LOCAL UNION NEWS.

Scotts Mills, Ore., April 2, 1906.

We thought the readers of the Re-
view would be interested in hearing
about 0111' union. It was organized
about a year ago with ten members;
it has now increased to twenty active
and six honorary members.

Last Wednesday afternoon we met
in a business session and elected the
following officers: President, Mrs.
Hattie B. Coulson; Secretary, Mrs.
J. Lent; CorreSponding Secretary,
Mrs. Ethel Cox; Treasurer, Mrs. Mary
Commons.

There has been two oratorical cou-
tests held here this year. The first
one, February 23, Miss Leota Com—
mons winning the medal; the second
one at 1he Friends‘ Church, March 29.
There were five contestants, two girls
and three boys The medal was won
by \Valter Minier. Excellent music
was furnished by the choir. A solo
was sung by Miss Elma Lutgen, “The
Diunkard's I-one Child,“ while the
judges were deciding, a dialogue was
given by Mr. Boggess and Asa Kellis,
title “011 Which Side." which was
very much appreciated by the audi-
ence. The proceeds of the tho c011-
tests amounted to $11.15.

011 last Friday night. Mrs. De Voe
was here and gave an interesting lec-
ture on “Woman‘s Suffrage," and also
organized a campaign committee
which will proceed to actiVe work.

MRS. JESSIE WRIGHT.
Supt. of Press \Vork.

Mrs. Zarana Rosebraugh reports an
exceedingly interesting mothers‘ meet-
ing at Sunnyside, addressed by Mrs.
Ada Unruh in her usual efficient man-
ner. These mothers‘ meetings at S1111-
nyside have been made a marked
feature of their work,

Sixteen members of the Sunnyside
Union attended the contest on the
evening of State Executive.

W. C. T. U. INSTITUTE.

A very interesting and instructive
two days' institute was held by State
President Mrs, Additon, at Plainview,
Monday and Tuesday of this week.

On account of the severe weather
the attendance was not as large as
usual, though five unions were rep-
sented. The day sessions were re-
plete with discussions 'of different
phases of the work. Equal Suffrage
will claim the greater part of the
women‘s attention from now until
J1me. Rev. Hollingworth presented a
papeI 011 the saloou question. Mr.
Carey was also present and faV‘Oled
the institute with some app10p1iate
songs. A11 excellent lunch was served
at the church both days and the noon
hour was greatly enjoyed by all.

Monday evening was devoted to a
Silver Medal Contest, which was both
instructive and amusi1 g. The medal
was presented to Mabel Childs, of
Brownsville Union. by Mrs. Additon,
in her usual happy manner,

Tuesday evening Mrs. Additou de-
livered an able lecture 011 the “Eco-
nomic Side of the Local Option Ques-
tion," to, an appreciative audience.

New members are being added to
the different unions at almost every
meeting, the interest is growing and
agitation will be kept 111) until our
dreaded foe is removed,

Riddle the sessions were well attend-
ed and the information gained will
tell for good in time and eternity.
Our State President, Mrs. Additon,
delivered a lecture at each place that
was pronounced by learned and
thoughtful men, very excellent, far
above the average public addresses.
We found her to be a fine institute
leader and were greatly assisted by
local workers at each point. Mrs. M.
M_ Sleeth was with 11s at Drain and
Oakland, and in spite of a severe
cold, agve 118 many good ideas. She
is in earnest in he1 efforts to 1id 0111
land of its g1eatest foe, and at Rid-
dle and Y011calla spent two days each
VeIV acceptably to the unions

\\ e are awake to the fact that this
is an important time in 0111 histo1),
and we mean to do our part to save
our local option law, and free the
women.

T111ne1 W C. T U., as well as the
community, appreciated very much
the presence of State President, Mis.
1.. F. Additon, Sunday, February 25.
She spoke in a most helpful, practical
way, both morning and evening, in the
M. E. Church. Some who were known
to be unorthodox in their temperance
belief, were heard speaking of their
interest in the addresses.

Jackson County held an executive
meeting February 28th at Medford;

State President Mrs. L. H. Additon
held a two-days' Institute in VVood—
burn, Marion County, March 15 and
16, assisted by the County President,
Mrs. R. M. Steele.

