woMAN's NATIONAL COUNCIL
Had no: National ]. aud /. officer Sue A. San
ders been confined 10 her room with illness during
National Convention she would without doubt
have been at her post When at that mid
night hour, the last night OF Convention, Past Ma
tional Presidents Kate b. Sherwood and L. Flor
ence Barker abored in vain to have the handful OF
delegates present vote for the majority report of
the Council Committee favOring representation
OF the Woman's Relief Corps ia the Woman's Ma
uonal Council, the action Of the Convention was
most remarkable. see report in the Journal of
Convention. This is what the National j. and l..
Officer says la the Vidctte:
Already eleven Of tile most prominent associa-
tons OF women ia the United States have entered
TINS Council, and yet, strange as II may seem, we
do not md among these societies the name Oi the
Noman's Relief Corps, one Of her representa-
tive women. The reason for this. we have no
doubt Is valid yet we regret that the largest chart
table organization earth, hence the most worthy,
u not represented ia this Council. Perhaps we
are over enthusiastic la this cause, but though
standing alone n member Of the WR.C. we
must IA our opinions sanction this Council, and a.
a member OF the Order we love best, join these
noble women with our best wishes for unbOunded
success In the plans and efforts Of this oTganiz.-
ton.
OUR NATIONAL I. AND I. OFFICER.
Sue A. Sanders, National Instituting aud Install
Ing Officer has had a call TO institute Relief Corps
in Canada. Good for Canada and our comrades
over there.
Corps has been organized in Savannah, Ga.
Montana is on the anxious seat; Bozeman and
Miles City both favorable to the work.
Our National Insttuting and Installing Officer
never does things by halves, and made her debut
the platform in fine style at the dedieatOry sery-
ice Of Grand Army hall at RosevilIe, Ill. Her
history Of the aims, objects and achievements Of
the Relief Corps awakened gres. enthusiasm.
Five years ago band Of jealous women, auxili-
AIRY to A. c. Harding Post. conceived the idea Of
building GAR. hall About this time new
school-house was built which made II possible for
these women 20 fiud bargain in purchasing the
old. Like all women, quick aud generally wise Ia
conclusions, they purchased the building, and ut
once commenced the work Of remodeling and fit
ting up the same. The FIRST floor was converted
into Opera House, the second floor into q. A.R.
hail. both furnished under careful economy. An
indebtedness of about 81 900 was assumed by these
women. which they proposed to pay by continued
work and rent Of their Opera House. The dedica-
tory services were held ia the Opera House. where
a large body OF Roseyillg's best citizens gathered
10 learn Of the good work Of the Order that ex-
hibited so much public enterprise.
Here Is "A little Joke worth thinking about from
which WR.C. talent may take courage and "speal<
out ia meetin'" now that our National Instituting
and Installing Officer las made big success Of il:
81 hear they going 10 ask me to speak ut "A
public dedication" wrote sister in distress, II
a. sN.g -. 4 A.
IL they ask me?"
What shall you do? Why, go. Any woman
that has as many ideas az you have, which the
world is waiting for, can speak AS well as write"
This was the reply, and good sister went
aud now we are very much mistaken IL we do
not hear from her at all points OF the compass.
