Choose New President. ‘While the delegates were busy register- ing the nominating. committee was busily engaged in selecting a candidate for the presidency of the federation. Some months ago the name of Mrs. Lovell White was proposed for the presidency, but she positively declined to act. It was said that the vote taken by some of the clubs on the question of admitting dele- gates from the clubs composed of colored ‘women caused this action, but Mrs. White declined to state ner reasons. She re- mained firm in her determination not to serve. The committee was in session for sev- eral hours and finally selected Mrs. Kate Bulkley, president of the Ebell Society of Oakland. Her nomination was agree- abiy received by those members of the federation who were apprised of the ac- tion of the committee. Mrs. Bulkley has long been an active worker in women's clubs ana stands high in the councils of the federation. As soon as the doors were opened for the afternoon session the floor, which was reserved for delegates and club members, rapidly filled. The gallery was thrown open to visitors and every seat was taken, a few gray-bearded men being conspicuous among the spectators. A few minutes_before the opening hour Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, the president, escort- ed Mayor Schmitz to the stage. The fol- lowing officers were grouped about the Mayor and president: Vice president, Mrs. Lovell White: record- ing secretary, Mrs. I. Lowenberg; correspond- ing secretary, Mrs. Willlam W. Stilson; treas- urer, Mrs. Solomon Jewett; auditors—Mrs. G. J. Bucknall, Mrs. A. E. Frost. District vice presidents—Mrs. John Russ, Alameda. district; Miss EMen Thompson, Los Angeles district Mre, Willlam Beckman, northern district: Mrs. Estelle Langworthy, San Diego district; Mrs. R. H. Stevens, San Joaquin district. Sfate ‘corresponding secretary of General Federation, Mrs. Herman H. Kerchoff. Mayor Extends Welcome. Mrs. Burdette called the meeting to or- der promptly at the appointed moment and Mrs. I. M. Condit of Oakland deliv- ered the invocation. After a 'cello solo by Paul Friedhofer, assisted by Miss A. Sugel, the president introduced Mayor Schmitz, who spoke as follows: Ladies of the Federation of Women's Clubs and Friends: 1 have never before been called upon to address so many ladies at one time, In my brief official career one ata time has usuaily seemed an ample sufficlency. But one can, never have too much of a good thing, and_ therefore, without the terror which would, under the circumstances, seem the nat- ural accompaniment of the situation, I welcome L e e ol ) To-Morrow Morning Mr. Seth Williams will be pleased to see you at the Bee Hive Shoe Co., 717 Market street. Everybody is welcome to a pa'r of shoes that has been made to be sold at $3.50 for $1.85 for either men or women. The assortment is large: They are the highest grade. It is simply a money sav- ing proposition for you. Surely it can't be too much trouble, particularly when you can save $1.65 on one pair of shoes at the Factory Shoe Sale, 717 Market street, near Third, ». o o -3 NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF WOM- EN’S CLUBS AND SCENE IN GOLDEN GATE HALL AT OPENING OF FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTI #N OF THAT ORGANIZATION. ol you boldly and with open arms in the name of ihe people of San Francisco, and amid the good wishes of the intelligent citizenship of the en- tire State of California. 1 tender you the keys and freedom of the city, this city g0 emblematic of liberty and equality, which breathes the cosmopolitan spirit of equal rights to all and speclal privileges to none. Beyond this naught is left to offer you, for our hearts and good will are already yours and no longer ours to give. As Mayor of this great city, queen of the Western world, 1 welcome you. I greet you not only as the chief executive of her people, but also as an individual strongly interested in the development of the equality of the sexes in_their legal rights. 1 welcome you not only as the women of our day, our mothers, our wives and our sisters, but’also as the representatives of the future of our race, when men and women shall be considered of absolutely equal standing before the law, and shall be judged only by their equal merits and their equal achievements. 1 am of those who have not only love but faith, not only hope but certainty, in the event- ual recognition of woman's equality in every walk and sphgre of practical life, and, with The magority of thinking and thoughtful men, I see in the horizon of the East the dawn of the day when the burdens and the pleasures of Jife shall be equally shared, and the duties and Tesponsibiities, the privileges and the libertles of human existence shall be divided fairly and justly between the sexes, as their property Tights, their education, intelligence and social standard may warrant. This convention of the Women's Clubs of California is the rosy fingered child of the morn, whose radiant light shall shed a luster over the doings of the men and women of our State to the bettérment of both, and to the elevation to an equal plane of those who by arrogation of right and by custom we have been prone to consider the weaker sex. ‘Woman’s Part in Politics. There is in my mind no more reason Why an intelligent American citizen of education and refinement, woman though she be, should not have in the affairs of our civilization, govern- mental and commercial, as well as social, at least an equal right with the ignorant and the debased of the opposite gex. I am not, com- mitted absolutely to the doctrine of woman's suffrage and her equal political rights, not be- cause of any fear that she will not prove equal to the responsibility but because 1 have not given to the question consideration sufficlent to enable me to determine