Women'
s Glubs aiid Their Work
. Edited by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans '
ffl'
R. FOLTZ. an office holder In the
United States treasury depart
ment at Washington, baa recent
ly written a most Interesting
book entitled "The Federal Civil
Service a Career." In the
chapter on women in government
service he has some very interesting
things to say, from which both men and
women can draw theft own conclusions.
He aays: "Tne history of the executive
service shows that women have held po
sitions under the government for many
years, but It is only in comparatively
recent years that their numUrs have
been ofany consequence. Not until the
establishment of the civil service sys
tem were women appointed in any con
siderable numbers. Inasmuch as the na
ture of conditions prior to mat. wm nm
favorable to their recognition as pub
lic servants, the positions going to men
as party spoil. No doubt they would
have gone to women in the same meas
ure had women enjoyed the elective
franchise and played a part in the coun
try's political history.
"Women were not slow to take ad
vantage Of the opportunities created by
the promulgation of the civil service law
In 183, and their endeavors to secure
federal places have Increased rather
than diminished since that time. In
like men, their efforts are confined al
most wholly to securing appointment
through competitive examination. Inas
much as political appointments are still
closed to them. Women make
a considerably better showing In exami
nations. ,.
Taking the stenographer-typewriter
examination as an index, an examina
tion ' that Is conceded to be the most
difficult clerical examination offered
by the civil service commission, recent
statistfcs show that of the women tak
ing the examination BO per cent passed,
while but 47 per cent of men were so
fortunate. In the examination for de
partmental clerk, 14 per cent of women
naiutmi a.nt but EO rer cent of the men.
These figures are more eloquent than
najres of words In commendation of
sntniin a mental Mumment xor mo ex
amination room- Women are
much harder working than men, due to
tho fact hat they stand In greater fear
of losing their positions, realising that
the handicap of sex militates against
them. A woman will work ta the utter-
' most limit of endurance If she thinks
her position depends upon It, whereas, a
man is Inclined to take his time and act
somewhat Independently.
".As to the quality of work performed
by women office holders there Is no
doubt that It Is In every way on a par
with that performed by men, in many
Instances superior. Administrative heads
. have only words of praise for their
women assistants, words that are sln-
: cere and based on efficiency.
"While It is true that women mem
hers of an office staff will often engage
In small talk during official hours it is
,-i seldom they designedly evade their du
ties or neglect their work as is some
times the case with men. It
" is a -rare thing, something almost un-
posilion for mercenary ends. The ac
cusation of a woman for malfeasance in
office is next to unknown, only a few
instances In the entire history of the
American government being on rec
ord." Mr, Folta concludes his chapter with
some excellent observations and facts
regarding the social status of office
holding women and the wives of office
holding,- men, which might all be
summed up in the one sentence: "Her
prestige Is measured by the size of her
.: salary."
The entire book Is well worth the time
, ct any woman to read.

THE! art department has -closed Its
second year. It has1 reason to be
congratulated In. having Mrs.
Welster for chairman. The. scope of
the work has constantly improved and
enlarged and Mrs. Welster. has more
splendid plans for the next year,
The last meelng for this year was a
stereoptlcan lecture on M. Angelo, given
in the- nubile library. There was a
lrir utandance and the interest
Intense, The first thing on the program
waa to detach the mind of the audi
ence from present Interests, rose car
nivals and elections, new hats, etc.,
and push them all back to tne closing
years of the fifteenth century. Before
America was discovered, to the time
when Savonarola was at the height of
his power, and Leonarao was painting
his last supper. With delight we all
wandered around beautiful Florence
looking upon the architectural beauties
that had greeted the eyes of M. Angelo
In his Doynooa. roexi mere appearea un
the screen a group of portraits, M.
Angelo and those who most influenced
him. Vittorla Colonna's was a beauti
ful picture, and Mrs. Welster seemed
to think the audience should clap at
the sight of the woman whose friend
ship for M". Angelo was so full of pathos
and sentiment. "There is nothing quite
like it in all the history of friendships, "
she said. M. Angelo was the heir of
everybody and the pupil or noDoay. Tne
last of his race, the most lonely figure
In the -whole history of the Renaissance,
Of which he was the logical culmination.
, One masterpiece after another followed
'.' on the screen, while Mrs. Welster ex
: fdained why M. Angelo preferred the
nude figure. ,
Then came the tragedy of the tomb
with the Moses, followed by the paintings
In the Slstine chapel. It was unfolded
to the audience why the world could no
more employ M. Angelo than they could
understand him. The Christian w.orld
clemanaea mat ne paini buijj-;i. wmcn
ohould Incarnate the fear of the humble
..-nd - th- elf -sacrifice of the patient.
when humility and patience were un
known to M. Angelo or any other great
- man. But his figures could and did
xpress. manliness, robustness, effec
tiveness, the fulfillment of our dream
of a great soul Inhabiting a beautiful
body. He creates the type of man best
fitted to subdue an.l control the earth,
. and who knows what rnor?? 'Mrs. Wels
ter seamed to think the tonic effect of
. M. . Angelo's creations on those who
admire slmperinir prettiness should be
healthful and curative.
There was a unanimous feeling among
,-. all. present thrt this closing lecture of
-. the series wn.- the very best of the en
tire Renaissance.

