Mr.. F. w. Wilson returned last even

a political address of 80 minutes length
before the Republican club there. Some
125 we're in attendance. The previous
afternoon, ALEC was given over to a

speakers had good audiences, the places
of business generally remaining closed
to enable all to attend. The Republi-
can club there is in a most f1ourishing
condition. They have established head
quarters in large hall, aud it is plenti-
fully supplied with the best literature.
A careful poll of the place was made
some days ago, resulting in a vote of
ffty-six for Mckinley and thirty-fve for
Bryan, with some doubtful. The Re-

ments for joint debate between NJ. P.

lines, introducing object lessons on both
subjects, with convincing arguments so

ments used on the tariff question were
calculated to eliminate the idea that the
consumer pays the duty, clearly show
ing that the amount of duty simply less
ems the profit of the foreign manufact-
urer and protects the price OF American
labor, without increasing the price of
the commodities. Mr.. Schoonmakpr

The General Federation of Women's
Clubs has an officer in each state, known
as the state chairman of correspondence.
This officers duty is to inform herself
concerning women's clubs in the state !;
to interest them. if possible. in the aims
and work of the General Federation; to
assist in any way she can in forming
new clubs; to furnish all clubs, desiring
them, with programs of study, copies of
constitutions, or any other printed mat
ter issued by the General Federation.
Mrs. G. B. Wade was Oregon's first
state chairman, and was reappointed at
the biennial meeting of the General
Federation at louisville, Ky., last May
There are three clubs in this state be-
longing to the General Federation, but
the state chairman is interested in all
clubs, and would welcome correspond
ent from each and every one in the
state. She has TINS far been able to
learn of only about a dozel, and feels
sure that there must Le many more to
hear from.
Many of the states have State Fedora
tlons, and our own great state should
not be the last to organize such feder-
alton.
Women's clubs, wherever they exist.
are helpful in furthering the best in
terests of society. The club woman Is
the better wife and mother for the
broadening influence of her club.
The state chairman earnestly wishes
for and cirdially invites the cooperation
of all the clubs in the state. Without
this she can do very little.

A GIRL cARrooNIsT..
Miss Viola Kent Exhibits Great Natural
Talent as an Artist.

remarkable cartoon, both in design
and execution, has been drawn by 15-
year-old school girl in The Dalles, which
shows comprehension of the political
situation and aptitude for sketching
amounting to a revelation as to the edu-
cation and the capabilities of the child
rem who attend our public schools. The
picture is double one, each side reveal
ing points that shows much past study
upon American politics and the effect
that the different policies of the great
parties would have if in operation.
The left half is devoted to the situa-
ton if Bryan was elected president.
Ships are arriving from foreign countries
loaded with manufactured products and
raw materials, Bales of American wool
are stacked upon the wharves, bearing
the significant label t'no sale." A hat
less ne~sboy is trying to sell his papers
with apparently poor success. An un-
employed workman is sitting upon a dry
goods box, and look of hopeless dejec-
ton is given his features by the talented
young artist. A wretched LOOKING
women in rags and tatters is leading q
hungry-leoking child. A cartdriver is
urging his dispirited horse along. The
cart is empty, so is the horses stomach.
The. only thing pleasing about the pic
ture is the look upon Bryan's face, as he
stands in the door of the White House,
pouring silver dollars into the sack of
the silver mine owner in return for the
bullion he had taken to the mint. The
American flag is furled
The right half of the picture shows a
great contrast. Major Mckinley has a
contenplative cast of countenance as he
looks with evident satisfaction over the
whole country. He sees American ships
laden with American goods leaving our
ports for their transatlantic journey :;
factories are belching out great clouds of
smoke, while the placard appears on the
walls, "Workmen wanted" The news
boy has no trouble to sell his papers :;
well-fed and well-clothed school child
rem are trudging along to school with
books under their arm; the horses hold
up their heads and work like their
drivers, with spirit everything betokens
active life and employment, and the flag
over the White House flies in the breeze.
The keystones of the two pictures are
found in the banners respectively over
each, "Free Trade" and ''High Tariff"
The cartoon is an able conception and
shows the creator, though girl of Is,
to be possessed of much intelligence and
fair general knowledge of American
politics. The gifted young lady, who
under proper training, will make for her
self an enviable reputation and a good
competence, is Miss Viola Kent. She
has great natural talent, and should re-
ceive every encouragement in the pur-
of this art.
