A PERTINENT
QUESTION
FARMERS MUST KEEP UP ROADS,"
"POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT MAKES
RULING AFFECTING RURAL
DELIVERY

These headlines appeared in the
Chicago Inter Ocean July "a. 1t is per.
tinent to ask why the farmers must
keep up the roads. The roads are
public property-they belong to all,
are used by all and all are benefited
by them. The sender of a letter to a
farmer served by rural delivery may
be just as much interested in it's de-
livery as the one who receives it.

ones benefited. The country mer.

only successful way to get good roads

of cocaine or offering them for sale.
This depriyes our citizens of the right
to establish among boys and young
men drug habit that more rapidly
than any other, undermines the
moral life. Last year a tenement
house law was passed, depriying citi-
zens of Boston of the right to erect
houses OF sort, certain to kill a con
siderable percentage OF those who
live in them. Massachusetts has also
been prominent in passing laws re-
straining women and children from
being worked long hours or at night.
These are restraints on liberty, and
they are typical OF such. The ques-
ton is, Do they, in the net result,
diminish freedom or enlarge it! Does
possession of health and strength
compensate for the loss Of the liberty
to work at night, or more than ten
hours in the twenty four during
childhood? Those who think we
suffer from too many laws should
specify which law they themselves
are suffering from at present. Where
do you feel it now, sir? Is it the
tenement house law or the restriction
On the manufacture of cocaine? They
are constantly saying, Why resort to
legislation? Well, why should we
not resort to it? what is pie for?"
Whose legislation is it, and for what
purpose was it made? Why do you
resort to running when bull chases
you? 1t is as natural to avoid the
tuberculosis microbe by the use of
your legislature, as to escape from a
bull Dy the use of your legs, and as
legitimate.

genius, peace and repose seem to
have fled with the beautiful old New
days Of the dear cold South? Why
Is it that all these things intended to
simplify seem only to complicate
life3 Please understand that in ask
ing this question l am not decrying
the complexities Of modern life, nor
signing for the simplicity OF the
stagetoach and the town pump rather
thallthe railroad and the water sup
ply. EAll life advances from the SIM
pie to the complex. A man is a more
complex and higher form Of organism
than a fish, society is a more complex
and higher form OF organism than a
physical man. The trouble lies not
in the complexities, but in us. What
we need is not to do away with the
complexities, but TO master them,
not to return to the simpler forms of
social and economic life, but to meet
the higher, more complex forms of
with distinct ideals and well-defined
standards in which the spirit Of
simplicity is dominant.
In operating the house plant, the
division of the income, the question
of domestic service,-in all these
matters and methods the spirit of
simplicity will define our standards
and lead us to outline system, and
system will help us to attain simplici-
ty. And, if over all and through all
there be felt poise in the executive
officer of this home, we may be sure
Of OH rideal. Simplicity, system and
poise will surely operate to elevate
the whole atmosphere and quality Of
the home. They will bring about re-
pose, without which the individual
home has no excuse for existence;
beauty, which educates and inspires;
and that sacred flame of joy which
throws a dazzling light over life.'

JULIA WARD HOWE.

No woman in our own day has re-
ceived in fuller measure the love and
loyalty of her own sex than Mrs
Julia Ward Howe. For years she has
reigned as queen in the hearts of
American women. Why is 1t that,
when she enters room, other
women rise instantly in recognition
OF her presence? 1t matters not
whether 1t is little group in a
parlor, or an audience of three
thousand in Symphony Hall. No
signal Is given, no word is spoken, it
is simply an instructive, spontaneous
tribute. 1t is not merely because of
her genius, however great that may
be, that she receives this homage.
1t is not because she stirred the
heart of the nation with her Battle
Hymn" 1t Is not because she has
lived eighty-nine years in the world.
These years have been very full and
of great value to the world. Yet 1t
is not alone for what she has done
that Mrs. Howe is SO beloved, but for
what she is. 1t is for her person
atty. 1t Is for the courage which
enables her to espouse many an UNI
popular cause; the enthusiasm and
faith which have led her to further
every movement for the advancement
of women; the broad sympathies
which have caused her to give herself
so generously in many directions; the
sincerity the nobility, which are
seen in every line of her countenance
and felt in every word she utters.

head; to prevent the children not
our own, being deprived of their
birth-right OF natural childhood; to
obtain right conditions and proper
safeguards for the women who toll.
We have come together to learn
how we may work most effectively
toward those ends. You represent
half a million OF earnest, thoughtful
women who believe, with one of our
statesmen, That the best OF lie is
the JOY Of service. Remembering all
these things, we realize that there is
a selfish side to our welcome, for we
know that your coming will be to us
a source of strength, an inspiration
for years to come. With the thought
OF all these great causes, we thank
you for conEng, and in the name of
the Massachusetts, State Federation |
bid you welcome.

