PROTECTION FOR W0MEu
What California Is Doing For Its Wild
ows and Orphans.

oWS and OrPHSnS.
California is progressing rapidly
towards the millennium. where peace
shall reign on earth. The legislature
of California is leading the civic pro-
cession in the enactment Of laws look
ing more to the comfort of humanity
than the saeredneSs of vested inter-
ests. Capital is gazing upon the per
formance with contempt, ridicule and
disgust. Women are to be more pro
tected by the state than ever One OF
the principal laws affecting them is
the passage or adoption of the blue
sky" law of Kansas. which compels
the various investment companies to
file with a salaried officer of the state
an account of their assets and liabili.
ties from time to time. This is a ter
rife blow to a large number of swind-
ling concerns that are thriving on the
credulity of widows and others who
fall easy prey to their advertising
wiles
But the state has gone further. 1t
is in paternal way guarding widows
having children. No widows child
need now through ignorance resort to
crime to get a living, nor need the
daughter of widow without means
OF her own become victim through
poverty of those accursed Influences
that are continually operating to cor
rupt young womanhood. This enact
ment is in way similar to the pen
sion act of the British parliament, al
though decidedly more liberal
Then minimum wage law for
women has been passed To pay
working girl or woman less than a
certain sum as weekly wage is to be
pepalized, and thus is avarice re
strained and the female who works
for living insured a compensation
that will provide an honest livelihood.
Also, as well, employment offices or
bureaus under state management and
control are to be established in all the
large cities of California. where
worthy white women and men seek
ing work can get information as to
employment without being swindled
by the numerous dishonest employ
ment agencies that frequently rob the
poor of their last coin.

A Tardu Act of Justice.

Marriages between English actresses
and men of high social position be-
gan in the eighteenth century, if no
earlier. There was Layinia Fenton
the Polly Peachum of Gays "Beggars
Opera" who became Duchess of BoI
ton; there was Miss Farren. who mar
ried Lord Derby; also Miss. Brunton
became Lady Craven not long before
Lord Thurlow married Miss Bolton
Earliest of the list though, comes the
Earl Of Peterborough who married
Anastasia Robinson, the singer, and
kept the marriage secret until few
days before his death in St James
palace, when he assembled his relatives
and friends and publicly acknowledged
the woman ITO whom he owed the
best and happiest hours of his life"
tardy act of justice that caused the
lady to swoon away.

VOICE CULTIVATION.

1t Is Said That the Average American
Needs 1t Badly.
The American voice lacks cadence.
The touch of harmony is lacking. In
depth or shrillness its strongest quail
ty is monotony of tone.
In conversation it is colorless. and
half of the resources of the vocal cords
are unused or undeyeloped. strident,
high pitched, nasal voice fails in say
ing any good thing WELL
Every one has the power of speaking
with sweet infection. Every one can
attain reposefu utterance and clear
enunciation by training the ear and
voice to work together in avoiding
harsh tones and culhvating the middle
and more mellow register in every
voice.
Excitement sends it up to a scream
ing pitch, but self control will lower
it again. and its playground should be
through the varying harmonies or ca
dences of five notes
According to Thomas Wentworth
Higginson, our English cousins put
more cadence, more up and down, into
an inquiry, What time is it?" than
Americans would into the announce
ment that a president was shot. A
crowd of baseball fans will pitch the
cheering on a high note and yell it.

Europeans the shouting would be full
or undertones and cadences. They

WE are told that the cigar man

Cigar Makers Union No. 1913 are
holding meetings for the purpose
of devising some method of Great
ing demand for home made cigars.
This is necessary for the employer
and employee because both have
suffered in this city by the dealers
and saloons buying outside goods.
The saloo list says it is the custo-
mer that demands outside cigars.
We say if the dealer would not in
troduce the outside non union
cigars the customer would never
call for them. 1t is about time the
saloons are waking up.

POVERTY AND CHILD LABOR.

Does 'stild labor create pow
erty? Dr. A. j. Mex elway OF
Virginia discusses this question
in the last child labor bulletin
and concludes that child labor
reduces the wages of adults. He
cites figures concerning the
wages OF 32,409 operatives In
southern cotton mills and says,
The wages of the adult are
measured by the wages that will
satisfy the child worker or his
parents. The manufacturer be-
lieves in equal pay for equal
work. and it is very profitable
doctrine in keeping down the
wage scale
DR. McKelway believes that IL
q million children under sixteen
could be taken out OF industry In
the United States it would lead
to increased wages for adults.

