From the State President.

From the state President.
If that illustrious Kansan, John ].
ingalls,, still lived no doubt the recent
election of officers for the d. A. X.
would cause him to declare that the
publication of politics (even woman's
'politicsi) is still an iridescent dream,
that the Golden Rule and the Deca-
logue have no place in political cam
paigns. We can hear him saying:
at was as the world goes. legitimate
warfare; but it was an illustration of
the truth that there ought to be purl-
flcation in our politics, and that the
Golden Rule and Decalogue ought to
have a place in political campaigns.
DO unto others as We would that 9TH
ers should do unto YOU is the SUI
preme injunction, obligatory upon all.
That the approaching election in
the State Federation may prove
"good natured contest between fine
women" is the hope of all of the re-
firing officers, for we believe IT pos
sible for the sane, normal womanhood
of our beloved state to stamp its char
acter upon a club convention to the
honor and dignity of all.
Then here's to the vote that shall be
cast with malice toward none, and
charity for ALL" that shall prove a
realization of the sisterhood of women
that federation and friendship are
compatible terms.
To Kansas club women: The retir-
ing state president, Mrs. Eustace H.
Brown, will not be candidate for any
office at the coming election; having
given two years of service to the state
federation, as president, in addition to
two as recording secretary, she knows
that among the many lovely, capable
clubwomen of Kansas a new set of
officers can easily be found who will
bring energy. experience and efficiency
to the promotion of federation work.
Kindness. courtesy and affection are
Kansas traits-gratitude and good will
the only possible individual response.
With fullest measure of these, 1 am
your retiring president.