THE NINTH b.
ENNIAL CONVENTION
Greeting of the Massachusetts State
Federation.

Nearly three hundred years ago,
when the Pilgrims were founding the
tiny colony which was to be the nu-
cleus of the State of Massachusetts,, a
solitary Indian appeared in their
midst, and greeted them with the one
word of English which he had
learned, the word Welcome. y
Whatever may be the English at our
command, this one word of the In
dian Samoset is the word that ex-
presses our feeling tonight, the
word that we have carried in our
hearts for the last two years, ever
since we have known of your coming.
During all these months of prepara-
ton we have looked forward to the
hour when we could utter it. For

There is still delay in copy reach
ing the desk for the state federation

titled. 1t will be quite opportune,
however, to have Bulletin number
first as Mrs. Decker made special
request that we use as much matter
from the national federation official
organ as possible.

PINEAPPLE AND MILK.

The up-to-date housewife has long
since learned the value of the various
rennet preparations now on the mar
ket under the various trade names of
"Junket," "Rennen," ETC., by which
sweet milk may be curded to form a
palatable dessert with a minimum of
trouble and expense.
One of the most delicious and dain-
ty dishes may 'be prepared for an
emergency as follows: Prepare the
milk pudding with the junket in the
ordinary way and pour it into indi-
vidual dishes in which it will be serv-
ell. When it has "set," place it in
the ice chest until time to serve. In
the meantime open a can of good slic-
ed pineapples and when about to send
to the table pour over the preparation
a portion of the juice and place
divided slice of the fruit with each
portion. The result is dessert that
is most delicious and will appeal to
the most fastidious taste. Pineapple
and sweet milk almost always form a
good combination, a digestive prin-
ciple in the fruit acting on the milk
in a most pleasing manner.

WHAT IS TRUE PATRIOTISM?

BY Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Main.
What is true patriotism but study
ing and working for the best inter-
ests of all the people of our country?
Patriotism in it's rudimentary form
was an instructive impulse to protect
the family. From that it grew to be
Ia willingness to fight for and to
maintain inviolate the special gov
eminent under which one lived. But
in this twentieth century the word
has taken on a broader meaning; and
every movement that stands for the
betterment of mankind may well be
called true patriotism.
Among the objects named in the
Constitution of the Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton are these: ito cherish, main
tain, and extend the institutions of
American freedom, to foster true
patriotism and love of country, and
to aid in securing for mankind all
the blessings of liberty"
While this society of $4,000 mem
bers is much smaller body than our
Federation with it's 100000 club
women, it is, nevertheless, a strong
factor for help, if we could combine
forces and work along the same lines,
and see no good reason why we
should not do so. We have an or
ganization, called the Children of
the Republic" for the special pur-
pose of teaching the children of our
immigrants the meaning of citizen
ship in our country; and the interest
which they manifest in their eager
ness to learn is remarkable.
Now, while we are teaching these
boys the meaning of liberty and how
to become law-abiding citizens, shall
We neglect to properly care for and
seek to reform those who, just on ac-
count OF this late awakening on our
part, have gone wrong, mistaking
liberty for license, and, as result,
are filling our jails and warehouses;?
1t devolves upon the women of this
nation, and especially the club
women, to help by their influence to
place in our municipal offices men of
high ideals and unquestioned integ-
rity. We should see that civil serv-
ice examination for official places is
insisted upon; and any dereliction of
duty should be brought at once to the
public view, that such men be re-
moved and others more deserving be
put in their places. This is true pa
triotism and sacred duty.

A MESSAGE TO THE FEDERATION
BY Mrs. Julia Ward Howe.

