ed protest from the people of Kansas.
That the government should allow
to be sold openly to our soldiers that
which causes poverty, disgrace and
death, in direct violation of the laws
of the state, calls for mark ed disap-
prevail from the people and should
not 60 unnoticed.
"The constitution of Kansas per-
mits foreigners to vote within six
months from the time of landing in
this country. Until this can be
changed by an amendment to the con-
stitution it becomes our imperative
duty to educate these people through
their own language in the evil effects
of the liquor traffic and also as their
duties to our government, therefore,
"We recommend that superintend-
ents of literature, of the press, of juvi-
nile societies, etc., make speciality of
carrying the light to these people who
have not had it in all their dwellings.
Let us turn our gatling guns for
awhile where they are most needed.
I'VE recommend that local unions
send for copies of the law against the
sale or gift of tobacco to minors, and
post it in all places where such sales
or gifts are made notifying the public
generally of their liberali ty in such
cases.
GAS women are respon stble for the
prosperity of nations, we desire that
all safeguards for the rearing to good
citizenship be given us in the privi-
leges of the ballot In plan of work
for the ensuing y ear we ought to have
stronger force in organization and
closer work among the women along
this line so as to create a. greater
strength of sentiment. We suggest
that petitions asking the next legisla-
ture for full state suffrage should be
circulated early in the year.
Believing the work i'm which we
are engaged to be the work of the
Lord, and to be dependent OH an ear
nest consecrated spirit, we urge our
women to do it, not as their work but
belonging to God. Let them come to
the point of regarding it as a privilege
and au honor to be engaged in this
work rather than duty and we will
be able to cultivate the enthusiasm
that is necessary to efficient labor.
1.-THE department of ''The Status Of
Woman" in our State University is
one of importance to every woman and
should receive the earnest commenda-
ton of all organizations of women.
We testify our gratitude to Prof. Can
field for the Inauguration of this de-
partment and deeply regret his de-
parture from our State University
where his interest for women was so
efficient for the practical working of
co-education.
ave desire to put ourselves on rec
ord as decidedly i'm favor of closing
the Worlds Fair Oh the Sabbath.
GAS the Wilson bill gives us the
power to make our laws so as to pro-
hibit the shipping of intoxicating
liquors for use, as well as sale, we will
use our influence with the next legis-
lature to so amend our laws, thus put
ting a stop to the principal source of
the drinking custom of our state.
"And finally, that we return our
sincere thanks to the citizens of lola
who so kindly opened their homes to
rs during our stay; also to the choir
md city orchestra who furnished such
delightful music, and to the Christian
Society for the use of their church,
md to the young ladies who had
charge of the decorations"
