FEDERATED WOMAN'S POWER

1t is quite within the bounds OF
truth to say that the women OF
Delaware, through their F'ede-
rated Clubs, seventeen OF whom
last week held their annual meet
ing in Middletown, can doa work
of great and wide public useful
ness second to that of no other
organization, lay or cleric, in
this state. And would that the
Women of the Federation of
Delaware Clubs might realize to
the full this their high privilege
of public service and resolve to
dedicate themselves yet more
heartily to its noble offices!
They are already entering
many altruistic fields neater,
cleaner and more hygienic town
and city conditions; pure water
and an improved sanitation in the
public schools; public libraries;
an improved household cuisine
and the banishment of that filthy
purveyor of disease, the fly, that
society permits bred, year after
year, in its midst.
These and other like reforms
and betterments in their various
communities, are engaging the
earnest attention of these women
clubs and their accom- plishmenl
will prove a great blessing to the
commonwealth.
But if THE TRANSCRIPT n ight
also be allowed to play the role
Of censor of public morals, and
suggest a theme To this superb
body of earnest, intelligent reform
ers, it would praythat every one
Of them might set her face like
flint against the great and grow
ing evils of luxury and fashion.
For disguise it as we may, this
age of ours is fast forgetting the
simpler, saner tastes and modes
of life of our ancestors, and more
and more madly indulging in the
extravagances of fashion and
show. Plain, simple living with.
in ones means, is almost becom'
ing reprOach. Like an eating
leprosy the plague of Luxury is
spreading from the highest to the
very lowest stratum of society.
The taste for vain display in
houses, furniture, food and dress,
has become general, often extrav.
agant and INDUCED at ruinous
cost.
All history teaches US that Lux.
ury brings an inevitable decay |
IN the public and private morals
of the people. We in America
are breeding in our own bosom
the Goths and Vandals that may |
later visit US with the fate of old, |
luxury-weakened Rome, and if |
happy America may hope to es-
cape this mournful fate of ma.
tions grown rich and powerful, it
will have to thank its Women for
it.
If then THE TRANSCRIPT had
the privilege of addressing the
Delaware State Federation of
Women's Cluts, this plea for
return to the simpler life of onr
fathers and mothers, would be the
burden of it's MESSAGE.

OH THE SHAME OF IT

The dignifed Office of the Chief
Magistrate of this great Nation
was never before so degraded as
by its present unworthy possess
or!
The unseemly spectacle of a
president leaving his official
duties to go upon the stump,
seeking in state after state, his
own denomination, and worse yet,
tiinging campaign mud at his
antagonist like any common
ward politician, is one to make
every American remembering
the great statesmen and patriots
who have honored that high
station, hang his head in shame!
So it has remained for this Judge
president TO be guilty OF this
grave breach of official decorum,
and to bring upon the Office OF
president even greater obloquy
than did Andrew Johnson, the
Accident; for in his "swings
around the circle, the venom
and billingsgate he vented was
not in an effort to secure another
term. but in his quarrel with Con
gress.
Nor can Mr.. Taft pretend that
las the titular head Of the Re.
publican party'-as he pom
pously styles himself-he was
compelled thus to abdicate the
seat of Washington and Lincoln
to enter the arena of low politics.
o shades of the great and dead
presidents! Faugh!