definitely whether or mot are true the only arguments on this subject which have ever appealed to the consid- erate man of the world, namely, the selfish suggestions that the busy actlvities of political life will detract from our home life its main attractiveness and beauty—will remove the sentimentalism of our existence—and, placing man and woman on the same political basis In the rivalry of life, will lower the spiritualism of woman to the materialism of man rather than elevate the tendencies and inclinations of man to the present plane occupled by the gen- tler sex. Of course, there are men whose con- stant contact with the world and with the rougher edges of society have not dulled their sentiment or deadened their spirits, and, of course, there will always be women of similar type and character, but the general question is one of evolution and of progress rather than of immediate and spontaneous solution, and its de- velopment may well be left to such hands and hearts and heads as are now before us. 1 am sure that the State and the nation can sately confide to its women the working out of this problem. To those who are intrusted the care, nurture and education of its children, to those whb have ever been called upon to support and sustain its men, the country may surely leave the eventual disposition of these questions. Evolutions in Conditions. It was different once. When women were the slaves of men, their beasts of burden, their toilers without hope or faith or light, not much could be, expected of them whom they served. They were not fitted for the dutles of 1ife, they could not assume its responsibilities. It would have been a crime against their dependent ex- istence, and a crime against soclety and social evolution, against the future of the race, to have given them participation in the affairs of men, in the government of their people, in the establishment of a civilization. They were merely the instrumentalities of man’s progress, a lower order in the kingdom of animal life, But as the race developed and woman by her love and faith and her immortal aspiration gradually gained the respect and the esteem of the sterner sex, as the home became the cen- ter of attraction, and the family the center of social existence, as the schoolhouse arose and education became diffused among men and women, as science and’arts expanded and.es- tablished and controlled the elemental forces and mede men’s burdens lighter, woman was accorded a little leisure and an opportunity for obtaining mental equipment; and the progress of civilization and of literature and of social Qevelopment fs marked by the advancement of the standing of woman in the view of man, ‘We glory in her advance, not alone because of theoretical admiration, but because she has raised the rest of mankind with her. To you who are here it is unnecessary to re- count her victorles in the sweeter lines of life, in literature and in art, nor her triumphs in the practical professions of medicine, of law L i e i T ) Only Reliable Coal Dealers Sell Tesla Briquettes, $0 per ton.

Tongues a hundred times more eloquent, minds a hundred times more thoroughly trained to adeguate description, have again and again paid loyal and affectionate homage to the deeds i 3¢ _the sex. I can but feebly voice my concurrent appre- tion of their tributes and utter the sin- ere hope that the deliberations of this coun- cil will result in a better understanding, a sin- rere appreciation, a more advanced achieve- ment of the work Which you have placed before you. In the name of all good citizens of Califor- sia, as the representative of the loyal and lib- srty-loving men and women of San Francisco, ' once again I bid you welcome—welcome, good luck and success. Greetings From Others: Mrs. Louis Weinmann, vice president of the San Francisco district, followed the Mayor and spoke of the growth of the federation. She said that the federation did for the club what the club did for the woman and urged greater -cohesion and anity, because each one might be both a teacher and a pupil. The respopse to the address of welcome was made by the president, Mrs. Robert J._Burdette, who spoke as follows: Kindly words of welcome, graciousiy given, always fall most pleasantly on the ear of the sojourner within strange gates, but if the spo- ken word was all it might prove to be the source of later disappointment. But you have spoken the word of promised welcome to the eye before speaking it to the heart. In all the details of arrangements that have met us from the moment we crossed the bay or came in from the mountains and valleys to this city of clubs and homes—to this comfortable, at- tractive hall, with its carefully thought out preparations, welcome has spoken to us on every hand, Surely you have carried out the spirit of Shakespeare, and more, when he wrote, “‘Sir, you are very welcome to our house; it must ap- pear in other ways than words.”” ’And yet we would not have the words omitted, for with them comes the expression of soul that can never be put into ‘‘things.” ““Welcome.” Maglc of humanity and divin- ity in the loving, gracious word. “Welcome.” It is a home-light streaming at the wayside, a pathway of light from the dark and lonesome highway to the cheery com- fort and loving companionship around the hearthstone, and whether it be the gleam of the candle in the cottage window shining out clearer and fainter that the glory of the d tant star, or the radiance of a thousand chan- daliers flooding the darkness from a_ hundred palace windows, both proclaim _with equal warmth, velcome.” *‘A hundred thousand welcomes are; no_more than one “Welcome.” The word Is music even when uttered by the harshest volce. It interprets itself in all languages. How pleasantly then does it echo itself in our hearts when spoken by voices that ring true and