WHAT WOMEN'S CLUBS OF OREGON HAVE
w,-; ACCOMPLISHED, AND WHAT YET REMAINS
AJ T TUESDAY sfternoon's sessipn
of the Annual convention of the
Oregon - State Federation , Of
i Women' clubs held at La Grande,
the . president,;- Mr. Sarah A.
Evans,, delivered ,-her ' annual addreet,
renewing the work of , the year and
- aurf estinf certain line for the com
ing year. Mrs. Evans said:
The wins of time never seem. - to
move so rapidly, or the yeare appear bo
short ss wiien we miin i p"-
them with presidential addresses. The
. 12 months roll around between the
greetings of old friends, the hand clasp
and the parting are long delayed It Is
m hut unfortunately the hours or
our life are counted by the working day
and whether they go on gladsome wings
or drag their length along, they are
totalled only by the sheaves we have
gleaned whn the sun goes down. And
ao It is with our club year as we coma
In convention, to cast up and compare
our accounts and start anew. Here we
set down on one side of the ledger what
we have done, on the other what we
should have done, and striking a balance
take heart of grace for renewed en-
It is" not the province of the president
to pass upon the first two. The com
mittees and the Individual clubs. In
theif reports, must answer the first, our
conscience will answer the second, and
by taking council together we will de
termine the laat. And I can onlyhope
to assist you in turning, as Mrs. Decker
would say, "right about face." On the
-opening night of the great biennial con
vention at Boston last Jun Professor
Zublin. In his lecture on , "Culture and
Iemocracy," said:
, What Are the Tendencies
"What are some of the indications of
the tendency and connection in human
achievement? I am going to uggest
as illustrations, subjects with which
many people of culture do not much con.
oerh themselves the political move
ment, the labor movement, and the
woman movement today. And Mrs. Denl
son, a past - president of the General
Federation, said in her paper on "Thi
Long Path,' 'You will remember the day
the autocrat Invited the school mistress
to take the long path on Boston Com
mon. The proposal has been a long
time deferred, but when the president
of the United 8tatei. invites the presi
dent of the General Federation to be
present at a conference of governors of
all states an honor that came to our
.distinguished president Mrs. Decker
ws have trodden the long path alone for
the last time.'" ..
And this Is a culmination of the
mnvpmtnt. made " nosslbl"
thrnurh federation. Ours was the only
organfration of women recognized, and
Mrs. Decker was the only woman pres
ent. The strongest club In the l niton
States alone could not have Induced
President Roosevelt to- five It, presi
dent a seat in the conference, but when
a woman stood as the representative of
SOO.OOfl women. It was a power that
could not be ignored. But even num
bers alone would not have counted had
ilt not been for the princlplea back of
them, and which even the government
of the United States was pleased to ac
knowledge. . i.
This was signally displayed when
Miss Boewell was sent to Panama by
the government ; to organise woman-
clubs, so that an interest woulc be
created whlcn wouia Keep me women m
Panama, otherwise the best and most
- skilled workmen would not stay with
out the family tie. This at once gave
the club movement a recognition and re
sponsibility, and If we clubwomen of
Oregon will Just realise that one forty
seventh of that honor and responsibility
belongs to us, and that we muat do our
share with our sister states to uphold
the credit of our organisation we will
have arrived at a very good basis to
work upon.
Our Working Vadium.
"Our working medium is, of course,
our committee, and they should be in
closest touch with the clubs of the
state. The work of every committee
does not appeal to every club, but no
committee can successfully do Us work
without sn interest being shown by the
clubs, even to the extent of declining
o assist. At the suggestion of the na-
tlonal organisation three years ago our
state reorganised its committees to cor
respond with the committees of the
General Federation, adding; some that
local conditions seemed to demand.
Kverr one oif them Is vital to carry on
the work that will make Oregon keep
step with the march of progress.
The work outlined by the national
committees Is just aa much for Oregon
as It Is for Massachusetts, or Maine, or
Texas, and I earnestly recommend that
the chairmen of each of our standing
committees puts herself In touch with
the national chairman, who Is usually
an expert upon the subject, and then
adapt their recommendation to our local
requirement , . , .
Z durational Work.
Club women have an unusual oppor
tunity to do educational work, as,
