For a "close corporation" the vati-
can seems to be having the dickens
of time keeping it's police on the
job, and one wonders on the side,
just why head of a religious body
would require a band of armed
guards on duty, in these times of
peace.
There just is no gaging the danger
that can happen to a man when he
is riding one of those motorcycles;
just to show yOu-a man went crab
bling, and had the crabs on his back
in basket; he was On a motor
cycle, when a crab bit him, he fell
off-and there you are.

1t is to be hoped the Suffragettes
of California will speedily get busy
on this matter, and prove they are
going to do what they set out to do
when they demanded-and received
the right to act as men.
The average man, when he sees a
danger, rights it, investigates the
cause of it's existence, and then
abolishes it,
There can be no grander work for
the womanhood of any State, than to
make every nook and Granny of that
State, safe for the woman or girl
who will be within it's borders.
II those in control of the exposi-
ton are unfit to be in control, let
the women agitate the matter, and
use as much influence to GUST those
undesirables, as they did to have
the suffrage bill passed in their State
Legislature. It would be peculiarly
fitting for this great victory to be
the first fruits of suffrage in Califor-
MIA, and if the women are earnest
and honest, if they will take hold of
the matter as they would any other
great danger, it will do more to re-
move the doubt and the antipathy to
suffrage, than any other line of work
they might adopt.
Will the women of California rise
to the occasion?
Mr.. Bryan is suffering from a COM
bined attack of dollaritis and wan
derlust.
Home rule in sight, reads a news
item, but the man who is married to
a rampant suffragette, knows it
doesn't refer to his home, and he
reads no further.
The greatest comeback of the age

The Oldest Inhabitant in several
sections of the country is having the
time of his life, telling about weather
that was just as bad as this-With
few hail stones and cyclones thrown
in for good measure.
If all the plans devised to save the
cotton farmer, won't accomplish the
raising of several mortgages, then a
lot of perfectly good printers Ink
and pounds of nice white paper have
been wasted.
If some Of the summer resorts
inhabitants would see all the litera-
ture the hotel keepers send out about
them, they'd go after his scalp, and
then they'd charge admission at the
towns gates.
Oh we'll, one thing may be said
for the new style in women's clothes:
it gives the amateur dressmaker some
innings she hasn't had in long time.
Any old way to sew up some pieces
of cloth and pin them on, will do for
dress.
The police of some cities are hav-
ing instructions given them in what
isn't proper in womens apparel, and
the slit skirt, the sheathe skirt, the

more different kinds Of skirts are be-

If the average socialist would real

~ during the exposition to be
held there in 1915. Miss Ella Schoo-
ley, an officer of the Young Women's
Christian Association there, has is
sued a warning that it will not be a
safe place for them. Is it possible
that such conditions exist in spite of
the woman's ?"-The Woman's
Protest.
The above item is clipped from a
little paper which is issued by the
women who are banded as anti-suf-
fragettes, and it opens up a wide field
for the American parent to investi-
gate.
California women were the ones
who demanded and won the right to
vote on all questions relating to the
government of the State, and we
were promised in some perfervid
ante-election literature, what the
women of the State would do, when
they were recognized" and given
their rights"
1t is an amazing fact to record
but this land of the free, the fad and
the foible, besides being the home
of the brave, is also the only land
which deliberately provides and
licenses, the lowest, rankest and
most indecent forms of "amuse-
ment' that the purlieus Of every
country have, and these are gathered
under the head of 'MidWays,"
"Streets of Cairo" white Ways
courts of all Nations Or any other
name that will be suggestive enough
to rouse all the desire for the risque,
the suggestive and the immoral that
seems TO be so large a part Of the
makeup Of old Average Humanity.
From the time of the first Worlds
Fair at Chicago, this country was
introduced to and became the home
of more different brands of nastiness
than had ever been known of before
in it's entire history. There were
regular agents sent abroad, and they
inspected the segregated districts of
Japan, China, Russia, India and Tur-
key, and whatever could be hired
or bought, was hired and bought and
brought here to be part of our
"great educational exhibition" 1t
was all that and more; it educated
some people in vices which they have
never overcome, and it let down the
bars for the white slave traffic, only
all the slaves were not White-and
we have never been able to rid our
selves of the faint, nor will we, as
long as the world lasts.
That the same plans are afOot for
the proposed California exposition,
seems evident, from the paragraph
referred to.
Where are the women of Califor-
MIA? Are they ignorant of the vice
statistics of Chicago and st. Louis?
Have they not fitted themselves for
the tremendous new duties and re-
sponsibilities they have taken upon
themselves, to be posted on the why
of the large percentage of immortality
in their own beautiful State?
Will they permit this blot to rest,
before the Exposition opens, on what
they have been advertising as one of
the greatest and grandest eXpositions
the world will have ever witnessed?
Isn't it another proof that the
women of California are like the
women of Great Britain, who have
made themselves the laughing stock
of the entire civilized world-ignor-
ant of the conditions which they
have taken upon themselves to bet
ter?
What can be more appalling to a
people than to learn in this day of
enlightenment, that an exposition,
