Women's Conventions Are Tame.

Every year when the Daughters of the
American Revolution gather to transact
their annual business the same old sto-
ries are heard about the differences and
contentious that arise in the ranks of
this famous organization. The contest
for president-general. contests for other
offices, contests over this. that or the
other thing, are exploited to a great eX-
tent. In fact, it is pointed out with no
small degree of derisiOn that these wOm-
ell. cannot get together and in n mild and
gentle manner transact their business
without pulling hair" calling names,
and otherwise conducting themselves in
an unseemly manner. 1t seems to APP
pear strange to quite a number of writ
ers that these ID. 4. X. women should
not have q serene and peaceful conyen-
ton, and that it should not be free from
jealousieS and differences of opinion and
that it should not be as peaceful as a
June day.
To one who has attended conventions,
national and state, for a score of years,
and these conventions composed of men
exclusively, the contests in the d. A. r.
and other women's organizations are
comparatively trivial and tame. A po-
litical convention brings out as many
bitter contests, creates as many enmi-
ties. and, as for calling names and eX-
convention of men would 50 far outrun
any convention of women as to make
the two beyond comparison. The con-
test over a political platform causes
more anxiety and shows greater differ
ences of opinion than ever existed in
any convention of women. Men fight
all night over the wording of different
planks in the platforms.
When there is a real contest over a
non,in O tion fhn differences bptwppD thp
factions supporting one or another can
didate become so intense that it would
seem impossible for men ever to speak
with each other again. Even in Con
gress the differences, not only between
parties, but between men of the same
party, become much more intense than
any that are shown in the conventions
of the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. the Woman's Relief corps or
other organizations of women in the
United States.-Arthur Dunn Wallace.

Heroines of the Confederacy.

Yet it is not the good and fair Queen
of Italy who has best illustrated hero
ism in the last half century The palm
OF this should he given to the women of
the south for their courage. their endur
ance, their self-Sacrificing helpfulnesS
during the Civil war. Our northern
brothers are recognizing this now as
never before. The Philadelphia Ledger.
in reviewing Miss Z. f. Andrews
uniquely interesting book, Wartime
journal of a Georgia Girl" takes occa-
sion to say: History has few more
splendid chapters than that which tells
OF the heroic suffering and endurance of
southern women in the Civil war. Mar
Vicious indeed was the courage with
which they faced the trials of those
days-their unfaltering devotion and the
undated cheerfulness with which they
chung to their beautiful traditions of
courtesy and unquestioning hospitality
though they had almost nothing to eat
and were never sure of keeping Il roof
over their heads"
An editorial writer in the New York
Tribune applauds the efforts being made
i'll the south to erect a monument to
the women of the COnfederacy, and says:
1t is fitting that future generations
should have a visible reminder of the
self-Sacrifice and heroic work done by the
southern women during those four dark
years, not to inspiring martial music and
| the excitement of a battlefield, but on
deserted plantations III the midst of al
most incOnceivable hardships. Many of
these women, after their homes were
burned or pre-empted and their crops
destroyed, devoted themselves to nursing
their own wounded and also the suffering
men in blue"
An instance of "the unquestioning hos
pitality even when half starving" spoken
of by The Ledger, is afforded by an ex-
perience of Miss Mary Gay, author of
Life in Dixie During the War" Her
mothers home, in Decatur, Ga, had been
taken as headquarters by cavalry regi-
ment, and her servants and provisions
cOnhscated. When the soldiers went
| away there was nothing eatable left,
save the grains of corn scattered on the
ground where they had fed their horses.
These grains the ladies-reared in lux
| ury-picked from the ground, and also
out of the cracks of the drawers of their
mahogany bureaus which the soldiers
had used as feeding troughs. They
crushed the corn into hOminy and cooked
it, and gave a portion to sick federal
soldier who had been left behind and
whom they nursed until he was we'll

At any rate, he finally succeeded in
dragging the old man TO the phone, and
making him call up Warwick, but the

disappearance of the paper from the