k...-t. k afrnrta nf the General
Federation, the National Educational
association last year formed a depart
ment of woman's work, with Miss Laura
Gill, one of the foremost educators In
the country, at the head of it For the
benefit of the educational committee I
would suggest that every club take a
Intarail In th SOhOOlS Of ItB tOWTl,
and, at least once a year. send, to the
educational committee a report of the
condition of the schools, what ther are
doing in the way of advanced methods,
and what they should be doing. This
would give the committee an Intelligent
basis upon which to work. The educa
tion of our children is common ground
Upon which all ctuD women can wur.
State XJbrary Work.
Our library work la - another place
where we can ai) work in unison. .With
our excellent state library commission
there seems little active work for this
committee to do. ana l wouia recoin
m.n tht this committee be combined
with the committee on literature, whose
duty It would be to assist ciuds in oui
lining study courses, compiling blbllo
graphs, ana service or inai nature.
A suggestion was recently made I
the club women of Oregon collect
nuhltah the noems of Bam Slmcson
Tiearttlv indorse the suggestion and
recommend that a special committee be
appointed for the purpose or consulting
. with the relatives of Mr. Simpson, with
hl In view, and that the committees be
given power to act. with the consent of
tne toara.
Progress In Civics.
A rain we -meet on common ground
with our committee on civics, for who
does not love the City Beautiful, or
who does not wish to assist in the erad
ication of disease, through a campaign
of education? I would therefore sug
gest that every club procure literature
on the subject or social hygiene ana
tuberculosis, and arter studying it your
selves distribute it for the enlighten
ment of other At the last biennial
a health section of the civic committee
was created, which will furnish you all
the literature on these subjects you may
aesire.
Zstnd-Marks Committee.
: You may think the land-marks com
mittee has no mission.' In his address
or welcome at Boston the governor or
Massachusetts enumerated the many
things hla ancient commonwealth was
proud of their subway, their subma
rine tunnel, their artificial lake and
other .tremendous engineering- feat and
in conclusion said: "We are prouder
yei mat ail those great pudiic- worm
were accomplished without one single
mnt or grait, ana tor minions tess ma:
the estimated cost." Later, aa I walk e
around the old granary burying ground,
right in the heart of the city, and could
see from the - sidewalk the monuments
of James Otis, Samuel Adams, Paul
Revere and many signers of the Declar
ation or independence, tne tnougnt
stirred within me. "Can the perpetual
and aver present memory of those who
lived before the word araft bad been
festered into our language,- and who has
been willing to pledge to each other
their lives, their fortunes and their sa
cred honor, for the love of country,
have any restraining power over the
f reed and corruption of the present day?
s there any connection between this
environment and the greatest thing
Governor Guild was proud of? And
without much circumlocution of reason,
ing I concluded there waa, I therefore
believe it a duty to preserve our Oregon
land-mark that future generations may
read the lessons of hardv endurance left
us by the pathfinders -of the nation.
Bureau of Information.
Reciprocity is "but another word for
federation; it is the mutual exchange
-the glvlnar and tailing and to broad
en its scope, at our last meeting we
exchanged the word reciprocity for bu
reau or information. It cannot, how
ever, . fulfill thla mission without the
most nearty cooperation or tne ciuds
from the very nature of it. It must
have your year books, it must have
every .one of those excellent papers you
ant so much time on; tne most in
maid of the other, both in state and na
tion. This is an age of advertising,
and dignified exploitation is much, to
oe aesirea. l ao not rerer to -personal
glorification- or the character of news
caper notoriety that has made' women
and their cluba suffer throughout the
land, but to the kind that educates the
public and draws their eyes from the
absurd caricature to the real club wo
men, for Professor vublln has truthfully
said. "There are wide-awake students
of economic and political literature who
are aware of the political movement and
the labor movement but who do not
know that there Is a woman's mor
I would urge uoon every one at you
to secure some space regularly trr your
home paper for a club department, and
have It edited bv a club woman. Do
not confine yourself to local new, but
cull-'out from many papers and mm-
s bits of general Information. The

