result is many players stroll off dis

coming more popular 1t loses ground

that something serious was happening

Reaching there to my amazement /
found two parties of girls fighting over
the court by pulling one another's hair.
Some were even kicking their oppo-
nents around an amused group of boys

place should be set aside not only for

The Panama Exposition
GERTRUDE RODDY,
2J15 Twenty-fOurth street, CITY

We all at this period, Juniors, are
hoping that San Francisco will get the
Panama exposition in 1915. 1t is en-
tirely fitting that this city, the queen
city of the Pacific coast, which will be
benefited by the Panama canal, should
have the exposition here.
Many people will flock here when the
canal is built to take advantage of the
many positions which will then be
opened San Francisco will become
busy seaport for this will be the prin-
cipal coaling station for the ships and
much goods will be shipped from here.
The Panama exposition will serve to
introduce San Francisco and her prod
ucts to the world and show the people
at home and abroad how progressive
we are.
Hurrah for San Francisco the pres
ent and San Francisco the future. Truly
we have the grandest city on the face
of the earth.

Suffrage
G. w. BONNER,
25O2 Dapa street, Berkeley. Berkeley
High school

l saw in your open letter section a
letter written by young lady on the
above subject. I am writing this in
reply to her letter.
DR.. Max Baff, psychologist Of Clark
university, says concerning woman
suffrage: "To put Votes for Women
under the microscope / would call the
movement an outbreak of emotional
insanity" Doctor Baff declares: do
women really want the ballot? No,
they just think they do. If women
want to vote they should do mems
work. They ought to dig the tunnels,
they ought to run the streetcars, they
ought to begin right now and practice
with hammer and some nails"
My point of view toward this topic
is that political differences in the
household, as would occur IL women
voted. would break up many happy
homes. And this is an evil which
should be kept down as closely as pos
sible. For instance: The wife wants
to vote a democratic ticket, the hus-
band, IL possible. tries to persuade her
to- vote his ticket, or vice versa. A
political difference arises, and nine
times out of ten there are domestic
troubles Nearly all our divorces arise
from differences of opinion.
Women, generally speaking, are cas-
lily persuaded, and that is great evil
in voting. We won't say men~can't be
bought, but they can't be bought easily.

The influence Of the Railroad
JASPER b. SINCLAIR


There is probably nothing which has
had a greater influence upon the
growth and general development Of
the United States than the railroad 1t
is the railroad which has caused the
growth of the west. But for the rail-
river would still be vast barren
desert instead of a land Of cities and
towns. miles of grain and fruit and
hundreds of mines 1t is the railroad
which has caused the marvellous
growth of the middle west and the Pa
cifc coast states
The railroad has built the nation. 1t
has brought. the east into closer con-
tact with the west and opened up
vast territory for set Q .ment and de-
velopment And in SO years that vast
territory has been settled; towns have
sprung up through the night. the
ground has been cultivated and
Mother Earth" has yielded up more
Of her hidden ores and gems of the
fountains.
Fifty years ago the west was an ex-
panse Of desert. Then five men, the
pioneers OF transcontinental railroad
ing, conceived the idea of an overland
railroad, planned and financed the
scheme and caused the unification of
the east and the west. Today there
are four such transcontinenta1 lines
while San Francisco and New York are
as closely connected In point or con-
venience and travel as Boston and New
York were In the days Of Washington
Thus the railroad has, directly and
Indirectly, influenced the development
and upbuilding of the west To those
five pioneers of western railroading,
Huntington. Hopkins. Stanford, Crocker
and Judah. belongs the chief credit for
the unification Of the east and the
west.
The influence Of the railroad has
been the same the world over. Not
only in the United States, but in Can
ada, in Africa. in India. In Russia and
in every country where civilization has
found home. the railroad has caused
the growth. the development and the
expansion Of that country. 1T has
traversed the prairies of Canada, the
veldts of Africa. the plains OF India
and the steppes Of Russia and laid the
cornerstone of progress and internal
expansion. NJ
