WOMEN
MKP. MARGARET ALLEN'S at
tack on women i= arousing much
indignation among women who
are home bodies as well as those who
are suffragists. Mrs. Allen hit them all,
with cheerful impartiality. She paid:
"Woman as a rule should vote as her
husband does, or lacking n lnisbn!
should follow the example of her father
or brother. Women are too pro, t
imitate the butterfly to be good stu
dents of conditions.
"Women read trashy books, squander
money on useless display and are chief
supports of back-number i hurdles.
Women are frivolous, dogmatic and
poorly informed."
Mrs. Allen speaks of women as a
class. Her generalizations are too
wholesale. There are both mi i\ and
women —a-plenty of them—who have
their limitations and their failings, but
t'l pick out the failings and i rgui
therefore a sex is unfit for the ballot
would disfranchise the entire hu
race.
There's a homely Scotch saying, "It
taka a' kin' o' fowk to mak a worl."
The failing of the faddist Is he -or she
—wishes to .-tamp all humanity with a
common pattern, aa if people were lik<
the old-fashioned "prints" of butt'-r
with which farmers' wivs us^d to
adorn their guest tables.
Ami 'his is equally the drawback of
the censurer who talks sweepingly of !
human beings in the mass, forgetting
that individual instances cannot be ac-

CHAOTIC STREETS
CjONDITION of the streets forme ft I
aubjeci of complaints from many
different parts of the city. Borloui
Inconvenience and actual damage and
business loss are being caused by the
careless habit of tearing up pavement
and leaving the thoroughfare Impass
able. In West sixth street, Bunset
boulevard and wherever asphalt pave
men! has been laid by the city people
have had to suffw from the Incon- j
veniences ami perils of streets torn up
"today and all the time" and relald by
the railroads "manana."
The public was iust beginning to ur- 1
mcts on each side of the CM
track when the railroad company pro
; to throw up dirt over the newly
made pavement, rendering it all but im
i !)10.
Having thus landscaped the pave
ment with perilous dirt heaps, it Is the
nt practice of tho railroad com
panies to adorn the ruins with dull red
hint, ins, and having made this concea
slon to the public welfare, they allow
the decorated debris to remain heaped
and obstructive, week after week
month after month.
i Sanborn junction to the sis
tera' hospital not a single workman was
busy yesterday, although the street toi
miles was In a condition ol cha itlc
wreckage, and new ste. 1 was rusting
beside the tracks; while breaks In the I
small portion of asphalt laid by the
railroad revealed either poor material
or defective workmanship.
Surely there is something wrong
something amiss—about a Btreet de
partment's method of Inspecting si
when an Important part of the city
rnment waits for action on the
part of the aggrieved public Instead of
discovi '-me conditions from timer
ports submitted promptly by the paid
Inspei tors whose duty is to keep the
department well posted as to the condi
tion of streets, in order the departn I
may fi rce acl lon on the pan "'' dila
tory or can less corporatli ns or other
ob.-tru< tionists.
Ri cently a gas company tore up East
Santa Monica avenue and replaci
surface in a hurried, slipshod
Fashion as to ruin the surface for sev
eral blocks. Apparently no street in
spector has made any effort to force
the company to relay thi Btreet in a
proper manner.
Public welfare demands competent
street inspection and prompt action
thereon: and the condition of the
streets is always more or less a cri
terion of the all-around efficiency of
city government.
CITY ATTORNEY

A strong, capable, competent, ejepi rl

and Mr. Eddie possesses the characti r-
Istica and qualification?.
Mr. Eddie's work and worth are well
known to all cttiEens of Greater Loa

the managers of moving picture ex

Everything that is vulgar, suggestive,

Theodore Roosevelt's visit to Berlin
I brings out the fact Germany main
tains workers' colonies where men and
women who have spent lives of toll

are not paupers. The colonies arc il

An accident like that reported from
Walla Walla, Wash., should end capi

Therefore the punishment is merely
vengeful, not at all preventive, and
the 'tides of modern scientific crimi
nology puts the ban on vengeful
punishments on the ground they are
crime-breeders.

canine bones would serve to indicate
that the hound had been used as an
early breakfast.
When Jennie, a lioness, became a
mother in tin- winter quarters of the
circus in Bridgeport, Conn., about two
months ago her health failed rapidly
and she died in ten days. It was then
decided to see If Queenie, the hound,
who had Just lost her puppies, would
adopt the lion cubs, and she took up
the task as If they were her own.
Their health began to improve at
once, and it became evident that the
circus was not to lose one of Its valu
able assets, for lions are worth a lot of
money.
She trots off In the morning to the
cage in which the cubs are kept and is
Boon on her job as the nurse. At noon
and again at night she repeats the per
formance. As the cubs got strong
enough to stand upright Queenie tried
to get them to romp, but without suc
cess.
Now she gets an occasional little
scratch from her wards, and is getting
tired of her task. The cubs are taking
some raw meat daily, and as they will
BOOn be on a regular lion diet Queenlo
probably will be able to resign her posi
tion with her skin practically intact.

ANTI-WOMAN SUFFRAGE
OR ANTI.ANY SUFFRAGE?
LOS ANGELES, May 13.— [Editor
Herald]: "Any stick Is good enough
to beat another man's dog with." Llke
w ise even an anarchist's wild talk can
be utilized by the press to discredit
■woman -suffrage, nut at least we ought
to get it straight—which we don't.
When Emma Goldman inveighs
against votes for women, the newspa
pers—-In giving her words bold adver
tisement—entirely ignore the fact that
Kmma —like other anarchists—ls equal
ly opposed to votes for men. Tlius her
utterances do not weigh iigalnst "wom

and the news sheets should not blink
this fact. WIL.LOI TGHBY SMART.
