In the Federation notes which ap­peared in various papers of the stale, the members of the educational and those of the library committee were in­advertently transposed. The education­al committee is as folicws: Chairman, Mrs. Lvnii ' .a M. Hurd, I>nbuqu' ' ; Jos­ephine D. Remley, Iowa City; Flora Iv. Sail ' .nils. Le Mars.

Library committee: Chairman, Mrs. Flora S. Barkley, Boone: Mrs. D. W. Norris, Orinnell; Mrs. Ora Burleson, Webster City.

The educational committee, in pur­suance uf the act inn of the last bien­nial of the I. F. W. C., endorsing com­pulsory education, has prepared a peti­tion to be preesnted to the next gen­eral assembly, asking for the enact­ment of a compulsory education law in Iowa. Over 1,000 signatures have been obtained to the petit ion. The petit ion sets forth that, while the taxes for schools In Iowa am'ount to $S,000,-000 per annum, the best results are not obtained because many parents and guardians do not send their children to the schools for a sutlicient t ime. The pet ' t ioneis pray that a law be enacted requiring all parents and guardians in the slate having children in their care, between the ages of 7 (excepting where there are kindergartens, then »">) and 14 years to send them to school, those liv­ing in the country districts, not less than sixteen weeks, and in cities, and towns not less than six consecutive months during each year. The enact­ment of compulsory school laws in Kentucky and Illinois has been very beneficial. There is much interest taken in the work of the educational commit­tee.

Another committee formed at the last biennial was that of household econo­mics, Iowa being the second state fed­eration to give household economics a standing committee. The committee, of which Mrs. Minnie P. Campbell Mal­vern is chairman, Mrs. Emma Van Yechten and Mrs. Ida S. Snyder Tabor, t ire members, have Issued a pamphlet containing information and programs lor use ot clubs. The committee urge that club won-.en lend their aid in dis­pelling the illusion that the service of housekeeping is merely a matter of cooking, dishwashing, dressing the chil­dren. etc. , for, since the dawn of his-torv, civilization itself, with all reforms

"other Indian cities refused their con­sent to the sanitary measures which the British government employed .for the extirpation of the plague, and they even rose in open and violent revolt against the tvranny that would save them from pestilence without then-consent. If we are not mistaken, right here in our own city the health ofllcers have now and then had to run counter to the will of some of the people in the enforcement of sanitary laws.

What, then, becomes of the fine doc­trine of the -'consent of the governed?" Was it not flagrantly violated in Bom­bay, and are not our administrators shamefully defying it in Cuba? Should we not come away and leave the peo­ple to filth and fever? Oh, no, men say; "beeauge we are not merely saving those people from sickness against their will, but we are preventing the propagation of pestilences which would spread else­whither and attack other people, so that these people are being coerced for the general good.

The Holley Press Ciub, of Belmond, has its program in royal purple colors, and oil the ti t le page is the motto, "Step by Step We Gain the Heights;" emblem, holly berries; founded, 1S00; federated, 1S95. Mrs. E. M. Amnry, president: Mrs. E. L. Stnpley, secre­tary. Roll call is answered by a brief original thought. A club story is a fea­ture of the program. Club topics in­clude such subjects as Sensitive Chil­dren, how to treat them: Who is Your Favorite Foot, and Why? My Early Ex­perience as an Author; Arbor Bay story. There is .much original work done in the Ilolley Press Club, and among the members are a number of writers of short stories and poems.

The Clio Club, of Carroll , will study the Netherlands and the work is care­fully planned, making an exhaustive study of this interesting country. Meet­ings of this club are held every week. It was organized in 1-SS4. Federated, lM'o, in the state, and In the genearl fed­eration, 1894. The motto is "Quanti est sapere."

The third annual announcement of the Council Bluffs Women's Club is an attractive booklet. The club Is a de­partment one and the heads of art , cur­rent topics, city improvement, English and American li terature and parlia­mentary law. The questions • are ar­ranged to the best advantage. The pres­ident is Mrs. Helen C. Montgomery and the secretary Mrs. Mabel F. Towslee. The club has i ts own rooms at 414'/2 Broadway. The club joined the general federation and the state, also, in 1S0S.

The year book of the Hall in the Grove (graduates of C. L. S. C.) Cres-ton, Iowa, has for i ts course of study Shakespeare, Interspersed with other topics, such as paving and sewerage, streets and alleys, postal service. One number of the program is a debate-"Resolved. That the study of Shakes­peare is of more benefit than that of modern authors." Mrs. Chris. Winhafer is president; Mrs. Newt. Grubb is sec­retary.

Tlie Clio Club, of Otttimwa, has for i ts study literature, history and art of Italy. The lectures of Jorn Lord will be discussed at a number of the meet­ings. The president is Miss Emma J. Holt. The secretary is Mrs. H. P. Colt.

In the year book there are three clubs named Porosis. The calendar from one of these is at hand, but as the name of the town is not given on the program it might be a difficult matter to locate the club accurately. Vsually the club cal­endars are for the use of members, but for exchange among other clubs or for a reference for the Journalist It would seem that the name of the city or town might be an added convenience.

The Oakland Avenue Club is prob­ably located in Iowa, but the name is not given on the cnlendar. In the year book we find i t located at Council Bluffs.

Further resume will be given in the next article. The federation items are sent to about thirty-five daily and weekly papers in the state. No one pa­per has been chosen as the official organ of the Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs. The president. Mrs. Mabel Hutchinson, has stated In h<»r greetings to the federated clubs that the journal­ist expects to send club news broadcast in Iowa and asks that the clubs furnish her interesting matter, but did not ask the secretaries to send items to any particular paper in the state, and none such has been recognized by the federa­tion as an official organ. The news will be disseminated as heretofore, in the leading papers of the state.

Lincoln can never answer this address. The crowd is so carried away with Douglas thrtt i t will be impossible lor Lincoln to get a hearing." "Wait aud see," was the re­ply of Untemiin.

During the delivery ef his opponent 's address Mr. Lincoln sut with his legs crossed, head bowed, eyes partially closed aud countenance as expressionless as parelnnciit . When Douglas had conclud­ed his address ami taken his seat, Mr. Lincoln remained seated, allowing the friends of Douglas to cheer and shout to their hearts ' content, l ie then arose and walked slowly and deliberutely to the front of the platform, raised himself to his full height anil looked over his audi­ence for a lit t le without uttering a sylla­ble. l ie tlica began to unbutton and slowly remove a long linen duster which covered a conventional suit of black. After folding it with great care and de­liberation he handed it to some one just back of him and said in his clear, pene­trating voice, that reached every ear in his now quiet and expectant audience, "Young man, hold that whiie I stone Ste­phen."

The effect was electrical and all that Mr. Lincoln's friends could have desired. Douglas' eloquence was forgotten. The audience was quick to catch the force and point of this play on words. They laughed and cheered and were at once placed in that receptive atti tude that was necessary for Mr. Lincoln's successful rejoinder.

Mr. Lincoln had by this master stroke of wit secured the good will and kindly attention of his hearers while lie pro- j are nQW w j t h jn f reach< cveded to "tstouu Stephen with iiriru- i ^
