Chairman Dr. Thompson informed
Mrs. Greene that her resolution en-
bodied two motions, and Mrs. Greene
shut her lips tightly, and insisted that
it was one motion, and she knew
what she was talking about, so the
chairman subsidized.

cause we agreed we would give him
a chance to defend himself and that

Mrs. Greene arose with fire in her
eyes and rasp in her voice.
"Of course he is guilty." she said.
Don't the records from States At
torney Hoyne's Office show he is
guilty? Haven't we heard how he
fined men he should have sent to
the penitentiary? If he can bring
any witnesses and defend himself, let
him come, but it amt appears to be,

Mrs. Green won and the double
motion was carried as single, and
then forgotten for the time being,
while Mrs. Greene sweetly asked per-
mission to present Mrs. Bloomer and
hear what she had to say.
Mrs. Bloomer was a little timid.
She declined the chairman's invita-
ton to step right up to the front, and
said she really didn't come to talk,
but Mrs. Greene was insistent.
Let us hear what you have to
say, dearie," she cooed. You know

Six women tried to talk at once;
the chairman raped for order, and
finally the voice of one woman rose
high above the others.

she shouted, "she would understand.
But SHE cannot know what
mothers feelings are"

DRoaREss AND PROGRESS

! Two public incidents during th'
last two or three days have served tC
call attention TO the diverging ways il
the progressive policy Of the state.
The first of these is the signing b!
Governor Johnson of the bill providing
for state insurance of employees anC
the second is the hearing by the state
railroad commission Of the question
whether a competing electric company
will he permitted to bid for the lighting
Of Redlands.
In the one case there is a recognition
of the fact that promoting cooperation
in certain lines for the public good is
the natural function OF government
Because the insurance OF the people
is matter in which all are concerned.
and because it is function which
cannot be performed by an individual,
II is proper function Of the state,
and that function is to be performed
in accordance with general laws passed
by the legislature
But on the other hand, the question
whether a new electric company will
be permitted to enter a field, and es-
pecially whether il shall be permitted
10 bid for the lighting Of a city, the
determination resting. not on law, but
On the arbitrary ruling Of govern
character as to be wholly foreign 70
American ideals.
II may be said that on the one hand
the state is drifting toward s0cialistic
ideas. but on the other it j. drifting
toward that despotic character which
has supplanted human liberty in other
lands and may in this If the trend
Of affairs is not checked
There is no line of reasoning 10 bar
company engaging in electrical de-
velopment that would not equally apply
10 other industries. This arbitrary act
can only be based on economy, but on
an equal basis Of economy there may
come a decree that there shall be but
one store in a town, to promote the
common interests.
California is getting on very danger
Gus ground in this respect.
