DAKOTANS PICNIC AT OCEAN FRONT 150 MEMBERS OF SOCIETY GO TO HUNTINGTON BEACH Former Residents of Brown County, South Dakota, and Dickey County, North Dakota, Meet With Old-time Friends, Renew Acquaintances, and Swap Stories of Bygone Days on the Prairies—Addresses Made, Basket Dinner Enjoyed—Those Present (Continued from first page) made a lasting impression on my young mind, because of the noble character of the hero of the story, who was true and faithful to the woman who loved him and called him husband, while his heart was forever hidden in the bosom of the one whom he, in a fit of pettish jealousy, thrust aside, yet forever loved. We sincerely hope we will be rightly understood, and not be accused of being too sentimental, when we say that the stories that charm us most are the ones which have the greatest romance and the most ardent lovers. The songs that touch our deepest heartstrings and the ones we love to sing the most are the ones reveling in Love, for after all, laying all sentimentality aside, the grandest thing in all the world is love, when channeled in the right direction—love for the beautiful, love for the good, and love for the pure and noble. "Who sings?" said the spirit of music And smiled on her peers. "Sweet sorrow sing thou," Sorrowed answered. "I cannot for tears." Bright hope, give a tongue to the poems velop the latent powers within you and make metal of yourself, go to the land of the Dakotas, where nothing is limited, nothing is cramped, but an ever-ending source of resource. Coming down to the real thought and object of this paper, I wish to compare the laws of North Dakota and California as regards to woman, or as my introduction indicated as to myself; then you will see the significance of the title I gave to this paper and how I am between two loves. North Dakota loved me by protecting me with her laws, while I love California, but she does not love me. If she did she would throw about me her protecting arm, the law. In North Dakota both parents are made to have equal rights over their children, and in case of separation, all things being equal as to the ability of the parents, the preference is given to the mothers with children of tender years. But not so in California; the father is the sole guardian or custodian of the minor children. This is one of the most unjust, unreasonable laws that California imposes upon her women. The interest of the wife in the community property under the laws of California are open to criticism. According to present conditions the wife has no interest in such property—the legal title is her husband's and although she may have helped to earn it and in many cases been the larger factor in its acquisition, the husband has the absolute control of it (except testamentary), and can deed it away without her consent, put the money in his pocket and deal it out to her in nickels and dimes, as he may see fit. Do you not agree with me that the wife should have some say in the disposition of the community property, both a life interest and a testamentary disposition. the success of the press in favor of Woman Suffrage prejudicial to the best of the commonwealth, do our opposition to the fraternity of suffrage to women. The protest is still being ed and the list of names growing. In calling attention to significant fact, we desire a of the increasing interest men in their own person to politics. Men are taking critical duties much more than they did fifty years ago are spending much effort nesty, purity and intelligence, as the only way to strength and stability of this can only be taken by their part, a determination more time, more study, created zeal, to political ever before, and these dens women must share come factors in political affairs. On the other hand, women growing more widely and terrested in the duties naturally and inalienated When labor questions women-workers arise, public sense, and disturb peace, they are asking why it is that when women much justly to complainers outside the home, there much difficulty in obtaining helpers in the home, when crying need of every one complaining strikers. Work, under more comforts and with much better offered them only to be rejected. Why this should very important question which men never can so in no way depends upon sing the most are the ones reveling in Love, for after all, laying all sentimentality aside, the grandest thing in all the world is love, when channelled in the right direction—love for the beautiful, love for the good, and love for the pure and noble. "Who sings?" said the spirit of music And smiled on her peers. "Sweet sorrow sing thou," Sorrowed answered. "I cannot for tears." Bright hope, give a tongue to the poems I read in thine eyes. Hope answered, "My thoughts are all clouded And lost in the skies." "Then, joy, put thy mouth to the bugle, A note for my sake." Calm creature, she sleeps in the sunshine And will not awake. But Hush. A soft sound stealeth onward Like the flight of a dove. Ah, I find that the song that is sweetest Comes only from love. On reaching California I was much like a gallant young lover who met a fair maiden; it was love at first sight. I immediately exclaimed, "California for mine." Her snow-capped mountains, the balmy air, the sweet perfume of the orange blossoms, charmed me with an intoxicated love. Upon reaching San Bernardino I doubt not if there were those on the same train with me, who thought I must be an escape from an insane asylum, at my maneuvering when my eyes beheld for the first time a huge bank of California roses. And as to Old Ocean, the supreme moment of my life was when I stood for the first time with the ocean rolling at my feet. I did not think like the sheep herder, who gazed on Niagara Falls, and exclaimed in ecstacy, "What a magnificent place to wash sheep," but I thought of the height and breath, the length and depth of the mightiness of Almighty God. And so California did not have to woe me; I was an easy victim, for I immediately surrendered to her charms, and from that moment to this I have been her ardent admirer. But after the gush and enthusiasm were off, and I became domiciled in my new surroundings, the infatuation took on a more practical aspect and I awoke to the realization, as many a sweetheart has done who started out on life's pathway with the one of their choice, that California was more beautiful to look upon then to habitate with although she may have helped to earn it and in many cases been the larger factor in its acquisition, the husband has the absolute control of it (except testamentary), and can deed it away without her consent, put the money in his pocket and deal it out to her in nickels and dimes, as he may see fit. Do you not agree with me that the wife should have some say in the disposition of the community property, both a life interest and a testamentary