you greatly in tnls. This matter will
be bound to find lodgment where wo-

cholarsklp Xtoan mad.
Our Scholarship Loan Fund commit
tee will give you sucn an illuminating
rcoort that there would be little for me
to say, except that its magnificent work
has surpassed my most sanguine ex
pectations. Since we established it as
our united " federation work, several
nearby states have taken ltUp and
have adopted various ways or raising
the fund. Last month an adjoining
state voted to follow our example, and
to raise the fund by asking a voluntary
contribution of at least 25 cents from
each member of the federation. An
other state solicits funds from people
of means, and so each state has Its own
method. It seems to me that either of
the above mentioned ways defeats to a
great extent one of the prime ODjects

. Pars 7ood Jaws.
When a certain city council recently,
after making extravagant apnroprla-.
tions for city improvements, refused to
appropriate money for a much needed
laboratory and chemist to examine the
poisonous foods that were on the mar
ket in great quantities, some one asked,
"What difference It made whether we
had handsome parka and good pave
ments if we were al) dead."
While this was rather a startling
wav to put the matter, we all know
that after everything Is said and done
our greatest ssset la good health; and
as the body Is sustained by food the
kind of food we take into it is of par
amount Importance. Oregon needa' an
awakening, and unless the homekeepers
take some of our conditions in hand it
will be an awakening that will bring
sorrow and lamentation into: the homes
of many. I refer to our dairy condt
tions.
rxoblems of Forestry.
On the subject of forestry' the club
women have shown themaelvea alert
and intelligent. In this branch of our
work the government , again recognised
the efficiency of their work by putting
at their service Its best lecturer, Enos
Mill It will be gratifying to those
who heard Mr. Mills at Salem laat
year to know he has been promised to
Oregon again this winter. His services
are given free of cost to the clubs, and
applications for his services by clubs
that are Interested in February, can be
made to the chairman of the forestry
committee. 1 -
irrigation Uti Topic.
With the subject of February goes Ir
rigation. It is a subject of national
importance, but why, you ask, should
it come into club work? Our committee
would answer, for the life and beauty
and joy it brings into the homes of the
women of the desert places, and we can
not turn a deaf ear to any call that will
lighten the burden of the mothers of
men.
legislative Accomplishments.
From one standpoint our legislative
work is the most Important branch of
our federation. It is the committee that
brings us into the limelight of public
criticism. The utmost care should
therefore be exercised to make our
work discreet, wise and womanly. Be
It said to the honor of those who have
upheld the dignity of our organisation
at the legislature for the past 10 years
no shadow of reproach has ever fallen
upon us, and as It has been safeguard
ed In the paat so must It be in all the
years to come. I would caution the con
vention against forcing upon the legis
lative committee nastily considered
measures, or burdening it with the
work of other organisations.' I wss
recently amazed to hear another ortran
izatlon appropriate to its credit a meas
ure that our - legislative committee
stayed a whole month at Salem at its
own expense to farther and eventually
uui wirouan.
Let us give to every good work our
sympathetic support, but do not let us
prostrate our own finances or energies
to tne sacrifice of our own organisa
tion. This was one of the strong points in
Mr Decker's administration she kept
her eye steadily fixed on the legitt-
iii am unea or ciud worn. That tht
was necessary Is evidenced from the
fact that during the past two years
over 4,000 applications were made to
tne uenerai f ederation ror Indorsement,
and included everything from an amend
ment to the .constitution of the United
States to a beauty soap for the com-
picuon. in proportion our state Feder
ation is solicited for indorsement or
cooperation. Certain societies send reg
ularly for our year book and Immedi
ately make an appeal for financial or
other assistance. Most of them are
worthy objects, and' most of them have
wealthy patronesses, and hv depleting
our treasury to assist other organiza
tions, we are not in a position to carry
forward? our own work successfully, I
am aware that many will not agree with
me on this point, for It Is so common
to-, hear the kind hearted woman say,
'Let ug help any good object." I can
only reply, "If you were building a
house and were having a hard time
getting enough money, would you give
part of it to your neighbor that he
might have his first V Just spply the
same business principles to your club
work that you do to your private af
fairs, and you and your neighbor will
both be better off.
Civil Service Reform.
Civil service reform sounds so
ominously 'political that most of us shy
off from it lest we become contami
nated. Let us call it good citizenship,
and see how differently we look at it
It means, simply, putting all public
service into the merit system, and train
ing children to look UDon nubile servlc
as an honorable occupation, rather than
an' opportunity to graft or as a plum
for political distribution. I am author
ised by the board to nlace In the hnd
of our committee 16, to be offered as
a prize for the best high school essay
on "Good Cltlsenshlo." This u Anno
hoping it will induce some of the clubs
to ao something locally. .
Chautauqua Work.
Our Chautauuua work is a 1ov and
a pleasure, and one of our most efficient
sources ror tne promulgation - of club
work - and I strongly recommend its
continuance.

Individual Clubs.
To the individual clubs of the state, I
wish to extend -my sincere thanks for
your support and warm-hearted fealty,

are doming to pass, just as surety are
they to be brought about by the club

lines with not a paid officer to wie d
