What Was Done for Woman by the
Legislature Recently Adjourned.
Editor Womdn'S Column, Morning Call /:
After each Legislative session there is add
ed to California laws an octave of several
hundred pages. That showing the work OF
the last Legislature is just out and it is a
good thing for people subject to those laws
10 know what they are. Americans are Pc
culiar; they have profound respect for law

lieve 1t legal. American women, if edu-
Gated, know about English and French gov

of Menu. OF Lycurgus, of Scion. of Egyp-
tian law, the Code Napoleon, but they take
no interest in the laws that govern them
selves that fix the legal and, to most the
only standard of right and wrong. Men do
the voting and most of the huTrahing, but

the codes of their State. Queer peoplel Ap-
preparations and the reform ballot law
represent most OF the work, but women
were not entirely overlooked, and ought to
have all interest in the legislation that con-
Germs them. They all know that a law was
passed prohibiting the sale Of liquor TO
minors, also one to prevent the sale OF cigar
cites to youths under sixteen, but
THE LAWS
That give women power are far more i'm
pOrtant, because they work toward a cOnsti-
tuency that wants good laws enforced. The
best law is null and void in the hands Of

good law. The laws in regard to women
have changed little, and not for the worse
Section 1870, Civil Code, is amended: "a
married woman may be appointed admins

her authority" The old idea that "pan
