ORDINANCE Is BAD.
City Needs One With Reference to
Assault

Judge Hazen has decided that the
city ordinance covering assault is de-
fective- The ordinance has been in use
for n any years.
Louie Charowhas. the Greek. was to
be tried at this term of the district
court as usual This time the charge
was assaulting a man named Clancy.
The Greek was convicted in the police
court under the ordinance, and appealed
the case. Judge Hazen decided that the
ordinance simply provided a punish
ment for the crime OF assault but failed
to define the offense. The only way to
determine the offense was to go back
to the statutes. and the court thought
it would be better to have a good or
dinance. The court called the attention
of the city attorney to the fact that the
ordinance was defective a couple of
years ago. but nothing was done.

WORK OF THE WORLD
All People, Rich and Poor, Should
Do Their Share of 1t.
California Judge Declares IL Is the
Duty of "a Wife TO bear Some of
the Financial Responsible
titles OF the Home.

Judge Waldo NJ. York, of Los An
geles, CAL, is not the most popular
man in southern California just now.
He has brought down wrath upon his
head by declaring from the bench
that women should have some of the
responsibility Of the support of the
family. and that the husbands failure
TO support the wife was not neces-
sarily valid grounds for divorce. This
is the judges ruling:
~ wife might easily earn enough
TO support both herself and husband.
I believe that women should bear
some of the responsibility of the sup
port of the family upon their own
shoulders. We ought all of Us to
work and do something to keep the
world going. The mere fact that this
woman and her daughter have had
to help support the family is not in
itself sufficient grounds for divorce" "
The decision which is holding first
place with the weather and other
topics of conversation, was in the di-
vOrce suit of Mrs. Flora j.. stephens
against Henry G. Stephens, which
was decided in favor of the plaintifI.
Mrs. Stephens brought action for
freedom from her husband on the
ground of cruelty and nonsupport,
and told a pitilui story.
The wife left the husband, but the
case is one which under the law con-
stitutes a desertion by him, as Ste
phens told his wife she would have
to go. They were living at the time
in East Los Angeles, and she took her
two children, who were living at
home. and left the man who had
failed to support her.
Before the Stephens family moved
to Los Angeles they resided at Po-

Bryan to the effect that he could

daily papers, hundreds saw it and
hundreds did not see the publica-
ton. Those who did not see it
asked for Major Taylor. Taylor
was the central figure; Taylor was
the man the people wanted to see.
Taylor was the great Negro that
the refined, the educated, ard the
Caucasian wanted to see. This is
the solution Of the Negro question.
When the Negro is able to do what
the white man can do he will be
upon an equal footing with him.
All that the Negro needs is q
chance, Major Taylor has demon
strated his pow rs. He has capabiI-
tiles. Although Taylor did no put

the Negro is able to do, can and

owner, then but eight years old,
wrapped in a flannel cloth and given
warm place near the kitchen stove,
mornings and evenings. Usually too
much care and fondling kills, but not
so with this chick; she thrived and
waxed fat.
When less than a year old she be-
gan contributing her share in the egg
line, and in all these years she has
outIaid any two hens in the poultry
ward. From almost the first, if the eX-
preston can appropriately be applied,
she showed a determination to be an
extraordinary hen. When her com
panions ceased to lay in the winter,
she would continue, even when the
egg would burst from freezing soon
after being deposited in the nest. Her
owner states that she has averaged 200
eggs a year, which. in round numbers,
would amount TO nearly 4,5OO eggs in
her lifetime.
For % seasons she has reared a
brood of chickens, one year two broods,
producing in all about 250 chickens. At
present she is engaged in a heroic en-
deavOr to set, but Mr.. Irvine says she
is too old 10 take the responsibility of
rearing another family, consequently
she must feel greatly misused to find
her carefully made nest filed with
stones or brickbats.
Lately Toppy has been doing thing
very unorthodoX. Since early spring
she has dispensed with a nest for lay
ing purposes, but deposits her daily
egg in anything or any place contain
ing water. Several times it has been
found in a puddle of water, and once
in a cake pan half-full of water, on the
kitchen porch. This, no doubt, is due
to her dotage and from noting the hab-
its of the domestic duck.
She is very feeble. showing all the
signs of a decrepit old woman. She
walks with great effort and it is a
mere hobb!e. She can't possibly sur
vive much longer. but, in any event, she
is. clearly the champion old hen.

mona, where the husbands neglect
of and cruelty toward his family
aroused such Indignation that the
citizens threatened to tar and feather
him if he did not leave town. The
man has no trade. and, according to
the woman's story, no ambition and
no inclination to work. Since Ieav-
ing him Mrs. Stephens has been COM
PEELED to take in washing in order to
support the family.
Although poor, the plucIy little
woman is ambitious for her children,
and is putting one son through a
college at Healdsburg. The boy, un-
like his father, is energetic and a
hard worker, and he is paying a part
of his tuition by working before and
after school hours. The oldest son,
Amos, has a situation in Riverside
county, but does little toward the
support of the family. The oldest
daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Woolacott, is
happily married and does much to
assist her mother. The youngest is
a child of eight.
After these facts had been proved
to the court, Mrs. Stephens attor-
ney, Charles Lantz, submitted the
case. and Judge York rendered his
decision. Touching upon the matter
of nonsuppoTt, the judge said:
"a wife might easily earn enough
TO support both herself and husband.
"The fact that the husband has not
contributed to the support of the
family without proof of his ability
to do so, or proof of his neglect to
do so by reason Of his idleness, prof.
ligacy or dissipation. is insufficient to
justify a divorce. Besides, the law
does not contemplate that a poor
man, relying solely upon his labor
for support, should be the only Ia
borer in the family. In this case
the wife and her daughter, by honest
and honorable employment, were
able to earn a living and had the
courage to do so. Their work was nc
harder than that ordinarily done by
labOTing people, and for aught that
appears the husband may not have
been able to find employment, and, il
able to find employment, may not
have been physically able to labor.
All people, rich or poor, should dc
their part of the work. and not be
drones, whose existence is useless.
But it does appear in this case
that the husband, prior to the sepa.
ration, was extremely cruel to his
wife in many ways. and that without
cause he inflicted upon her grievous
mental suffering and physical iniu.
ries, and upon that ground she is en-.
titled to q divorce.
Il do not look upon this matter OF
women helping to support the famiI,
as such an extraordinary state of af.
fairs as TO warrant anybody apply
ing for legal separation upon tha,
ground"
