PROGRESS VS. SUFFRAGE Opponent of Political Equality States Views in Strong Paper Editor Gazette.—The suffrage movement is more than fifty years old, and has therefore run parallel with the progress of women which has marked this era. Suffragists declare that much of this progress is due to the woman suffrage movement, which the opponents of such suffrage deny, because they believe that the principles and the results of the suffrage agitation are at variance with any true advancement either of woman or of the state. Evidence that woman suffrage is not deemed progressive is seen in the following facts. In making up their reviews of the year's progress, the public prints make no mention of the successes of woman suffrage. The states where woman has made most progress are those in which woman suffrage bills have been most steadily and decisively defeated. There has been slight improvement if any, in the laws of the states where women vote, due to the fact of that vote; and, in some ways, the progress of those states is behind that of other states. If the suffrage movement were to disband today and no woman ever vote, not a single great interest would suffer. None of woman's wide philanthropies would be harmed; woman colleges would be unaffected; the profession would continue to give diplomas to qualified women; tradesmen would still employ women, good laws would not be repealed, and bad laws would be no more likely to be framed; literature would not suffer; homes would be no less secure; woman's civic work would not cease; a bi" making women eligible as the school trustees was defeated in Kentucky in 1827, and one requiring that at least one-third of the members of boards of education appointed by mayors should be women, was defeated in New York in 1899. Suffrage leaders claim that the change of laws, making them more favorable to women, is largely owing to their demands, but this can be distinctly disproved. In their published History the leaders say that one of the causes that lead to their movement was "the discussion in several of the state legislatures of property questions in regard to married women," showing that this agitation preceded the work of the suffrage organization. The suffrage movement began in 1848, but in 1844 Rhode Island had passed such laws, and Connecticut, Massachusetts, Texas and New York passed such laws in 1848-49. In 1881 the suffrage leaders in New York inquired, Who was responsible for the married woman's property-rights bill, and whether any debates had preceded it? To which Hon. George Geddes replied, that Judge Fine was responsible, and that there was no debates, and but one petition, which he (Mr. Geddes) presented from personal friends. Mr. Geddes added, We all felt that the laws regulating married women's as well as married men's rights demanded careful revision and adaptation to our times and our civilization. In 1850-52, Alabama and Maine passed similar laws. In 1853, New Hampshire, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa made radical changes. In 1849, Ohio, Maine, Indiana and Missouri has passed the laws giving to married women the right to their own earnings. The New York state suffrage association reports that during twenty-two years it had urged but three bills relating to anything but suffrage,and small pores of the water can. And that is the which this year has instimable benefi mers, and which they will adopt, now the nefit has been so. The system is no alone, but for what fact, for any grain plant. As an example less will do may be Arthur H. Youman man's has just tha which he cultivated method.

The rains failed, winds blew the new went down as bel And Youmans' wh drought without fl harvest time came harvested fifty-two acre and his neigh than one-third as s With his corn Y even better success His neighbors plo couple of times an The suffrage movement is today allied with co-education as against woman's higher education in colleges of her own; with "isms" as against tried principles; with prohibition as against temperance; with Mormonism as against separation of church and state, with socialism as against representative government, with radical labor movements as against the best organized and unorganized efforts of wage earning men and women; with "economic independence" and the co-operative household as against family life and the home. Higher education for woman has been the special mark of her progress in this era; but the men and women who founded her colleges received neither inspiration nor aid from suffrage workers who strove chiefly to "break down the sex barrier in education" and directed their efforts to the advocacy of co-education rather than to the establishment of the higher education. Enlightened discussions of great questions of public policy should be called out by the suffrage idea; but there are none on record. For example, divorce for several causes was the first legislation demanded by the suffragists, and today their standing committee on divorce "reform" demands joint legislative action by women, concerning divorce, but makes no suggestion as to the value or the trend of such action. Nor do they give intelligent reasons for such bills as the one so long urged by them, asking that the wife should have separate earnings and a valuation placed upon her labor in the household. It is most fortunate that no amount of such pressure has made American legislators look upon marriage as a business co-partnership or consider that progress requires married men's rights demanded careful revision and adaptation to our times and our civilization. In 1850-52, Alabama and Maine passed similar laws. In 1853, New Hampshire, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa made radical changes. In 1849, Ohio, Maine, Indiana and Missouri has passed the laws giving to married women the right to their own earnings. The New York state suffrage association reports that during twenty-two years it had urged but three bills relating to anything but suffrage,and that those three did not originate with the association. Twenty-one of the suffrage bills were defeated. Of the suffrage bills, three referred to school matters,of which two were lost. The professions were not opened to women through suffrage agitation. When that movement began,a dozen women were already studying medicine in this country,and the medical missionary was the pioneer.Here again,it was co-education,not education,that suffrage leaders urged.As to the ministry,two of the early suffrage leaders were preachers. In 1851 Mrs. Stanton wrote to a suffrage convention: "The trades and professions are all open to us." Mrs. Dall said: "I do not believe any one in this room has an idea of the avenues already open to woman." "Make her equal before the law,and wages will adjust themselves." The "her" to whom suffrage speakers refer is always the married woman;for the single woman had long possessed legal equality,but her wages had not adjusted themselves to equality with man's.Laws were soon made which were largely in the married woman's favor as against her husband,but the market value of her business services were not raised or lowered on that account. The raising of a false standard of value is not progress,and the suffrage contingent is now face to face with a new problem in the field of labor,that of a man's right to a home and the wherewithal to support a family. The life of modern scientific investigation is embraced in the period of which we speak,and its powerful voice is uttered against putting woman in man's place.The specialization of function proclaims the sphere of woman,while it exalts the importance of that sphere.Sex antagonism is the corner stone of the suffrage movement,while sex harmony is the foundation of woman's progress as seen in the light of science and Christian civilization.

