of color, but of mentality
PERTINENT QUESTION ASKED.
Mrs Burbank, of St Cloud, asked per-
tinently, What are we to understand by
the solidarity of race, the universal
brotherhood of man, Christs command,
Little children, love one another?' y
Mrs Bramhall. of st. Paul, thought
admittance would be bad for the colored
club. The members should work for and
with their own people. Once in the white
federation, their interests would natu-
rally be with that federation.
Mrs. Washburn, of Duluth, begged the
state federation to settle the question
itself and not leave it for the general
federation. She spoke in favor of the ad-
mission. re-
Mrs. Hunt. of Minneapolis thought that
the women should wait to see what the
men did in their clubs. The suggestion
was coldly received by both sides,
Mrs. Tuelle, of Newport and Mrs. Fair.
of Spring Valley, both spoke against adj
mission At this point Miss Evans de-
manded recognition, and instantly every
face was turned in her direction She had
not finished when the warning bell told
that the three minutes allotted her were
up. but in her brief speech she showed
a
plane than the majority seemed willing to
accord it. 1t was of more Importance to
the white women that the petition of the

few colored women met with it than could
PRESIDENT Roosevelt be hurt when he en-
tertained Booker T.. Washington.
Miss Evans speech made distinct
impression, but it could not melt away
the prejudice of Minnesota wonsan, and
when the vote was taken it was found
that by good majority the report of
the membership committee was adopted,
thus leaving the general federation to
settle the vexed colored question. Mrs.
Williams admirable self-poise and
strict Partially during the trying dis
crssion was much commented on.
Alter the vote had been taken. Mrs.
Porter, of the Adelphi club. was given
an opportunity to address the conYen-
ton. She thanked the delegates for their
courtesy and for the unimpassioned man
ner in which they discussed the Dues
ton, but she added. II am sorry that
the women of the Northland or of the
Southland should hesitatesto take stand
for right
a few club women greeted Mrs. Porter
after the session. but her reception was.
not cordial.
