Susan b. Anthony.
First In her strong personality
for womanhood and willingness to
suffer wrong for others.
Individuality emphasized many
times over was written from the
crown of her head to the sole of her
foot. Her strong will and large per-
ceptive faculties enabled her to rise
above self and selfish considerations

The National Civic Service Re-
form league has asked the assistance
of the club women of the country
in defeating the obnoxious provis-
ions of the Crumpacker census bill
now before congress, which provides
for the taking of the thirteenth
census. In this bill the offices, with
the exception of the assistant direc-
tor, are to be appointed by the d.
rector of the census without exami
nation. Idaho club women are
earnestly asked to write their sena-
tors and congressman 10 oppose the
bill as it now stands.
The work of civil service has been
taken up with much zeal by Idaho
club women and an opportunity is
now presented to assist in national
work. Take the matter up at your
next club meeting, draw up resolu-
tions and forward them to our repre-
sentatives at Washington at once.
If enacted into law, the provisions
will accomplish the complete Bpoila-
ton of the census Office, andk make
for the inaccuracy of the coming
census. Statesman.

wrote, and which will be found else
where in these columns.
