HAS STRONG OBJECTION TO
WOMEN RUNNING HIS LIFE

LOS ANGELES, July 29.-[Editol
Herald: If Mr.. Stones first anecdott
was pointless it seems to me that the
second is even worse, for it is mis-
representation. When have been gull
ty of the philosophical stupidity and
injustice of "blaming?" Never; nave
simply stated facts.
1 have said that all woman's influ-
ence Is being thrown in the scale OF
more laws; that, at present, the whole
of her movement Is to rule over 9TH
ers. Do you answer this by saying
that woman has been a slave in the
past? Why, 1 admit it freely and say
that the tendency of the recently eman-
cipated is always to play the proVerbial
beggar on horseback and to take their
turn at riding others down.
Suppose we try honesty In this mat
ter and grant her those rights simply
because they are rights" says "A
School Marin" Madame, you beg the
question. When you make law regu-
lating my life, as, for instance, When
you forbid me to drink liquor or smoke,
YOU are not-in my opinion and in that
of many Understanding right
but a most brutal might" acquired by
getting a majority. When the great
leader Of the abolition movement, Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, declared, Il VIII
not rule over any other man; no other
man shall rule over me-" he expressed
this great truth.
Marion Martin says that man has
only recently awakened to the truth
that woman must be permitted to use
her own brain and think for herself.
Three cheers for Marion Martin. But
to the demnition bow-Wows with
Marion Martin when she begins to
fancy that she has right to think Tor
me. and legislate as to what l shall and
shall not do.
Mrs. S. d. L. says all the women
need is "a little water to learn to swim
in thas is all we want" For my part
[ willingly give them all the oceans Of
the world. What l object to is their
assumption that l do not swim well
enough to take care of my own life and
that they must strap life preservers on
me, in the shape of all sorts of pro-
tuctive legislation, that make my task
far harder.
In other words 1 am, as one of the
"gentler' sex correspondents has so
sweetly called me. a "mannikin" who
loves liberty so we'll that, if | can help
it, l will not put the power of ruling
even + IT, hands of emancipated wo-
men.
Mrs. Agnes Downing, whose letter
has given me much pleasure, asks me
to compare the wisdom with which
women manage the affairs of home
with the lack of wisdom with which
men manage the affairs of state. In
deed, yes Mrs. Downing. The women
are managing their own affairs and do
it admirably. The men are trying to
manage the affairs of others, always a
hopeless game. L. X. u.

California Renowned for
Prosperity and Good Health

IN HE fame of California as a health
resort is spreading throughout
u the world Thousands of victims
of overwork and under-rest have found
our salubrious climate and the be-
nign breezes from the sea both food
and tonic for mind and body.
DIR. p. C. Remondino, the eminent
climatologist of San Diego, has shown
that Pacific coast influences are con-
ducive to longevity. Even among the
natives who were found enjoying
health in old age when the Americans
invaded the Spanish domains there
were evidences of sanitary climatic in
fuences. Today, despite the fact that
many of our busy folk are chained
down to desks in offices, or to benches
in the workshops, the bloom of health
is found upon the cheeks of the multi
tude says the Sacramento Union.
Visitors touring this state recently
have commented upon the fact that
we are care-free people, fond Of
athletics and outdoor sports, given to
recreation and music, and in love with
those re-creative influences that make
for long life.
Research into human history has
shown that occasional overindulgence
in wines, coupled with outdoor exer-
else, is not so bad as deterrent OF
human life as is the habit of mop1ng,

WANTS MALLARD TO EXPLAIN
OBJECTIONS TO SINGLE TAX

LOS ANGELES, July 3O-[Editor
Herald: For some time past I have
been following with interest the dis
cussion as to the single tax which
has been going on in that most val
liable educational institution the Pub
lie Letter Box. 1t has appeared to
me that the Single Tax men have ad-
vanced weighty arguments to the eff
feet that the community is entitled
to the values that 1t has created, and
that he who has special privileges
should pay for them.
But now l observe that Assessor
Mallard, speaking before the board OF
equalization, is reported as having said
that the only way to relieve fran
chise assessments would be to make
the land pay the taxes, and if such a
policy were adopted we soon would
have single taxation" which he char
acterized as 1.-The worst method that
had ever been preached"
This is a strong expression, and as
1 presume that the man whom we Sc
lect to determine, to a great extent
the manner in which our city reve-
nues shall be raised is necessarily a
man with a reputation as an expert
on various methods of taxation, it
seems to me that there must be OBJ
jeetions to the Single Tax that are
not known to those who have made a
special study of taxation, but have
not, as yet, been aired in your COL
umns
I think we have an absolute right,
when so prominent an official as the
chief assessor says that a certain sys-
tenn of taxation is the worst conceiv-
able, to insist that he give a public
exposition of the reasons for his state
ment. and I hope that the point will
be insisted on. We have a right not
only to know what our public serv g.
ants do, but why they do it.