The day sessions were devoted to
different lines of Work. Very fine pa-
perswere read, followed by discus—
sions by those present, our dear be-
loved President adding words of cheer
and encouragement. The question box
proved a source of helpfulness.

Five local Unions were represented.
\Voodburn local Union was refreshed
and new members added.

011 the first evening, there was a
very successful silver medal contest,
under the direction of Miss Gertrude
Grossbeck. 011 the second evening
Mrs. Additon gave a very fine address
to a la'ge audience in the Methodist
church. MRS. DELIA OVERTON.

We have a class of five—three boys
and two girls, who are preparing for
the gold medal contest.

We have one faithful little woman
who Is superintendent of literature,
viz, Mrs Fannie Walker, who will be
glad to get you1 mag azines and otheI
good pe1iodicals afte1 you have 1ead
them, and place them where they
will benefit. some one. So please do
not destroy good literature, but hand
it to some of the W. C. T. U. ladies,
who will see that. 0111' superintendent.
of this department gets it.

M1s. C. E. Bodwell, State President
of East Washington W. C. T. U., made
the address at the Frances E. Willard
memorial service held Sunday after-
noon in the Christian church. She
also lectured at the same place in the
evening. Fair sized audiences greet-
ed the speaker at both meetings. All
listened attentively to the irrefutable
truths which she gave us. As a
Union we feel that she has been help-
ful to 11s and hope She will come again.
A number of new members was se-
cured for the Union.

We hold our regular meetings every
Friday at 2:30 p. 111., at the home of
Mrs. Susie Masters. Visitors are al-
ways welcome. E. W. PHELPS,

Centralia, Wash, April 3, 1906.
Beloved Comrades of Oregon:

Believing that you will all be glad
to have some lines direct from me, I
will send you a little “love letter”
through the Review. I would like to
write personal letters to many of you,
but I am not: physically able to do
this, so I earnestly hope you will each
accept this as your very own letter.
It is so good that you have the bean-
tiful State paper, that its columns
may be used for a closer contact with
one another.

Dear Sisteis s, since seeing many of
you, “The chariot has swung very
low,” for me, and it. has seemed for
many days that I must leave you and
all the dear ones in this world, but
some 110w the good Father has length-
ened out the brittle thread of life
to me, and has let me tarry for a
time. I believe I am here today, be-
cause a belt of prayer ascended to
the throne in my behalf.

“Fear not little flock, it is your Fath—
er’s good pleasure to give you the
Kingdom.”

“Not to the strong is the battle,

Not to the swift is the race;

But to the true and the faithful,.
Victory cometh through grace.”

Affectionately, your loyal comrade,

MATTIE N. GRAVES.

NOTED ANNIVERSARY.

No report has been sent us of the
banquet given by the Portland Cen-
tral Union, and we regret this.

The committee consisting of Mad
ames Dalgleish, Paget and Amos, “did
themselves proud.” The banquet Was
a marked success in every detail, and
a most fitting celebration of the 25th
birthday of the first Union ever 01'-
ganized in Oregon.

Mr. McDaniels, as usual, proved
himself a model toast master, and
the toasts were responded to with wit
and wisdom in abundant evidence.

EASTER BELLS.

By M1s. M. L. Nutting.
Oh,hea1t of mine! thy sadness
Must pass While Easter bells
Ring out their notes of gladness;
List how the music swells!
There comes a bright tomorrow
For earth’ s most gloomy day,
And from thy tomb of sorrow

The stone shall roll away.

F01, oh, the Christ has risen!

. Be glad, then. heart of mine

For death could not imprison

,_ That blessed Loxd of mine.

,He lives and hath a mansion
All ready for his own,

Through heavens wide expansion
Shall peal the “welcome home,’

{Each happy bird is striving

7 To sing its sweetest lay,

And angels wings a1e driVing
The shadows all away -

Oh. join with them in b1111gir1g
A tribute to his shrine.

' While Easter bells are ringing,
Rejoice. oh, heart of mine!

RED LETTER, DAYS.

