WoMAN'S ANTI-GRAFT FIGHT.

In my own city of San Francisco a handful of women have been doing a piece of work new for our sex.

Our opening battle is over and We have lost-gone down to defeat this time. though I have an abiding faith that we shall win in the end
 !. who am no longer yong, had been clubwoman for many years. l had risen with the women's clubs of the west through all the stages of development from reading enclyclO- pedic essays to undertaking real civic effort-if only in the fancy work of a city's sanitation. I was in Europe when my city began her real strug- gle against organized impurity When I returned in the summer of 1908, the fight had been on for two years. And immediately I found a real piece of work for woman to do.
 Since the first years of the century, a corrupt mayor and a corrupt board of supervisors, creatures of the su- premely corrupt boss. Abraham Ruef had controlled the city. They had traded in franchises, licenses, permits, special privileges, as perhaps polit- ical ring never traded before. More, they had organized crime and vice, given it protection, entered into part nership with it. The climax came when they accepted a bribe of s200,- 900 for a free" trolley franchise worth millions of dollars to the city had the city sold it fairly. Patrick Calhoun, head of the street railway system, was charged with giving this bribe, but upon his trial the jury dis agreed. A group of reformers. led first by the San Francisco Bulletin and then by Francis J. Heney, had exposed this condition of affairs. had indicted the little bosses and bribe- takers-to the universal applause of the community. and had reached out for the big bribe- givers-to the uni versal horror of the upper class"

 And this was the mental state of San Francisco as l found it: Not man or woman in San Francisco, then or at any other time, he be- lieved that Patrick Calhoun was not guilty of giving bribes; yet the -"bet- ter part" of the community, their minds clouded by prejudice, self interest, minor and oblique consider ations- of every kind. justified him and pleaded for him.

PHoENN, ARIz.. SEPT. 22, 1910
The Defeat of Mir. Tawney.

Several things conspired to bring about the defeat of MT. Tawney, no one of which would have been suf- ficient to displace that active repre- sentative of the First Minnesota dis trict for eighteen years. One of the clements against him was the insur- gent movement. He was the most conspicuous exponent of Cannonism, and the greatest animosity was direct ed against him on that account. But the progressives alone could not likely have overthrown him. He was, we believe. the single republican aspirant for nomination, or renomination, against whom the influence of Theo- dore Roosevelt was actively directed, not because of Cannonism, but on ac- count of the stubborn opposition of Mir Tawney as chairman of the ap- propriations committee to an appro- priation for secret service agents, as recommended by MT. Roosevelt in the closing days of his administration. The appropriation was defeated, and there ensued passages at arms be- tween the president and the chair man. Ea
 Until we ger the primary election figures and compare them with the republican vote in the First Minne- sota district two years ago we cannot be sure that a more powerful element than either the ,progressives or the ex-president did not contribute to the defeat of Mir Tawney-democratic in reference, which of late has turned the tide against strong regulars in so many republican state and district primaries.
 For instance. an analysis of the vote at the Kansas primaries leaves no shadow of doubt that the insur- there in every contest but for the adventitious aid of democrats. So it was in California, where the demo- cratic presence was everywhere dis closed by the phenomenally heavy vote at the republican primaries and the ridiculously light vote at the democratic primaries, which were held at the same time and places.
 But however it was brought about, an accomplished tactician and a strong figure has been removed from the house of representatives.
 If this thing had taken place four years ago Arizonas grief at the re- suit would have been quite subdued MT. Tawney was in disrepute in this territory at that time He was not only one of the foremost proponents of the joint statehood measure, but he was also looked upon as a traitor to our cause, for in the course of a visit with several other congressman q couple of months before the joint statehood bill was introduced he had pledged himself against that particu- lar iniquity. Most of the others did likewise, but we believe that MT. Tawney and Mir. Madden of Illinois were the only ones who violated their pledges and refused to join the ranks of the twenty-six original house in surgents.

MUCH SICKNESS IN
 WAKE OF TAILSTAR
Attributed to Wrath of the Gods Because of Assas-
 sination of Caesar

WASHINGTON. D. C., April 30.-If old Plutarch writes accurately, there is reason for believing that the earth once before suffered the experience due this spring-that of passing through the tail of Halley's comet
 The results then were attributed to the wrath of the gods because of the assassination of Julius Caesar. If simi- lar phenomena are now recorded, bad crop year may be expected, also much la grippe and pneumonia. It will be chilly and damp and dark.
 Remarkable atmospheric conditions followed the appearance of brilliant comet immediately after the assassina- ton of Julius Caesar. In that famous volume, "Plutarch s Lives, the histor- ian, concluding the life of Caesar, says:
 "The most singular preternatural ap- pearances were the great comet, which shone very bright for seven nights after Caesars death and then disappeared, and the dimness of the sun, whose orb continued pale and dull for the whole of that year, never showing its ordin- ary radiance at its rising, and giving but a weak and feeble heat. The air consequently was damp and gross for want of stronger rays to open and rarely it. The fruit, for that reason, never properly ripened and began to wither and fal off for want of heat before they were fully formed"
 Caesar died in March of A. B. C., or approximately 1854 years ago. The com ct makes its round in seventy-five years and the division comes to 26.05. There IS no other comet reported by the as. tronOmers which would cause such an Illumination and which would be due at the time named.
 The Romans were moved strongly bv superstitions and Plutarch shows him self the victim of many of them. Yet, Plutarch wrote only 150 years after the death of Caesar. It seems that the fact of the comet $ appearance and the extraordinary crop conditions of the year would hardly be manufactured in that interval. Possibly there was no connection between the effect on the fruit and the appearance of the comet. yet the coincidence is interesting.
