Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1910-07-19

a few lines from Mr.. Cotner's address:
Let me say, Mr.. Lewis and friends,
as one looks into the faces of this
magnificent audience, women Of
strength, women of intelligence that
to me typify the very best that exists
to-day in American womanhood-as
one looks into the future and thinks
of the great ideals that are going to
be brought about by this wonderful
organization-the chapter fOuses
located here and there, covering this
broad land of ours-chapter houses
which shall stand as beacons lights
for intelligence, improvement. and
advancement in the things that, af-
ter all, are better than money, the
keen satisfaction of life; when one
thinks of all that this will mean for
the men and the women, for the
boys and the girls, who is there here
to-day who will not say that this is
a more mementiouS occasion than
the founding Of that great political
party in 1894. the celebration OF
which under the oaks of Jackson.
Michigan, (where this great National
party was formed has been held in
recent days. At this celebration
our own President, William H. Taft,
and other men high in this great
party, were there to hear of the glo-
ry and achievement and to speak OF
the victories of other days. There
were men at this convention OF
which | speak who counted it a JOY
to have been present at that first
gathering Will we not at some flu
|
ture time speak with great pride.
and will not Mr.. Lewis feel great
pride, as we look back on this initial
and Informative occasion?
Then, addressing Mr.. Lewis per-
sonally, Mr.. Cotner spoke as follows;
You possess, sir, the love and
confidence of American Womanhood
as few men have done in a genera
ton. 1t is a priceless possession. No
man so, endowed can fail to realize
how heavy is the weight of respon-
sibilty resting upon your shoulders.
We who know you know that you
will ever be true to your trust"
This vast Convention cost over
$4,000 But Mr.. Lewis says, mo
money was ever better spent than
in this gathering of hundreds of
splendid, loyal, sincere women, rep
resenting still larger body of wo-
men,,
Well may we ask, Waht does this
great convention signify? In Mr..
Lewis words: 1T marks the birth OF
a new independence and opportuni-
ty for women. and marks her taking
the lead in placing this country at
the head of the nations of the world
in education, the arts. and better
opportunity for women, just as its
men have lead the world in industry,
commerce and money making. 1t
is new Declaration of Indepen-
dence."
The American Woman's League,
with its vast resources, its National
officers, its great national commit
tees, it's board of State Regents, and
the power and influence of hun
dred great journals behind it, will
have demonstrated the ability of
women to pull together" in way
that can be understood and will be
respected by men throughout the
world"

REPORT OF FIRST NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF TIE AMERICAN WOMAN'S LEAGUE.
MRS. c. C. STEVENS, LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE.

-
Continued from last Thursdays Enterprise)
Friday evening came the Fete
Champetre given by the employees
Of the Lewis Publishing Company
and the League. Young men and
young women dressed in picturesque
costumes came dancing along the a
venues, keeping perfect time to
strains of beautiful music. Several
floats were in the procession, the one
representing sculpture being espec-
tally fine. Aba1d of young men car
ried what purported to be large
piece of marble in the rough While
keeping perfect time to the music
they proceeded with hammer and
Chisel to carve and cut, until most
beautiful piece of statuary was pre-
sented to our view, representing a
mother and her children, the emblem
of the League. Another float rep
resented the firing of pottery in an
immense kiln. One by one, In per-
rNect time to the music; certain young
men and women each deposited a
vase or other piece of pottery in the
kiln, which was afterWard lighted IN
, some mysterious way, so as to repre-
sent the process Of firing pottery and
porcelain as carried on in the ceramic
department of the Art Institute. This
was a very beautiful scene. The
powerful searchlight from the top of
the Woman's Magazine Building was
thrown upon the work of the parade,
bringing it all out with great vivid
ness and striking effect. Beautiful
fireworks closed the festival.
On Saturday morning at Ii o'clock
occurred the business meeting of the
Convention. The election of the
= National officers of the League and
: of the Founders Chapter took place
without single contest. OF course
Mr.. E. G. Lewis was unanimously e.
lected first president of the Amer
lean Woman's League and also first
president of the Founders Chapter
permanent president of the latter.
All the reports of the various COM
mittees were adopted as reported, as
was the Final Plan. Under its terms
all revenues and property is held in
trust for all members, who are ben
eficiaries, and as such are newer Ii
, able, but must receive all benefits of
whatever is created and accomplish
ed. This Final Plan" will soon be
sent to each chapter for the approval
of each paid up member.
During the meeting on Saturday
morning, Ex-Governor Folk OF Mis-
souri, gave a fine address, from which
I have no time nor space to quote.
He was enthusiastically received and
paid high tribute to the League.
= One thing which think should be
emphasized particularly is the very
high appreciation of Mr.. Lewis by
those with whom he has been close
Nv associated, and notably so the pub
fishers of Class "a, whose endorse
ment could not we'll have been more
forcibly expressed. Those who heard
the speech of Mr.. Cotner, of the
American Boy" on behalf of the
publishers, on Saturday morning,
and also the carefully prepared adj
dress signed by all the publishers
present, surely felt that such high
enconimus by those in position to
know ought to set at rest for all time
the calunnies under which Mr.. Lewis
has suffered for years. Let me quote