disposition. Under the law as it now stands, all the community property on death of the wife goes to the husband without process or procedure; but on the death of the husband, only one-half of the community property goes to the wife. The husband may dispose of the community property by will, providing, however, that he wills her one-half; but the wife has no power to dispose of any of the community property by will. Again, I submit to you, is this fair? Or is it a just law for reasons that would be apparent to any intelligent person on a little reflection. Right in our own city of Anaheim, I have knowledge of a woman who has children who are minors, who also has a drunken, worthless husband, who never provided a roof over her head. She and the children by hard labor and economical methods are trying to purchase a home. If anything should happen to that mother before any of those minors become of age, that worthless father can step in and claim that property, because the law does not give the mother the power to deed or will. Going back again to North Dakota, that property to her children. gave to me the right of school-soutrage, and gave to me the right to vote on all school matters, from the trustees of the district school up to the state superintendent of public instruction, but upon coming to California I lost even that privilege. California women have no votes. We soon learn to boast that we of Californians, but honestly now and truly is not the yoke of her laws somewhat galling. OPPOSE VOTES FOR WOMEN Anti-Suffragette Gives Views on Pending Political Equality Question Editor Gazette.—The almost universal answer of men when asked to express an opinion in regard to woman suffrage is, that it is a question which women must decide for themselves. Anti-Suffragists have always felt this to be a great mistake. They have contended from the first that much justly to complainers outside the home, much difficulty in obtaining helpers in the home, while crying need of every one complaining strikers. Work under more comforts and with much better offered them only to be subjected. Why this should very important question which men never can so in no way depends upon is noticed by Dr. Jacobin, suffragist, in her book on frage entitled Common Says, "Notwithstanding ion of woman's civil right absolute exclusion from of a political sphere, the France engage more free where else in business and it might be added success. But at what a French nation today stays at the lack of increase rate, and the large increase fertility mortality, which reemployment of its women outside the home.

Anti-Suffragists have always felt this to be a great mistake. They have contended from the first, that to make so radical and far reaching a change in the electorate of the country, to place upon the shoulders of all women the heavy additional burdens of political duties, is a measure which must affect seriously the rights duties and responsibilities of every citizen, and in fact the whole social structure. Men have hitherto seemed strangely blind to this view of the case, or perhaps they were only waiting for the full outcome of argument and experiment in the matter. But in the past few years there has been a very decided awakening on their part. Prominent men here and there have indeed been urging the dangers of such a radical and unnatural change. Last winter at the legislature hearing in New York, such men as Ellhu Root, Nicholas Murray Butler, the president of Columbia University, Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, the late Richard Watson Gilder, and others equally well known in political, educational and literary circles, came out squarely on the Anti-Suffrage side. And now we have a protest from Massachusetts, signed by one hundred and fifty prominent men, including substantial leaders in the educational, religious, business and legal world. The protest reads as follows: "To the People of Massachusetts.—We the undersigned, believing that the poor almost equally proper instruction is giving honesty, purity and laborers in the field of almost unanimously telling seeds of social evils are first decade of a child when the law takes no its moral training, where church works at arms all, when the mother in and at the crib side, is tent moral agency who knows. Dr. Evans, Chicago's ful health commissioner reported: "Nearly all our economy would find solution, and hospitals and grave yards a large percentage of that if women from highest were educated to do, and their duty in their home. With such a statement ringing in our ears, is lay upon the shoulders new and untried dutile the great majority of call, no adaptation which believe to be incompatible that is highest and be necessary to the welfare in their own lives. The American Republic fore the world as the succession of masculine force which has made of a learned profession and trebled the productivity which girdles the earth merce, which digs deep depths unprecedented in which solves the might problems involved in the transcontinental railroad ter-oceanic canal for need, conducts negotiation." the success of the present agitation in favor of Woman Suffrage, would be prejudicial to the best interests of the commonwealth, do hereby affirm our opposition to the further extension of suffrage to women." The protest is still being circulated and the list of names is rapidly growing. In calling attention to this very significant fact, we desire also to speak of the increasing interest among men in their own personal relations to politics. Men are taking their political duties much more seriously than they did fifty years ago, and are spending much effort to bring honesty, purity and intelligence into politics, as the only way to preserve the strength and stability of the republic. This can only be taken to mean on their part, a determination to give more time, more study, more consecrated zeal, to political duties, than ever before, and these increased burdens women must share if they become factors in political strife. On the other hand, women are fast growing more widely and deeply interested in the duties which belong naturally and inalienably to them. When labor questions which affect women-workers arise, to shock the public sense, and disturb the public peace, they are asking themselves, why it is that when women have so much justly to complain of, as workers outside the home, there is so much difficulty in obtaining women helpers in the home, where there is crying need of every one of these complaining strikers. Less exacting work, under more comfortable conditions and with much better wages, are offered them only to be scornfully rejected. Why this should be so, is a very important question, and one which men never can solve. That it in no way depends upon the ballot The Best Cuts of MEAT Can be had here any time.

