While il is a duty, and ought to be con-
sidered a privilege by those who can help
to save these unfortunate children, it is
hardly possible TO be too severe upon the
mother who is unwilling, in the first place,
10 assume those responsibilities because
maternity will interfere with her pleas
ures, who relegates her child to the chance
rearing of others. Here there is a field
for reform work that might he instituted
through mothers meetings-only 1t will
be like some other reform movements, hard
to get to the people who need it most. 1t
is always the believers who are the most
faithful in any cause; an unsolved problem
is always how to get those there who needit.
1 wonder if 1t will be in order for these
mothers to discuss some of the degenerate
ways of the buds Just out. the beauX who
fail in courtesy to their one-time hostesses
when next they meet the lady who has
given up her home that these young
people may have a beautiful time. /
wonder if they can find out where the
chivalry of men, of which we used to hear
SO much, has gone? Was that mere pre-
tense, too?
Will they take up the chaperone qIes-
ton, and decide at what age young
married woman is old enough to take care
of a lot of girls as old as she is, when
she is just as much in need Of watching
to keep her out of mischief as they?
Is the chaperone good or bad thing
for the American girl? And are we bet
ter off, our girls more respected now, with
that European attachment, than we-or
they were before the introduction of them?
Many mothers have asked themselves these
questions, and some have struck out for
liberty, saying: well, if my girl cannot
be trusted to go shopping alone, l might

THE WESTERN CONGRESS

The Trans-Mississippi Congress which is
to convene in Salt Lake City on July IA
will afford California an opportunity to
take her riehtfui position as the leader of
the great West. These congresses in the
past have not been 80 beneficial to US as
they should have been. The chief result
accomplished by them has been the i'm
provement of the harbor at Galveston,
and while that is something which has
well repaid the trouble of asserting West
ern sentiment it is time to direct the at
tention of Congress to needs further West
than the seacoast OF Texas
California at this time has several pro-
jects to advance for the welfare. not of
her people only, but of the whole country.
Among these are the establishment of q
National department of mines and min
ing, the promotion Of the enactment of a
National pure-food law. the opening of
facilities for trade with Mexico and South
America. the improvement of arid lands
and legislation which will prevent the use
of convict-made goods in competition
with manufacturers employing free labor.
None OF these things are in any sense
local. Some OF them affect the whole
Union and all of them concern every
State in the West. They can be called
Californian only because this State has
taken the lead in the movement to obtain
them and because by reason of its greater
wealth and larger population it has more
power than any other Western State to
support them in Congress.
To achieve any good work at the pro-
posed gathering in Salt Lake City for any
of these movements 1t will be necessary
for Us to send there a delegation of men
who can not only talk earnestly and con-
vlncingly, but can also act with vigor and
effect com binations and organizations
which will be strong enough to exert an
