been a burning; question for eev
eral tnonths, and when any club
woman haa been asked If she
waa going- the Invariable answer would
be. "I can't tell till I know what the

a great aatlafactlon to know that thla
haa at length been determined and the
"official route" aeleoted. The follow

"You are doubtless acquainted with
many of the Chicago delegates, and as

tate the Oregon women remaining in
Chicago two days, but this they could
well afford to do on account of the
difference in the price of a regular and

From Harper's Weekly.
"HAT masculine antl-suff raglst of
I Massachusetts who grumbled.
"When a man comes ho.ne tired at
night, he does not want to kiss an over
seer of the poor or a member of the
school board,' will soon have to move
to another planet. That Is, if he aspires
to be really happy. " For the solemn fact
is that the suffragists are appropriating
so much of this earth, politically speak
ing, mat, line Ajexanaer or old, tuey win
shortly have to lament because there are
no more worlds to conquer.
This amazing fact is to be demon
strated wltn mathematical precision at
an international oDject-iesson in wom
an's suffrage scheduled for June 15 at
Amsterdam, Holland. This Is the seven
days' meeting of the International Wom
an's Suffrage alliance, under its Ameri
can president Airs. Carrie Chapman Catt
of New York. Fair representatives from
22 countries think of it! will come to
compare notes, and 12 of them think
again! will proudly report that they
possess full suffrage every suffrage
except parliamentary or municipal suf
frage. The aspiring others will either
boast of minor scraps of the ballot or
a fine fight for It which means that
suddenly and spectacularly, the once de
spised subject of feminine enfranchise
ment is being discussed In absolutely
every civilised region of the globe. And
yet the ODdurate ahtl-suffrsglst persists
that woman's suffrage isn't gaining
ground!

The conclusion, of the address of Mrs.
A. B. Manley, a portion of which ap
peared in this department laat Sunday,
follows:
"Of the 2,000,000 children between
the ages, of 10 and 13 who earn their
livelihood and the 14.000,000 who at
tend our public schools, who knows the
hundreds that faithfully learn their
simple lessons with their little bodies
inadequately nourished and who, when
their lessons are over, wend their way
to homes where fathers are drenched
in aetauchrnd
steeped in nameless shame? Here lies
the mighty and unparalleled opportunity
of th clubwoman. Let her delve as
she will Into complex theories of eco
nomics and civics, and sociology, but
let her also practice those theories with
some boy or girl who, for want of some
one like her, has already learned the
nrst lesson of crime. Let her drink to
her heart's content from the fountain
of philosophy, of literature and of po
etry; let her quaff as she will from the
noetic waters of Shakesoeare. Tennv -
son, Browning, Whitman or Ibsen, but
let her also give of that Doetry and
beauty to some young heart which for
mere want of It has become tainted
wltn the stain of vice. Let our club
Women do as the clubwomen of IndiHir
apolis have done enlist herself In the
service of the state; let her enroll her
self as a probation officer, and by win
ning the confidence of some little child
becoming for that child the ideal and
pattern by which It may be lifted from
the mire of Incipient criminality . to
the highway of a healthful, regenerated
inc. mat is tne glowing opportunity
which the juvenile court offers the
clubwoman In her relation to the child
problem. It Is neither difficult nor un
inviting, but rather easy and fascinau
ing, for it only calls into action those
fundamental Instincts with which a
Denencent rroviaence bas - endowed
every " womanly woman. - By-accepting
mis opportunity ane may renaer a price
less service to herself, her- club, her
state and society at large.", '
Miss K. Mcllvane says: - '
"But we must remember that If we
are to meet with any measure of suo
cesa that it la for us never to tire.
never to arrow cold, to be patient, sym
pathetic, tender; to look for the budding
flower and the opening heart; to hope

is our Ideal and our duty." '
