Want Their Children Thieves.


The Kakha KhelS, a tribe that in

slider thieVing a most honorable Occu-

WIVES IN TWO STATES.
Anti-SuffraS ette Contrasts honnan's
Condition in Idaho and New York.
(Alice Hill Chittenden. in New Y

(Alice Hill Chittenden. in New York
Times Letter.)
In view of the fact that a former
Governor of Idaho is here telling tn3
women of New York hat they need
the ballot, a comparison Of the laws
affecting women in these two States
is of special interest at this time
In New York a married woman cen
trolls her own earnings; in Idaho I
husband controls everything the wife
earns. In New York a married Wo-
man can hold her property entirely
free from the control Of her husband:
in Idaho a married woman can only
secure control Of her own property 10y
going into court and showing that her
husband Is mismanaging ii.
In New York, the husband and Wifs
are equal guardians of the children,
in Idaho the husband Is the legal
guardian Of the children.
There IS only one ground for proCur-
ing absolute divorce in New York
State; in Idaho there are sever differ
emit grounds upon which absolute d-
vorce may be procured.
In New York State the hours a vo-
man may be legally employed are linn
tied to 90 a week; there is no ~restric-
ton as to the numbe Of hours a NO.
man may work in Idaho.
The women have been voting IN
Idaho since 1896. but they do not seem
to have done as we'll for themselves
with the ballot as the men of New
York have done for the women OF this
State.
Mormonism has been spreading rap
idly in Idaho during recent years. Ih3
Mormon Church now holds the ball
ance Of political power in that state.
It is not apparent that the, women
voters Of Idaho AVE exerted the
slightest influence against this men
ace. and yet we are repeatedly told
hat social reforms will be brought
about through the medium OF woman
suffrage.
In view of these facts. it would seem
as if there were but little evidence
upon which to base the claim that tGe
ballot has helped the ONE of IDAHO.

WARNER RANCH TO Be
A HUNTERS PARADISE
New Owners to Stock Land With Many
Kinds of oame and to Prohibit
Shooting for TWO Years

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 3.-Nimrods from far
and near will soon find in the great
Warmers ranch in the mountains back
of San Diego a veritable hunters para
disc. 1t has become known that the
syndicate of Eastern capitalists who re-
Gently purchased the ranch through Col.
Ed Fletcher anu II. w. Keller will spend
thousands of dollars in stocking the ranch
with every variety of game that can live
in this climate and fill the streams with
all kinds of game fish, including thou
sands of mountain trout and black bass.
In fact Warmers ranch is to become the
greatest game preserve in California
perhaps in the entire West. The good
work has already begun.
Several hundred wild turkeys, obtained
from the State of California, have been
taken to the ranch in auto trucks. They
are the first fowls of this kind intro
duced in San Diego county. 1t is con-
sidered that the ranch is an ideal place
for their propagation.
Contracts have been signed for the de-
livery of thousands of quail, which will
be liberated on every part of the ranch.
There will be several varieties of this
bird The ranch is already inhabited by
thousands of quail, but 1T is desired 10
triple the number, and to give them sew
eral years to breed before any hunting
is allowed. Within that time it is eX-
pected that there will be more quail on
the ranch than in any other territory of
similar size in the United States.
Among other rare game birds to be
placed on the ranch will be several hun
dred English pheasants. 1t has been as
certained that these birds can live in
this climate They multiply rapidly. and
it is believed that within few years
the big ranch will contain thousands
of these birds.
1t is known that Col. Fletcher has
had Fl. c. Gordon and others out for sew
eral days at Cuyamaca lake and Lake.
