The article Of Mrs. Sawyer's in last
weeks Courier aalrms the most practi-
cal solution Of the difficulties presented
to the general federation which I have
seen. would go a little farther even
than she does and limit all biennial
business to election of officers and direc.
tore and to amendments to the constitu.
tion which pertains to taxation and rep.
resentatlon only. All who were at the
Louisville biennial will recall the weari.
come hours spent in fruitless endeavors
to change the constitution and bylaws.
1t is an almost hopeless task for large
body, and all amendments except those
relating to taxation and representation
could profitably and satisfactorily be
left to the council. The two biennials
which I have attended have seemed too
large only when we tried to attend to
the minutiae Of business which might
be left to much smaller body. But
for the general meetings and for the de-
partment programs the large numbers
are an inspiration and help. The pro-
posed change Of membership in the gen.
eral federation from club delegates to
state federation delegates exclusively.
would, Of course, mean that taxation
also would follow along this same line.
Any great increase in state federation
dues would mean an embarrassing and
distressful reorganization Of state feder.
atoms and also OF the individual clubs
in these state federstions. I believe
nothing but barrenness would result
from an immediate change in the status
Of the general federation. also believe.
that experience will demonstrate tho
fact that the per capita tax will work to
the detriment Of the general federation,
az many large clubs will feel that it
does not pay to give 90 large proper
tion OF their annual income to the gen.
eral federation when there are no many
calls for money nearer home-calls
which come from practical philanthropy.
II Mrs. Sawyer would explain now fully
the financial plans OF the Educational
Association she would enlighten many
OF us to our profit.

Unwelcome Advice.
The writer Of these observations has
been perhaps justly criticised for ad.
dressing q few remarks to wives end pre-.
senting an example Of model wife In q
late number Of this paper. The critics
have urged that advice from the outside
is Of little value and that its unsolicited
tender by one who has had no personal
experience is indication Of a sell pos-
session that would be called nerve, on
the street.
These worthless forget that in order
to appreciate the truth concerning the
relation and harmony Of parts it is
necessary to stand afsr off. A soldier
in the thick Of battle does not know
how tie fighting goes. But little un.
important newspaper reporter up q tree
mile away can see plstoons Of men
forming to strengthen this or that line
or to hurl itself on this redoubt at an
unexpected point. Indifferent, fre.
quently, as to which way the battle
turn, he is nevertheless in point of
vantage and With bis field glass at his
eye might council the young lieutenant,
q much braver and better man who
rides at the head Of his troops and leads
the charge. He may be an old CORE.
spondent who has seen France and
Russia fighting, who has seen England
in Zululand and who was with the
Greeks and Turks. Yet he has never
worn sword nor carried anything
heavier at his belt than lunch basket.
II he picked up Q musket, he would
handle 1t like q trained monkey. though
II he saw troops making such motions
he would make them the laughing
stock Of the world. Yet such is the un.
reasonsbleness OF newspaper readers
that they reject advice which would
transform their unhappy and tempest
tossed little homes into peaceful sooth.
ing GASES in the desert Of days, because
it is offered by spectator Of many
matrimonial battles rather than a vet.
eran survivor OF any herself.
In the particular case under discus
sion the writer has had an opportunity
to try herself the distracting struggle
in which men uncomplainingly engage
day after day. and can testify that il
the struggle have it's victories. the
strain. the dust and, above all. the fact
OF conflict conquers the nerves. his op.
ponents have considered indomitable.
When this beaten man returns to his
home 1t is one Of the cruelties that God
seems to have forgotten, when 1t is pre-.
sided over by woman with sharp tongue
and an eye which notes not the dull
eye and the shrunken muscles of the
face. But the woman might be cured
and made sympathetic, IL she could feel
but for week herself, the strain and
the conflict that the bread winner feels.

The number Of clubs in the large cities

When we consider thoughtfully a
statistical report like this, and then bear
in mind the large number OF women's
clubs not yet in the federation, and the
still greater number OF women's organi.
cations, useful and helpful. which are
not clsssed under the head OF clubs, we
are encouraged at the extent women
are cooperating with each other and
fitting themselves to become intelligent
leaders 10 the affairs of the world.

Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, ex president
Of the G. F. w. c., has just contributed
to the bulletin Of the department Of

number Of clubs in the federation OF

for four years. The present head OF
this organization is Mrs. Rebeccs D.
Lowe of Atlanta, Ga. In the thirty

certainly gratifying to Western club
women to know that four western states
exceed Massachusetts, which has a.

Massachusetts has smaller number OF

that you must "go west young woman"

COMMITTEES IN CHARGE

All of the committees who have IN
charge the reception to the volunteers
upon their return to Anaconda, Will meet
at the Montana hotel this evening 70
make final arrangements for the event
The Anaconda postofiice will be closed
on Volunteers day, the same as on sun
day. Through Postmaster Irwin, OF
Butte, who took the matter up with the
postal authorities at Westinghouse the en-
ployes of both Butte and Anaconda can
rest on that day and see the Volunteers
celebration at the metropolis. The teach-
ers and pupils of the Anaconda schools
also want a vacation on the day the VOL
unteers return to Montana. The foundry
will close as tight as a drum and the en-
tire smelter plant will be practically clos
ed for t he day. so as to enable one and
all to see the volunteers.
Speaking with an Inter Mountain re-
porter yesterday Mayor Madden said he
was doing all he could for the celebration
in Anaconda, but there was not much left
for the citizens to do and comply with the
wish of the volunteers whose desire was
nothing but a good supper and a Dali. AS
for the celebration in Butte, the people
from this city We're going over by the
hundreds. A proclamation w as not nee
essary from him. inasmuch as there
would be no big celebration IN Anaconda
during the day time. BY mutual consent
every one was going to quit work on Vol
unteer day and see as much of the boys
as possible. but if necessary. he will issue
a proclamation, calling upon all to make
the day what the people OF Montana
would wish it to be.
A great many A naconda people desire
a short street parade, and the gathering
together of the volunteers at the
Margaret theater for an hour or more in
the early evening. where citizens old and
young can meet ond greet them, it be-
ing the impression that the room at
the Turner hadd where the upp ard
ball is to be given is not adequate for
such a meeting.
