THERE is said to be a rotteniy pao
law on the statute books which permits

cbapter and verse for it; but they say it

When Mayor Wanser wants to stop
wilful squandering of the city's money,
he can generally find a way, statute or

If he refused to sign the resolution

THE WOMAN.s COUNCIL.
An IncongruOus Gathering Whose
Purpose Is Not Practical.

Philadelphia North American.
The. National Council of Women in session
at Washington is a reunion of women s
societies of all sorts in a triennia1 confer
ence. In view of the diversity of aim and
purpose which characterizes these societies.
the combination is trifie grotesque If
the Y. NJ. c. A, the knights of Labor, the
Board OF Trade and the baseball clubs met
in joint convention. the effect would be
more homogeneous, indeed, but not altogether
unlike. 1t is true that all these women 3
thropy in common, but it does not seem
to be this which controls their proceedings.
They seem to hold their meetings to inn
press upon the country how large and in
fluential an element woman has become in
public life, and how fit women are for
the still larger responsibilities which are
generally withheld from them.
We are not sure that the proceedings
will have this effect on public opinion. The
gathering brings to the front one type
of woman only, and with her the public
has long been familiar. She is what might
be called the woman by profession, who
measures everything by it's relations to her
sex and her claims for it. She loves to
dilate on every achievement of woman, as
though the public must accept this as some
She is full OF grievances of woman, often in
matters where men and women share eX-
actly alike. She never has awakened to
the fact that men and women are weighed
by society in much the same scales, and
when woman does good work in any field
she is sure of the same recognition as a
man gets. The professional woman is but
the lighter element in the great uplifting
wave of wOmanS progress.