Less exacting work, under more comfortable conditions and with much better wages, are offered them only to be scornfully rejected. Why this should be so, is a very important question, and one which men never can solve. That it in no way depends upon the ballot is noticed by Dr. Jacobi, a well-known suffragist, in her book on Woman Suffrage entitled Common Sense. She says, "Notwithstanding the suppression of woman's civil rights, and their absolute exclusion from even a dream of a political sphere, the women of France engage more freely than anywhere else in business and history" and it might be added, with greater success. But at what a cost? The French nation today stands appalled at the lack of increase in its birth rate, and the large increase in its infant mortality, which result from the employment of its women in work outside the home. Why should women clamor for municipal house keeping when they have not yet solved questions of such deep importance, so closely related to their own home housekeeping. Another pressing fact which the new woman is urgently called upon to consider and deal with is, that largely for want of time and education along these lines, women are not paying adequate attention to the intimate training of their children in purity and self knowledge, and this leads by a very short and direct route to a state of social morals, against which scientists, physicians, reformers and clergymen are crying out. As social philanthropists carry their investigations below the surface of society, they first institute juvenile courts and homes and schools for abnormal children, but they soon find that all these do not stay the flood of vice, crime, disease and degeneracy which is being poured out upon society from the homes of the rich and the poor almost equally, where no proper instruction is given concerning honesty, purity and morality. The laborers in the field of reform will almost unanimously tell you that the seeds of social evils are sown in the first decade of a child's life, a time when the law takes no cognizance of its moral training, when even the church works at arms length if at all, when the mother in the nursery and at the crib side, is the only potent moral agency which the child enemies. All these are purely masculine enterprises. They require exclusively masculine brains as well as brawn. The republic gives wisely therefore, into the hands of men, the sole power to make the laws, to execute the laws, to judge the laws under which they shall be conducted. On the other hand American women at their best have a realm of labor and authority equally dignified and important, but which is governed by influences almost wholly above and beyond the dictation of statute-books. They are known the world over as the brilliant exponents of freedom, purity, self control, and all the higher and finer graces of life. They are the unique and forceful expression of the domestic, social and philantropic phases of the human soul. Having scarcely yet burst the chrysalis of old, enthralling customs and traditions, not yet wholly accustomed to the use of their new wings, they have still achieved an enduring triumph in their peculiar field which gives them leadership throughout the civilized world. They have an influence over the men of their own nation, such as the women of no other country possess. They owe this influence in a large degree to the fact that they are spared the hard, material 'abor' to which men in the pursuit of their natural career, devote themselves, and are thus given leisure and opportunity for the culture of those tender spiritual, graces for the possession of which men set them upon a pedestal and so reverence them as to be willing to grant them whatever favors, legislative or otherwise, they, as a sex, desire. All this is in the large. It is the ideal of American attainment and all points the way to the supreme achievement of glory and grace, in national life. But let the republic beware. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and the attempt to make statesmen of women would we believe, set back the hands upon the dial of progress, would reduce the virile force of the republic to the standard of the weaker sex, and seriously lower its power and prestige among the nations of the earth.

No man expects his creditors will gain admittance to heaven—else he wouldn't be so anxious to go there. "Chivalry is dead. Where is there a man who would draw a sword for a lady?"
