla
handicap brings the wage earnings or
women into ruinoua competition wun
wage-earning votera, and Is a disability
from wh,lch, we believe you will be glad
to relieve ua by your votes next June,
In the Interest of both halves of tha
people. -
Thla movement grew from tha email
beginning In 172, above noted, until the
year llg, when your renresentatlvee
aiibmltted for us, by legislative enact
ment, a constitutional amendment at
the atata election of that year, which
brought ua 11,223 votea.. Our propoaed
amendment was again submitted to a
vote of one half of the people In the
rear 1S00. and the. "yes- vote naa or
hat time grown to 26,188. The amend
ment waa again submitted (alwaya by
men) In 108. and the yea" vote roae
to xa,uz.
For rauaea that are wholly eliminated
from the preaent campaign (and wa
hope from all future atate campalgna
for equal rights, and. therefore, need
not be explained in this letter) the "no"
vote of 1008 was for the first time pro
portionately increased, but the readi
ness with which men have responded
with their signatures to the larire Initia
tive petitions, through which you have
reopened our case, is an assurance to
ua of your success In our behalf at
the June election of 190S, for which we
are patriotically expectant and pro
foundly grateful In advance.
If - any of you ear you are weary of
this agitation, we answer In all serious
ness, so are we. So weary are we that
we believe you will. In mercy, not com-
pel us to repeat this struggle In the
year 1910. as we surely must If you
fall us thla time.

BUTTER FOR EUROPE.
They Call It Butter but It Helps Our

Through the invention by an Austrian
of a new process for making artificial
butter from cottonseed oil, which will
meet the Jewish and Mohammedan re
quirements for a aubstltute for butter
which contains no hog fat. the Ameri
can consul-general at Vienna thinks
that a bla field for cottonseed Oil pro
duced here haa been opened. It is ex
pected that several thousand carloads
of cottonseed oil will be used for this
purpose annually.
In the meantime the government
bureau of manufactures has discovered
that the oleomargarine trust of northern
Europe Is now located In Rotterdam.
Dutch capitalists having bought up the
smaller oleo planta of Holland. Belgium
and Germany. Borne of the planta pur
chased havo been cloaed down and dis
mantled to lower the cost of manufac
turing, and Europeans who can't afford
butter at the preaent high prices are
looking to Kotteraara ror aometning to
put on their bread.
The butterlne makers have been work
lnr their factories overtime lately and
ar rushing orders to this country for
cottonseed oil of tha beat quality.

In March to tiresent th nicture of Mr.
Davis to the achools, and on thp cen
tennial or ni Dirtn we win nave anoth

dren will olav a conspicuous part. We
find this the most effectual way of in-
power In the community or keep It
weighted to the ground. Every gen
eral club of over 25 members should be
a department club, for more than that
number can seldom agree upon a Una
of work that will ba . acceptable to all,
wnue a aepanment or .special work
may have a membership unlimited and
tne memnera aaa interest to tne work,
for only those who enjoy that particu

Again a large department club is much teregting the children In the study of
,uuiiiom luciaiui,, oven uouri uio..,
that of offering prlxea for essays and
more to be desired in a community than
many small ones for there la always
oower In united strength and In num
bers, but. on the other hand, there la
alwaya danger that tha departmenta
may sap the strength or undermine tha
useiuiness or tne ciud. Ana ner is
where the matter of department eth
ica should assert Itself and prevent any
aucn misrortune.
Th department of a club should
never forget that It la simply a de
. pendent part of tha body, aa the hand
la of the arm. It should receive Ita
-. .Inspiration from the club and in every
v particular do amenaoie to tne ciuo, to
its constitution ami to ita rules, its

N VIEW of th fact that Mlsa Clark
will give a aeries of lectures for
women at tha coming Chautauqua,

southern paper, will b of special fa-terest:

Now If women did that, I ehould ay
that there was a little group of nigger
hiding around in the woodDlle.
But the real thing that we noticed
wnue anting over in our corner Is that
tne soiia ten- ao not seem to have
any special interest in the real welfare
of all of Portland. Somehow the fact
doe not seem to have penetrated their
intellect that all these bad thing that
ar being don to Portland that op-
w iijw wivuiuio ut a. iew iran

of tha eolld ten. If the Bull Run water
supply la .affected, don't you auppose
that It la possible that aom or the
ona ten may go tnirsty, or their lawns
or bathtuba suffer? If a packing plant
be given th tight to locate within the
city limits. . tne stencn may reach tha
nostrils of the "solid ten. We can
not understand tha attltuAa n lw.a
city fathers. They should ba called
city step-ratners, aa tneir attltud to
ward their Portland children is cer
tainly anything but fatherly. .
We noticed an lterri in a. narwtr tha
other i day which aald that tha Iowa
board of control had hired a physician
to leotur on tuberculosis in all narta of
th atata. and to organise anti-tube rcu
losla societies In th different commu

Just think, of It, ye Oregonlana! A
state is using state money ror such pur-