TF ANYBODY could Imagine a more
I absurd, egotistical. asinine and
, wholly ridiculous performance than
"Husband Show,"'1t has not been dis
covered, and if anything could make it
. worse than lthe "thing itself is. it should
be to give it for the purpose of "hitting
back at the suffragettes." But such
was fh,e performance of " a bevy of
prominent Spokane young married men"
.. and reported by them, with great eclat
to the Associated Press. It was farther
reported that: "Each had been instruct
ed to bring her husband to the exhibit
after first taking the precaution to see
that the male member of the. familv was
so attired as to make the best appear
ance. The men were put through stunts
, to test their proficiency in the perform
ance .of domestic duties, and the prizes
- were awarded In each test." Modesty
perhaps, restrained these woman from
giving to the public the nature of the
domestic stunts these effeminate hus-
: bunds were made to perform, and it
was certainly unnecessary to label this
performance the product of anti-suffragettes,
for it Is they Only who de
sire to duii men down to the small
level of tbelr own frivolity, rather than
raising themselves to the dignity and
. nniaJity. of their husband: and right

by such a performance as this! Like
the croaking of the raven we "can hear
the -Terrain l "Votes for women! votes
for women!" and: in imagination see
earnest, noble women go into the very
Jaws of death for the principles they
advocate. Imagine Lucy Stone, Lucretla
Mott. Elisabeth Cady Stanton or Abi
gail Scott Dunlway engaged in such a
performance as a "Husband Show."
These are the women that have advo
cated the prlclples of equality, whose
lives have meant something to the
world, who: would not break down so
ciety, but would construct It upon lib
erty, righteousness and truth: who
would (tive the wage-earning woman an
equal right to earn her dally bread,
who believed in the economic Independ
ence of woman, and found that - Inde
pendence In raising honorable men and
women, who were a credit to their
motherhood. Equality Is all the suffra
gettes have ever asked. These Spokane
women who can make their husbands
Into such guys, makes one fear the pen
dulum is swintrinc back. A thousand
years or so ago matriarchy ruieti. tne

then society bexan to settle to a more

It In society, education, religion and
all save polities. But hare comes wom

justers of social conditions, and give
the pendulum a tremendous Jolt back
toward matriarchy, by dressing up their
husbands, taking them out and making
them do prixe winning stunts, and do

T NOW appears that the plan of hav
ing Oregon's federation of women's
clubs thoroughly organized, to take
charge of the social part of this state's
interests at the Seattle ralr, will have
to be abandoned through the belligerent
attitude of the commission toward the
federation. Some of the women who
were not club members started the dis
sension, then politics crept in and the
old exposition frequenters who were left
out of the selection of representatives
had their say. It is to be regretted, too,
for the plan as first proposed would
have advanced the interests of the state
as each section of the state in turn
would have been the host to entertain
visitors. McMlnnvIUe Telephone-Register.

C. F. Bwigert most truthfully said In a
recent letter regarding the, trouble at
Seattle, "they keep their eye on the
fly on the barn door Instead of on the
barn door itself.". They are the de
luded few that try to climb by pulling
otners nown and usually get such a
bump they don't know what struck them.

RS. Ellxabeth Smith Miller of
Geneva, N. Y.. has Just pre
. sehted a beautiful portrait of Dr.
Elizabeth Blackwell to tho Elisabeth
Blackwell house. This Is the dormitory
for girls at William Smith collMre. th
new college for girls affiliated with
Hobart college, where Elizabeth Black
well, the first , regularly graduated
woman physician, took her medical
diploma 60 years ago. At the unveiling
of the portrait last week, 'addresses
were made by President Stewardson of
Hobart Miss Ann5T1txhugh Miller and
Miss Alice Stone Blackwell. There were
songs by the college girls, and the
parlors, or the Elizabeth Blackwell
house Were tastefully decorated with
flowers. The tribute was a delightful
example of poetic Justice, for Geneva
society ostracized the young; woman
doctor when she came there to study,
more than half a century back. The
college, however, admitted her when
more than a dozen other medical schools
had refused her, and both students aad
faculty treated her with a kindness for
which she has , alwavs been grateful.
Dr. Blackwell Is still living In Hastings
England, at the age of 88. There are
now more than 7000. women practicing
in the United States.
