l. "Moral training.' Can the Oregon
club mothers recall any over-abundance
of moral tralntns any cnuaren ever got
.In this state, or any Incidents that
mte-ht lead them to believe that a little

stood thing!
The circular takes up these different
subjects In detail and' makes some very
valuaoie suggestions. , . .....
Mra May L, Sheldon, 49 Korth

chairman of this commutes and would
no. doubt bs glad to send ths circular
to any Oregon club that would consider

"Th enterprising women . of
Coos Bar are to play an active part In
clvlo Improvement. Th A. N. VT, club
of Marsh field and the Beautiful Amer
ica club of North Bend have already
proven their worth, as actlv agents In
th promotion of progress along these
lines. - -. ' ' -
No city can reach th highest state
of beauty and symmetry without the
dellcat and artistic touch of woman's
hand, or ,t least th work being done
tinder her idlrectlon. Then here's to the
ladle wh ere to be of such valuable
aaalstanc In beautifying th city."
And yt this same paper, takes th
syndlcat article written by a certain
Portland minister and presumably ac
cepts pay for It at advertising rates,
(as it has been offered and rejected by
other papers of th state) agatnlt giv
ing these women th privilege f saying
who shall control and keep these streets
fit and decent places for them to walk
pon after they hav spent their money
and energy In cleaning them up. It is
even th same masculln warning;
"Thus far and no farther may you go.
Tou may still act the scullery maids
while w reap th shekels at your ex
pense." To beautify a city, of course.

appeals to the domestic side of her na
ture and that aha looks straight at this
view of It, is to her honor perhaps; but
for the men of th town who accept this
unselfish service, and then say to her,
"you are not fit to be trusted with the
ballot,'' snd insinuate as th reverend
gentleman does : In his advertisement
that to women the ballot means loss of
virtu Is preposterous. Th cloak of
righteousness covers many a thing be
sides a heart pur and undcflled In the
sight of God. Portland -has gotten used
to this, and understands the why and
th whereof it, but it Is rather surpris
ing to find It tolerated In a community
wher its Women do so much, and by
papers that never cease to sing their
prais. .
AGAIN by a majority of votes th
men of Oregon hav consented to
' keen their wives and mothers in
th ranks of th criminal. Insane, Idi
ots and foreign-born Chinese, and the'
woman for two years longer must wait,
to again ask their inalienable . rights
rrom tneir loras ana roasters. two
years la not lone as we' count the
struggle that has been going on for
well-nigh a century.- to emancipate
women, and th advancement can only .
b noted when w compare th women
of-today with th women of a century
ago. w hav been told by the pam
pered women who, through their wealth,
social position or popularity, with a
limited' number of male friends with
money, that honor comes to the Women
who stay at horn who rock th cradle
while men go out to shoot and vote;
but we take notice that, for instance,
a Daughter of th American Revolu
tion must get her honorable member
ship through a male ancestor who
served In the revolutionary army. . Th
daughter of a widow who had served
and cooked for th army aver so faith
fully would never be able to enter this
organisation. But such honors are so
empty and trivial they are but chaff
to thinking Women, and the instance
was only given to Illustrate the dif
ference in honors between th voting
ancestor's memory and the honors per
petuated through the mother. But this
Is not th time to enter into a discus
sion of th suffrage question, nor is It
a time to bring to light many things
that If used before th campaign,
might hav shown th few who worked
against suffrage In a wholly, different
coloring from that In which the com
munity now sees them; but it Is th
ttm to rally to th support of Mrs.
Abigail Scott Duniway, and every
woman with a spark of womanly blood
In her makeup will not deny her the
homage and credit that Is hers. Today,
defeated but not beaten, she rises' ma
jestically from the fray, determined,
courageous and strong In th faith that
era she leaves vacant th place she has
held so long at th very head of the
women of brains of ability in the stat
yes, in th whole northwest her be
loved Oregon, th state the mothers of
these men . who defeated her did so
much for, will redeem itself and cut
loose, from the respectability (?) that
has always delayed the wheels of prog
ress. Mrs. Duniway has mad a brave
fight for women for to years, and th
hearts of the women are sadder for hr.
perhaps,, than for their own defeat
Bh. however, does not share this sor
row, for ah knows that In a stat
wher th people rule half th people
will not long b ei eluded from the
privilege that is theirs.
Already the preliminary steps hava
been taken., toward having new Initia
tive petitions, printed, and as soon as
they ar ready they will be put Into
circulation for two years bene.

MRS JOHN C. WEETEaCth very fr
f lcient general federation secre
tary for Idaho, has th following
to say of th club work of hjer state
"Idaho, th youngest daughter of the
general federation, has so far observed
th traditional proprieties for th child
and remained - inaudlbl. but as Mrs.
Docket. haa commented., w are a vigor
ous Infant, and hav developed so rap
idly, - that having: already put away
childish things w now feel entitled to
a. hearing. , , ..
: "Paradoxical as It may sound, we ar.
in some respects hampered la growth
by th sice of our state. Bom of us
must travel as far to attend th next
convention of the federation as the dis
tance fom New York to Chicago, and on
this account th state is divided Into
three districts for federation purposes,
which districts mast annually, while th
state organisation holds only biennial
conventions.
Sine the last meeting in Boise In
November, 1906, we have secured the
passage of a good child labor law, mod
eled upon that of California, and school
superintendents tell us that it is al
ready bearing fruit In a great decrease
In truancy and a calling in of children
from th beet sugar fields, where they
were already being quit freely em
ployed. At th Boise meeting, also, a
loan scholarship In our state university
was crested, starting with tlOO per year.
This w 'nop soon to Increase, for there
have been opportunities to loan many
times that sum to deserving students.
"The first district federation, at Its
meeting In Blackfoot last fall, adopted
a civil service law which they intend
to present to the coming legislature and
with 'the cooperation of th other dis
tricts they hop to secure its passage.
"Mrs. Dockery of the General Feder
ation Civil Service Reform committee,
haa offered a nrlie for th best essay on
civil service reform, written by an Ida
ho high school student.
"SDlendld Dress .worK Mas . Been : don
by Mrs. Byrd Trego of the state press
committee, and her paper, th Blackfoot
Republican, haa been adopted as the fed
eration organ for the present adminis
tration, rnis is rouna to stmpiuy com
mute work to a great extent and to
sav. much correspondence for th state
officers. Our next biennial meetlnar will
b held at Moscow In October this year."
THE official program for th ninth
biennial convention of the Oen-
