federation, and these have recently
been organized into a very interesting
club under the leadership of past
president.
So much has been accomplished
along legislative lines by this State
that one involuntarily asks, "Who is
their legislative chairman?" and it is
with no small pride that the women
tell you that she is one of those who,
in company with Jane Adams, rep
resented the United States at the Ma
tional Council of Women that took
place at Budapest. Mrs. Minnie U.
Rutherford-F Fuller is now national
figure. A graduate student of law, a
brilliant speaker, a practical organi-
zer, President of the w. C. T. U. of
her State, and member of the Leg
islative Committee of the G. F. w.
c., her training and experience ena-
BILE her to grasp just what her State
needs and just what must be done to
secure it. The lawmakers of Arkan-
sas cannot put off such a woman as
Mrs. Rutherford-Fuller with compli-
ments, platitudes or promises. She
knows what is needed, and she works
with fearless persistence until she
gets it. But she will tell you, as
alas! will every club woman, that the
getting of law is only one-third Of
the work. The other two-thirds are
saving it from repeal, and urging that
it be enforced. As one woman puts
it, "Half of US row, and the other
half is busy bailing out"
Under the able Craftsmanship of
Mrs. Rutherford-Fuller the fedora
ton has worked for and secured (and
saved from repeaD prohibition and
child labor laws; maximum hour and
minimum wage laws, and State Board
of Health laws. A splendid organi-

But how many federations are doing
this? How many cooperate with uni
versities The art and music divis-
ions of the federations cry out that
there is no interest in cultural things
the art and music departments of the
universities work on, independent of
the people beyond their walls, and
they, too, complain of the Grass lack
of taste displayed by the people as a
whole. 1t is time these two stopped
crying out separately and emulated
this splendid Arkansas federation by
uniting forces.
The federation believes in prepared
ness, and they are preparing-not by
rolling bandages and making bullets,
but by taking into the federation fold
hundreds Of high school girls who will
be future chairman, and perhaps pres
idents! The clubs enrolment of girls
is near the two thousand mark-and
special sessions are devoted to the ac-
tivities of these young members.
Through the junior civic leagues,
little folks of both sexes are drawn
into the fold, and clean-ups are an
important phase of their work. The
schools issue to them cards to be
signed when they feel that they have
done their share towards cleaning up
yards and homes, and reward of an
auto ride, long held in anticipation,
does marvels to stimulate civic zeal
During vacation field-days are held
in the rural school houses, and the
boys greatly enjoy the contests spe-
cially prepared for them-corn con-
tests, pig, peanuts and poultry. For
the girls contests in home economics
are interesting, such as crockery,
braided rugs, basketry, crochet work
and pieced quilts. Arbor days are
held in both town and country, and,
of course, there are splendid canning
clubs and corn clubs that every fed
Grafton is now emphasizing. With
all this preparation for the little citi-
zens of the future, Arkansas does not
forget to pay loving and loyal tribute

| of Representatives from the State
Medical Association, Federation OF
Labor, Bar Association, w. C. T. u
and the Arkansas Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs.
And last-but in many hearts first
is the loyal and beautiful work of
writing history of Arkansas. There
is no adequate record of Arkansas
statehood, so her club women are
now compiling such a history, and it
is with enthusiasm and with rever-
ence that they have set about con-
sulting old manuscripts and docu-
ments, and county by county are ver-
flying precious records that might
otherwise forever perish. Mrs. r. B.
Willis, an able past president, is at
the head of this undertaking, and her
account of the work in recent issue
of the Federation Magazine is keen
and interesting: at has been custom
ary," she says, "for people from the
thirteen original colonies to smile pa
tornizingly at the suggestion that Ar
kansas has any real history. From
their viewpoint, we were obscurely
born in 1886 and have plodded at the
tail-end of the procession ever since
Their ignorance may be bliss, but
nevertheless we desire to dissipate it
at all costs. Every federated club is
allied with the Arkansas Historical
Association, and we promote in every
way the work of the Arkansas His
tory Commission that our legislature
created twelve years ago.
From the days of 1910, the days of
the clanking sword of DeSoto and his
knights, the days of the ruthless
Spaniard and the resentful Indian,
down through the Louisiana Purchase
in 1903, we do possess history, ira
dition, legend and poetry of early
struggle and adventure. From these
volumes, as we'll as from other
sources, our women learn of the
prowess and fidelity of a great and
soldiery who bore a gallant
part in the war between the States,
some on both sides of that struggle,
but the large majority under the BAN
ners of the Southern Confederacy."
w men one places Slue Dy Slde with
the splendid resolve to rescue from
oblivion the history of their State, all
of the legislative work that has been
accomplished by this federation, the
libraries that have been founded, the
scholarships, and the numberless ru-

tion and the impulsion toward civic
beauty, one thinks with swift SYM

a sincere tribute of appreciation for
one of the city's officials. The wo-
men raised $4,000 for a city park
and named it after their mayor.
Of course, there are here and there
riffs within the lutte, and occasionally
refractory mayors have to be pun

