nEoEMPTloN OF CALIFORNIA

IN This journal welcomes the results
OF ths election Tuesday as implying the
redemption of California-the passing oi
an old era and the coming of a new one
in which the whole people of the State
shall exercise the control.
And yet the Press does not concur
with that sentiment which frequently
ands expression, that the Southern Pa
cific Company is responsible for the Ole
order of things.
The fact of the case is that the idea
of republic is passing through an evo-
luton. The concept of a republic held
by 1.-THE fathers of the nation by nc
means measured up TO the highest ideal
of the present, and from the revolution
airy days the government has given more
thought to dollars than TO manhood, while
the more advanced ideals recognize mar
and not the dollar as the chief object OF
consideration.
The Southern Pacific Company un-
doubtedly adapted itself to the conditions
ii found and took advantage of that
condition wherever it could. while at
the same time the politicians played the
political game under existing conditions
and used their opportunity to mulct the
great railroad by means of cinch bills
and other evil practices
And yet these acts of the railroad ans
of the politicians who preyed on the rail,
road and other corporations were but
symptoms of the evil that was in fact
due to a wrong concept of the true ma
ture of republican government.
The evils that have been are believed
in large part to have been wiped out by
the changes made Tuesday in the State
constitution, and those changes are well
coined, not as a blow at the Southern
Pacific Company nor at corporations il
general, but as a progressive move ir
the evolution of republican government
placing the control of public affairs in
the hands Of the people Of the State.

HITS MODERN WOMAN
SHE DOESN'T KNOW MEANING
OF ROMANTIC LOVE.
90 Asserts Alexander Harvey, Who
Says He Almost Thinks the Wom-

How will the modern woman move

Alexander Harvey, editor anu au-

Ing the woman who walks forward
treads upon divine law and the heart
OF man In her progress. He said:
The modern woman movement is
really the new immortality.
True love does not come between
man and woman until after mar
rlage and the birth of a child
women never have understood and
never will understand the laws Of
either love or morality.
THE theory of conscious eugenics,

modern woman movement. Is the SUI

Just what does the modern woman
mean by the movement" queried Mr..
Harvey In turn. Sometimes | think
the woman of today have all gone
crazy. When you ask them what they
want when they cry for personal
equality and the vote, they do not
know themselves
"But will tell you what they want.

woman movement is aimed. 1t is

Will. The divine laws were made by
God. the father and the man, for men.
And when you say woman cannot
understand morality, It follows logical
ly that she cannot understand love.
THE old-fashioned woman. the
womanly woman. whose heart and
brain were nodded by the man she
loved, was at least source OF CON-
