This remarkable organization, the
Woman's Republic, founded two years
ago, and now extending from coast
fo coast, is opening to women new
opportunities and a more equal part-
nership with man in the great af-
fairs of fe. lt hus practically no
membership dues, the nominal dues
of de per week or $2 per year, being
hardly sufficient to pay the bare ex-
pense of registering the meniberships,
issuing the menibership certificates,
kecping the membership records, and
sending the Womun's Nutional Week-
ly, Une official organ of the Republic,
the subscription price of which ts
ineluded tu the nominal membership
dues. It derives ita revenuc from the
great institutions and enterprises of
its own governinental departments,
and from iis license system, under
whieh jeading inanufacturers of the
country who are lHcensed by the Re-
public, pay to it a commission or
percentage on all of their products
purchased anywhere by members of
the Republic. This percentage or
license comuission, is divided by the
Republic with tts members aa a dis-
count on their purchases and a direct
and considerable saving in the cost
of living, and its own treasury.
It is catimated that the expenditure
of the present inembershiyp of the Ke-
piblic exceeds ffty million dollars
per annum for the necessities of Hfe.
ach added member increases this ex-
penditaure., Wy directing the atream ot
these vast purchases onto the epecial-
ly Heensed products of leading manu-
facturers, through ita license system,
the manufacturer so Hcensed receives
the benefit of a consumption of his
parlicular product a8 against that of
his competitor which would otherwise
require on his part, an enormoug ex-
penditure in edyertising. As the
manufacturer pays* the license com-
mission only on the PROVEN gales
of his product to members of the Re-
public and only. members of the Re-
public, can” secure these special dia-
counts and commissions, this plan in-
sures a constantly increasing sale
of the products of the licensed manu-
Tacturers, with the rapid growth of
the Republica’ membership. The
member on the other hand, derives a
direct financial benefit in the savings
und discounts on daily purchases,
many times more than the nominal
dues of membership.
More than thirty prominent manu-
facturers have been Ncensed under
the Hepublic, each a leader tn his
Hine, and only after carcful investiga-
lion of the merits of his product. The
licensed products include more than
a hundred articles of necesaity and
daily use, frum planes to “5 Minute
Washing Compound.” As an flluatra-
tion of the working of the plan, the
purchaser of a 2% packege of “5
Minute Washing Compound,” made
m
check of
in cush jf forwarded to the secrete
of treasury, with the purchaser's
name and address written on the
hack, PROVIDED that the purchaser
is a member of the Republic, other-
wise the license check oannot be
cushed. This amounts to a discount
of 12 per cent on the purchase, to the
inember, while the Hcensed manufac-.
turer of this washing compound
cashes these license checka, each
proving the sale of a pacitage of his
compound, paving the treasurer of
the Republic 5: each. or a commis-
sion to the Republic of 8 per cent.

protection, but ft isa benefit of mem
berehip. A registration ecard is issued
fon receipt of 25 cents to cover (he
leost of registration and the protec-
tion button. A considerable number
of these uwards have been paid to
members during the past two years.
In one casc the $250 paid to the ohil-
dren of a member who was killed by
accident, was aimost the only thing
they received; while in another the
mother of a young man, & railroad
fireman, a member of the Rtepublic,
would have been left almost destitute
had it not been for the $250 she re-
ceived from headquartera on the ac-
cidental death of her son.
The Republic has undertaken and
ig successfully carrying out many
large enterprises, the activities of
each of its departments being con-
centrated into a form of chartered
corporation. Any member may be-
come a member of any of these seven
corporations or of all of them, up to
the limit of membership fixed for
each. The corporation of each de-
partment has its own separate mem-
pership fee, the payment of which
entitles the member to @ prorata
share in the profits of the corpore-
tion. A member of the Republic tak-
ing out a membership in each of the
seven corporations of the Republic,
.thereby becomes a member of the
Advisory Body of the Republic and
eligible to a cabinet position.

