WOMAN'S CLUBS.
FIFTH BIENNIAL CONVENTION
MEETS IN MILWAUKEE,.
Address by President Lowe-Women
as Wage Farmers of the United
States.

Milwaukee, Tune 5.-Nothing could
have been more suspicious h the
formal opening of the fifth biennial con-
vention of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs today. The Alhambra
theater, which seats 1000, was crowded.
Following addresses of welcome by
Mayor Rose. Mrs. Peck. on behalf of the
women's clubs of Milwaukee, and Mrs.
Nevills for the state, the federation
president. Mrs. Lowe, delivered her BIZ
ennial address.
Mrs. Lowe reviewed briefly the growth
of the federation from it's first ~organiza-
ton until the present, showing the num-
Der of clubs taken in during her admin
istration of the chief office. Sh said:
Through the activities of the prep
aration or demand. I ave found con-
slant evidences of normal growth in the
universal tendency to pass more n
more from the merely p~leasurable to
the highly practical idea of club life.
'""The inception of women into the
financial and industrial world has been
so suddenly accomplished that they
stand their unadjusted to their environ
ment. They have had no time to reason
out their own position in the world of
wage earners. nor have economic spe-
~cialists thrown any light on the subject.
Women. earning wages outside of the
home is a phenomenon which has Just
swung within the ken of the political
economist. who only gapes at the spec
tacle. forbearing to %readiust his calcu-
lations to take her in. With more than
1000, 900 wage-earning women in Amer
lea, we must grant the existence of the
wage-earning woman and strive to find
a rational adjustment of it. If women
are to work for wages, they must be
enabled to do so without treading on
each others toes, or unduly jostling
the men,. Organization alone will bring
order out of chaos for them in this
problem: it is the excaliber with which
they may sever the gordian knot of their
! industrial conditions. Can he fedora
tion perform a greater work for the
~wage-earning woman than to place in
her hands this weapon with which she
may win her way to life, liberty and
possession of happiness? And for the
children-what shall we say Of the little
| child who is a wage Garner? The work
! here should by the process of elimina-
| ton for the wage-earning child, as q
! class, be abolished
The discussion of important questions
| to come before the assembly began In
earnest today. The addresses Of the
| morning were by the presidents and vice
| presidents of state celebrations
Mrs. Bookwalter of Ohio made the ad-
dress of welcome, and Mrs. Helmuth OF
/ New York presided.

THE BoERs' LAST STAND.

The Boer diplomatic agency in Brussels
is inclined TO treat the public couddan-

probable that the British general has

he reaches Bloemfontein Indeed. the

pass into the Free State No doubt within
a few days Sir Redvers Butler will be in a
position to take an active part in carry
ing out Lord Roberts further plan Of cam
paign, which may develop into something
to surprise his antagonists.
Some Of the London military writer's
suggest the theory that he may ignore the
Free state route which has been so careful
ly provided for by the Beers, and try a long
turn TO Pretoria by Mafeking. There may
be something in the idea. but Il does not
strike one with much force. The main OBJ
jeCt OF the campaign is not to reach Pre-
tOria. but 10 defeat and destroy the Boer
armies which are making war on the em-
pire They can be reached II at all
with a much shorter movement ana it
therefore seems more probable that the
advance through the Free State will pro
ceed at least as far as BlOemfontein. where
or near where il would be perhaps natural
for the three British columns. namely.
those under Roberts from Paardeherg.
Clements from Colesberg. and Butler from
Natal. to effect junction.
The prospects are not oc!y that there
will be interesting and exciting develop
ments all around the field, but that We shall
be able 10 hear about them in a more
full and satisfactory way than has been
the rule heretofore Lord Roberts has in
formed the correspondents with his army
that they viii be allowed greater tree
dom henceforward. That being the case
American readers may again be placed in a
position to follow the military operations
with intelligent understanding and ap-
prOXimate accuracy.
