CLUB women of San Jose. evidently with a deep
sense of responsibility Hs to the duties imposed by their
recent acknowledgements, this week started a painstaking
study of municipal government and local politics.
The new charter, written by Prof. +. A. Reed OF the
University of California. will go into effect July lst. Four
of San loses best known business men have been elect
ed to the council, having powers like those OF a board
OF directors, and they will name a city manager who
will have executive powers over AN the departments OF
the city government.
Two years ago the club women employed Prof. Reed

Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need

Nor check the flow OF the golden sards
That rum through a single hour;
But the morning dew must fall,

Must do their part and perform it all

Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And a blessing, failing It's once or twice,
May come il we try again.
The path that HAS once been trod
Is never so rough for the feet;
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears must fall,
And the heart to its depth be riven
With storm and tempest, we need them all
To render lis fit for heaven.

SAID THINGS WORTH REPEATING

Mrs. Kate Vaughn, known throughout California
for her splendid work in domestic science, i'll a recent
lecture in Stockton. said many good Things, among
which were the following:
women spend three-fourths of the wealth men
make in the United States. They should be taught how.
"A child of 6 should be given a definite sum, SAY
Is cents a week, for spending money to see what sine
will do with lit. When she is 10 she should be given a
larger sum, always understanding that SHE can have no
more when that is gone. BY the time she is a young
woman she will know how to buy her own clothes and
be ready for the larger business OF administering a
home and family.
Men make life a business proposition. Women
take it as a sentimental journey.
Why do not husband ard wife get together to pam
for their households as the council. plans for the clty's
needs?
ECONOMY is the proper administration of a house

"a woman working at the lowliest labor outside Of
her home would make Is cents an hour; at only eight
hours a day that would be Sl4 a week. Why should she
be made to beg her husband for S.?
"Matrimony-It should be brIt like your beautiful,

AMERICAS WARS.
CKansas City Starr


In recent speech in which he
attacked the presidents policy of
preparedness Mr.. Bryan said: The
plan is not only a departure from
our traditions, but also a reversal Of
cur national policy. This nation has
won its position in the world with
out resorting to the habit of toting
a pistol or carrying a club"
Mr. Bryan must surely know bet
ter than that. He must know that
this nation won its very existence by
resort to arms. 1t was born in war
nursed in the war Of 1912, and its
life saved by the civil war Since
the revolutionary war, 13s years
ago. this nation has been in four
wars. that of 1912, the Mexican war,
the civil war and the Spanish war;
= war, roughly speaking, for each
80 years OF our national life. In
this last war Mr.. Bryan became a
pistol tOter" himself, when he en-
listed In 1898 TO fight Spain.
Not only has this nation been in
five wars, but has narrowly escaped
many others. IL nearly went 10 war
with France in Jefferson's time over
the embargo acts by which France
tried TO keep our ships out Of neu-
trail ports. We went so far then as
TO have naval encounter or two
with France, but the dispute. a pure
~ commercial one, was patched up.
We nearly went to war with Eng
land over the oregon boundary
question when the slogan "fifty-fOur
forty, or fight" had US almost UP in
arms. We were almost at the point
Of war with Chilli in Harrison's time ;
with England over Venezuela; with
Germany over Venezuela, and with
in the present year we have had our
troops in Mexico, actually fighting.
The Monroe doctrine is a chip on
Uncle Sans shoulder that has al
most plunged US in war many times,
and that is bound 10 get us into in
ternational dispates in the future.
1t would be no departure from
American traditions if the United
states should have another war. IL
would be a departure from those
traditions if it were prepared to con-
duct the war efficiently.

THE NOTE TO FRANCE.
(Hartford. Conn. Post.N

hartford, conn.,, POST.
The principle for which the Unit
ed States contended in the war of
1912 was the freedom Of American
ships from search by England and
the freedom of American sailors
from seizure as a result OF such
search. a modification of this prin-
ciple is involved in the note which
is TO be dispatched to France as
result OF search OF vessels flying the
American flag by the cruiser Des-
cartes. and the seizure of German
citizens passengers thereupon.
Every sovereign state regards it's
flag as an absolute protection against
such search and seizure on the high
seas, except at the hands or a foe
in time of war. This is, of course,
clearly recognized in all chancel-
tories and state departments and
the relations of this nation and
France are such that a prompt and
satisfactory readjustment Of the diff
ficulty is to be expected.
