what Ia ,h. Matter.

We wonder what has become of the
w. e. Il. u, of Lebanon? If half oI
what we hear on the streets, Is true,
there IN certainly great need for earne |
work. The White Cross department
OF this heroIc and gallant band, COM
mends itself to the honorable consider
alton OF NIL who love and honor woman
hood, especially To all who would MAIN
tain purity of life and are opposed 10
Impurlty and lewdness.
The following was sent to us FOR pull
lleatlon, which we iusert with pleasure.
It was adopted by the state meeting In
Eugene City last week.

We your committee on Plan of Work
submit the following:
1. That In accordance with the plan
of organization of our National Union,
we continue to urge the organization of
Unions by districts and counties.
2. AS our Evnngelistle Department
Is the corner stone Of w. &. 4. work,
binding and holding the whole togeth-
er, we especially urge our Unions to
use their best endeavors In making the
efforts of those engaged In this work ef-
fectual, and that the Unions cooperate
In placing in the field reliable Gospel
Temperance worker; that we pledge
ourselves to take this speaker and do
all we can 10 make the work effective
and self supporting.
3. That our local superintendent
Of Scientific Temperance Instruction,
be vigllant In their efforts 10 see that
directors and teachers do their whole
duty In instructing the youth of our
State according TO law, and that we se-
cure the amendment to this law afiix-
Ing penalty for the violation of the
same.
4. As IL Ii evident that the friends
OF the liquor traffic will endeavor to se-
cure the passage OF the high license law,
at the next session Of our legislature,
therefore, we recommend that our Tn
ions circulate petitions asking our Leg
islators to give us Statutory prohibit
tion.
8. WHEREAS, 1t Il the duty of the
White Ribbon women of Oregon, To ac-
quaint themselves with the argument
which compels our leaders to work for
the franchise, therefore we recommend
that the Superintendent OF Literature
be authorized to correspond with Tn
ions and suggest the best literature on
the subject and urge It's careful consid-
erntion.
@6. That we are much gratifled with
the progress made In the establishment
of the Industrial Home In Portland
and earnestly recommend our local I'm
ions TO devise ways and means for rails
Ing funds for its support. Also TO carry
it I'm prayer To Him who said "For We
have the power with you always and
whensoever We will, ye may do them
good"
!. As Mrs. Andrews of the National
Union has selected and published list
of books for the Local Unions, and ns
oar President has suggested that we
give special attention to parts OF that
course, we recommend that during the
year cur Unions purchase, read and
loan the following books: Hygiene
In the Home" "our Country" "Sci-
encc OF Politics. duties OF women''
and Better Nont.n
$. That we, as house-keepers and
home-workcrs feel the necessity Of
more hygienic knowledge on the part
of the housc-kCepers, and recommend
that these matters be thoroughly dis
cussed at meetings arranged for that
purpose. We especially press this sub
ject upon mothers who need special
knowledge 10 enable them to train
their daughters I'm household economy,
and dignity labor.
