Are Women Abused by Men?

Are Women Abused by Men?
1t seems to be a fact that q majority
of women, married or single, believe
they are abused by the men just be-
cause the latter happen to have control
of business affairs, run politics and do
the counting.
The woman of manageable age who
is still living at home feels that men are
not doing right by her. She naturally
wants to marry, have a big wedding,

Western, as the case may be. But she
has to go on waiting because no man
asks her to join him in these festivities.
For this reason she feels that she is IN
abused creature.
The old maid who settles down to
earn her own living just hates the men,
because they allow her to wear her
finger-nails off scratching for bread.

OUR APPIAN WAY.

1t is evident a wonderful change has
come over San Francisco. 1t is but short
time ago when the best plans for munich
pal improvement and development found
very little support even in words, but now
any well-considered project not only finds
favor, but it is taken up as a matter of
practical enterprise by men who are quite
capable of carrying it to immediate com
pletion, and they never fail to find popular
support in the work.
The undertaking of the San Joaquin road
is one illustration of this change and the
proposed boulevard to San Jose is another.
The latter, however, in some respects, is
even more significant of the change than
the former, for while the San Joaquin road
has been in large measure forced upon
the people by the exactions of the South
ern Pacific, the boulevard as an enforced
enterprise is an evidence of the progressive
spirit pure and simple.
The men who have responded most cor
daily to the demand for the great drive
way are exactly those who are best fitted
to take action in regard to it and are most
likely to carry it out successfully. They
are the big property owners along the
proposed route, and include such men as

THE BUREAU OF HIGHWAYS.

The appointment by Governor Budd of
Marsden Manson of this city, R. c. Irvine
of Sacramento and ]. L. Maude of River
side as members of the Bureau of High
ways, provided for by the last Legislature,
may be regarded as the beginning of an
experiment likely to prove of great benefit
by the bureau therefore will be watched
with more than ordinary interest.
AS general rule commissions and bu-
reaus have not worked well in California
and there has been good deal of dissatis-
faction with the management of most of
them. The present bureau, however, was
created in response to widespread popu-
lar demand after full consideration of the
subject, and begins its career with more
than ordinary public favor 1t will depend
largely upon the newly appointed mem
bers whether the bureau retains this favor
or loses it; and certainly if they make
earnest efforts to retain it, they can do so,
for the work of road improvement is a
most urgent one at this time, and every
helpful influence will be felt and valued
1t is reported that in connection with the
bureau, the Governor and the State Prison
Directors intend to establish rock crush
ing plant at one or both of the State pris-
ons for the purpose of providing road ma
terial to such counties as can be reached
without too great a cost of transportation.
This is in accordance with the plan ap-
proved by the Good Roads Convention last
winter and promises good results Intact,
the assistance of the State to some of the
poorer counties might be carried even fur
ther than that of furnishing them with
cheap rock. In many of the mountain
counties the population is too scant and
too poor to construct good roads over their
rugged mountain sides; and yet if State
aid were granted and the roads constructed,
a larger and richer population would soon
be gathered there to pay taxes and adj
vance the welfare of the State as whole.
Whatever the new bureau may under
take, however, it is not to be forgotten that
its powers are limited and that for any
marked success in road improvement each
county must rely upon itself. Santa Clara

SANTA BARBARA'S PLUCK.

We envy no Californian who read the
dispatches from Santa Barbara yesterday
without feelings of sympathy and of adj
miration. The burning of the pavilion
prepared for the coming festival of flowers
on the very eve of the opening of the festi-
val could not fail to awaken keen sympa-
thy for Santa Barbara in the minds of all
who care for the prosperity of the State
while the prompt action of the managers
of the festival in raising the money for a
new building and beginning its construc-
ton within two hours after the destruction
of the first, commands the admiration of
all who have any appreciation of pluck
and enterprise.
Such courage and promptness of action
in confronting difficulties and overcoming
them are illustrations of that type of
energy we proudly claim to be distinctive
of the American. In this case the diff
culties were many. Time as well as money
was involved in the problem. 1t was not
merely that the burning of the building
involved a heavy pecuniary loss, but that
the work of decoration had been destroyed
and that the time for the beginning of the
festival was rapidly approaching.
Under the circumstances there would
have been no word of condemnation had
the people of Santa Barbara contented
themselves with spreading tent for the
festival and postponed the construction of
a new building to later date. That is the
way most cities, even in America, would
have solved the problem. 1t certainly
would have been the easiest escape from
the difficulty Santa Barbara, however,
was not seeking an escape but victory.
Her people determined to grapple with the
mischance and master it. They resolved
instantly not only to erect another pavilion,
but to make the new one statelier and more
spacious than the old. The telegraph was
set at work. Orders for decorative material
were issued and the task of the new con-
struction was begun before the flames had
died out amid the ashes of the burned
building
bound to have their reward. They have
given Santa Barbara the best advertise
ment she ever had. They have made her
known as the home of energy as well as of
beauty, and manifested to the world that
within her borders the vigor of Chicago is
nurtured amid the roses of Elysium. With
such fame as this, all the host of tourists
and pleasure-seekers in the State vii! be at
tracted to her festival. Many will wish to
see the loneliness of her flowers, and as
many more Will visit her to see the new
pavilion and pay tribute to the swift enter
prise that erected it.
