upon, before adoption, by all the
clubs of each State.
The only conditions of member
ship are:-
1. White parentage.
2. Payment of one dollar a year.
3. Pledge to work actively for re-
forms of all kinds,-domesti social.
civic, State and National.
Ladies are earnestly requested to
join these clubs, and to become &C
tive members. The influence of good
women in reform movements can not
be Over-estimated. This will natural
ly give the clubs a social life, which
can be made a power for good in
many communities.
Junior branches Of the clubs may
be formed Just as all boys and
girls are taught something of reli-
gion, SO they should be taught some
thing of that social life which we
call political.
One chief object of these clubs
will be education. AS soon as a club
is organized and has a home of it's
own, it should arrange to have a
reading-rOOm and library, try to get
up lectures and entertainments; and
make it's influence felt, not only po-
litically, but socially, by raising the
standard of thought, conversation
and living
Each member shall wear a button
or badge, the general design and
color of which shall be the same for
all, as an outward and visible sign of
the reform spirit.
Clubs will not be allowed to be-
come dormant. Each club shall, at
certain intervals, make a report of
it's work, which will be published in
the Jeffersonian. A Roll of Honor
will be printed
In order that there may be no con-
fusion in the organization of these
clubs, each person who wishes to get
up Jeffersonian Club in his or her
locality is requested to write to The
Jeffersonian, Thomson, Ca, for ad-
vice and instruction.

marriages where separations and
assertions often begin before they
are together more than few
MONTHS
Without doubt this article is the
most pOwerful-because written by
one who best understood it-yet
written on this subject It carries
conviction to Rthe reader, and will
have its effect in helping to improve
the sad condition it describes,
work in which many philanthropists
are engaged, and in which, as Mr..
Ulm states, much progress has been
made in recent years. Bearing in
mind that it is child labor which is
responsible for the unsatisfactory So
cial conditions portrayed, Mr.. Ulm
recommends, as the first necessary
steps to correct these evils:
Forbid the employment of chill
dren under fourteen years of age,
without exception; forbid the en-
ployment of children under fifteen
years, except during the vacation pc
ROD forbid the permanent employ
ment Of children under sixteen who
can not show a certificate Of compile
ton from standard grammar
school
In addition to the child regula-
tons, he suggests the following:
Separate the sexes as far as prac-
ticable. (This can be almost com
pletely done.)
Require the employment of women
foremen or second hands for their
own sex.
Make it crime to employ a mar
ried woman who is a prospective or
young mother.
Forbid the employment Of women
or children for night work.
Compel the companies to furnish
comfortable chairs or stools for the
use of the girls and women during
leisure moments, and adequate, pri-
vate and comfortably equipped dress
ing rooms.
Provide factory inspectors, some
of whom shall be women, to devote
their entire time to seeing that the
laws governing child and female la
Dor are enforced.-The Augusta
Herald.
