The president of the Social Science
club of Kansas and western Missouri,
Mrs. j. NJ. Kellogg, writes the editor Of
the EAGLE that the Trans-Missouri
Passenger association have granted a
one and one-third fare for all who may
| attend the ninth semi-annual meeting of
the society to be held in Wichita on
Thursday and Friday, November 7th
and Sth. That means that all the roads
that reach this city will make the re-
duction named.
The meeting promises to be very in
teresting one, many of Kansas and
Missouri's brightest women will honor
our city and its homes with their
presence. That they will be welcomed
and Hospitality entertained goes without
saying, and we hope no lady however
far she may have travelled in reaching
us, will regret either the time or expense.
AS women have such an eye for the
artistic, such an appreciation of the
beautiful, we are sorry that their
visit must occur at time
when the Peerless Princess will
he disrobed and shorn of her leafy glory.
Her foliage will not only have fallen
but, like faded and cast-away habili
ments, will lie scattered about discolored
and unsightly. But Wichita will be
here with her open hospitality, warm
heart and appreciative and cultured
sentiment. These, with fair weather
and smooth roads, and the discomforts
of November may be overlooked.
The Social Science club was organized
in 1881, as a purely literary and social
organization, religion nor politics not to
be discussed, and is, therefore, in no
sense a suffrage pow WOW. Its founders
desired that it should be an organization
of strength and dignity with higher
and more cosmopolitan character than
would have been possible under distract
ing and mooted discussions like those of
suffrage, and so long as its membership
hold to the original enunciation it will
not only continue unit of power for
good but command attention ald respect.
The program which the president en-
closes is an interesting and suggestive
one, but contains, to our mind at least,
two induces of trouble, or intimations that
the tabooed subjects may be discussed,
