prssticsd " slsb nsmbsrs 70 carry
| thsmsslves into ONCE, that I an oo0-
| PEELED 70 say few words along this
line. But Ii tho matter Of selecting
officers We have not entirely risen
sbove the thought, that our own per.
sonsl friends are the best fitted for the
ohacSs. Too often they are the least
qualified. In the selection Of oflcsrs
the matter Of personal friendship
should mot enter In aud al other con-
sideration, save that Of adsptability,
should be eliminated.
We should never subject candidates
chosen for Office to questioning, to COS
sip, or worst Of all to insinuations.
We should rather consider them with
special honor. for only in this way can
we preserve the dignity Of our Club.
The treatment national candidates re-
ceive 10 disgrace to American politics.
It is Of such . nature that men Of noble
character do not subject themselves to
the attacks Of unprincipled opponents,
by standing for Office. Let us be care
full that in our Womsn's Club we keep
far from such evil ways. I deplore
woman's becoming adept in the use
OF political methods deplore wire
pulling, caucasing and electioneering.
! lament partisanship and everything
that separates us from womanliness
and noble aims.
The question we should ask ourselves
is: Have we reason to believe that the
candidate will make q good officer?
We must learn to be impersonal and to
consider qualifications for office with.
out regard TO individual feelings aud
relations.
This brings to my mind the matter
Of "holding the tongue as men say,
''club loyalty" we say. All club mat
ters are as sacredly confidential as il,
under the oath Of the Free Mason. III
10 the hall mark of respect and good
breeding.
The woman who goes out and talks
Of the votes and doings of . club or
meeting has forgotten her
violated her club lsyalty and
deserves all the opprobrium she gets.
And you may be sure she gets It.
Let as see to it that opr hearts beat
true; that they beat with sympathy
and love and sisterly charity; that they
beat with high hope for the future and
q growing desire to helps and not hinder
the work Of making the world bette
place.
Above all let US love ono another,
and not hesitate to say the loving
word. Flattery is poison. but sincere
appreciation is wholesome stimulant.
True love never harms, it helps and
For love is the fulfilling of
the law and the power of our club out
side, depends on the harmony within.