By Mrs. Julla ward MOVE.
esteem myself happy in being
commissioned to say a few words Of
welcome to this peaceful army which
marches under the flag of good will
and charity to all mankind. Its bat
talions will array themselves only
against the evils which always
threaten society, and which too often
deVastate it, lesa
Our Boston has seen many novel
and strange sights; but what spec
tacle has she seen more novel than
this? An army OF women from all
parts of a broad continent, armed
only with justice and with patience,
intent only upon promoting the pub
lie welfare, the common good.
We still are children in a.school,
engineering problems of human des-
tiny, and we make and shall make
many mistakes; but what new van
fairgrounds have we gained? Let
us begin our work from the true
starting point Of fifty years ago.
We have had great gains in edu-
cation, great gains in social status.
We have acquired the right of inde-
pendent thought. We are dealt with
now as if each of us had her 1ndi-
vidual conscience to regulate her
life's work, and not merely rule of
external import, borrowed from a
foreign source. This conscience
gives US standard by which to
judge our objects and our efforts.
The wonder is that our consciences,
in dealing with any capital problem,
are sure to agree.
With all our diversities of circum-
stances and of temperament, we are
brought together here by one desire
by one impulse, the desire to do
what we can to further the best in
terests of society. Surely, the har-
mony Of intention which has brought
us together will still avail to keep us
in sight of all that so high an agre-
ment should aim at,
| Wills take time briefly to state
two points which, in my view, it will
be most important to keep in mind.
One of them is the advantage which
we should gain from the diversity of
our gifts and talents; the other is
the unity of spirit and endeavor with
which we should make this diversity
helpful to the objects we have in
view.
We may hope, through this large
coming together, to attain a more
extended sense of nationality, for,
though we are of all Cities, States
and Territories, yet, when we say
"Our Country" we do not mean any
single city, large or small We mean
one broad continent in which, fortu-
nately, Tree institutions prevail, and
no tyranny of Church or State has
leave to work for their overthrow.
Let my message to you be this.---
Start from the present.
Follow the straight way.
Hope for every good thing.
Trust no easy-going methods.
And may God keep your hearts.

LAW AND LIBERTY.
By Joseph Lee,

Dy OOScpIl LCC,
Vice-President of Massachusetts
Civic League.
1t is a common belief that we are
suffering from paternalism; that is
to say, from too long and too fire.
quent sessions of our legislatures
and from the enactment of too many
laws. This belief is in my opinion
wholly unjustified. Progress is to be
sought, not in the less frequent ex-
ercise of the public will or in the
Sitting of its organ, but in its fuller
and more adequate expression. The
constant assumption of the opponents
of legislation is that law is in it's ma
ture opposed to liberty. The general
proposition, indeed, is too absurd for
serious discussion. No one but a
crazed anarchist would now maintain
that liberty has been curtailed by the
protection of life and health and
property, by the provision of roads
and schools and Libraries, by humane
care of the poor and the defective.
1t is new legislation that is attacked,
on the same principle, doubtless, that
a statesman was defined by Tom
Reed as a politician who is dead.
How far, then, has recent legisla-
ton curtailed our liberty? If you
will look through the latest volume
of the Massachusetts statutes, you
will find that a considerable majority
of the laws are either appropriation
bills or permissive statutes allowing
towns and corporations to do things
they could not otherwise have done.
OF the remainder, by far the greater
part consists not in prohibitions, but
in provisions for the performance of
new service by the State itself.
Typical instances are the establish
ment of medical inspection in the
public schools, the laws providing
for the carrying on of Fairgrounds,
and this years Massachusetts legisla-
ton establishing probation COM
mission and providing for additional
probation officers for children. Have
these bills deprived any one of lib
erty? Is a child who has been sent
to school for years, but who has
never seen book, seriously enslaved
by having his eyes examined and
pair of spectacles prescribed? Is the
liberty OF the children of Boston ac-
tually endangered by our having
Fairgrounds carried on? Is the re-
of our probation sys-
.em, so that children can be saved
rom crime without sending them to
prison, grave infringement of lib
srty? These are characteristic ex-
amples of the law that is being en-
acted In our legislatures today.
Current legislation is more like the
of roads than the putting up
VI walls, just as it is the bridges
md roads and aqueducts that still
estify to the service of the Roman
empire, and that form the just coun
erpart of the great civil law which it
'equeathed as perhaps the greatest
influence in liberating the forces of
utilization in the Western world.
Our laws do, 1t is true, include
ONE prohibitions. There was a law,
or instance, passed this year forbid
ing the manufacture of compounds

These are the secrets of her power.
One characteristic of Mrs. Howe is
her sane hopefulness, chr confidence
in the future, her belief in human
nature. This belief has taken the
form OF a vision which is given in
her own words, 1t is the vision OF
woman in her ninetieth year, who,
instead OF barking back to the good
old days Of the past, is always look
ing forward TO the dawn of new
era, in which right shall triumph:

Tested during the previous session, but
the volume OF trade was again on a lib

The fact that the European grain mar

to Germany caused comment. Total en-
port business for the day was estimated
at sixty boatloads. Several reports were
