From the State President.
We do not believe that Mrs. kellogg
OF Empor1a, chairman of the Civil Ser
wee REFORM committee. who is taking
trip through the Mediterranean with
her sister, Mrs. Guernsley of Indepen-
dence, would object to our quoting
from recent letter written ION board
s. S. Arabic:" I'VE are steaming up
towards Constantinople, having left
Athens yesterday afternoon. / have
wanted to write you several times but
1 never knew the hours to go by as
they do on ship board, and nobody
seems to be doing anything serious
either.
For the days we spent getting to
MADEIRA there is nothing to show ex-
cept an increased experience with
human nature. and since we left
Funchal we have been sight seeing
or taking little boat rides, for all our
landings have been made from little
boats. Fortunately it has been fine
weather with a smooth sea on land
ing days.
Referring to her department on the
program for the annual meeting to be
held at Hutchinson in May, Mrs. KEEL
logg writes: 81 have done the best
! could On the time I had and shall be
home in time for the final arrange
ments before the meeting, though per-
haps not before the programs must
go to the printer.
I'VE are having a most glorious
time. Most cordially yours,
AZ. M. KELLOGG
Kansas club women will give Mrs.
Kellogg the heartiest welcome upon
her return to her beloved state and
d
talk the comparative value of
citizenship in other lands an appre-
ciative audience will attend her.
Mrs. Samuel Yaggy of Syracuse,
president of the Seventh District Fed
Grafton, reports that the Women's
club of Haven has Joined the Fed
Grafton. 1t is a club of twenty-five
members and they are studying Ro-
man history this year. That they will
prove a happy and valued acquisition
there is no doubt.
The Woman's club of Logan had a
t'tag day. March 10th, for the bene-
fit Of the tuberculosis fund-the re-
suit of which was $3.50 sent to DIR.
C. B. Van Horn of Topeka, secretary
of the state association. There is no
mistake in appealing to the club wo-
men of Kansas and we believe we can
say of America-on a vital or humani-
tartan issue. Intelligence and unset
fishness are mighty when combined, as
they are in the usual club woman.
We make this statement despite the
report of troubles in club in the
east, being recently taken to court for
adjustment; this being only a case
where the exception proves the rule.
We are growing out of the personal
to see the good of the organization.
One bitter personal fight in an organi-
cation will do more harm than the
election of any individual member to
office, especially since a candidate may
be presented to the convention by the
clubs Through their district presi-
dent) and nominated by informal bal
lot instead of any individual nominal
ing from the floor.
