ventions. Others held that II was the
privilege OF the union to elect as its dele
gates whom 1t liked and the business Of
the rest of the members to accept the de-
cision Of the majority. The plan did not
carry.
A decided veto was put upon the constant
drain upon the unions treasury by STATE
workers, local members and others who,
because the union has a regular income
from the High school lunch, have not been
altogether considerate in their demands,
by refusing to pay the expenses of South
Omaha contestant In the grand gold medal
contest that will be a part of the program
of the state meeting. The rules Of the con-
test provide that not less than six shall
compete for the medal In order that the
full number might he secured. the state
superintendent of contest work requested
the Douglas county superintendent to sup
ply three of these The local union agreed
70 pay the expenses Of one, the contestant
TO be, selected by the county superintendent,
who is a member of the local union. Upon
request of a member of the South Omaha
union, the superintendent appointed
South Omaha boy but when she reported
the fact to the local union the members re-
fused to sustain the appointment on the
ground that the South Omaha union, being
much the larger organization, could afford
10 take care of its own and that the Omaha
organization could not be expected to pay
the expenses of out OF town contestants at
the expense of leaving its own work with
out representation. DuriRg the discussion
It was suggested that too much was ex-
pected of the local union I'm the way of
financial aid While It is perhaps better OF
a. In fhn
state the members feel that the local de-
mands are greater here than any place
else and that as their funds come from
Omaha they should be devoted to local de-
mands, at least in fair proportion.
Fifteen dollars a month was voted for
the maintenance of the temperance and in
dustrial classes at Tenth Street Mission,
the term extending from September to May
Miss Magee reported the opening Of the
temperance class with an attendance that
will necessitate the separation of the
children into three classes. Nearly half Of
the children in the mission this year are
new children. The sewing classes have an
attendance of fifty but Miss Magee has an
able corps of assistants who have volun-
teered from some of the churches. How
ever It will be necessary to restrict or
limit the attendance at the industrial
classes as there is not SUFFICIENT support
guaranteed to carry on the work for all.
Miss Magee expressed the request that the
mission children be organized In Loyal
Temperance Legion and asked the CO.
operation of the union.
Naturally clubwomen expect much from
| Denver, the home of the national president
and the metropolis of a state where women
have equal rights with men, but the in
genuity of the Denver club woman seems
to be of a particularly high order and the
fearlessness with which she launches an
innovation is a Joy to the progressive even
| though II does some times take the breath
| of the more conservative. The annual con-
