The Outlook.

Rachel Foster Avery, Philadelphia:
The last week of January witnessed
the first western annual meeting of the
organized woman sutfragists of the
country for decade. Some years
ago it was quite usual to hold these
conventions in the west. then for a
tine their influence was concentrated
on the national capital during the
time congress was in session. Now
again the conventions are being used
for propaganda and this purpose the
meeting at Des Moines certainly
served.
Several straws showing that the
wind of public conviction is blowing
our way were most encouraging. One
was the reception rendered the officers
aud speakers on the convention by the
Des Moines Woman's Club, a con-
servative body of women just becom-
Jag awakened to sense that their
O vn individual homes do not make
the whole world: such an invitation
from such club to such a convention
OF radicals is almost unprecedented.
At the evening session which opened
the convention, the governor of the
ate, the mayor of Des Moines, two
OF the leading cleroymen and q prom
'ent woman selected by the Woman's
Club made part of tie galaxy of those
| we coming the convention. Rut when
the senate of Iowa sent committee of.
three of its own members to one Of
our sessions to express personally the
senate's inyit stion to us to come to
the stlte house the nexs day and
speak on our cause in the senate
chamber, and when on the occasion OF
our going almost the entire house of
representatives was also present. then
indeed we realized that our movement
is getting into politics. This encour-
aging outlook gives to us eastern
women the hope that we may not have
to live to the age of the patriarchs be-
fore in our own states we shall have
the opportunity now SO IN fssllsss., ls., - &

Seeing that some of our legis-
lators want the printers OF the
state to work for about nothing.
why would it not be a good plan
for the legislature to pass law
for the state to set up a printing
office of it's own and let the con-
victs do the work-if there are
any printer convicts in the pen,
which is extremely doubtful.

The contrast in the condition
of the country between the time
Of Lincoln's first inauguration
and that OF President-elect Nc
Kinley is said to be vividly port
r;lyed in an article by Stephen
Fiske for the March Ladies'
Home Journal. In telling of
''When Lincoln was First In
augurated" Mr.. Fiske graphical
ly describes Mr.. Lincoln's jour-
ney from Springfield. Illinois. to
Washington. and the incidents of
the Inauguration and the attend
ant festivities. There We're
grave fears that Lincoln would
be assassinated as he rode in the
inaugural procession to the
capitol, and every possible pre-
caution was taken for his safety.
Mr.. Fislle will recall the safe
guards placed around the presi-
dent. Special officers and de
tectives in citizens clothes were
stationed in numbers among the
crowds that lined the sidewalks,
and sharp-shooters occupied po-
sitions of vantage on housetops.
etc. along the route of parade.
The military escort of the presi-
dent-elect was heavily armed,
ready to promptly meet any hos
tile demonstrations, and the
crowds were kept a distance
from the presidents carriage
so far that the could not distin-
guish Mr.. Lincoln from Mr..
Buchanan. who rode beside him.
The police were instructed to ar
restall persons making opprobri-
GUS threats against Mr.. Lincoln.
Or uttering disloyal sentiments.
The tension was great and the
whole country was in state of
suppressed excitement.

Printers. as a rule, do not get be-
hind the bars-they generally
line up in front. See! tits fun
ny how the average legislator
rates a newspaper man. Before
election his services are consider
ed worth good wages. After he is
elected the newspaper man is ex.
pected to work for nothing. This
is a fair example of before and
after taking.

The North Dakota legislature
adjourns next week. after a very

have been making an effort to
economic by peeling down the
clerk hire and salaries in the
state offices, cutting off printing

and unnecessary expenditures
all along the line. The people
commend these actions-because
that is what the legislature was
