The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1898-08-06

Miss Agnes Repplier, whose occupa-
ton it is unnecessary to mention. The
opportunity afforded the reporters
and editors to express their views of
the relations of the clubs to the press
and of the press to the clubs was very
grateful to the newspaper women and
they used it to explain their position
between the blue pencil of the city
editor who kills" what he does not
whose paper is the result Os six
months study. IN the whole the
morning strengthened the good un-
derstanding which exists between
club women and press women.
Mrs. c. II. Gere characterized Mrs.
Lowe, the new president of the fedora
ton, as brilliant, warmhearted. cana
bic woman. fully equal to the position
to which she has been elected.
The following letter was received from
Mrs. Breed concerning the Biennial
election at Denver:
Ny Dear Miss Harris:-Kindly mail
me two copies Of your Courier for July
9th.
II you knew me you never could have
written the article in the above number,
1t seems such q pity to write an arti-
Gle from facts ~ gathered from ones
enemies. You know We do not amount
TO anything unless We have q few enc.
mics, and all OF my life have suffered
from the envy and jealorsies of women.
but there are also few women who can
command more genuine love and respect
from good women than have been able
to do.
Then, too. it is always well to remem-
Der that there are always tSo sides to
every story, and it Is cot broao minded
for anyone to condemn a stranger on
account OF prejudice. The malicious
falsehoods printed in a certain Denver
paper by woman who never knew me.
and who, when asked il she would like
70 be introduced to me (unbeknown to
mel, replied, mo! thanks, don't care
to meet her, am fighting Mrs. Breed
II hardly an index Of q womanly char.
acter. Although she had written me in
the winter beseeching me for a picture
ana some data concerning my work, ETC.,
and assuring me that any favor she
could do me she would gladly do. and /
went to Denver and received nothing
but abuse at her hands.
Silence is a power, and although the
best paper in Denver, the cleaneet. was
placed at my disposal by the city editor.
We decided to endure aud to leave Dan,
YER with our self-respect unimpaired.
should be mortified to have Boston hold
. convention and have our pueets sub.
lected to such treatment az some peo.
pie accorded US at Denver. Neither
The Massachusetts, women nor I have
even thought Of seeding from the gen.
sral federation.
/, for one. have too good sense to think
hat because few women are unscrnn-
aloue. that all are.
Personally, have been all along in
'avor Of seeirg the ten cents per CAN'T.
AZ tried, because I have been on tbe
,oar6 and know we'll how much MA ars
q need Of funds.
1t was great disappointment to me-
hat the majority OF the Massacbuset,s
somen voted against inviting the Bien-
said at the time, IF am des,.tad
10 you know wLaI the malicious onea
'iil say! That We are angry and WON'T
ave the Biennial" Exactly what
lappened. The new woman said.
Massachusetts,. return evil for evil
mich seemed to state that evil had
zen done us.
Mrs. Lowe is friend Of mine.
Mrs. Henry Grady of Atlanta, Ga.
ave me q beautiful luncheon three
ears ago during the exposition there.
ars Lowe sat at my right and after the
lncheon We repaired to Mrs. loves.

owards forming the first womans club
