The Federation of Women's clubs adj
journed sine die yesterday afternoon,
amid tears and smiles. When the time
came for Mrs. Jennings, the president,
TO give up her Office to her successor,
and thank the federation for having
been so kind 10 her she broke down.
Others were affected. Handkerchlets
We're brought into use here and there
throughout the audience until the fare
well was a Hood Of tears with rays OF
smiles through them. 1t was the first
good cry the federation ever had and
the affair might not haveas9en femi-
nine without it.
There was not very much business
done yesterday. There was the reading
of reports of a few clubs, the election
of directors and the election of dele
gates to the national convention at Mil
waukee. The grim necessities of par
liamentary law arose again TO entangle
the convention and before it had fin
ished choosing the delegates to Milwau-
kee the rules of order had been some
what twisted.
The session was opened yesterday
morning DN the u hnlllty
that where there was but one delegate
from club she should not have the
two votes entitled to ii. But the mo-
ton was defeated on the ground that
many of the far away country clubs
find it impossible 20 send two dele
gates.
The national reorganization scheme
was discussed at some length, but there
was no definite decision taken conce77n-
fr,er ff Nbs Ga1a taG the national
convention will go uninstructed. on the
motion of Mrs. Sam A. King of Provo,
q committee of five will be appointed
TO write letters TO various clubs
throughout the state explaining the
scheme and asking their opinions upon
it.
More Club Reports.
There were reports of clubs as fol-
lows: Ladies' Literary club of Manti,
by Mrs. Olson; Busy Woman's club of
Moab. by Mrs. Kirk; Reading club of
Corinne, by Mrs. Clawson, and the
Union club of Orangevilie, by Mrs.

tee on directors was read by Mrs. Nellie

Susie r. Wells Mrs. s. J. Lakin, Mrs.
A. j. Grant, Mrs. Eugene Lewis, Mrs.

Delegates to Milwaukee.
Mrs. A. V. Taylor was put in nomi-
nation for delegate to Milwaukee. Mrs.
Igleheart made a regular political con-
vention nominating speech, in which
she eXtolled the good points of her can
didate. 1t was the first and only speech
Il. ~. \
hit. She named Mrs. Charles d. Moore.
Mrs. e. A. Wedgewood, Mrs. w. c.
Jennings, Mrs. W. w. Ritter. Mrs. Au-
gusta Grant, Mrs. Richie. Mrs. William
lgleheart, Mrs. Jane Talmage and Mrs.
Arthur Brown We're also placed in NOM
ination.
Mrs. Jennings withdrew as did Mrs
Igleheart. In fact there We're many
motions and many Withdrawals and
some ladies still had candidates. A
motion TO reconsider the motion clos
ing nominations was lost
Then the lady who had named Mrs
Richie found out that she didn't want
to nominate her, as it would interfere
with her loyalty to another candidate.
The chair decided that Mrs. Ritchie's
name might be withdrawn any time
before the ballots We're collected. Upon
appeal she was not sustained.
Mrs. 1gleheart, who had attempted TO
withdraw, insisted again, but the chair
ruled that it was too late.
The following ladies were chosen:
Mrs. A. V. Taylor. Mrs. Charles D.
Moore and Mrs. Wedgewood with a tie
between Mrs. Igleheart, Mrs. Richie
and Mrs. Talmage. Again Mrs. Igle-
heart insisted upon Withdrawing in ia
N9r Of Mrs. Richie, who was then
elected by reclamation.
Mrs, Ritchie, Mrs. Ritter, Mrs Arthur
Brown and Mrs. w. c. Jennings We're
elected alternates.
There was commotion and relaxation
for moment, which Madame Presi-
dent checked very quickly.
This is very trying TO your chair
man as she is no doubt trying to you"
said she.
The chair declared a recess until
O'Clock.
At the afternoon session papers were
read and Professor Cooper, city super
intendent of schools. made an address.
Mrs. Lund's Paper.
The essay of Mrs. Lund of the Utah
Woman's Press club upon the "Rela-
ton of the Club to the Community"
was greatly appreciated. 1t was in
part as follows:
Someone says, The woman's move
lliGnL Is lIc llulildIl movement. Inc
history of the worlds great changes
are Of vast Importance, for great re-
forms and events never come suddenly
There is always a long course of prep
aration for them. There certainly is no
study that affords so much real enjoy
ment. nor is altogether so useful, as
the history OF civilization, and in pur-
suing this study of the growth and
development of the human family the
point that stands out most clearly is
that il was not until woman became
an element in the national growth that
a government was established that
could bear the test and stress of time
History is full of examples of brilliant
civilizations. but not being built upon
the right foundations, they could not
last, and without due reverence for
womanhood no government can live
Very long or make any great strides in
progress. The test OF any nation
greatness is made by learning what its
wcnlen are. If the study of the worlds
history ever inclines me to take a pes
simiStic view of the same l go to En-
erson and am comforted. for he says:
Although knaves win in every politi-
cal struggle. although society seems to
be delivered over from the hands of
one set of criminals into the hands of
another set of criminals. as fast as the
government is changed and the march
of civilization is a train of felonies vet
general ends are somehow answered
We see now events forced on which
