FPbruary ia indeed a 'month that
muMt itlr the blood of every patriotic
citlien, for in this month we observe
the s birthday of the "Father of Our
Country," Washington, the peacemaker
t and it rest heart Lincoln, and for the
past 11 years, the heavenly birthday of
the greatest philanthropist among; the
women of AmericaFrances E. Wfllard,
who , wan called from strife-land to
life-land February 1,7, 11 years ago.
. After the death of this uncrowned
flueen as Rev. Joseph Cook called her)
many plans for a suitable monument to
her memory were discussed, reuniting
In the plan for a living; memorial, as
test in accord with the great purposes
f her own life and heart To this end
the i annual anniversary of her heavenly
birthday. February 17. or a date in the
week following; the 17th, is observed as
a thank offering meeting-, at which an
offering la taken up which swells the

monument is bullded up by the extension

Tear by year the thought of this liv.
Ing monument grows better, known,
more widely reverenced, and bst of all
thla monument not only- towers up in
: C(,untry. but It is growing In goodlv
proportions In many lands. This fund
enables th national officers to aid
needy points all over the nation. Twenty-seven
states were substantially aided

financial aid. The colored work in six
states also received help, besides a -am-M'n
of literature distribution, the force
of which can not he estimated.
It has been said, of Miss Wlllard. as
It has been said of all earths truly
great ones, that her life will be better

100 years from now. This because her

eause here work sprang from active
. principles and living purposes. The
children of coming generations will
hear about the little girl who played and
read, loved and grew strong fn the for
est home, and will listen eagerly to the
story of this girl who longed "to be
somebody and do something.''
Statue at Washington.
In the capital' at Washington In stat
uary hall, each state in the union Is al
lowed to fill two pedestals with the
statues of two citizens who are consid
ered the most Illustrious of their state.
In 1889 Illinois honored itself in de
ciding by unanimous vote of the state
legislature, that the statue of Frances
Wlllard should grace this distinguished
hall: And there she. stands In white
marble of marvelous beauty, speaking to
this and to all future generations of the
life of radiant womanhood pure and
spotless.
The following extract from her not
able "home protection" speech was se
lected by the sculptor and carved on the
base of 'the statue.
"Ah! it Is women who have given the
costliest hostages to fortune. Out of
the battle of life thev have sent their
best beloved with fearful odds against
them, with snares that men have legal
ized! and set for thm on every hand.
Beyond the arms that held ' them so
long their boys have gone forever. Oh!
by the danger they have dared; by the
hours i of patient watching over beds
where helpless children lay; by the in
cense of 10.000 prayers wafted from
their gentle lips to heaven, I charge you
give them the power to protect, along
life's treacherous highway, those whom
they have ao loved."
In the new statehouse of Albany, the
capital city of New York. Miss Wlllard's
native state, you will find her bust In
bas relief on .the decorations of the mar
ble staircase. Her picture Is being
placed .in schools all over the land.
Churches are; placing memorial windows
in their houses of worship. And all this
is well, for no more loyal patriot, or
consecrated Christian, or greater edu
rator has given a purer, stronger life of
devotion for all humanity than has this
promoted leader, philanthropist and re
former. Yet we believe none of the
memorial tributes, whatever may be
their character, is more fitting - or
would be found more closely in line with
the 'great purposes of the rich and
eventful life than this one of perpetual
growth that grows vear by year a most
potent factor in building up a purer,
more Ideal civilization.
The character and brilliant talents as
well a the whole self-sacrific-lntf lift
of this nation's benefactor, is loo well
known to need any word from my ptn
today. Miss Wlllard possessed the
prophetic vision of the seer, and very
often was criticised as being imprac
tical and formulating plans too Utopian
to be carried out. but we have lived to
wee that the very plans so denounced
have been In many, many cases the very
oiks to bring about the quickest and
best results.
Blessings of Ad-rersity.
Indeed she spoke truly when she said:
"What a tame world thia would be If we
had not perpetually the shock of adverse
judgment nnd opinion. Storms root the
oak, fire tempers steel, great epoch
make history, and adversity borne well
makes character." Francis Wlllard's
Utopia of yesterday Is the truth of
progress of today. She was the fore
runner of a mighty electric Intellectual
and moral movement that is reaching
the great mass of thinking men and
women and causing an arrest of thought
that will eventually bring in the time
when the brotherhood of humanity will
will be a reality instead of a theoretic
vision. May God heln u to catch the
vision of Frances Wlllard and make
It the reality of an active intelligent
Christian life. i.
Sweet, minted spirit, dost thou dream,
On the Immortal shore.
That by thy works, bright smiles by
thousands beam.
Where tears rolled before?
Through gliding centuries of calm and
storm.
While nations rise and fall.
America will crown, with flowers, thy
form.
In her Memorial Hall.
It is most fitting that this great
leader should stand side by side as she

Epokane. Wash., Feb. 20. "Sevwal
thousand men and women from various
parts of Pennsylvania will visit Spo
kane and outer parts or the Inland em
pire, as well as Portland and points In
Oregon, next summer on the way to or
returning from the Alaska-Yukon-Pa -
clflc exposition at Heattl.e and there Is
every reason to believe that passenger
traffic from' the middle of May to the
end of October will be the heaviest In
the history of the transcontinental
lines."
Arnold B. Hill of Chicago, general
agent of the Lehigh Valley railroad
company, said this while in conference
with William H. Aeuff, president, and
George B. Dresner, secretary of the
Pennsylvania club of Spokane, in the
tatter's office at the chamber of com
merce, where Mr. Acuff outlined the
preliminary plans for the reception and
entertainment of visiting Pennsylvan-
tans during tne exposition season.
Money la Plentiful.
Mr. Hill Bald that travel from along
the Lehigh valley to the northwest this
season win oe heavier than it has been
at any time before. The people have
pieniy 01 money ana iney are looking
for good investments in dlstrtrta whpn
land values are Increasing rapidly, and
he added, it is likely that !ome from
the crowded cities may decide to remain
to grow up with the country.
"1 am informed by Mr. Dresher." he
added, "that in what Is called the In
land empire, embracing 160.000 square
miles in eastern Washington, northern
Idaho,, western Montana, northeastern
Oregon and southeastern British Co
lumbia, the development of the resource
would support a population or 60,000,000.
while the actual number today is not
more than 700.060. Certainly there Is
plenty of room for more. I am told
also there are more than 4000 former
residents of Pennsylvania in thla dis
trict and that all of them are doing
Well." , f - .; ,
