SHOCKS RECORDED Members of the Woman's Club held the flrHt regular meeting of the sea son at the Club House yesterday. In ihc absence of 'Mrs. KrauBe, presi dent, Mrs. J. B. Hannah, vice presi dent, occupied the chair. Her Intro ductory speech so clearly and forcibly stated the privileges and duties of women today, that the club, voted a request for its publication in the daily papers. Mrs. Hannah's re marks were as follows: If our president were with us, I am ture that she would have an Inspiring passage for us, but In her absence I wili say a few words. Since our meeting last year a won derful gift has been bestowed on club women and women In general. Wfc are changed people. Last year we n.et as earnest women, interested in (ivic r.nd human betterment and de sirous to do what we could Jo accom plish it. This year we come together just as earnest, just as interested, but with a mighty power in our hands, the ballot. We used to urge others to save ba bies, change women's hours of factory work and curtail child labor, but now v.e i tin do these things. If they are pot ccne, no one will be to blame but ourselves. We can no longer lay the blume for unsatisfactory conditions at the doors of men. Then was a timt when the Fed 'eraiior. of Women's Clubs kept en tiriy i ut of politics, and probably there art many who still wish to do :hc, but the great majority wish to turn their laces toward progress, hav ing io desire to worship things as jthey were. This was proved by the election as president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs of Mrs. Thomas O. winter an ardent suffragist, over Miss Bacon of Boston, an anti. The Golden Prairie Biennial at Des Moines, Iowa, marked the turnins point in the history of the Federation of Women's Clubs. The election, of Mrs. Winter virtually pledged the clubs to a program making good citi zenship paramount. Nearly every subject which the women's clubs have ver been inter ested in child welfare, public health, music, playgrounds, libraries and dy pool of politics can be made to yield pearls of great price if our sane, hcme-lovlng women will use the vote in the right way. Men have said that woman's place In In the home, and we women hear tily agree with them, provided it la understood that our home is in the whole world. The woman in comfortable circum stances who says, "I have no timo for politics; I do my full duty when I rear my children to be good citi zens," is mistaken. She may devote her whole life to bringing up her own child to a well fed, well bred exist ence, but as long as other mother's children strain their eyes and bend their little underfed bodies in sweat shops, factories and mills, she is not doing her full duty. She may use the finest and most intelligent care and equipment for bringing her own ba b:e into the world, but as long as other mothers die with their babes from lack of skilled attention and core, she is not doing her full duty. It is not given to every woman to It blessed with babies; but any wom an, married or single, with children or without, who helps to make this world a better place for babies and their mothers, has not lived her life in vain. ''But how can we do this? How can we help?" some one may. ask. One way to do it is to see that our senators and congressmen vote for the Sheppard Towner bill, which pro vides help for every mother and pros pective mother In need of help. We can insist on their voting for the bill now before Congress providing a vast system of education for the whole country. We can demand that Con gress be run on a budget system, that your money and mine may not be wasted but devoted to the carrying put of such beneficial legislation as the blls mentioned. After all, our legislators are but our hired men, whom we pay to serve us. Whether they serve us poorly or well rests with us. We should care in selecting them in the first place, then watch them like a hawk to see that thty vote right when the bills come before them affecting the welfare of tie entire country.
