MRS. WINONA REEVES TELLS OF
USEFULNESS OF WOMEN IN ADDRESS

The state convention of the P. e. 0.
is in session at Ottumwa. Mrs. Win
cna Reeves Of this city, Is present.
She spoke before the convention yes
terday and the Ottumwa Courier con-
tanned the following concerning her
remarks
The great amount OF good that won,-
an can accomplish was treated in an
address this morning by Mrs. Winona
Reeves. Of keokuk, past supreme
president of the P. E. O. Mrs. Reeves
touched on the activity of the women
Of Keokuk in forming the civic league
there, and she pointed the way to her
hearers to bring credit to themselves
and their chapters by taking part in all
movements that look to the improve
ment OF mankind. Mrs. Reeves said
ir part:
1t is said that in order to interest
women in any sort of society or move.
ment there must be an ethical ques-
ton involved. Some women today are
interested In gaining the right OF suf
frage, not for the sake of holding Of
fee, but because they believe that
through it they can help the oppressed
and raise the moral tone of politics.
Men will ally themselves with move
ment for business. for pleasure, or for
any cause which appeals to them. But
with women there must be moral is
thnu M nj IN
lasting degree. This truth was recent
lily illustrated in the city in which we
/ live. Because of the building of the
/ Zig power dam the city is hoping for
great things in a business way and
the men thought it would help accom-
plish results if we had a Women's
Civic league to supplement the work
1 OF the mems industrial association.
i The civic league was advocated with
mild enthusiasm until finally the pro-
motors said, That to make city
more beautiful, make better citizens.
and that better citizens are better
men and a civic league could help to
CONSERVE the health and even the lives
iof the children On this moral ground
all the women walked up and joined.
1t is this truth that has helped p

OF the individual members to carry on
the work and to bring about in the
world, the beneiicient result which
such an organization ought to accom-
plish. We weep and wall because we
haven't money: because we haven't
this art or that accomplishment and
therefore we are handicapped AS a
matter of fact we all have the one
thing essential; We have life Money
takes wings; we forget books and
events, but we remember people. The
Point we should like to emphasize to-
day is that life is what counts and that
the measure of good one is able to do
In the world is not dependent upon
outward conditions Because this is
the Dickens Tooth anniversary year
all English speaking people have been
thinking about him. From some art
icle Or another got this thought
which bears directly on the thought We
wish to emphasize: Dickens was born
in home in which the children were
denied the gift of happiness We talk
about fortunate conditions as If good
fortune rested In ease and comfort.
The surroundings whatever they may
be which bring out the genius Of
man. are fortunate surroundings.
| IT fame and love and abiding In
fluence are to be reckoned among the
greatest gifts of life, then Dickens was
favored by fortune above all the chill
dren of his time The thought OF
Dickens and his work, doesn't bring
to your mind row Of books but
room full of people. Dickens created
people, not characters; they are queer
people, but all alive. II you will for
sake cab and ride on top of bus
through East London today, you can
see scores of Dickens men and won.
! en-
The lives of these common men and
women teach in his books their own
vital lesson Condition there doesn't
ever set limit to usefulness. Hav-
| ing only this life of ours with which
to accomplish good in the world we
must be able with this life to reach
all kinds of people. cant fancy a
woman being of much use in her com
munity if she knows only the people
in her own little set. There is of
course certain little circle to whom
we feel nearer than to the great CUB
| side world. We ought not limit our
acquaintances or even our friendship.
Our intimacies are limited of course,
but let the friendly interest be very
wide.