clear as a silver bell with sincerity and affection and framed in a language made sweet to us forever by our_mother's, voice. “Welcome.”” What response can be made to this countersign of hospitality by guest or wayfarer save to hold out both our hands with open palms—to meet and cling to the loving hand-clasp that is sister to the word? Growth of Federation. We meet to-day for the first time as a thor- oughly organized body. When we met in Los Angeles two years ago and it was my privilege to extend the word of,welcome we wWere for the most part a company.of strangers. What 1 prophesied then has come true. We have Jooked straight into one another's faces, and through the eyes down into the mind and soul, until, reading there honesty of purpose, can- dor of difference and unity of ultimate aim, We can and do call each other friend. As of 0ld, when they went up to the temple to pray, 8o we have come to call down upon our- selves the blessings of larger friendships and the continued growth through breadth of out- look, of purpose, of association of work that “loyes neighbor as thyself,”” but no more. tudents In soclal science tell us that the promotion of human sympathy is the moral force most needed to-day, This is but another tes for reciprocity and that is the funda- mmt;l theory of federation. I hope the key- note of every session of this meeting will be “ireciprocity,” give and take, always in the spirit of true helpfulness. And the thought of Teciprocity must not be limited to those Who are ‘‘of us.' We are here to consider new methods and larger plans. And nothing should claim our more serious consideration than the needs of the women and children of this State that we, as women In organization, can b help- ful to. 'Consclously or unconsciously your pro- gramme committee has invited you to share fn a programme which trends to this one thought. In seeking a subject or cause that ‘shall be the unifying one for all the States in general federation they, too, must come to this subject of motherhood and childhood that alway and alway is dear to the thought and heart and ife of women. 5 Opportunity for Work. ‘With more insane women in our State in proportion to its population thar in any other in the Union—with g larger percentage of prop- erty in the hands omen than in any other State and women who know not their property rights—wlith thousands of school children in the large citles of the State unprovided with schoolroom ~ accommodations and therefore | ¥i¥s Temedy that cures & cold in one dax Mrs. Robert J. Burdette Tells of Advancement of Woman'’s Federation needing special care, there is large opportunity to_choose where the work shall be. - Belleving in the sincerity of our purpose your city, through you, the honorable Mayor, has extended its cordial greetings and I thank you for them. We hope so to imoress our- selves upon your community that all good men shall court our helpfulness and strength in all reforms that strive to lift higher moral stand- ards to protect the home; and. that bad men will fear the power of our organized force when through influence and public opinion we shall say we must have pure homes, clean life, clean politics, pure religion and the millennium coming down the road to meet us. Our gracious lady of the Golden Gate, In the name of your 7000 sisters, I thank you again and again for your cordial hospitalizy. It is worthy of your great name and your greater self and there can be no higher praise than this. You do not count the sunlit waves of the blue Pacific that kiss your feet. No more do you think of numbering the dimpled smiles that never weary of making sunshine for your guests, nor do they pause nor think to measure the gifts that pour like flooding rains from out your bounteous hands. The open door waiting our entrance—the gn- tertainment provided for our pleasure and respite—the every requirement of our neces- sities met before the asking—the kindly, sin- cere, open-hearted hospitality, echoes and re- echoes your welcome to us. Surely we can say the lines have fallen to us in pleasant places. Must Help One Another. As women of California we must find in each other reflected the strength, integrity and self- poise of our own mountains—the sweetness and overshadowing charity of our own blue skies— the life-purifying purpose of the salt waves of our mighty Pacific, and our hearts already whisper to us that brighter and sweeter than all our roglest anticipations will be our so- journ in the city of San Francisco and the crown of all is that the love of women is sweet to the hearts of women, and so holding your hands as you greet us, our hearts breathe the song of Frank Stanton: “‘Earth green and the blue sky above you, And rivers that ripple your name, And a soul that is singing ‘I love you' And dust take the red leaves of Fame! For a touch that is tender and human Is more than all glories that gleam, And the peautiful love of a woman Sets life to the song of & dream. Let us dream! Let us dream! Let us dream!"” ‘Words of fraternal welcome were re- ceived from the Woman’s Christian Tem- perance Union by the following named: Mrs. Sturtevant Peet, San Francisco Council of Women; Miss Josephine Foster, Women' Press Club; Mrs. Mary Jewett, Women's Aux- iliary of California Ploneers; Miss Nettie Boyd, San Joaquin Valley Federation; Mrs. W. B. Harrington, California Red Cross; Mrs. Anna Wright, Colonial Dames; Mrs. Wood, Women's | Suffrage Association. Letters and telegrams_were receivad from the following named: Mre. Mary E. Merrill' of the San Francisco Red Cross, Mrs. Genevieve Baker of the Na- tive Daughters of the Golden West, Mrs. A. O. Granger, president of the State Federation of Georgia; the State Federation of Oregon, the Young Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Daughters of the American Revolution.