Dear Co- Workers: May I bring to
Vour minds the importance of the de-
.partment of socials and red letter
days. Our InternatiOnal Superinten-
dent says. “This department should

' be magnified in every State, for the

reason that it has power to- aWaken

"4: and sustain interest: in our Union,

and to influence: many persons to help
115 in- this mighty movement that

,seeks the improvement 0f the home,

'one;A of our Sup? s rote:
}the womEn of he fl1..=ect tatés

could grasp the powe1 that lies in

social life and work, the temperance
cause would be placed where it should
be, in the ve1y hea1t of home life’. ”

I believe 0111 women ale beginning
to realize something of the powe1
that might come to 0111' organization
through this department.

Now let me urge you to keep a
record of every social held, number
of red letter days observed, amount
of 0ffe1ing, number - of members
gained at. social meetings, pages of
literatuie distlibuted and any thing
else that will help to make a good
repott, then send this 1"epo1t to me.
If there is a local Union without a
superintendent of this department
will the President please appoint one
at once and send me the address so
1 can send out helps.

Will each County Superintendent
write to me. I know that much has
been done in this depa1tment which
has not been repotted.

Please 1eport and let OIegon have
the credit. she deserves in our next
annual report to the National.

Yours for victory,
MARGARET HOUSTON,
State Superintendent.

FRANCHISE.

Dear Friends: 0111' National W. C.
T. U. officers as well as the National
Franchise Department, have been
most kind and liberal in donating
1,000 copies of the FIanchise Union
Signal for our Olegon wo1k.

The President of each Union will
1eceive a packet of this special 1111111-
be1. I tiust that you will see that
they a1e placed in the hands of those
to whom thev are likelv to do the most
good.

0111' National Superintendent is
anxious that every minister should
have this number presented to him.

I feel sme that V'Ou will have this
done.

She hopes to get full reports from
Oregon this all-important year. So I

.beg that the local Superintendents
,keep records, and have them ready
- for me at the.beginning of September.

Have as many debate contests,
parlor meetings and sermons as pos-
sible. They will tell in the results
in June. ,

Yours faithfully,
LOUISA A. NASH,

SUFFRAGE NOTES.

Seventeen National and Interna-
tional Associations have endorsed
woman suffrage. including the Nation-
al Grange, National Letter Carrier’s
Association, National Council of Wom-
en, National W. C. T. U., National
Convention of Universalists, Supreme
Commandry Knights of Temperance.
National Sons of Temperance. and
American Federation 'of Labor; the
National Council of Jewish \‘Vomen
and the American Library Board re:
ceived fraternal delegates from the
Suffrage Association.

Colorado where women have voted
for ten years, the “age of consent," is
18. 111 North Carolina, where women
cannot vote, it is at 10 years of age.
In Wyoming, where women have vot-
ed for more than a quarter of a cen-
tury. If you have not already done so.
get the Union Signal of April 22, and
put. it in the hands of every voter:
here is work for our voters’ informa-
tion bureau.

The following timely comments are
taken from the Iowa Standard: ‘

“If any of 0111' readers take The
Outlook and are tired of its amtude
on the woman question, such persons
can find relief by taking the N. Y.
Independent. instead. You will not
find anywhere articles so fair and
lucid 011 all such topics as in that pub-
lication. As specimens of what we
mean we refer any who are suffi-
ciently interested to send for the
number of February 22, 1906, and read
its two editorials on “Subordination
and Subornation” and “Is Suffrage a
Right or a Privilege?” This advice
is not a paid advertisement.”

- If any of our readers are tired of
The Ladies’ Home Journal and must
have a journal of that stamp, we call
your-attentiOn to “The Woman’s Home
Companion, a publication equally
good whose attitude on the woman’s
question is the opposite ‘of that of the
former paper. It had an able article
in a recent number by Charlotte Per-
kins Stetson. Let all- suffragists
support. publications that favor the
cause in preference to publications
that disfavor it.
Ye Editor wants to sound Out a.
long and strong amen.
If it is a politician who is against
US, vote against him, agitate against
him, talk against him,‘ influence
against him, without any regard to
what party he lines 111) with. If it is
a publication, do not subscribe for it,

VV'IIT own, Vififfie1' 13 se 1 ‘

be good for. Th10w y'oul pocket-
book against the anti-suffrage 'publi-
cation. Cast your vote and influence
against the anti-suffragist politician.

