BISBEE WOMANS CLUB
 HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETING

to risk his life to rescue a child from flood or fire? Not one And all the town would triumph in the saving of one little life. But how few of these same men take thought enough for the constant danger which threatens their children and ours to DEMAND sewerage. And if they did, would all the rest of the town applaud them Because this way was good enough | ten years ago. it is NOT good enough i now. and the purest. most intellect ual. most strenuous city officials in | the world can never in my opinicn. | cope with this constantly increasing | danger and menace of unsanitation, l without sewerage. We may plant our trees and flowers to try to teach our children the beauty of decoration be- fore they have learned the beauty of cleanliness. but we are simply scat tering rose leaves over a charnei house. Success upon this line must be based upon careful thinking out of fundamental principles, Logic without right premises is as useless as the wind-and may be as harmful It is said that sluggard may have convictions about canals on Mars. ;if the wheels in his head ordain,) but he who wishes to better conditions in Bisbee, has need to stir himself be- times, giving honest thought and la bor to the problem. Then whatever advantage may be gained, must come through the help of GOOD MEN. All that is planned may not prosper, but some small seed will. surely come to blossom. The wilderness must be re- deemed inch by inch into garden ground and tho the night seem long and the eyes of the watchers grow dim with sleep. the cry will ring out at last. The morning cometh."
 And what can we see for the kin dergarten? In the past year lay much of disappointment. We have met
 with temporary failure. and yet -
 Not failure but tow aim is crime"
 By every honest effort that we have
 made to benefit our time and our town
 we have enriched our lives. By just the weight of each false promise
 made your committee have the prom
 ises shown themselves as wells of
 bitter water in a dry country" We
 have come it is said to the day of
 the new woman. But the new man must be with us too. for it was said
 of the men of old that they were
 planned in a LARGE mold. whether
 for good or evil. The Kindergarten is lGOOD. The history of such cities as
 Boston. New York. Chicago, St Louis.
 San Francisco proclaim it. The gov ernment in it's official report on the subject declares it unequivoealiy .. i BECAUSE it is good. it can well af-
 ford to wait till some more conven- liept season. True waiting brings
 strength, if we keep our hope always
 in view as a sailor keeps his beacon light. I read a story once of a youth
 who grappIed with the tyrant Failure
 grimly refusing to accept defeat. And
 once resting. panting for breath, he caught a glimpse Of his morrored face
 and failed to recognize it--so had il
 grown in- power.
 Here lies MY hope for the Club.
 If there are rugged spots in the trai
 that leads to Success. let us look t' our Music Committee to soothe oai
 wounds through it's magic power, ana :. of our House and Reception Commit Il tees such kindly hospitality as to re :, new our hope and our strength. Le us keep company with all brotherli |, ness. sweetness of fellowship and jo' in one another and in the common f journey. Then shall our sight grov
 clearer. our natures nobler and ou l. hearts warmer" Let us set our ain higher and ever higher. that we ma, Q ALLOW for the inevitable shrinkage ,- and yet hold ourselves strong in at ,r tainnent at the years close. Mabi $ says ~As yet fingers the twelfth hon and the darkness, but there shal if come another era when it shall b ;s light. and man shall waken from hi e lofty dreams and dnd-his dreams a -- there and nothing gone but hi l. sleep"
 5 By the honor conferred upon m 1t by my reelection as your Presiden Q. I am made both humble and proud .e ask for your support in diseharsin .e the duties of the office. for withot Ie the help and encouragement of ths l. support my hope may grow weak. an a- my hands may fail
 ie That I may return to you this gave h. my insignia of office. unstained d any act of wrong or weakness. on tn .b part of officers or members. is m .e earnest wish. God grant that W
 may learn the joy of realization ,e President.
