The announcement late yesterday after noon of the death of Mr. Weir B. Coffman In Chicago, one of Omaha'a best known young men, came as a shock to society, of which he was a prominent member.

Turner, Beol, Martin, Andrews, Miss Peck, Miss Craves and Mr. George Barker, Jr. WOUAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY lt,e seven ui Lieinii..i i uou.ui i-operation of Women's clubs has come and passed; a new executive board haa taken the reins of that great association of more than 00,000 women and the eyes of the nation, yes and the world, are turned upon this greatest woman's organisation to aee how wall it will carry out the decisions of Its ten days' deliberations at St. Loula May 17 to 27. Larger than any that have preceded it, the voting strength was Increased over that of the Los Angeles meeting only In proportion to the growth of the federation, which proves that though the World's Fair waa doubtless an attraction to many, the biennials have ever been sufficient In them selves to attract a full representation of the General Federation. And thla la but another proof of the seriousness with which the foremost of America's intelligent and educated womanhood haa accepted its re sponsibility In the great task of educating the nation to- higher and better standards. While the convention was undisturbed by any Issue such as marked the two preced ing It, It was remarkable for something even greater and more broadening than the overcoming and harmonising of radical factions. Grave problems were presented and reviewed from its floor and delicate matters of educated opinion were discussed' with a calmness and tolerance that must forever disprove that old, old claim that women are too- emotional to be trusted with the adjustment of the larger affairs. With the counter attractions of a great exposition and palatial homes thrown open to them In brilliant social affairs, the club women gave their first attention to the convention and with few exceptions, every delegation held Its full quota ot voters at every session. As never before, the pro grams served the double purpose of enter taining and educating along the lines of the federation's work, and the addresses were supplemented by general discussion from the floor. Out of . their broad experience, Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, and Mis. Florence Kelley of the. Consumers' league, told a great audience of men, as well as clnb women, what child labor really means; of tho conditions that exist because of It and of what has been accomplished by legislation through the efforts of the club women and others to overcome the evil, while Mrs. Frederick Nathan of New York and Mra. Frederick SchofI of Philadelphia, president of the National Congress of Mothers, added the reports of their In vestigation and experience. And these wo men stand as recognised authorities on the great Industrial i-roblems of the day. Home making as a science, was presented by Mrs. Nellie Kedzle Jones, who made a plea that the girls be given an education to fit them to become wives and home makers In the ' truest sense, while Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless told how the women of Canada i had succeeded in establishing household economics in the school curricu lum from the kindergarten to the uni versities. Education art, civil service reform,- civics and legislation furnished the themes of other programs each bringing the annoupcement of results that have more than compensated for the months and years of patient work and that will serve to ntlmulate the women to future effort. ' The business sessions were longer and more numerous than ever before and were better attended. . Much time was given to amending the bylaws with a view to ex pediting the business of future conventions. In the future, polling places with a register of voters wllj be provided where the votes may be cast outside or the convention nail and two tellers and one Inspector will serve at each poll, these to be appointed as the convention sees fit. This will save the time that has formerly been taken from the business meeting. , The . ."Mormon" question, that, had. long been dreaded, same Up. inform of .an amendment to Article ii, providing. ht any organization that, .toler ates by practice or teaching, violation of the laws of the state or the nation, ehall be denied membership in the General Fed eration. In view of the ' evidence devel oped in the Reed Smoot investigation, this will preclude the possibility of Mormon clubs joining In future, but as there are already several clubs belonging, that In clude Mormon members, even the more conservative members admit that there may be further developments as the feel ing among the women was Intensified by the attendance and presence in the con vention of two plural wives a,nd the at tempt of Mtss Alice Reynolds, an Instructor in Brlgham Young college at Provo, Utah, and an ex-mleslonary, to uphold the Mor mon church, from the convention floor. The most important amendment provides for a change In membership dues, as fol