terror California Have to Say.
Los Angeles Times
A bill has been introduced in the Con-
necticut Legislature providing that mar
ried women whose husbands are able to
support them shall not be permitted to
work in shops. This measure is class
legislation, and would probably be in
valid if adopted. At the same time, it is
not without merit; for it is certainly
great injustice for married women with
comfortable homes to invade the labor
field, to the displacement of other work.
ers not SO comfortably circumstanced.
BIG HATS.
Oakland Times.1
In Germany and, if we are not mis-
taken, in several countries of Europe,
ladies are required to leave their
hats in the dressing-rooms of thea
ters. No hat is allowed to pro-
trude itself between the vision of
patrons OF houses of amusement of any
kind and the stage. If the proprietors of
theaters are unable to introduce this nee
essary and most desirable reform it
ought to be done by law. Bills to that
effect have been introduced in the Legis-
latures of both New York and New Jer-
sey.
THE ALIEN SECTION.
Nevada City Herald.l
Whatever the real effect of the constitu-
tional amendment regulating alien owner
ship of real estate may be, it has so far
proven a barrier to investments in min
ing property. We expect shortly to print
a letter showing wherein it proves a
stumbling block TO foreign investors.
WHAT Is THERE TO SHOW?
[Napa Register
1t is readily apparent to any one who
has Travelled over our county roads of late
that large sums of money will have to be
expended this spring to place them in
good shape. For the last thirty or forty
years there has been too much tempo
rary" work on our highways at an an
nual cost of many thousands of dollars
What is there TO snow for time, labor and
money expended?
UNIFORM LIQUOR LICENSE LAW.
lColusa Herald.
The uniform liquor license law intro
duced in the Legislature is one Of the
worst bills attempted to be foisted on the
people Of the State, but we have conf
dence that there are enough good men
unpledged to its support 10 defeat it.
ICE.
Grass Valley Tidings.1
We think that our contemporaries are
needlessly alarmed at the prospective in
jury that might be wrought by an ice
factory at Folsom in connection with the
State Prison. If bill such as the one
recently introduced is passed, and if ice
is manufactured at Folsom, our legislat-
ors would be too sensible to allow it to be
sold in open market al point below liy-
ing prices obtained by legitimate facto-
ries and natural ice companies.
CHARITY.
[Tulare Registerl
A movement has begun in porti ons of
California to send supplies to the drought
sufferers OF Nebraska, and as Califor-
mans never do anything by halves. a
liberal measure of relief NAV be ex-
pected from this State Probably a car
load or two from each county c0uId be
| forwarded, if needed, without the drain
being felt appreciably.
ANTI-CRUELTY.
ISan Jose Mercuryl
The Humane Society is to be strenoth-
ened by amendment to the laws. IT is
doing good work, and will accomnIisb
still more when it is given greater dis
cretionary power.
THE UNIFORM LICENSE BILL.
The Citrograph.l
The bill Is one that attempts to ta<e
away from all incorpo! ated cities the
power to make and enforce laws regulat-
| ing the liquor traffic. 1t makes a State
law by which licenses for liquor selling
must be granted on the payment
of S25, $50, or S75 per quarter.
and if a license is issued by the
county the city cannot impose
auotb her. The bill is bad one and will
cert ainly never pass. The whole senti-
m ent of the people is decidedly against
a ny such abridgement of the powers of
cities.