and worrying over problems of human
destiny.
In former times throughout the
United States many patient souls were
frightened to death by fears as to the
coming day of judgment. Only few
decades ago q number of sanity
Christian souls dwelling in Oakland,
Cal, gave away their property, fully
believing that their Savior would make
his appearance from the fog banks
that lowered over Tamalpais. The lives
of these unfortunates have doubtless
been shortened by the discovery that
their conduct was asinine, and that
the world is real, a substantially. Some
of those who we're well to do now find
themselves the slaves of toll under
harsh conditions-and their lives will
doubtless be shortened through their
own folly.
Fortunately, however. the masses of
our people take the world in a happy
o-lucky way. enjoying the sunshine
and fresh air, and becoming strong
enough year by year to Danish from
their minds such superstitions as those
OF which we have just spoken.
Having gone through fire and seis-
mic disturbances, Californians, with
heads erect and faces turned toward
the purpling east, go forward in the
battle of life, ready for any fate.

tempted suppression of free speech, and
while respectable women, wives and
mothers, were being locked up In the
city jail. these same police were de-
clining to interfere with occupants of
establishments which were said to be
in a SHELTERED position owing to
the proprietorship of said establish
ments.
Read the scandalous stories printed
in all the papers regarding your po-
lice commissioner, Fuller. Observe how,
when goaded to it by popular outcry,
the police at last reluctantly closed
notorious houses. Look 1t up, It will
make interesting reading, Mr.. Mayor.
And see whether, by reading between
the lines. you can gather what people
think of your choice of members for
the police commission; what is the
popular verdict as to their records,
their nocturnal rambles, their various
escapades.
See whether you cannot deduce from
your between-t lines reading on this
subject that the surest way to strike
a responsive chord in the bosoms of
the best people of this community
would be to remove Mr.. Fuller from
office.
We think you will feel yourself in
duty bound to make some inquiry as
to this.
By consulting the files of the papers,
Mr.. Mayor, you can find out how open
~ and boldly the Liberal alliance has
defied your board of public works, first
against the explicit instructions of that
body. stringing a big banner from the
city hall, as If to drive home the insult,
and later defantly displaying their
banners in busy public streets. Since
you are no doubt shocked by the bold
ness of the alliance in daring to take
of your absence and to vio
late the law, we sympathize with you,
and share your feelings with regard to
this obvious contempt of your high
office by an organization which calls
itself Liberal"
Finally, brother mayor, one word
more: We advise you to read how dur
ing your absence the dog catcher's de-
partment man, aed to attract public
attention. You will see, Mr.. Mayor,
that the dog catchers are accused of
working petty and disgraceful crafts
on the city by means of dog scalps;
and you will read how not on account
of this picayune knavery, but on ac-
count of the manner in which the finer
feelings and sensibilities of the decent
people of this community, who. Mr..
Mayor, should never be left out of con-
have been outraged, the best
citizens are UNANIMOUSLY opposed
to a continuance of the present barbar-
Gus system of dog catching. and are
petitions asking for the alb
clifton of the office Of dog catcher.
You will be enabled to understand why
the best public feeling is aroused keen |
ly on this subject when you read how
a society woman, trying to protect her
pet dog, struggled in the grasp of a |
brutal dog catcher. The best citizens |
are going to great deal of trouble to |
circulate and sign these petitions pro-
testing against the present barbarous
style of dog catching. and they mean
business.
We advise you to read the papers
and take other means of making your
self thoroughly &quainted with this
subject also, Mr.. Mayor. Our advice Is
offered in the spirit of good citizenship.
We hope your honor will accept 1t
cheerfully, and act upon it promptly.