Mrs. McFaden Writing From Mid-
ocean Describes the Depar-
' ture from New York and
_ the Pleasures of the
Trip.
ABOARD THE STEAMSHIP
“PRETORIA,” JUNI 3.
The sailing of an ocean liner is
fraught with deep human interest. In
this respect the Pretoria was not an
exception. All was bustle and con-
fusion incident to the vessel's depar-
ture. The decks were already
thronged with outgoing pass rs
when we, the peace; ambassadors of!
the Woman's Republic, stepped from |
our taxicabs, crossed: the gang-plank |
and. entered ‘the goodship which was; |
to bear us away oaverithe sea. y '
Mr. and Mrs. E. G, Lewis, together |
with many other friends were there
to-see us off. Mr. Lewis working like;
a Trojan to be sure that every piece!
of baggage was on board and that ev_!
erything was arranged for our con. |
fort and pleasure. : |
The leave-taking of ocean voyagers |
are not experiences of unalloyed de-|
light, therefore *we will not dwell up-
on them, but soon. “good-bye and bon

Lings © at ily er, and escorted
e tugs passed out
i
cby busy, ‘puffing littl
of the harbor and turned her nose to-
ward the open sea.
A drizzling rain owas falling, but all}
stayed on deck waving farewells until!
;the “sea of upturned facés,” wistful!
eyes and fluttering flags, searfs and
handkerchiefs of friends on shore fad-
ed away in the distance. Soon the
statue of Liberty, Coney Island and
other interesting things were Jost in
the mists, and-the bugle-call announc.
ed the serving of luncheon. :
‘Here let me say that feasting is an:
important part of an ocean trip. We
have breakfast beginning at 7:30; ati
10:30 boullion is served on deck, ,
hincheon ‘at noon; coffee, tea and
chocolate at 3:30 and‘a six-course din-
ner at 6 o’clock.. . With appetites
sharpened by the wondrous tonic of
salt sea breezes we are always ready
to do ample justice to the chef who
presides over the department of the
interior. The Pretotia was in gala
dress when she left New York. There
were flowers, flowérs everywhere,
which made the ladies’ cabin and the
main dining toom bowers of bloom and
beauty.

ing and tumbling and plunging in a
perfect revel of mad delight. At an
early hour we sought our berths and,
“rotked in the cradle of the deep,”
we slept Hke tired children upan the}
pulsing bosom of the \mighty Atlan-
ic.
Thursday morning this message, by
wireless, came winging over the dis-
tance:
“God speed you aH.’ —Lewis,
Iam sure God ig specding us, for
,our lines are falling In pleasant places,
and we are receiving every courtesy,
every consideration we could expect or
desire, while best of all the sweet
‘aplrit of harmony prevails within our
own ranks. Indeed, Mrs. William
Grant Brown voiced the sentiment of
the entire embassy when she sug-
gested that the first disgruntled wom-
an amongst us be “thrown over-
board.”
Several of our party have paid un-
willing tribute to the sea, but the. oth.
era, including the writer, have proven
excellent sailors and have not been re)
at all.
Friday evening Dr. Beiva Lockwood, ct
Dean of the Embasgy, called a meet-
ing of the Ambassadora at which she
presided. After the reading of the
123d psalm and a word of prayer by
Rev. Edith’ Hill-Booker, Dr. Lockwood
read a letter from Alfred EH. Love, ex-
President Universal Peace Union, Ex.

A Glimpse of
Picturesque’ “Boda Pesth "
BY MILDRED 6. McFADEN.
The ambagsador’a party reached
Vienna, en route to Buda Pesth, after
an all-night ride In comfortable gleep-
ing compartments which are, how-
ever, very unlike our own. In fact,
European railroad travel and rall-
road equipment are altogether differ-
ent from that of the United States.
As I indicated in my Berlin letter,
there is much over here that we
might copy to advantage, but it fa not
in the Wine of transportation. The
roadbeds themselvsz seem to'be very
substantially laid, but the gmall en.
gines and “the high wheels of the
caachés remind one of pictures seen
when railroading was in ite infancy.
They seem to me an argument against
governmental control af such utill-
ties, for competition is eliminated,
and without competition there jg not
that incentive toward improvement,
elegance and luxurlousnesg which
have made our great overland trains
palaces awheel and travel itself a
comfort and @ joy. This is, however,
by the way.
Arriving at the Continental Hotel,
for which we were booked, we found
& delicious breakfast’ spread for us
on one of the verandas surrounding
a court made attractive by flowera, |
Vines and leafy trees. TYere during
the evening meal a good orchestra
discoursed aweet music, and, in honor
of the ambaesacors, the program {n-
cluded “America,” and “The Stare

