Gov. Cutler said In part; II am
greatly pleased to welcome the visiting
officers OF this organization ~ the State
OF Utah and to the city OF Salt Lake
II Is always presumed that organizQ-
lions among men and women should
have as their purpose The bettci1nent OF
humanity. 1t is the only basis OH
which they can long endure, the only
basis on which they can make sue
uessfu appeal TO the people Titan eX-
tends a hearty welcome TO all helpful,
henehconL associations. III they are all
pure In purpose and beneficial In oper-
alton, these oIg8ni2at ions will do good

and purposes OF the society represented
here today, ! assume that II must come
under the above heading, OF II WOULD
not appeal to- SO many Intelligent wo-
men, and hold their allegiance, Among
the views regarding the connection OF
women with these societies, incline 10

the first allegiance OF women should 20
given to their home He, bat TO mlngie

fellow women in "a public capacity, and
gains courage and strength which come
from Il change OF scene and attnos-
phere, And these organizations may
thus become a means 10 help women in
their home work, and also a means Of
ameiorating the condition of men, wo-
men and children in the community at
large
