CIOu buc ldCU UI1dU Mrs. joseph
Cohen came here with Senator Du-
bois and wife, and was working In
the interest of the democratic ticket
during the last campaign it was
taken for granted by many of the
ladies OF the town that the Mothers
Club was merely an auxiliary of
the democratic party. Such is not
the case, however. 1t is woman
organization that is non -sectarian
and non-political. In becoming mem
berS of the club 1t is necessary to
take pledge that each member will
be on the right side of all moral
questions which will benefit the
home. In the past campaign the
club took the position that the Nor
mon question was an issue in the
state, and that the duty of the or.
ganization was to take the anti-Mor-
mon side.
~
In most of the towns of the state
clubs were organized, the members
obiiging themselves to take the right
side of moral questions In politics,
regardless OF which party advocated
these reforms. So far as the effective
work OF the club Is concerned, 1t
would have been much b,tter II the
organizations had been perfected at
most any other time than during
political campaign. At present there
are but one or two members In this
town, who under ordinary conditions
do not vote the democratic ticket.
No doubt this will be different when
the objects OF the club Is better I'M
derstood.
The last meeting occurred at the
pleasant home of Mrs. SPAIN Tues
day of last week. The future work
of the club was outlined; and we are
told that politics did not enter into
the conversation during the meeting.
The next meeting will be held the
first Tuesday of next month at the
home of Mrs. McCaleb, In Brooklyn.
While no plans were adopted as to
the future work OF the club, yet
these matters we're talked over. |
Their plans for the future are in
rather an embyro state, yet they
purpose starting a reading room, In
which the different periodicals, news.
papers and books can be found for
The entertainment and amusement OF
The men and boys Of the city. This
In itself is noble work; and we
make the prediction that these plans
will be carried out. When 1t comes

kind a half dozen earnest women
will accomplish more In an hour than
, whole regiment Of men In month.
