The Courier is a candidate for the
title of official or an of the Womens'
clubs of Nebraska. Of coursi possess
ing the title The Courier would devote
a large space to the resorts of clubs,
especially in this state. The editor
would also seek to establish relations of
correspondence between herself and
the state sojretsries of federations in
other states. Under the direction of
the Nebraska president of the state
federation she would seek to aid the
president by printing any communica
tions to tho clubs of the state, which the
board deems expedient. Tho oflicial
organ should be in sympathy with, rnd
'willing to take advice from tli9 execu
tive oflicers of the 6tate federation.
The officers labor without pay, they try
unceasingly to do the duties they were
elected to perform, and they should
have the support of every part and mem
l)3r or the federation.
The editor of The Courier real'zas
that from the vantage point of their
position and experience in club work the
president and executive board have a
clearor idea than an isolated momhpr of
the requirements of all the members of
the clubs of tho statoj For
eon editorial critic:sm of the policy of
the administration should bo tampered
by the consciousness of lack of knowl

other weekly papers which a9pire to the

state federation are obvious on examina
tion. Excluding the patent sides sf the

times as much composition as that

Mrs. B. M. Stoutenborough, tho presi
dent of the state federation, is one of the
busiest women in the sta'o. Besides
multitudinous duties in keeping her own
household she has club duties galore,
and church duties as many. Her Bible
class in the little brick Prcsbjterian
church at Plattsmouth is one of her pet
enjoyments. She devotes much time
and thought to this work and her class
is as a unit in proclaiming her the Le-t
teacher that ever lived. A r other one of
her pat promulgations is her Boys' His