"Oh! consistency, thou .art a jewel.”
May thy name be W. C. T. U.

An exceedingly interesting memo-
rial service was held in the “White
’Bl‘emple” Sunday, April .1, for Susan

Anthony.

BA t1ibute from the State W. C. T.
U. was 1ead.

The two days‘ conference of work-
ers for the suffrage amendment cam-
paign was full of enthusiasm.

Anna Shaw, although with traces of
the sorrow she had just passed
through, in parting with 11e1 beloved
partner, Susan B_ Anthony, was in-
spiring. magnetic in her talks. We
noted that. among the many campaign
workers from over the State who were
present, were some of the most loyal
ardent workers of 0111' own ranks.

State President Addition spoke the
first evening, and received merited
applause. '

CH RISTIAN CITIZENSHIP

Christian litizenship Department,
National Superintendent, Mrs. Tel-
i'ord; State Superintendent, Mrs. E. I
Woods, Richland.

A vast army of youthful citizens is
forging to the front. Their attitude
to present vital issues will determine
the character of 0111' great common-
wealth for a century to come. Prob-
lems confront 11s that. may now be
solved by sane and legitimate meth-
ods. Later they may be solved by
sterner process, for though “John
l-lrown's body lies mouldering in the
grave. his soul goes marching on."
only Christian citizenship can success-
fully grapple with these problems,

Nothing apart from God is more
potent. than public opinion. Vice,
wealth, autocratic government. long-
established customs, all go down be-
fore it. The solemn obligation is. upon
11s to create a public sentiment sane,

pure, imtolerant of evil, invincible.
Will you put your shoulder to the
wheel?

Local Superintendents.

1 Your watchword “Oregon .he
Banner State.”

2. Your. leadership—Intelligent, ef-
fective and far-reaching. -

The first requisite of intelligent
leadership is personal preparation.
Make yourself master of the situa-
tion. Send for suggested helps accord-
ing to your means and needs; study
carefully the plan of work.

For efficiency in service, study the
peculiar conditions in your locality;
select the two 01' three lines of work '
best adapted to your need. Do these'
well, rather than attempt too much.
Awaken public interest through con-
tests, rallies 01' lectures. Educate for
intelligent warfare against Specific
evils through systematic study, read-
ing circles, or the distribution of suit- _
able literature. Through these things
mould character and train to the no-
blest ideals, duties and privileges of
citizenship.

Working Plans.

Eight effective methods of work:

Public Ralliesr—Make use of the
children.

Sermons—Use the pastors.

Lectures—C. C.—Its duties and pos-
sibilities; its relation to education—
To the Chuich—To the W. C. T. U.

TmTO Ill“ . hugigfiF-fi EEC-”Ila qv ‘VW-L'm]

. pics

It has been found worth while, in
order to secure good attendance and
meet necessary expense with a pos-
sible margin, toarrange for three
lectures and sell course tickets, 250.

Silver Medal Contests. '

Use the W. C. T. U. silver medal
and selections from the C. C. Speaker.
General Distribution of Literature.
' Select according to your need from
suggested literature 01' other sources;
keep record of amount sent out, and
report to County Superintendent of
Christian Citizenship.

We recommend for use “National
Outlines,” published by National W.
C. T. U., secured of Ruby I, Gilbert;
“Patriotic Studies,” by Rev. 'Wilbur
F. Crafts, 200 Pa. Ave, S. E., Wash-
ington, D. C.

The Christian Citizenship
Circle.

We believe this to be by far the
most effective method of work. As
last year emphasis was laid upon the

T’w-iemnerarce forces should not
slacken their efforts to sustain our

present local option law.

The question of who is to represent
us at next legislature is of vital im-
portance; let us urge the voters to
stand together and elect men pledged
to support the local option law and
enforce all laws.

The liquor dealers
must be defeated.

