know she said yesterday and dismiss
ed the subject
She lives at Pasadena, Cal.
She ifs what is known as refOrmer
and admits it. but she is not a reformer
Her greatest regret is that she is IN
able to Immediately reconstruct the
world in general and woman IN partic-
ular.
4 believe in the freedom of woman, %
said Mrs. StetsOn, mot in political free
dom, but the economic freedom; rot
necessarily that she should be the polit-
ical equal of man, but the economic
equal-that she should be permitted to
earn the living with her husband
woman was not made to be a house
hold drudge any more than q man was.
How foolish the world IS to imagine
that a wife must necessarily be a cook
and a scrub woman; how foolish WO-
man herself is to imagine that When
she marries man, she marries him
merely to be his hOusekeeper. The
kitchen is a shop and nothing else All
other professions began at home They
have been lifted out Of 1T and classified
to themselves. But cooking has remain
ed the same through all time till now.
Women are no more fitted to do one
class of work because OF their sex than
men are.
Here is a man who is working and
earning pay He gives to the world the
work Of one and receives from the
world the living of one He marrieS and
in time becomes six or seven He still
gives the world the work of one, and
struggles to get from it the living Of the
six or seven.
why not let the woman help2 Why
not let her earn as much as the man,
and double the family income? She is
capable of it,
In too many instances the wife
though compelled by a foolish custom,
to do the cooking and the cleaning, is
incapable of it. She is not competent. If
she is earning as much as her husband
they can have their cooking and clean
ing done by a competent person; fol-
low the VOcatiOns that suit them best
and have better digestion.
II am not one that believes that Wo-
men have all the virtues and men all
the faults The angelic reputation that
by the men who really don't believe it
themselves The one superior virtue
that woman has is her patience. and
patience IS the trait of the slave. If
woman is a slave it is her own fault
There is the argument Of maternity.
which is no argumnt at all that WO-
man should stay at home as a drudge.
She can as well perform her duties as
a wife and mother in any other work
as homework. and perhaps better. for
homework often is heavy manuel Ia

WAS IN BAD COMPANY.
And Mark Hunt Now Repents in
Jail

Cora Barnes and Mark Hunt We're ar
rested by officer BAIL Saturday night
on Kansas avenue in South Topeka.
Both of them were intoxicated, but they
were charged with disOrderly conduct.
When BAIL found them they were
talking and swearing pretty loudly.
The Hunt boy, whose father is a
broom maker in Oakland, was very
penitent and sat with his hat drawn
over his eyes during the ride to the
station in the patrol wagon.
The Barnes girl was not at all put
out, however, and rather seemed to en-
joy the ride. She yelled at every
body she saw during the entire trip. A
lot OF college boys We're out riding on
a special car and she said such things
to them in a loud voice that many Of
them nearly died of shame and mOrti-
fcation.
You're no sport she said to Hunt;
put your hat on the side of your head
and be dead game"
Il hain't done nothin' to be arrested
for said Hunt.
You haven't2" she yelled. Wasn't
you caught in the company Of Cora
Barnes2 and that's enough to give you
a reputation that viii send you to -.''
Hunt was unable to give security and
was held.

from Chatham square the train ran
swiftly, then brought up with another

At last the train came to a standstill
