IN WOMAN'S REALM.
CLUB CORNER.

The o b Q wishes to Impress upon the
women OF the Northwest that, while 1t strives
to make all its columns meet the wants Of
both men and women in the line OF news
and information, this particular column 10
devoted exclusively to tine interests of women.
These are days when not only club women
and women In public life are doing some Sc
rious thinking, but when the thoroughly do
mestic woman looks from the home upon
the trend of social. industrial and educational
affairs with an increasing thoughtfulness and
growing convictions. The world has seen no
reform whose origin cannot be traced to scat
tered expressions OF individual opinion. 1t is
such opinions which The G o aims to
make effective by securing them fair and Sc
rious expression. Signatures will be withheld
from print If 1t is SO requested, but we want
the views as well as the news Of what is
being done and what ought to and can be
done by club women and non-olub women to
improve the condition of the home the school
and the Industrial life.
We should especially urge that where wom-
en-, whether members of clubs or not have
tried any experiment in connection with their
particular line of work they would describe
the results for this column, as nothing is so
instructive, encouraging and inspiring as ex-
ample. Comparisons are always helpful, and
we are therefore anxious that clubs should
submit notes on their progress. To facilitate
this work club programmes are valuable

the question of imperialism, said:

POLITICS AND WOMEN.


To One 1t Is a Profession, to An
other an Intrigue and to Another
but an Episode.
To the English woman politics Is pro-
fession: to the French woman, an intrigue;
but to the American woman 1t is rarely more
than an episode-somethng that crosses her
path incidentally and Is presently disposed
OF. Such is the analysis of the knotty prob
lem by Frank Leslie's Monthly Some irrev-
erent person has ventured to assert that no
woman could legitimately hope to be success
1ul In politics for the simple reason that she
does not know how to shout. Be this it
may, women who quarter of century ago
were satisfied to be stepped in domesticty,
whose horizon was bounded on one side by
the nursery and on the other by the literature
Oh the cookbook now indulge in campaigning
and stump speaking, expressing their views
and booming" their man in very creditable
rhetoric. There is hardly city of any i'm
portance in the Union that does not boast of
Its woman's political club. The members make
IL their business to win votes in the poor dis
tricts and 1t must be confessed that in this
respect the results have been very gratifying.
The ladies are not only sincere in their eff
forts. but are fully alive to consciousness
OF their own Importance in the community.
No desire for personal preference or gain mars
their convictions. They labor for principle
"a cause-and are consequently entitled to
the high degree of respect that we accord
strictly honest motive. They appear also to
succeed in harmonizing their lives with their
political aspirations. Still, the most generous
minded cannot help feeling that their enthu-
slams are largely a matter of sentiment of
the kind that women Of every class are prone
to mix with the serious things of life, while
secure in the belief that they are simply ac-
complishing rigid duty; and in nowise do
they represent an actual force inasmuch as
while there Is undoubted power to be derived
from their cooperation, the moving strength
that springs from a seductive personality is
In most cases woefully lacking. Nevertheless
the woman who is a factor in our politics
exists, and we have only to go to the national
capital to see her in all her glory"

Real Point at Issue.

The "embalmed beef controversy is
developing a deal of nonsense Gen.
Miles charges were hardly uttered be-
fore there was undue activity upon
the part of both officials and packers
to prove that American canned and
refrigerated meats are nutritive and
wholesome. Voluminous evidence has
been offered TO show that the meats
supplied in the ordinary course of
trade are staple and satisfactory ar
ticles of food. All this is entirely be-
side the question. No one doubts and
no one has ever doubted that the meats
prepared for the market by the great
packing houses are fresh, nutritive
and made ready under conditions
which guarantee their value as food
and their wholesome character. The
product prepared for the open market
has never been questioned. COMPETE
tioQ has been too keen to permit of
belief that any one of the packing
houses would imperil its standing by
permitting any deterioration in its
output. The question is not as to the
quality of American meats offered in
the worlds markets. 1t involves only
the quality of the food supply furnish
ed to the government for the use of
soldiers in the field. Gen Miles says
the meat furnished for the troops was
below the standard of that offered for
private consumption. The packers and
the officials of the commissary depart
ment say it was not This raises a
distinct and specific issue and it is
the only one involved in the contro-
versy.
1t is. of course, unfortunate that any
question involving the packing indus
try has been raised. It is probable that
the trade at home will be affected in
some degree, and reasonably certain
that exports viii show a falling off
But for this result the packing firms
have themselves and their friends to
blame. They have answered charges
against special orders by alleging the
general excellence of their product;
stalking TO save a particular point a
general merit that was not questioned.
They themselves have decided to take
the risk and have small reason to COM
plain if they lose by so doing. 1t is
still an open question whether the
specific charges made by Gen. Miles
can be sustained. If they are and it is
shown that the packing houses DELHI
erately supplied the troops in the field
with inferior meats, any loss suffered
will be richly deserved penalty for
such unpatriotic conduct. If the
charges fail, the effect upon home and
export trade must prove only tenn
porary, and the packing houses con-
cerned can charge the loss to short
sightedness in bringing into the con-
troversy point not properly at issue.
In the meantime the real controversy
cannot be clouded. The public is in
terested in the sort of meat furnished
to the soldiers and not in the merit
of the product offered to the public.
