The following comment on the recent jeting of the California Federation of nmen's clubs by a woman corresoond-t corresoond-t to the Los Angeles Times will be interest to Salt Lake club women: The state convention of Women 's , -flubs, which closed its sessions yes- flterriay at Riverside, while it lacked particularly spectacular features. which so frequently occur in like gatherings, gave strong emphasis j)o one or two points in olub -work xbii'h loom large just now before '"'nHt'ornia "women.' First and foremost the problem Mrs. Eber W. Hall, recently elected president of the Wasatch Literary club and delegate to represent the club at the biennial meeting of the gen-oral gen-oral federation of Women's clubs in Chicago. "V; v'r i H 1 I i V 1 v 'vhV, v -V x N of politics, and how to deal with it. Whether we wished it or whether we didn't nevertheless, we women have shouldered the responsibility of citizenship. "We would plead the baby act dicf we now seek to ignore or to shirk this burden or privilege whichever we, as individuals, may consider it. We are full-fleuged full-fleuged citizens we have the power of the ballot, and if we are good citizens we mustuee it. It is a sacred duty that confronts us and we must learn the game of politics and how to play it. That women realize their inefficiency in this direction was emphasized over and yover again during the recent convention which called together some of the cleverest women from all parts of the state. Tne first note was sounded in the opening address of the president, Mrs. JT W. Orr. of San Francisco, when she uttered a note of caution against allowing the women's clubs ' of California to be drawn into politics pol-itics until the members make a further study of citizenship aud get their political poise. ''We must know definitely what we want to do with our influence now that wo have no political limitations,'' lim-itations,'' she said. 'Let us form no political affiliations, no partisanships. parti-sanships. ' ' That there is a disposition among astute politicians to use the women's clubs there can be no dou-bt. and when, you etop to con-Rider con-Rider that there are no less than 30,000 members in California each a perfectly good citizen, capable of casting a "perfectly good vote, you can imagine how much weight the suffrage of such a bodv wouJd have. Why, with concerted action, we club women could just about ' carry any state issue we took a notion no-tion to. ' The action of the Ebell club, which now has over 1-400 members, is likowise significant. Its delegates dele-gates were instructed before ieav-mg ieav-mg for the convention to vote against permitting politics to creep into the federation and, on the last day of the gatheriug, offered a resolution res-olution tiiat the convention as a whole protest against using the influence in-fluence and agencies of the state and district federations to further partisan and political interests, and that clubs work rather for the muraJ and educational movements, on which women staud practically united. But the thing that astonished me most at this convention was the very marked tone of caution used by "women who have heretofore been so keen to enter the arena of politics. Now they speak conservatively con-servatively the edge is off and their experience has made them wiser aud more careful. One woman wom-an who, perhaps, more than any other, has lobbied and labored in legislative halls in seeming joy and independence that, bespoke the most manly indifference to publio opinion, put in a plea before the convention for the sympathy and kindlv consideration for women who. like herself, have stepped out into publfc life in the work of pioneering pio-neering citizenship, and there was a note of woman)' weariness in her voice that indicated that she, too, has tasted the ashes of bitterness bitter-ness in her political experience. Politics, my sisters, is a serious fame it has the qualities of the wo-edged sword and thev who plav it must be prepared to give and" take, to accept defeat as well , as victory, aud. above all to play valuable Int. hut could not afford to build a clubhouse, so the members mem-bers turned the lot over to the town. Bonds were issued and a handsome town hall built oh it. and that woman's club was given fine headquarters with a free lease running run-ning for fifty years. The Tribune yesterday received a communication from Mrs. Gould B. Blakely, chairman of the municipal market committe of the Association of City clubs, in reference to the opening of the municipal market next Tuesday. Mrs. , Blakely urges that the consumers of the city take advantage of the opportunity op-portunity provided for them by the city commission as the result, of agitation started by the club women uf the city. Her loiter is as follr-vs: Just a final word regarding the municipal mu-nicipal market to be opened May 12 at 6 a. m. on the north side of Pioneer Pio-neer parlt. This matter was taken up by the club women of the city in response to numerous and jnslstant requests from consumers to do something toward helping in some- measure to reduce living expenses, believing that hy bringing the producer and consumer into closer relationship this might be acomplished. After due consideration, a committee commit-tee was appointed to confer with the ' city commissioners looking to the establishment of a municipal market The commissioner responded to the appeal of tho people an3 have done everything In their power for the convenience con-venience and protection of the people and producers by eotablihinK driktng fountains.' comfort Htutlonn, resting places, elc, on the north side of Pioneer Pio-neer park, employing a compotnnt i market mnnter, who has worlted with the producers who have promised to bring their goods to the people's market. mar-ket.

Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, who attended at-tended the sessions of the state convention con-vention from beginning to end, is the mother of the State federation and its first president. She had a guiding hand over its fortunes dur- . ing its formative years. Her ad- J dress on "The New .Patriotism" was one of tho features of the con- 1 vention and she was frequently heard during the discussions. One axiom that she uttered is well worth considering. "It takes three kiuda of sense to accomplish things," she said, "common sense, uncommon sense and nonsense" and someone afterward supplemented supplement-ed "dollars and cents." Mrs. Burdette contributed $100 toward the endowment fund, which has now reached a total of $6;"U0 for our state's proportion, which puts California on the honor roll. Californians are interested to know that, it is proposed by the general federation to invest this fund, which will reach well up into six figures when all of the different states shall have contributed their proportion, in southern California rent estate, the income from which will be used to defray the general federation expenses. The reports from the six different differ-ent club districts of the state as fiven by their respective presi-ents presi-ents were most interesting. In direct contrast to the large Los Angeles clubs are those of the northern district, which covers an area of twenty c nun ties in which are fifty clubs", with a total membership mem-bership of 30HO mostly small countrv clubs. The president of this district. Mrs. A. F. Jones of Oroville, reported the tremendous acuvitv of these little clubs, where evervthlng, from Bible studv and civics to 'tango classes, holds the boards. The nmount of energy and enthusiasm displayed by these small clubs scattered all over the state is remarkable. One district president cited a , case where, in a town nf 400 people, peo-ple, the woman 's club netted a fund of $405 at their last entertainment, which illustrates the tremendous interest in-terest taken in thp nrgnnizntion bv the townspeople at large.
