Gan Do No Harm.

To give briefly my opinion of the
Woman's Congress | think it is one of
the best movements which have taken
place in San Francisco for long time.
My reasons for thinking so are these:
First, being as it is an attempt on the
part of earnest, honest women to meet
together and talk over those problems
and difficulties which the world and
every one in 1t are interested in solv-
ing just now, it is impossible for it to
do any harm and it is possible for 1t
to do great deal OF good. Secondly,
every forward movement which tends
as it does toward the uplifting OF edu-
cation and the advancement and vel
fare of children is always to be well
coined. Our children are our hope.
Whatever advancement we make po-
litically or morally depends upon
them, and if the Woman's Congress
offers any solution to this problem it
will be comforting the best of gifts
upon us.
1t is for these reasons that I cannot
see why people ridicule the idea of
such a meeting. Surely woman has
shown to the world by this time that
she is fully capable of taking an active
and vigorous part in il.

VIII Be Ultimately Successful.

An exchange of thoughts and con-
cert in action are in general produc-
tive of success. l think there can
be no doubt that the Woman's Con-
gress will ultimately be successful in
its purposes.
This organization, treating to a
great extent with woman in her differ
emit stations in life. is agitating sub
jects which within a com paratively
short time have made themselves fore
most among the questions of the day.
Many of these questions will probably
be left to be decided by the rising gen.
GRAFTON.
The papers read at the conventions
are in general of a very high order,
and l think if they were read by
larger number of people than can at
tend these congresses, they would
help to educate our people as much as
our colleges and universities do.
While there may be some faults and
even evils in this institution, and
while there may be papers read in it's
conventions with which we disagree,
still think we may anticipate great
deal of good in the accom- plishments
of the congress.

the cattlemen have asked for return

pound or hundred pound rate worked an
