Evening Session.

The evening session was given 10 a
musical programme furnished by DE-
den talent and review Of owe i've! SGnr'eh, ,l en-
Rev. J. E. Carver pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church of Ogden.
The musical programme was an ar
tistic success and gave evidence of the
high class Of Ogden musicians. The pro-
gramme was furnished by Miss Martlla
Hunter, Mrs. w. G.. Dalrynple. Miss Lila
Jost and Miss Rosalie Holberg.
Miss Jost has recently returned from
studying in Germany and her already
weIl-cultivated voice showed the good
results OF training under European mas
tors II was her first public appearance
since her return.
In his review Of Women and Labor,
Rev. Carver gave an extended and ais
toric synopsis OF tho contents of the book
and urges upon the writer pleas for
the training which fits for labor and the
labor which fits the women TO become the
strong mothers the race needs Women
ask for this not for themselves. but for
the race The curse OF the present day
is defined as sex porosiilsm or thai de-
pendent state IN which women depend for
their support upon the economic blessings
In the commencement Of the race
women had most Of the labor. Three
fourths OF this has been taken by men
and the remaining Is shrinking. The al
vance has been an advance OF men
work rather than OF women Much Of
the homework. most of the textil" labor
rics. and all TN" field work has been taken
hY men. For men il is a problem TO Sc
cure work or die With women II is
problem 10 secure work or sink into sex
porositism.
But II it be said that only part OF
labor should be reserved for women and
not all labor be their province. the an
sWer is men would not respect such linn
itattons and that women can do any work
men can. Taking war as an extreme
case. Mrs. Schreiner says women suffer
and bear most In war. not only IN the
added burdens OF the duties caused by
death IN battle but because each one 50
slain represents labor palm and long years
Of care by some mother II is the con-
tention OF the author that tne sexes arc
equal in power Most Of the more com
mon arguments against this arc taken up
and answered.
Now II seems that the writer would
make her point clearer II she would ask
for an equal share OF labor and not an
Identical share OF II.
!; seems also as II she has overlooked
entirely the great and remuncrative ave-
nues opened 10 woman'5 toll today which

ton, an equal Right with man IN all po-
