SOCIETY AND PROSTITUTION.

According to q striking article in a
recent number of the "Englishwo-
man" there are in London from
10000 to $4,000 prostitutes, and in
New York 10000. The writer says
that prostitution is not natural to
women. 1t is largely due to, poverty
1t is distinctly anti-social,
being the main source of insanity and
many other of the chief symptoms of
degeneracy. - If it is crimi-
nal to be a prostitute, it must be
made equally criminal to be patron
of prostitution"

 The bill having already passed the as- sembly it will now go to the governor for his signature, after which 1t will be- come a law.
 Governor Gillett has signified his inten- ton to sign the measure if passed by both houses, but it is believed he will not take this action until 30 days shall have elapsed As the bill gives pool dealers and bookmakers 60 days time in which to close up their affairs the present sea son of racing at the Emeryville and Santa Anita courses will not be dis turbed.
 The Walker-Otis anti-gambling Dill IS referred to as '.the Hughes law Of Call fornia" inasmuch as 1t follows closely the text of the Hughes bill which was passed by the last legislature of New York
