Dear Equity SlsterS:-
In response to your request for
plans and suggestions to help the
work of our Society, can only give
thoughts suggested by my own limit
ed experience.
In this practical age women. es-
pecially farmers wives, look for some
direct benefit from joining a society
which asks even small part OF their
time and money, SO much needed In
their homes. And we who haye look
cd into this matter believe that
Equity, rightly understood and APP
piled, would bring satisfying bene-
tit to its followers.
We have the privilege while our So
ciety is yet young, to engraft into it
much that will make il blessing in
Uplifting, cheering and Frightening
the lives of the noblest of our nations
women. the class who. more than any
other are the actual helpmeets of
their hus stands, the farmers wives.
We have before us large unculti-
waited field and our work seems to lie
not ia what to do but rather in how
TO begin. We are SO often tod that
farmers and their wives cannot be Dr.
gained into permanent union, and
vet no other class could form SO pow
erful a union il once organized and
successfully managed. Much can be
done here unions have been started
TO advance the society by members
being true to each other in every way.
Let outsiders see in our daily lives
those to whom we are joined in this
union are indeed our sisters, and
while we are kind as usual TO others.
we are just little nearer and dearer
to our Equity sisters in business
that come to each Of our homes let us
truly rejoice with those who do re-
juice and weep with those who weep.
Nor should sympathy alone be our
limit, but in the practical and tnan-
cial affairs let those to whom the Lord
has entrusted the five or SIX talents
help the sister to whom perhaps but
one has been given, and the result Of
such work, in bringing sunshine into
our home or life will be an advertise
ment for our society which will en-
dure through time and into eternity.
Let the public know we are on
earth through the press. Use every
opportunity to furnish our papers
with spicy, well written accounts of
the good things we are enjoying and
the benefits we are receiving through
equity. Let the outsiders feel that
they are missing great privileges, and
they will seek admission as members,
Never permit gossips or unkind
words or criticism In our unions.
This miserable habit does more to
bring discord into women's societies
and clubs than all other causes COM
bned. If a bright idea comes to us
let us in kindly way make it known.
IL may help and be used by our OFF,
GERS who may act upon it and value it
very highly. But il not, let US re-
member that this sister has been
elected to her position by popular
vote and is no doubt doing the very
best she can TO fill her position credi.
bly, and our duty is to Loyalty support
and assist her In every way in our
power, and let our criticism be of the
unspoken variety.
To my sisters, the board OF direct
ors l send greetings. l very much re-
greet that / cannot meet with you but
hope and look for a very successful
year through the fuller teachings,
principal and practice of equity.
Yours very truly,
MARTHA MYERS.

EXPLAINS SPEECH
 IN REGENT CASE
BOWMAN SAYS HIS OBJECT WAS TO pENOUNcE PLAN OF LURiNG CITIZENS INTO CRIME TO CATCH THEM.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In your article in reference to the trial of the case of the state vs. Abe Segel, YOU have very greatly distorted the lan- guage used by me.
 argued the testimony in the case, and my object was to denounce before the jury the plan of officials leading citi- zens into crime for the purpose of catch ipg them.
 As to the private character of those whom the evidence showed took part 1T, the execution of this plan, and, especially to the private character of Louis R. Dean, who seemed from the evidence to be more directly connected with the affair than others, I know nothing. For aught that I know he may have been acting under instructions from superior officers.
 | have always and I hope I always will continue to denounce official wrong, whether committed mistakenly or inten- tionally, but I never have, and never intend to denounce the private character of anyone about whose private character I know nothing. Truly,
