St. Mattthws was first, and St. John second; so the members of St. James and Simon Peter served the former two their refreshments at the church last Monday night, as the amount they secured was less than the others, but all enjoyed themselves who were there on that evening. The rain on last Friday night prevented a number of people from going to Burn's M. E. church to see the members of St. Mattthws club present "Over the Hill to the Poor House."

There has al Ways yeea great dificulty to get at the “farms” although the society recog: alzes the great evils and In some 1n- stances believes great crimes have been committed in « cold blooded and deliberate manner. The dificulty to get witneases has been the great draw- back or the “farms” could be broken up under the existing laws. Girls have been known time'and again to suffer great cruelties and to have wit: nessed questionable procedures but were at the “farms” for the purpose c! covering up their own faults and 0 refused to testify in court. It 18 mow proposed to aak the next legislature for a law placing all the “farms” in tbe state under ihe rigid supervision of the board of control. ‘The board already bas supervision and Inspection of private asylums, This would force the owners of the insti tutions to conduct them in the best manner. The local society has at times had trustworthy Information of what was believed outright murder of undesirable children but, lacking evi dence to prosecute, has been helpless. It is commonly ‘belleved that _at some “farms” children many times are immediately after birth exposed to the cold till they are chilled and it is claimed that after the death of the child, which {s sure to follow, there is no manner of telling the cause of death. Children, it is sald, are given almost no care’ from the time they are bora and the owners of the homes have bea known to follow both the mother and father of the child for years with blackmailing, extorting gums of money limited only to the ability of the parties to pay and the smount of anziety to keep the matter covered up. ‘The mothers of the babes willing to suffer anything rather than be exposed submit to all kinds of cruel treatment and at one place in the city it is said they frequently suffer physical vio- lence. ‘The bables instead of being riven to the best families are more frequently given to families not in the least proper to bring up children. Heretofore the only weapons in the hands of the Humane soclety has been publielty and this bas been used on every possible occasion.

Address all communications for these columns to the department address, Mrs. Henrya Poe, President of the Iowa State Federation, 711 Bashaw Street, Ot amawa, Iowa. A portion of annual address deliver- ed at Madison Downey, president of Iowa Federation at Davenport, May 26, 1903 With the record of the year in mind I feel a thrill of pleasure in being permitted to address you again in convention assembled, for we have reason to believe that our efforts to extend to unify and render efficient the work of this federation have borne fruit. *During the year that has passed the rhythm of harmony has ever been with us.* There can never be a time when individuals can all think alike, but there can be with us at all times a desire for equal justice. There can be with us generous forbearance and the effort to forget self and work together to achieve the glory of the grand cause for which we have needed our support. The Iowa Federation is a part of that great movement that has christened the new century, the woman century get the new woman, for there really isn't any new woman, she is the same old girl after all, who has know when to take occasion by the hand and make the bounds of freedom wider yet, and grasp the skirts of happy chance and breast the waves of circumstance. Our Federation is but twelve months old; through the the efforts of the Ida Wills Club of Ottawa the Iowa State Federation of Afro-American women was organized May 26, 1902, and not with a silver spoon in its mouth but we trust it will live long and prosper. We began in 1901 with several clubs, six literary and philanthropic, one needlework club. We now have fifteen clubs. These clubs are working along many lines of thought, but whether working along ethical, intellectual or social lines the same underlying idea is present, the same purpose is manifest the betterment of the race. We have mapped out a great work, we must now give our time to carrying out the details. You all know this more difficult than conceiving of the plan, for with the details come discontinuations. It is impossible to be inspired with the breadth of vision necessary to overlook the discouragements of the moment and keep ones thoughts fixed on the great end to be accomplished. Our plan of work is an excellent one. It has been difficult however to carry it out so as to divide the work equally over the state. Principally on account of over lack of knowledge of the women and their fitness for certain places. But as we come together year after year we shall gain in two ways; we shall learn to do our work with system and we shall become acquainted and know who are the women that have time and inclination for certain lines of work. A spirit of good will and friendship has existed between the officers of the Federation. And I hope that all successive executive boards will have as happy a term of office as has been in the period of our tenure. The board held a meeting in Muscatine April 9, there was much business transacted and there was ever manifested an earnest desire to advance the interest of the Iowa State Federation. The administration has tried to carry out faithfully the policy of the Federation as indicated by lines of work adopted at last meeting. There was appointed at last meeting three standing committees—Educational, Social Parity and Domestic Science. While the initial work of the committees have been comparatively slow, yet I think we have succeeded in laying a good foundation that will assure ultimate success. We have a Reciprocity Bureau whose duty it is to keep Federation literature, such as programs, calendars, constitution, etc; to acquaint clubs with one another, to exchange club papers, to furnish on application letters of introduction to club member visiting where there are Federated clubs, in short to establish itself a bureau of general helpfulness. The Board secured a space in the BIRKENBERG, for which we have reason to be proud and thankful. For in this way the state has been covered, practically and a greater number of people have been reached in this way than any other. Our Executive Board is composed of the seven general officers of the Federation and they need the loyalty and co-operation of every club in the Federation and every woman in the clubs. The communications sent out by them and the committees should be respond, to promptly by your corresponding secretary, the recommendations they offer should be considered by your club in open session and whenever possible accepted and acted upon. I plead for my successors and succeeding committee promptness in answering all communications; they are not designed for the waste-basket. It is by the observance of this obligation that we can benefit each other. So much has been said in print and oral, about the "showin and pushin" practiced by club members to carry themselves into office, that I am compelled to say a few words along this line. But in the matter of selecting officers we have not entirely risen above the thought, that our own personal friends are the best fitted for the offices. Too often they are the least qualified. In the selection of officers the master of personal friendship should not enter in and all other consideration, save that of adaptability, should be eliminated. We should never subject candidates chosen for office to questioning, to gossip, or worst of all to insinuations. We should rather consider them with special honor, for only in this way can we preserve the dignity of our club. The treatment national candidates receive is a disgrace to American politics. It is of such a nature that men of noble character do not subject themselves to the attacks of unprincipled opponents, by standing for office. Let us be careful that in our Woman's Club we keep far from such evil ways. I deplore woman's becoming adept in the use of political methods. I deplore wire pulling, cascading and electioneering. I lament partisanship and everything that separates us from womanliness and noble aims. The question we should ask ourselves is: Have we reason to believe that the candidate will make a good officer? We must learn to be impersonal and to consider qualifications for office without regard to individual feelings and relations. This brings to my mind the matter of "holding the tongue," as men say, "club loyalty" as we sacredly confidential as if under the oath of the Free Mason. It is the hall mark of respect and good breeding. The woman who goes out and talks of the votes and doings of a club or committee meeting has forgotten her dignity, violated her club layalty and deserves all the opprobrium she gets. And you may be sure she gets it. Let us see to it that our hearts beat true; that they beat with sympathy and love and sisterly charisey; that they beat with high hope for the future and a growing desire to helpstand not hinder the work of making the world a better place. Above all let us love one another, and not hesitate to say the loving word. Flattery is poison, but sincere approbation is a wholesome stimulant. True love never harm, it helps and ennobles. For love is the fulfilling of the law and the power of our club outside, depends on the harmony within.