lows: "Thrt 'annual dues of clubs of fewer than twenty-five members shall be 12.50; of clubs of twenty-five and fewer than 100 members, 10 cents per capita." Clubs of more than 100 members will con tinue to pay 10 cents per capita. Originally all clubs were assessed tho same, but ns this small assessment did not pay the ac tual expense of carrying the smaller clubs I and on the other hand occasioned the larg est cluba which have only a small member ship fee a hardship it was deemed neces sary to mak- some change. This was per mltted In the case of the smaller clubs,, but the convention held the larger organis ations to the original dues. It is anticipated that some of the largest clubs will with draw aa a result. The original amendment provided that clubs numbering between 100 and 200 should pay $10 per year -and clubs numbering over that psy 6 cents per capita. This part of the amendment failed to carry. While It Is admitted that the priv ilege of membership In the General Federa tion Is worth 10 cents a year to any woman, it la necessary for the larger clubs to pay their dues out of the club treasury, aa it is practically Impossible to collect the 10 cents from all the women, and with the -many other demands that come to tho large city organizations, paying out several hundred dollars a year in membership dues la a burden to many. Aa a precautionary measure, the conven tion early appointed a committee on reso lutions, to which all resolutions were sub mitted for approval befora being allowed to be presented to the convention for adop tion. Among thoae finally presented by the committee was one from the industrial committee for the continuance of the effort for a better regulation of child labor, an other recommending an effort for the estab lishment of the merit system In state and Municipal offices; further work for Juve nile oourU and the probation system, the extension of household economics In tha school system, and last, and one that be speaks much, the following: Resolved, That we recognise In the per mananoe and sacredness of the marriage relation a principle In Its significance. Heeulved, That acb federallun Inform Itself on Its state laws governing marrtage and divorce and that concerted sysiemmie effort be made to secure strict and unlforrh laws rovernlng these Important subjects. Resolved. That we exte-nd our thanks to the United States senate for the Investi gation into an organisation which controls Us adherents morally, politically and com mercially. . Resolved That In view of the systematic efforts of that body to undermine the Cnrls tl.'in standard of marriage snd to iliiml'.ate state and national legislation, each state federation urge upon its senators to take such legislative action as will prevent the recognition of a power which undermines moral standards and the continuance of practices which are contrary to the prin ciples of the American eople. These resolutions are an admirable Bum ming up of the most perplexing questions of the convention. The one radical act of the convention was the eliminating from j Its honor roll the name of one of Its former ; presidents, Mrs. Rebecca Douglas I.owo, J who preceded Mrs. Denlson, the retiring president. In office. This was done In dis approval of her recent marriage with 1-Charlrs Gunton, a divorcee, under cir cumstances that violated, they felt, the highest and best for which the General Federation stands. To be sure It was ac complished by the indirect action of the house, a cleverly arranged and undeniably misleading motion, but, while some dis approval , was expressed regarding the means It was generally recognized tis the best that could have been employed, when Its full significance became known. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of any program waa the address of Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker of Denver, on "Is the Ballot of Value to the Working Woman." And yet, it Is hardly remarkable that this broadening to a discussion of woman suf frage should result from the evolution of the club movement. It was particularly fitting, however, that Mrs. Docker should have been selected to present the subject and her thorough understanding and prao tlcal presentation of It enlightened score whose conservatism had previously kept them In Ignorance ot its real meaning. The storm of applause at the conclusion testified to their enlightenment. Socially, the seventh biennial was unsur passed by any that have preceded it. Two brilliant reception days at the fair grounds and another among the largest nnd fore moat homes of the city were occasions long to be remembered. As for the "entertainment of the conven tion the .local biennial board under the able chairmanship of Mrs. Phillip N. Moore, is to be congratulated upon the success of Its Immense undertaking. With the excep tion of the provision for the working press to which so much is due little more could have been asked and the seventh biennial, the St. Louis biennial, will long be remem bered by the several thousand women who were privileged to attend It.