publicity and there are times when it
chastises most effectively. eve sue

mayor never succeeded in having
them cut at ALL" the clubs of one
town published in widely circulated
periodical. When he read it, the
mayor of that town squirmed a bit
and afterwards looked more closely
into the matter of weeds. During
gubernatorial campaign the several
candidates received notice that their
platform would he discussed at
coming convention of the Arkansas
Federation. "And suffice to say"
laughed the publicity chairman, "ev-
cry little candidate was there with

very clever and original methods,
Mrs. J. J. Read, this aforesaid pub
licity chairman, and next month she
will tell you about the federation in
her own words.
The cooperation between one of
Arkansas progressive men and the
women's clubs has brought about
glowing results, suggesting rich vein
of ore that many a State federation
might tap to its profit. Professor
H. D. Tovey, director of the Univer-
sity of Arkansas School of Music,
mas made a unique and interesting
contribution to the clubs of tho State
"a "travei'ng music gallery" which
enables the federation to send the
best music into rural districts at very
little cost. His plan has been endors-
ed by Mrs. Pennybacker, and by the
National Chairman of Music, Mrs. F.
S. Wardwell. Before it had been in
operation many months requests be-
gan to come for details from twenty
eight States, from Canada, Spain and
Australia. professor Tovoy sends
to any club or school that can OBJ
tain a victrola, four sets of fifteen
records each. Each set is accompa-
MED by typewriter talk by Profess
sor Tovoy, explaining the music to
be heard and giving few interesting
facts about its origin, the instru-
ments used, singers, etc. The talks
make the music easier to understand
and therefore more enjoyable. and the
music is the best of old and modern
masters. By the eagerness with
which these records are received it is
plain that music hunger has been felt
even in the most isolated districts"
1t is probable that more than one
State university has a director of art +
or of music who would gladly give the
best he had, could people but be quick
ened to receive it. Many of these
would welcome an opportunity to join
hands with the club women to foster
those arts which, more than any 9TH
er thing except religion itself. touch
the inner lives of people. Such a

TEN FUNDAMENTAL
PROPOSITIONS OF
GOVERNMENT.
William Jennings Bryan.

venture to present ten PROPOSE
tions:
l. The social ideal towards which
the world is moving requires that hu-
man Institutions shall approximate
towards the divine measure of rewards
and this can only be realized when
each individual is able to draw from
society a reward proportionate to his
contribution to society.
z. The form of government which
gives the best assurance of attaining
this ideal is the form in which the
people rule-a government deriving
Its just powers from the consent of
the governed-the form described bv
Lincoln as "a government of the peo-
PIE, by the people and for the people"
This being the peoples government,
1t is their duty to live for it in time
OF peace and die for it, if necessary
in time of war.
.. The chief duty of governments
IN SO far as they are coercive. is to
restrain those who would interfere
with the inalienable rights of the in
dlvldual, among which are the right to
life, the right to liberty, the right to
the pursuit of happiness, and the right
to worship God according to the die
tates of ones conscience.
H. In SO far as governments are
cooperative, they approach perfection
IN production as they adjust with
justice the joint burdens which it is
necessary to impose and distribute
with equity the incidental benefits
which come from the disbursement of
the money raised by taxation. :
.. Competition is so necessary a
force in business that public owner
ship is imperative wherever competi-
ton is impossible. A private monon-
oily is indefensible and intolerable.
8. absolute acquiescence in the
decision of the majority" is, as JEFF
ferson declares, "the vital principle of
republics, from which is no appeal
but to force, the. vital principle and
parent of despotism."

President Theodore B. Klein pre-
sided at/the forty-eighth annual
meeting of the Dauphin County His
torical Society, last evening, at their
house, 9 South Front street, where a
goodly number of members gather
ed for the celebration.
A brief sketch of tn society was
given, telling of its early beginnings
with thirteen charter members, and
its work for the preservation of rec
ords and relics through all the
years; of the house it now owns
through the generosity of william
kelker, and of the present enthusi-
astic membership of two hundred.
AS the date was Flag Day, Presi-
dent Klein repeated his famous ad-
dress on The History of the Flag"
He spoke of its first adoption as the
emblem of Liberty, and of the varied
experiences of its defenders on land
and sea up to the present time, when
it floats over the battlefelds of Eu-
rope in the defense off democracy.
Mr.. Klein repeated brakes Won
derful poem, The American Flag"
and Your Flag and My Flag" the
official song of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and a cele-
brated campaign song of recent
years.
After the program there was a So
cial hour with refreshments. The
house was most elaborately decorat-
ed with garden flowers, peonies, roses
and syringia, gifts from Mrs. Joseph
A. Thompson, John Franklin Hor-
stick and Mrs. Stutzman, all mem-
bers of the society.