since its establishment here in Au
gust, 1908. Sixty-five students were
enrolled at that time. Before the
close of the first year over 200 stu
dents had been enrolled and since
last September 3O4 pupils have enter
ed making the local business college
one of the largest in the northern
part of Iowa.
| The success of the institution is
due to the progressiveness of Mr.
Eklund, who has had long experience
In the preparation of students for a
business career. Feeling satisfied that
students who expected to earn their
living in the commercial world should
be made familiar first Of all with the
latest devices known, he equipped
the College of Commerce with every
modern assistant to the routine work
of an up-to-date office.
The latest standard typewriters
electric Burroughs adding machines
graphophone dictators, writer presses
monographs and the latest de51gn-
ed filing cabinets are at the dispos-
al of the students who enter to study
for commercial career. This spirit
OF the school shows in the incessant
demand made by business men for its
graduates. One large concern already
has a score of the schools graduates
working for it and no trouble is ever
experienced by the pupils in getting
positions.
Mr.. Eklund promised Waterloo a
thoroughly equipped institution when
he came to this city and as results
are always the best means of judging,
this city must return verdict in his
favor, for the school is turning out
expert commercial students that are
a credit to the community.
The catalog was made by Matt Par
rott & Sons Co. of this city and is an
excellent advertisement of their work.

MAKING fine RECORD
WATERLOO COLLEGE OF COM
MERGE, HAS FORGED AHEAD
SINCE START, IN CITY.
School Has Reputation of Being One
Of the most Progressive In North
ern Part Of Iowa.

True to the progressive spirit tint
has characterized the College OF
Commerce since its establishment in
Waterloo, the school is issuing a
catalogue that reveals the Waterloo
way in most excellent manner. Mr..
R. E. Eklund, president of the Col
lege of Commerce and the Oelwein
Business university, planned the cat
alogue along entirely different lines
than are usually followed by institu-
lions of that kind. The result is an
attractive school history containing
the element of human interest both
as regards the pupils and their work
and the ms tuition itself.
The college colors are used in the
cover design, old rose and gray max
ing beautiful combination bearing
in the initials w. G. G. and the let
ter B, embossed in a floral emblem
on the front. From cover to cover
the catalogue contains cuts Of stu
dents and sections of both the loca!
school and that OF the Oelwein insti'
tuition, besides reading matter per

dents.

Of tuberculosis.

So many people suffering with tn
bercalosis and hopeful of cure are ap
to he deceived by advertisements Of
remedies guaranteed to cure theil
nalady. 1t is fact that patients af.
flictel with tuberculosis are always
hhopeful Of recovery, and consequent
ly very easily deceived. 1T is fact
that many of the remedies advertised
to care coughs colds or cons,mp
ton. not only are valueless but are
positively harmful.
1t has been ascertained that many
o. tho SO ca"cd cures" for consump-
ton contain habit forming drugs,
such as morphine. opium and chloro.
form. None Of them will cure con-
sumption. There is TO sure cure
medicine for consumption known to
the medical fraternity today, and a
warning 10 all rsrscls suffering with
tuberculosis is uttered here.
There is another class of cures
which includes institutes, professors
or ro' .nanies OF doctors, who for
a consideration guarantee to cure
the consump,ivc by some secret
method Of which they are sole pro-
prietots. 1t is stated that there are
nearly One Hundred Fifty Of these In
the United States.
There is also another class Of
cures" IN which are placed home
remedies. which. either through ig-
norance or superstition, have been
advanced as treatments for this d.
sease. Some of these are lemons,
rattle snake poison, coal dust, lime
dust, pigs blood, dog oil, milk strip
pings and alcohol. There is no drug
or other material yet discovered
which when eaten, inhaled or injected
into the body, will kill the germs of
tuberculosis.
II you have consumption you should
observe the following rules. Consult
good physician at once, and re-
quest a thorough diagnosis, then do
absolutely what he tells you. Live
and sleep in the open air. Get as
much rest as possible. Stay in the
sunshine. Be cheerful. Eat an album
dance of good wholesome food. Don't
worry. Be sure to inform yourself so
that others will be protected against
your injection. Fight hard and you
wiz win.
