V'poa recommendation ot the directory
the following resolutions formulated and
adopted by the Woman's club of Orange,
N. J., Jaauary 11, acre presented to the
club, they having been previously consid
ered In the directory:
Whereas, A question of vital Importance,
relating to the admission of colored mem
bra, waa touched upon by the Oeneral
Federation of Woman'a Cluba at the tlfvh
biennial convention in 1!M; and
Whereas. The great power and wide
spread influence of that large body of
women working together for the uplifting
of humanity makes it necessary to retain
the fellowship and good feeling of all
cluba, ao that we cannot but look with ap
prehension upon this problem, whk-h we
believe If puahed to Immediate solution
will cause discord in the general federa
tion and poaaibly result in division and
separation thereof, be It
Resolved. That no amendment or change
be made In the eonatltulon or bylaws of

Heeelved. That no aubieac referring to

out strong condemnation of the resolutions,
on member declaring that their adoption
would be n cowardly evasion of th grest-
eat and most vital moral question thst had
ever been presented for th federation to
settle. She urged that the women should
not shirk their responsibility In ths mat
ter, but they . should tak some attitude
that meant something, adding "and let that
something be our best Judgment of this
great morsl Issue."
Ther waa further opposition to the reso
lutions on the ground that a later meet
ing of th harmonising committee of th
Massachusetts and Oeorgia federations had
effected some arrangement that promised
to afford om ground for reconciling ths
proposed conflicting nmendments to ths
constitution or at least affording sam mor
mutual ground that th women might tk.
Accordingly it wa decided that n com
mittee be appointed to investigate th re
ult of this latest conference and report
to the club before any action bo taken re
garding th Orange resolution.
Somewhat to ths surprlss of many there
was a motion to rescind ths isst years'
action of the club in requiring the pay
ment of SO cents for the admission of
Omaha visitors at ths open meeting, ths
motion coming from th woman whs had
originally proposed this restriction upon
Omaha guests. 6hs frsnkly admitted that
while sh thought the plsn n good ons
when h Introduced it. sh had changed
her mind and considered tbst experience
had proven It n failure. Ia th dlaeussica
thst followed th worn seemed to be
unanimous in this opinion nnd so ths rule
wss rescinded sad next yesr the original
rule will b adopted again, allowing each
woman four guests a year.
Th program of th afternoon was pro

school warrants, and this precipitated a
spirited debate. Member Funkhouser
wanted, to know If It was compulsory for
the teachers to cash vthelr warrant at
tbe banks. "If It Is." said b. "I think w
ar transcending our power. I think n
teacher has th right to do with her war
rant as sh chooses." ,

darrtsnd the attitude of th board so this
question, the rule Is not compulsory. The

warrant at th bank. Nine-tenths of them
cash their warranta anyway at par and It
ran make no difference to them whether
they cash them with th bank or with a
brokerage firm, and It doe mak n differ
ence to the bord. And it i to th Interest
of the tescher to comply with th request I
of th board In this matter, sine this sav

Troubl of some sort bss overtsken th
local Economic league, which was estab
lished under th auaptce of tb L'nlvcrslty
sssoclstlon of Chlcsgo. Its exact nsture
appears to be a failure on the part of the
Chicago associstlon to carry out Its under
tsklng. , '
Hulbert Fuller of Chlcsgo was In Omaha
last fsll to msks tb needed srrsngementsC
H explained the plan, whoa scop compre
hended n series of twenty lectures, to b
given weekly during th winter, speakers
t be furnished by tb University sssoclstlon
to alternate at fortnightly Intervals with
local speakers. Omsha was ons of a circle of
westsrn towns Including Denver. Belt Laks,
Loa Angeles, Pan Francisco, Portlsnd and
Scsttls which comprised the circuit over
whleh th lecture course extended. ' '
Henry Demorest Lloyd . waa th first
epesker. He csma to Omaha Thursday, Oc
tober 24, and spoke it ths Congregations!
church on "Th Worklngmen ot New Zea
land." At thia tim an organisation of th
local Economic league waa formed, Francis
A. Brogan being chosen president nnd C. 8.
Montgomery secretary. Course tickets were
