where the boys can camp and have good
time with some educational training, under
the supervision of a thoroughly competent

At the woman's council the morning
hour was given to a discussion Of the mu-
nicipal election question and womans part
therein, preceded by a brief paper by Miss
Anna Angel, of Leavenworth. on THE Mu-
nicipal Ballot For Young Women" The
thought of the speaker was the need for
interest in municipal politics by the wom-
en- of the state; and the need of practical
political work at the polls by women. The
discussion which followed defined sharply
the difference between the theo-etic wom-
an politician in Kansas who Is always
ready with impractical suggestions of what
ought to be done and the woman in prac-
tical politics who, having had experience,
knows what has to be done and when and
how.
