WOMEN OF THE HOUR.
Lulu Nj. HoIley.

At the opening OF the days work
in the Illinois State Legislature on
April 21, 1909, one of the senators
said, "Give us live bill And they
were given live bill. 1t has been
called by some "The Girls Bill" and
it provided for the limitation of the
house of labor of women in factories
to eight in one day. 1t was live be-
cause it concerned the most import
ant issue before Congresses and Leg
islatures-the question whether con-
ditions in labor shall be determined
by the demands of trade or by the
demands of the human organism; it
was live because it was to be the
means of putting the members of the
| legislature of Illinois on record for or
against the legality of restricting the
hours of women's labor; 1t was live
because it. was the first bill ever in
troduced into state legislature by
a woman's union, having been franz
ed by the Mattresses Union of Chi
cago; it was live because there were
present to oppose it $50 manufac-
! Jurors and to support it eleven wo.
men, all but two Of whom were rep
resentatives Of trade organizations
After the bill had been introduced
and information was called for, the
girls were there to give facts about
conditions in their own trades, not
facts that they had CLEANED from
books, but facts they had experienc-
ed in their lives. Among the girls
was Lulu NJ Holley of the Laundry
| Workers At a critical moment she
presented calculation which she
had made about the number of thou
sands of times she was Obliged tc
tread the ironing machine in order
to iron five hundred shirts-her stunt
for day.
When La Follette's wrote to Miss
Holley asking her for her events in
| her life which led up to her appear
ance before the legislature and hel
active support of the eight-hour bill
she replied in a letter so full of hui
man interest that it is reproduced

PROPER ENVIRONMENT
FOR THE CHILDREN
Mrs. Hans j. Roam.

Mrs. Hans j. Roam.
president Columbian club for the
year 190S-1909.)
yOf the many needs of our city two
appear to us as Of vital Importance
proper environment, physical and
moral for our children. This is not
an age when the influences shaping
the future life of the child lie so
largely in the home as In the past
carnations. The yard fences are gone
and the child is given license to roam
at will more inquisitive than ever be-
fore. We may deplore this state OF
things, but that does not change 1t,
we simply must adjust conditions to
meet it.
The unconscious purity of heart
and regularity of life that comes to
a child from the identifying Of the
city is unlimited. Why bewail our
lack of system Of public parks: they
must come in time. Light now, every
block in town can be made thing of
simple beauty, radiating healthful
influence on the character of every
citizen. Let leach one build over
against his own house." Neglect not
the back yard fences. Vines and easy
growing perennials and shrubbery
will make unsightly alleys vistas of
green loneliness. Untold good can be
done our children by abolishing the
unsightly bill board from our city.
The moral influence is of still
more definite Importance. No mer-
chant plans for today's business
alone, his eve is on the future also.
He has thought for the investment
of influence. Why should city be
less forethoughtful? What is our
best investment in influence? A
unanimous reply is noble, well de-
veloped body Of citizens, In coming
decades how shall parks and banks

CITIZENSHIP, BROAD
MINDED, BIG HEARTED


Mrs. Jane Re011elu hoover.
president of the College Women S
Club.)
Like all growing things young cit
les, however fair, reach the awkward
age. Boise has grown fast; her gar
ments require alterations, for ma
turity implies dignity, and the put
ting away of childish things. The
city has outgrown the petty ways of
village life.
Is park proposed in one section
of town, all sections have reason for
rejoicing; for narrowness and selfish
ness are incompatible with beauti-
full, well-ordered city. Such a mar
row spirit did not make the parking
systems of Detroit, Minneapolis and
other cities we desire to emulate.
Conceit and self-sufficiency are the
bane of youth and age alike. Heaven
defend us from complacency that
would sit inert, hands idly folded, re-
peating parrot-wise Boise the Beau
tiful," when we know Boise is as yet
beautiful only In spots!
Extreme partisanship is another
youthful fault American ida
hoan, Z "Boiseite are they not more
significant than the words Republi-
can or Democrat; Statesman or Cap
ital News?
We desire the best Of municipal
administration. Civic duty demands
the election Of the best men to office
Failure in this confers no warrant
to vent our disappointment on any in
dividual official, though we do well
to remember the lesson. Once in Of
flee our public men are entitled to
our loyal support unless legally prov
en- unworthy of their office. The
\ abusive personal attacks of party pol
itios and of a partisan press, by de-
terring many of our ablest men from
entering public service retard meal
culably our highest civic growth.
When rightly used, no civic force
is deeper or more far-reaching than
the power of journalism. Once there
were two boys who quarreled con-
stantly, though they were brothers.
At home or in school 1t was the same.
Any statement, however well anthem
ticated, made by the one, met with
flat contradiction from the other. till
no one knew which to believe, and
both lost in credibility. Finally their
old school master lost patience, and
as he lightly knocked their heads to-
gether for emphasis, he thus voiced
his pent-up wrath. "Cut out this
fighting, boys. Have We forgot We
are brothers? How did your quar-
rels start, anyhow"
The boys looked blank. II thought
so! It's got be habit with We!
Well, all We need remember is that
We are kinfolk, and you're reciting
from the same history"
Citizenship broad minded, big
hearted, sane and loyal. Achieving
this we shall gain all the rest.

GREETINGS
(From State Year Book.)

/ To carry on the great work so
| wisely begun is indeed Kingdom
of enlarged opportunities"
/ 1t has been wisely said that presi-
dent should have no policy, and this
administration hopes only to aid in
| the development of your plans and
| wishes.
To conduct them to their highest
4 success 1t Is first necessary to fit the
! right woman to the right place.
Each appointment has been we'll
considered, but If our work Is to
measure UP to our hopes it will be
because the individual club woman
so DEGREES 1t.
Negative women count for naught
in any scheme, and we get out Of
anything just what we put in.
In the evolution Of the race when
"men are beginning to expect of wo-
men what in past ages they expected
only OF each other" our responsible
ties and correspondingly our privil-
eyes for work are vastly increased. 1t
is my firm belief that were all the
club women of Idaho to unite unre-
servedly in pushing any reasonable
measure-and 1t must be reasonable
to be SO endorsed nothing could de-
feat them.
And so I come to the text Of my
sermon-the keynote of my discourse
concentration of energies.
Very wisely, in the past the State
Federation has advocated but few
measures. 1t will be remembered
that the General Federation only
worked for two measres between the
st. Paul and Boston biennials. The
congressional investigations into the
condition of working women and chill
dren and Free Art.
What do we most want?
We will secure the passage of a
Civil Cervice Reform bill when we
determine to have it and not before.
Do we wish Industrial Education and
Art Education promoted?
All these and more our able COM
mittees are waiting to consider. If 1t
is your pleasure.
What shall it be?
{. The Loan Scholarship Fund is
growing, as the necessity enlarges
and Is doing incalculable good.
The Historical Committee has a
Herculean task and of much Of their
labors 1t may truly be said, what
thou doest, do quickly" for the pio-
neers are fast passing. We know
they will be equal to the demand.
A field almost without bounds
awaits the Club Extension Commit
tee and we fell assured it will be
no fault Of theirs If we are not 1000
strong at thx next biennial.
l wish | might conclude without
any apology. but for the usual rea-
sons there is the usual delay in issu-
ing the Year Book. ! know of no
way to redeem the past save by a
proper use OF the future and on that
we implicitly rely.