UNITED STATES TROOPS FORCE MEXICANS TO FLEE
 SOUTHWARK

Laredo, Tex, April 24.-Nuevo La redo, the thriving Mexican border town opposite this place, was in ruins today, devastated by the dynamite and fire set by Mexican Federal sol diers, who late yesterday began an or gy of destruction which did not end until they were forced to flee south ward before the guns of the American border patrol.
 Two Mexicans are known to have been killed by the United States troops. Several brisk skirmishes between the Americans and Mexieans Were fought in quick succession as the MeXicans, their troop trains ready to pull out of the burning city, began an indiscriminate fire across the in ternational boundary, but last night there were no evidence that their shooting had been effective.
 Property damage in Neuvo Laredo will reach $500 900, among the build ings destroyed being the United States consulate, the municipal build ings, the postoffice, the theater, the flour miP, one of the largest in this section oi the southwest, the railroad

shops of the Mexican National rail way and other smaller structures. At a late hour last night the fire was still burning, with no chance that it would be controlled until everything inflammable had been wiped out
 There was no property loss in La redo. Both international bridges are safe, though efforts to dynamite them resulted in the death of two men en- gagged in the undertaking. One Mex ican was shot by sharpshooter from the top of the water tower. The Mex ican was trying to reach the end of the international foot and wagon bridge. Another was killed when he tried to blow up the Mexican end of the international railroad bridge American soldiers are constantly sta tioned at the American end to pre- vent such an attempt.
 When the Mexicans finally departed order was quickly restored in Laredo, but strong guards remained through out the city. A serious problem was furnished immigration and city au- thorities by the presence here of hun dreds of refugees from the burning city, who had to be furnished food and shelter.
 The Federal garrison evacuated Neuvo Laredo yesterday, supposedly going to Saltillo or Monterey. With their departure the busy little city, ordinarily of about 1000 population,

BANKERS PROPER
 AID FOR MILITIA WOULD ADVANCE FUNDS TO EQUIP ARKANSAS NATION AL GUARD FOR WAR
 SERVICE.

Little Rock, April 25.-During the week now closing the headquarters of the Arkansas National Guard has shipped to the various companies com posing the two regiments a total of $18,000 worth of ordnance and quar- termaster stores. This places the State Guard upon war footing, with the exception of two companies, from which no requisition have yet been received.
 Geore w. Rogers, president of the Arkansas Bankers Association, has written Gov. Hays as follows
 At the outbreak of the Spanish War in 1898, Governor Jones was called upon by the United State gov ernment to furnish two regiments of troops.
 The state was then as now with out funds, Gov. Jones called upon the Arkansas Bankers Association, and sary to equip and put in the field the two regiments were advanced.
 "l want to say to you that the bankers of Arkansas, members of the Arkansas Bankers Association, are just as patriotic in the year 1914, as in the year 1898. In case you are called upon to furnish troops, and if you are without the necessary and proper funds, the banks, members of the Arkansas Bankers Association, will be glad to advance to you any sum of money that may be needed to uphold the honor and dignity of the state
 Replying, Gov. Hays said: Il thank you sincerely for the kind offer made oy you on behalf of the Arkansas Bankers Association to furnish the funds necessary to equip and put into the field two regiments of volunteers. Should it become necessary to take advantage of your kind offer l will be glad to communicate with you but am of the opinion that the Federal Government would make the neces- sary arrangements for the equipment and transportation of such troops as may be required"

The Supreme Court held that the act is constitutional.

LOCAL COMPANY
 READY FOR CALL co. 4 HAS EIGHTY MEN CAPT. CUNNINGHAM SAYS 65 COULD BE MUSTERED IN
 WITHIN "A HOURS.

Should President Wilson see fit to call into service the Arkansas Nation al Guards, Company A, located at Conway, would be one of the first companies to respond, according to Captain (. L. Cunningham. With an enlistment of about 80, the most of whom are able to pass the medical ex- animation that would be required be fore entering regular service, Cap- tain Cunningham said today that he would be ready to leave Conway with in "A hours after being called, with full company of 65 men. The only order received from headquarters by the local militiamen is to be ready should Company A be called. It is thought, however, that the Arkansas Guards will not be put into service as there are probably enough men in the regular army to cope with the MeXicans.
 The local militia company was or ganized September 20, 1911, with the following officers o. D. Longstreth, captain; Abner Jones, first lieutenant; Ernest Douglass, second lieutenant: Theodore Smith, first sergeant; c. L. Cunningham, Jo McCulloch. H. B.
 Dayton J. C. Donnell and Ernest Newborn, sergeants, Chester C. Court ney Allan Fason, Dewitt Parsons
 Henry Mabry and B. Frizzell, cor porals; William E. Allison and Roy
 Rogers, musicians; Eugene Wardloe and George Parker, cooks. In April, 1912, Second Lieutenant Douglass re- signed and was succeeded bu Ser oeant Cunningham. Upon the resig- nation of Captain Longstreth in
 March, 1913, First Lieutenant Gun ningham was promoted to the cap taincy of the company, thereby being promoted from sergeant to captain within one year, an advancement
 rarely made.
 The present personnel of the com-
 missioned officers of the company is
 as follows: C. L. Cunningham, cap
 tain; J. Clyde Donnell, first lieuten-
 ant; Adam L. Harris, second lieu tenant.
 During the past two weeks, and
 until further notice, practice drills
 have been held at the armory from | three to five times week. The com pany will be inspected on May 1, by
 Captain A. B. Sloan of the regular
 army and Major A. c. Bradford, as- sistant adjutant general of the Ar kansas National Guards.
