AMERICA AND

By HERBERT HOWE BANCROFT.
Author of "The New Pacific"

Americans are crossing the great waterway and minging with
the orientas, and they in turn are coming toward the rising sun and
learning OF us in our own land lessons of progress and civilization
which they are carrying home again to Others Of their countrymen.
And this interminglng OF men, and their necessities, will increase,
and Cause industry and intellectual activity to increase until this
whole world encompassing arena shall bloom anew and bring forth
fruit a hundredfod.
Within the influence of the Pacific inside of a few years, exchange
OF products will be established with millions Of people, which will keep
in active operation all those who can produce from the soil. from
mines, or from mills With this worldwide and universal develop
nent Of industries will arise an increased demand for skilled labor.
Many young men we have educated and are educating in The arts Of
industry and peace as we'll as in the arts of war, and there will be
full occupation for all
X is to these things the development Of the Pacific is bringing
us6ust as The development Of the Atlantic brought opportunities to
"a bpe four centuries age. WE WILL BE TO THE PACIFIC
WHAT EUROPE WAS TO THE ATLANTIC and the land living
beyond It hat but awaited the arrival Of the caravals Of Columbus
to blossom forth in the glory Of a new civilization

The Club Woman Docs
Not Neglect Her Home
BY MRS. WIN. TODD HELMUTH
President of the New York State FEDERATION Of womsn's ciuUs.

Perhaps the objection most often urged
against the club woman, so-called, is that
she neglects her home and family.
l must say that have not seen any OF
those neglected homes and families. On the
contrary, my observation has been that the
women who are the most enthusiastic in
women's movements are usually the best
wives and mothers. Their rooms are not
kept in disorder. Their children are not
neglected. They know everything about a
house. They can cook anything, from oat-
meal porridge to terrapin, and can make
beds and iron shirts, as we'll. And yet they
can find time to give to the movements in

Now the problem of China is, and will for some time continue
to he, the most interesting question to the rest of the world. Its
future is unknown. 1t is now a nation asleep, as it has been for
centuries, but it shows signs Of awakening. If the process OF awaken
ing is carried out in the right way China will prove a blessing to
the world. If it is not, the world will be sorry for having undertaken
and accomplished the task, for the Chinaman can be either a faith
full and obliging friend, or a vengeful and powerful foe.

A real understanding Of the

All this, you say is mere statement No, it is a correct state
ment, based upon the observation of a lifetime.
H THE LEADING AIMS OF WOMEN'S ORGANlZA-
TIONS ARE H ENCOURAGING OF DOMESTICITY AND
H FOSTERING OF HOME TIES.
Woman has always been a little queen in her own home. She
cannot be anything else. The home is her domain. All her inter
ssts are centered there. 1t is to improve herself, to give herself
4 Setter equipment for her mission in the home that she frequents
the club.
The club gives her a broader outlook. 1t makes her more char
liable and more c~onsiderate of the feelings Of others. 1t teaches
her that there are other women besides herself and other things be-
SdeS her own little personal affairs. This alone is of i~ncalculahe
vaue to herself. her children, her husband and her friends.
Here is another remark which is not mere statement. WOM-
EN DO NOT MEET IN THEIR CLUBS TO GOSSIP. That is
one thing that is particularly avoided. If YOU give the matter one
moments consideration you will realize that the difference between
the conversation of cubwomen and other women is noticeaby to
the advantage of the former.

lively for everything that is good. She is ACTIVELY against
everything that is bad. She is forever seeking to broaden her field of

Of course there are fanatics in womens movements as there are