Sousa. Wating in the open air ig, ag

Buda Pesth.--By Seating Mrs. William Grant Brown, one of the seventeen ambassadors of the
Woman’s Republic, as a duly accredited delegate to the seventh Congress of the International Woman
Suffrage Alliance, world-wide recognition was given to the Woman’s Republic.
Twenty-two countries were tepresented at the congress by international delegates and fraternal
delegates were extended courtesies only as separate organizations. The Woman’s Republic ambassa-
dor, however, was admitted to full membership privileges upon the same basis as international delegates.
Bach nation was entitled to twelve delegates, but fraternal delegates were not allowed to vote, conse-
quently the granting of full privileges of the floor to the Republic was a signal victory for this organi-
zation, of which Mrs. Mabel G. Lewis of University City is president.
The Woman’s Republic was represented by the follpwing ambassadors: Mrs. Ida L. Frint, Dr.
Emma Wing-Thompson, Mrs. Mildred 8S. McFaden, Mrs. Kathryn Heaton Peck, Mrs. M. E. Jenkins, Mrs.
William Grant Brown, Rev. Edith Hill-Bocker, Miss Minnie E. Neal, Dr. Clara C. Austin, Mrs. Elizabeth
M. Ridley, Miss Ida Bernhard, Miss Edity lL. Davis, Mrs. Alice Dean Schneider, Dr. Belva A. Lockwood, K—
Mrs. Zana Goodin and Mrs. Mattie O. Pepler. This was the largest foreign delegation which attended
the congress and attracted great attention, The ladies comprising the ambassadorial delegation were re-
cipients of numerous courtesies during their stay in the city and were guests of honor at several func-
tions. ,
When the question of electing a president was taken up, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York,
president of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, begged the congress to select another for the
place. She contended that the presidential office should be held for but one term. Because of the feeling
against the militant tactics employed by English sufffagists, it was seen that the only way out of the
dilemma was to re-elect Mrs. Catt, which was done, the vote being by acclamation. !
Several delicate questions arose during the progress of the convention, and in every instance Mrs.
7
Catt displayed such good tact that the storms soon blew. over.
During Thursday’s session two English women, Mrs. Ann Cobden-Sanderson and Mrs. Charlotte
Despard, created a disturbance by their advocacy of militant tactics. They delivered fiery speeches
and protested against their exclusion from the floor. They were fraternal delegates, and as such were
not allowed the privilege accorded regular delegates. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, at the conclusion of a pep-.
pery address by Mrs. Despard, stood up and cheered the British militants. But Mrs. Catt showed her
mastery over the gathering and she soon had perfect order restored.
Mrs. Brown, Dr. Belva Lockwood and other ambassadors of the Republic are loyal and ardent
supporters of Mrs. Catt. . . ;
Among the five new members elected to the board of officérs is Mrs. Stanley R. McCormick of
Chicago. .
"Por the purpose of establishing an international headquarters . for the alliance the congress
raised $12,750, the greater part of the sum being sybseribed.by the American and ‘British delegates.
A proposition was made to-establish an international press bureau, but because the matter was
|proposed by an English delégate‘the continental thembers voted against it and it was defeated.
"Resolutions were adopted. by the congress requesting all governments to institute an interna.
tional investigation into the white slave traffic., .
Mrs. Catt managed to bring the congress to @ close without permitting a division over the plans
of campaign adopted. — ;
_ The closing session, June 20, was taken up largely in the discussion of international headquarters
and the removal of the official organ, Jus Suffragi, from Rotterdam. The matter was left to the board
of officers. The selection of the next place of meet!4@ was also left to the board, which probably wie
decide to accept the invitation of the German delegates | to meet in Berlin. oo
