happiness this candy laxative has
brought to men and women-also the
children. Are you getting your share?
Cascarets cure bowel troubles when
they have developed. But that is the
least of their uses. Their best service
is to prevent the many ills that come
from inactive bowels. Think of the
days when you are not at your best
the mornings when you don't feel
right, the afternoons when you are
logy, the evenings when you are is-
ritable. The cause lies in the bowels.

Women Feared Dismissal.

LAY or in the middle Of the morning
and the middle Of the afternoon. as 1t Is
impossible to serve three meals In eight
hours. The eight-hour law does not ap-
ply to men, and 1t was feared that they
would be substituted for women In all
cases where more than eight hours Of
work was required; because an employer
would rather pay the difference in wages
than go to Jail for employing a woman.
Wage earners organized and sent dele
cations to the legislature to protest that
they did not want to be restricted In their
efforts to earn earn q living and declared sd
and advocated by other than working
women. It is said that Gov. johnson
was opposed to some OF the provisions
OF the Dill, Out MIS-. johnson was one OK

the law has not been enforced. There
has been no change in the hours Of en-
ployment Of the clerks In department
stores and other places, from 8 am. to
6 p.m., and so far as known nobody has
been discharged.
Certain newspapers contend that the
law is unconstitutional on the theory
that the legislature has no authority to
interfere with an individuals right to
make contracts for services performed.

SAN FRANCISCO. May %, 1911.
California has entered upon an era of
progressive governor and a progressive
legislature, both Of which have been
publicly commended by Theodore Roose-
welt. He has branded them as The Real
Thing. Both the governor and the legis-
lature have made record. During the
first session Of the first reform legisla
ture. which adjourned in April, 2.S76
bills were introduced, 800 laws were
passed and twenty-one constitutional
amendments were adopted. which will be
submitted for the ratification of the vot-
ers OF the state at a special election to
be held october 10, 1911.
When the legislature adjourned Gov.
johnson made them speech in which he
told them that they had wrought a tre-
mendous political revolution in the his
tory Of California during the eighty-fiv
days Of the session. You gentlemen"
he said, have builded yourselves great
er monument than could be builded of
either marble or stone. You have build
ed a. monument that will last as long as
California lasts. and you may well feel
proud of the heritage which you may
leave to your children" That indorse-
ment was 20. KID" by T. R.. with the

mitted to the voters OF the state with

Choice Of q. s. Senator.

In addition to revising the constitution
and the bylaws. the legislature elected
John D. Works of Los Angeles to be
United States senator to succeed Frank
Putnam Flint. who was not a candidate
for reelection. Mr.. Works was opposed at
the primaries by Albert Spalding of San
Diego. formerly Of Chicago, and Rock
ford, ILL.,. who has been more successful
in base ball and athletics generally than
in politics. Mr.. Spalding made an active
but dignided campaign on what he and
everybody else supposed to be the plan
OF the direct primary, and secured ma
jority OF the republican members of both
that was the proper way to do 1t, but
when the legislature met. Mr.. Works.
his opponent, was found to have q ma
jority of the total republican vote cast.
and as his brand of politics was more
and leaders Of the legislature. they held
a caucus and concluded that the intention
Of the primary law had been previously
misunderstood and that United States
senators were elected by the vote Of the
legislative districts. II the result had
been reversed, the Interpretation would
have been different. no doubt. Mr..
Works had the sympathy Of the reform
element In the legislature. Mr.. Spalding
was too conservative to please them.
The greatest triumph Of the legislature
and the most popular issue during the
campaign was putting the Southern Pa
cifc railroad out Of politics" This was
done by the enactment Of a law confer
ring upon the railway commission the
widest powers possible under the con-
stitution and by adopting series OF
amendments to the constitution extend
ing those powers so as to give the COM
mission absolute control over all the cor
porations In the state and providing for
an entirely new system OF taxation. un-
der which the principal income Of the
state will hereafter be derived from taxes
paid by corporations.
Gov. johnson led the fight and shaped
the legislation. He has taken a promi-
dlers of San Francisco and in the con-
servation movement. and has been recog-
nized as the personal representative OF
Theodore Roosevelt and Clifford Pinchot
in California politics.
