whether masculine or feminine.
Judge Perry's decision was made
during the hearing of an insurance sui
growing out of the death of Miss Can
daco. Wheeler, daughter of a New York
literary man who was drowned in
Bowle's Lake, near Denver last June
Woman is better today than she
ever was, just as society is better" he
says. 81 am not one of those who re-
greet woman's advancement, crying out
that it has robbed her of her womanli-
ness. 1t has robbed her of nothing and
has given her a great deal. When you
ask my opinion Of the modern woman
compared with the old-fashioned wom-
an, must confess l admire the woman
of today more.
"The idle waster of life, the selfish
woman scoffing at enthusiasts, does
more harm to society than those who
make mistakes in their zeal to be in
dependent These parasitical women
are not of yesterday. They exist today
and are the ones who do the real harm
in the solution of the woman question. /"

But in those days it was necessary fol
visitor to hide his face as he entered
a restaurant.
One Of the factors that led to the
downfall of the coast" was the Rev
kid" Wedge, former prize fighter
who, in a small Nebraska town
preached the Presbyterian faith until
he was forced from his pulpit because
of his former calling. Then he came to
San Francisco and engaged in Mission
airy work on the coast" Many a time
did he use his boxing skill to help out
his eloquence and not few times was
he laid low by the blackjack of some
thug. But his influence helped the re-
form movement and he left San Fran
cisco with the knowledge that his work
had not been in vain.
Mayor Rolph is credited with the re-
form of this historic tract, though for
years the influence that made it grow
were gradually working it's downfall
1t was the prospect of the big crowds
expected at the exposition of 1915 that
reused much of the sentiment against
the coast in the last few weeks. The
mayor decreed that the city should be
as clean morally as physically when
the guests arrived. Throughout the
city the same process has been going
on, though nowhere with such vigor.
With the last few resorts either clos
ing up entirely or masking their ac-
,ivities, the last. stand of the old regime
has come.

BARBARY COAST
GETS KNOCKOUT

4 SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-San
Francisco's "Barbary Coast" home of
romance, vice and crime, today has
| lapsed back into responsibility after
years of black guardism, adventure
and merry-making. The coast" was
the most famous tenderloin region of
the world. 1t lived through the earth
quake and thrived on sporadic efforts
! to reform it. Murder, robbery and alb
duction became so common that the
city had to rise against it and now it
is down for the count
The cleanup" came gradually and
only in the last few weeks has it's re-
form become complete. The city first
limited the sale of liquor. Vino" was
the oil that kept the white lights
burning, and when the oil ran low, the
lights grew dim. Summing parties
were next prevented from making their
nocturnal trips and thus the willy men
who lay in wait for young girls lost
much of their livelihood Then the
dance hall girls were banished and the
low halls of frolic became deserted.
But the coast" died hard Frequent
attempts were made by the dance hall
men and lodging house landlords to
stave off the millennium and they sue
ceeded for long time. But now com
mercialism supplants the clap trap
theaters and the garish lights are re-
placed by more sober business signs.
In the palmy day, when yet it was
the home of the harmless Bohemian
ism, the coast was frequented by many
literary men, notably Robert Louis
Stevenson. 1t is believed that the dis
trict got it's name from that rollicking
song in Treasure Island" which
closes: Down on the Coast of the
High Barbaree," song so often roared
out by the merry-makers in the cafes

DENVER JUDGE DECIDES
FOR WOMEN SMOKERS

DENVER, April Go on and
smoke, we tender maids; nip the cork
tip between your cherry lips and send
blue-white wreaths toward the Dutch
shepherdesses on your boudoir walls
For the court has decreed that smok-
ing is not degrading. Denver's mat
rons are still shuddering over that
court decree, particularly when the
court added that even swig at the
bottle is not atoken of depravity.
Judge John A. Perry of the district
court handed down this decision and
on Judge Perry's head the mo uncer-
tain tones" are still dropping. The
court explained, however, that person
ally he thought smoking unwomanly
though as far as the law is concerned
it cannot be held against the smoker

STATE RIGHTS AND STATE DUTIES

MOST of the reforms governmental matters demanded by the WI people could be easily worked out by State govern
 ents than by the Federal government States govern ens are closer than the national government M They are made geographical typographical industrial and social conditions Government from Washington must Oe confined to matters that the whole nation or becomes nonresident government This Nation is so large that there IS no longer any section that not in an insignificant minority
 The greatest danger that the country has had to face has been that resulting the fact that government has become too far removed the people, It must be brought closer The practical effective way of bringing it closer through To- cal government municipal and State Local govern en is by public that directly respo- sible to the people governed.
 That is the difference between State rights and New Ma topaism" The former from within The other is bureaucratic from without
 But there are State duties well State rights Ii States would always perform the former there would not be so much danger of the latter being invaded If the people of the sepr ate States would do their full duty citizens talk o Rooe- yelt's Ossawattamie theories would disappear
 Let those that things better take charge of the gov ement machinery that their and to work The mach- cry of the municipality and the State belongs to the people ot the municipality and State while the machinery of the Nation be- longs to Georgia New York Rhode Island and Texas and all the other wide-hung commonwealths.

The following story is told on Fred Tracy, the popular agent of the Alas ka Steamship Company:
 Fred was purser on one of the lin CTS plying to Alaska during the early rush. Three days out from Seattle one of the passengers walked up to him and said: "Purser, you must really find me place to sleep"
 Where in thunder have you been slepping?" asked Fred,
 Well" said the fellow, you see it's this way. I've been sleeping on a sick man, but he's getting better now and won't stand for it any more."- Cordova Times.
