The White Ribbon: FOR GOD AND HOME AND HUMANITY Friday, May 15 1903. Personal.

The chief editorial chair has been occupied for eight years by one so uniquely fitted for the position by natural endowment and by wide experience that we need scarcely say that it is with much of fear and trembling that the newly-appointed Editor takes up her task. Still, it is always well to have the standard set high, for however far one may fall short of reaching that standard, a higher mark will certainly be attained than would be possible were the aim low. Our readers will ail rejoice to know that as her associate the Editor has been so fortunate as to secure the services of Miss Jessie Mackay, whose name is so well known in literary circles, and whose article on Barmaids, which appeared in our pages a few r months since, has been so highly appreciate.! by tiie New Zealand unions. It will be the constant endeavour of the present Editors to maintain the broad view which the White Ribbon has always taken of women’s duties and responsibilities. To this end we ask the kind co-operation of our readers, whether members or not of the W.C.T.U.
