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. Out at
tha Country club there was a notioeable
depression In the week'a end gaiety among
the many sympathizing friends of Dr. and
Mra) Coffman and their family. The death
of Mr. Coffman not only removes one of
the most ' genial and popular men of the
younger aet, but temporarily withdraws his

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.
