GAGE MAKES FOES
OF WOMEN FOLK
Denies Them the Right
to Vote.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, April 3.-When the
Governor pocketed the bill providing
that women be allowed the franchise
in educational matters he destroyed his
popularity with the fair sex of Los
Angeles. AS the matter cannot be
brought to an issue again for two years
the women who labored for the law and
the many men who expressed approval
question Cages judgment.
Mrs. M. E. Threlkeld, an earnest ad-
vocate of the principles embodied in the
bill, expresses regret that the Cover
nor could not see it's value.
'In Kansas" she said, the Legisla-
ture passed bill permitting women to
vote for school directors. l can say
from personal knowledge it was the
best thing for the schools. Women on
the school board do well. They always
pay more attention to the sanitary con-
di' ons of the schools than do the men"
RS. c. B. Bradfield, drawing super
intendent of the Los Angeles schools,
and Mrs. Gertrude Pan son, special
teacher Of music in the city schools, ex-
pressed the belief that the bill ought
to have been signed. The schools
would be benefited by the measure
They say the matter should have re-
CeiVed greater attention than to be sub
jected to the treatment accorded by the
Governor.
1T would have been good thing
without a doubt" said Professor James
A. F'oshay. Il have seen the expert
ment tried in the East. 1t would have
worked to the perfect satisfaction Of
everybody concerned. If women vote
for school directors the board is kept
out of politics. From experience I say
women use good judgment in these
matters. 1t is to be regretted the Gov

Flood Danger Is Past.

WOODLAND, April 3.-Further danger
from flood water is not expected. There
is considerable water in Sycamore Slough
but there is very little on the farming
land in District 10S, and that little will
soon be removed. At knights Landing
the river fell two and a half inches Sun
day night. 1t now stands IA feet 91s
inches. At the Woods break the water
has receded about two feet and more than
a foot and half is now running out into
the basin. The water in the basin is re-
ceding rapidly. If all the breaks on the
Yolo side had been open during the big
spring freshet, grainfields in the vicinity
of Swingle station that now look well
would be three feet under water and
ruined, and a large district in Solano
County that is still safe would be devas-

some Slavonian, about 25 years old. has
disappeared from Gilroy, leaving behind
a score or more of creditors. Paul worked
as a cook at the Star Restaurant. Early

work. he donned his new Easter suit and
hired a horse and buggy from F. Fitzger-
AIDS livery stable. He said he was going
fishing.
on Friday and Saturday Cupola went to
several of his friends and acquaintance
and borrowed various sums ranging from
81 to 500. 1t is estimated he obtained over
800 in this way. On Saturday night H. r.
Eschenburg left a sack containing 1893 10
with Paul for safe keeping. This Cupola
took with him.
AS night came on his employer grew
suspicious. The officers in adjoining towns
were notified by telephone. The rig was
located in jacksonville, where Cupola had
left it, paying for nights feed. He told
the jacksonville stable man he was going
to Santa Cruz. 1t is supposed he went to
Santa Cruz and either boarded a steamer

Of 100000 people in these islands,
do not think that he has more than
10000 soldiers, and in square fight
5000 Americans would tear them to
pieces. All that is necessary to crush
them out at once is for the army to get
at them and keep at them until the
work is done.
THE evil features of these islands
have been exaggerated TO our people.
Their extent is so great from north to
south and the variation of altitude is
such that there is a great variety of
climate and variety of productions
Americans will find this an excellent
field for their energies, and THE wealth.
producing powers of these islands un-
der American influence will be very
great.
"lhe action of some people in the
United States in asserting that the
people of the Philippines ought to
have independence does a great deal of
harm, ,Sand assists Agulnaldo in main
tanning the insurrection, as he pub
fishes all assertions by Americans of
chat character and he tells his sup
porters that if they hold out till win
ter independence will be given them.
1T also has a bad effect in this
chat people who are disposed to be ia
vorable TO us and who desire us to
govern the islands fear to assert them
selves because they know that, if they
should do SO and the Americans should
abandon them, they would be in great
danger of their lives and, in all prob
ability, their property would be con-
fsticated."

A Definition of a Gentleman.

The term gentleman" always repre-
sents ung total sum of few qualiflca-
tions which experience has proved to
be most useful in the actual state of
social life, and today it represents
qualifications that, upon the whole,are
not natural artistic qualifications.
There are those who will refuse to ad-
NIT that the conception Cf what gen.
tleman is varies with different epochs
and conditions. They will assert that
the gentleman of a thousand years ago
of a hundred years ago, is gentleman
of today, and will be one tomorrow.
As to large matters of ethics and con-
duct, yes; as to minor matters of be-
havlor, no. We decide that a man is a
gentleman by the manner in which he
wears" in daily existence; in its hap
hazard and promiscuous companion
ships and situations. And social life
at present is an international affair.
Its interests are not confined to the
limited stages where they would form

er extended surfaces. The gentleman
Of today, therefore, in the individual
who bests adapts himself to prevailing
circumstances by not stopping the gen.
eral flow of things with an intrusion,
when net strictly necessary, of his own
personality. He is the individual who
puts no oyer-sensitive valuation of his
personal standards, interferes little
with others, has the silent courage OF
his cwn conduct, but no itch to ex-
plain it, or himself, or to impose either
on a preoccupled world that has nc
time to attend and less patience. This
in any case, may pass as a definition
of the social side of what the Anglo
Saxon calls a gentleman; and as the
