necessary that steam and electric rail-

INFLUENCE IN LEGISLATION.
REFORMS TO BE CARRIED OUT WHAT
WOMEN's CLUBS CAB DO

At recent biennial club meeting in Denver Mr..
C. E. Allen. OF Utah. and Miss Clare de Graffen-
ried. OF Washington. ID. C.. spoke on The Possible
Influence OF Women in Legislation" The former
said
The power Of women legislation IL great
and is always productive Of good. both morally and
spiritually There Is place whore a woman can
use her influence to better advantage than among
the legislators and IL is through the legislative
bodies that the great reforms must be carried out.
II II IS right for talk upon religious sub
Jects In public. IL Is right and proper for them TO
discuss legislative matters and the two related.
also the time is coming when II will be con-
sidered right for women to appear and discuss both
subjects with equal freedom"
Miss Granenrcid followed saying: There
two ways of influencing Legislatures, directly and
indirectly, the Indirect manner Is attained by the
clubs. The reforms that the clubs have accom-
plished IS an example Of this indirect manner
Though the women deserve praise for what they
have accomplished. yet they should be more per-
sistent In their work and not allow themselves 10
become easily discouraged. Women should not
allow their energies 70 flag IN the summer on ac-
count of the neat but should follow up the work
accomplished during the winter.
"A great work has been accomplished by women
In the preventing Of the working Of children In the
sweatshops Of many of the larger cities. The en-
ploynlent Of children under twelve years or age IN
sUeatshops and factories is gradually being abol-
ished through influences brought 10 bear upon the
