WOMEN AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Gratifying evidence of women's
ability to participate in governmental
affairs and the clarity of their views
is developed daily for the discomfort
of disgruntled scoffers.

honesty with which women approach
public questions.

Improvement bonds have been sold
almost exclusively to women by the
city of St. Paul They were sold to
women because the women of St. Paul
outnumbered the men at the sales and
because the allotments available un-

the demand made by the women.

A POOR JOKE

MRS. w. H. Campbell, vice presi-
dent of the Oceanside Women's club,
charges that she is the victim OF po-
lice persecution.
According to her statement OF her
troubles. she is the butt OF what
passes for sense of hunor with
Chief of Police D. A. White.
Mrs. Campbell is one of the women
responsible for the recall of Police
Judge Weller. She is one OF the
women who camped in United Rail
roads car marked Beach until the
management of the traction company
actually ran that car to the beach.
Recently she and other women resi-
dents of the beach district complained
to the mayor and the police commits
sion of the alleged failure OF Chief
White 10 enforce the law along the
Great Highway.
The chief of police informed her
that she and her house needed watch
ing. The mayor told her and her
neighbors that the police commissions
and not the mayor, was responsible
for the chief of police.
Subsequently the mayor suggested
or ordered that police officers on duty
in the beach district consult with the
women of the district touching con-
ditions there.
Now, according to Mrs. Campbell,
officers ring her door bell at 2 and Q
o'clock in the morning to inform her
that they are reporting on or of duty
and to ask her for instructions or
advice.
Mrs Campbell says the officers say
they are acting under orders. She
also says that an appeal to the dis
trict station house has. resulted in
nothing more satisfactory than a
promise of relief.
If the accusation brought by Mrs.
Campbell is verified by investigation
some one should be brought to book
in a manner designed to convince all
men that the police department. of
San Francisco is not to be made a
medium for the venting of any thick
wits spite.
Mrs. Campbell and the members of
the Oceanside Women's club may
differ with other residents of the dis
trict as to what constitutes proper
policing of the district. The Ocean
side c1ubwomen may be wrong. How
ever, they have found healthy ma
jority public sentiment on their side
in their every undertaking SO far.
Right or wrong as to their conten-
tions, they were within their rights as
citizens when they complained to the
mayor and the police commission.
The members of the police depart
ment are the servants, not the mas
ters, of the people of San. Francisco.
Their uniform IS the livery of the
people. The people pay the wages Of
the men who wear that livery They
are entitled to the respect and the
protection of the men who wear it.
The San Francisco police depart
ment has been sorry joke ever since
it was delivered into the inexperienced
hands of Chief White. A character
istic sense of humor has enabled the
San Francisco public to submit with
slight complaint to many abuses.
The persecution of women is carry
ing the joke much too far. That is a
form of humor that will not go with
the decent men and women of San
Francisco, and every official con-
cerned will do well to appreciate that
fact before it is too late.
