Red Blood.

The red blood fiction of these
times is much concerned with doom ;
for passing souls the churchbell
chimes, and graveyards have a
boom; the heroes, stepped, in CORY
crimes, are agents of the tomb. The
cowboy still infests the scene and
plies his smoking gun, although his
grave has long been green, his
tribal race is run, and henrycars
burn gasoline where once he had
his fun. And in the north the kill
ers wade through snow, day after
day, and dig a pathway with spade
to people they would slay, and
many vengeful debts are paid in
blood, the good old way. In muir
der ships the weapons pop, fired by
pirate crowd, and able seamen
reel and drop, all ready for the
shroud; this is the hectic sort of
slop our scl1oolboys are allowed. l
ask no wishy- washy fare for grow
ing girls and boys; a tactful murder
here and there the healthy soul en-
joys, but when there's bloodshed
everywhere, it wearies and annoys.
And kids are prone to say, Cad
cooks! We find it written down,
in wholesome, red blood, herman
books, by authors of renown, that
blood should flow in crimson brooks,
SO we'll shoot up the town" l have
three bullets in my shanks, and
seven rusty nails, the outcome of
exultant pranks, by boys who read
such tales, and l am numbered with
the cranks for filing kicks and walls.

CLUB WOMEN STUDY
THE WRIGHT ACT
AND OTHERS

The California Federation of Wom
en- Clubs is backing the Wright en-
forcement act coming up on referen'
DUN at the November election. The
leader in the editorial department OF
the last Clubwoman, the organ of the
federation, urges that work in behalf
of the measure be carried on, saying
that endorsement of the bill will have
little effect unless backed by work
and votes at the election. She quotes
Oliver Wendell Holmes who once said,
II find the great thing i'll. this world
is no so much where we stand as in
what direction we are going The
editor adds, 1--WE might stand forever
for the Wright Bill, but how are we
moving toward its accomplishment -
1t is held that the proposition if
carried would make the violation of
the yolstead act state offense and
would permit offenders to be tried
before the state OF the federal courts,
thereby relieving the federal courts Of
much congestion.
1t is not prohibition measure but
purely and simply an enforcement act.
The passage would simply put the
law enforcing machinery of the state
behind the Eighteenth Amendment
making it obligatory for every state
officer to live up to his oath of office
and to help enforce the Constitution
of the United States.
The clubs of Imperial county, almost
without exception, will study this
measure and others of vital Importance
to women at their meetings before the
November election. Both sides of the
argument will be given at these meet
ings as is the custom in federated
clubs.
The Ten Thousand Club will give
two meetings to legislative programs
which viii be open to all who wish to
hear the discussions on the measures to
be voted upon. Men and women will
be invited. The first meeting will be
held on Thursday, Oct. 10.