Every precinct in Oregon ought to
have rallies and our strongest speak-
ers there.

Let us not lose. what we already
have.

Rev. E. Nelson Allen, of Portland,
well says:

“The corrupt and fraudulent meth-
ods of the liquor men ought to de-
feat them in the eyes of all fair-
minded citizens.

“Mr. Crofton admitted that they
had expended $140,000 in their efforts
to defeat the local option law two
years ago. Failing in that they in-
troduced the .layne bill and by the
most unscrupulous methods all but.
carried it through the ' legislature.
’I‘heir.present amendments are the
old Jayne bill made still more drastic,
giving the liquor men every possible
advantage in a contest. And, after re-
pealii g or nullifying the force of every
article inthe bill, they have the
temerity to place on the official bal-
lot the words: ‘For amendment to
the local option law, giving Anti-
Prohibitionists and Prohibitionists
equal privileges.’ The statement is
absolutely false, as every one knOWs
who has even casually investigated
the bill. Such effrontery ought to re-
ceive a telling rebuke at the polls. It
is time for the moral law-abiding
citizens of the State to strike one
hard blow for better things."

Press workers. now is the time for
stirring items; pre-empt every inch
of space you can.

Ave, for strong No License Litera-
ture.”

We cannot afford to be too sparing
of our printer’s ink.

Beloved Comrades: Will you each
one take a map of Oregon and get a
real grasp of the situation that con-
fronts those who are trying to plough
and seed dowu the field.

Not only a vast territory to go over,
but one divided with two great
ranges of mountains, dividing up into
three different countries, as it were;
railroad facilities limited; stage tra—
vel tremendously hard on the traveler
and no organizing fund to fall back
on, to pay up deficits along the way.

The greatest, need today is money
in the hands of your Lecture Bureau.

If every White Ribboner in Ore-
gon would raise one dollar for organ-
izing and field work, the entire State
could be stirred from center to circum-
ference, and telling blows in behalf of.
our vitally important legislative work
would be kept up without ceasing.

I greatly fear we do not sufficiently
realize the importance of work to de-
feat the liquor men’s amendment, and
to sustain our present local option
law June 4. Speakers should be sent
into every available point.

Let us leave no stone unturned in
this crucial time that. will help to
bring victory.

Since my last letter to you, the
days and weeks have been crowded
to overflowing with work.

Two days conference with campaign
workers on the suffrage amendment
work; days filled with writing and
making plans for other series of in-
stitutes, and planning routes for sev-
eral field workers. Our mid-year ex-
ecutive held in Portland.

Plans for Chautauqua are taking

(lennlte shape. .

Yes, these spring days are full of
earnest work. And now a word with
our State Superintendents. I trust
you have put yourself in connection
with your National Superintendent;
and have sent full instructions to each
county.

There is always more or less of
a tendency for a State Superinten—
dent to localize her work, try to avoid
that; remember your field is the State.
Your first duty is to try to get the
counties at work, and from them to
the local. Department work is the
very life of our organization, and any
local Union failing to do work in
department lines will languish and
die.

One word to our County Presidents,
will you not. see to it that every avail-
able point in your field is pre-empted?

Can you not make an increase in
your county this year of at least one
hundred new members; think what an
inspiration would come with the add-
ed strength.

And I desire to speak a word to the
Treasurers. '

It is the duty of the Treasurer to
collect dues at least semi-annually,
and in advance is always the best
way.

Please note the following from one
of the National Organizers:

“The Treasurer should collect all
dues within thirty days after name
is given for membership.

“When the collection of dues is
left to the end of the year, many
members are lost; some move away,
some are out when the Treasurer
calls, and others having no definite
work lose interest and decide to drop
out. The Treasurer who collects all
dues at the beginning of the year is
invaluable to the organization. This
detail work is necessary to the perma-
nence of the Union.”

The Treasurer’s blank, which was
a new plan voted on last. convention,
is placed in this issue of paper; will
local Treasurers who have not. al-
ready sent in semi-annual dues please
fill out and remit,

I find in some Unions a laxity in the
matter of paying county dues, and

third week. of April (according to the
topical program of State plan in State