It is most fortunate that no amount of such pressure has made American legislators look upon marriage as a business co-partnership or consider that progress required them to place wives in the attitude of hired servants of their husbands. Education as well as religious decency received a blow from these professed friends of woman's progress when the authoritative members of the association issued the "Woman's Bible." The hollowness of suffrage claims to be progressive may be further judged by the fact that no writings concerning the condition or needs of the public schools have been published by those who are using school suffrage as a stepping stone to political advance. Suffrage agitation has secured school suffrage for women in twenty-five states, but it has not succeeded in inducing any great number of women to go to the polls and vote on school matters. On the contrary, the unwise pressure brought to bear on legislatures and public officials by suffrage workers has hindered the natural progress of women in connection with non-political public school work. The small fluctuating and sometimes manipulated school-suffrag vote is proving of little advantage and an expense, and therefore in two states, Connecticut and Ohio, its abolition has been proposed. School suffrage bills have been defeated in five states in the past three years, and The life of modern scientific investigation is embraced in the period of which we speak, and its powerful voice is uttered against putting woman in man's place. The specialization of function proclaims the sphere of woman, while it exalts the importance of that sphere. Sex antagonism is the corner stone of the suffrage movement, while sex harmony is the foundation of woman's progress as seen in the light of science and Christian civilization. Helen Kendrick Johnson. Los Angeles, Aug. 5. DRY FARMING SUCCEEDS Scientific Method of Conserving the Moisture Stands Test of Heated Term CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 5. — The long, hot drought through which the trans-Missouri country has just passed, demonstrated as nothing else could do the value to the plains country of the system of agriculture called "dry farming." It showed the farmers of Wyoming, western Nebraska and Colorado that if they would be successful they must adopt to a certain extent the system which has been worked out by the scientific agriculturists. In fact, dry farming this season proved the salvation of the corn and wheat crop in many sections of the west. Briefly, the system is simply to conserve and to get the benefit of every drop of water that falls. The winter rains and the melted snows sink into the soil. Then the dry farmer keeps the surface of the ground broken up, and so prevents the moisture from being absorbed into the air. Where the surface hardens and dries, all the water will evaporate, but if the surface be pulverized the ANAHEIM GAZETTE small pores of the earth are broken, and the water can not evaporate. And that is the simple system which this year has proven itself of inestimable benefit to western farmers, and which thousands of others will adopt, now that its practical benefit has been so clearly shown. The system is not intended for corn alone, but for wheat, oats and, in fact, for any grain which farmers plant. As an example of what the process will do may be cited the case of Arthur H. Youmans of Brock. Youmans has just threshed the wheat which he cultivated by the dry farming method. As a result, he harvested fifty-two bushels to the acre for forty acres. Surrounding farmers harvested from fifteen to nineteen bushels per acre. All planted under the same conditions, the soil was similar and from all indications the yield should have been the same. But Youmans cultivated his wheat by the dry farming method, and the other farmers handled theirs as their fathers did before them. Youmans harrowed his wheat fields time after time, keeping the surface of the soil broken up and pulverized and preventing the evaporation of the moisture. His neighbors put their wheat in, harrowed it once and left it to the mercies of nature. The rains failed, and when the hot winds blew the neighbors' wheat all went down as before a prairie fire. And Youmans' wheat stood the evil drought without flinching. When the harvest time came around Youmans harvested fifty-two bushels to the acre and his neighbors garnered less than one-third as much. With his corn Youmans will have even better success than with wheat. His neighbors plowed their corn a couple of times and then "laid it by." Wise or Innocent? He met her one night at a reception and asked her to go to the theater with him. She accepted, and, as they liked each other, they went again later. Then it got to be a weekly occurrence. Finally he got to thinking that he was solid enough with her to go out between the acts, and so he did. For several weeks he worked this and met with no rebuff. But she was thinking a lot, even though she wasn't saying anything. One evening she said, "Why don't you go to the smoking room to smoke instead of going to the lobby?" "Is—is there a smoking room inside?" he asked. "Of course. You always say that you are going out to smoke, and it seems so useless to have to take your hat and coat every time. And if you thought of it beforehand you could buy those cigarettes that you seem to like—the ones that smell like cloves, you know—before you come." He is wondering if she is as wise as it seems or as innocent as it appears.—Boston Traveler. House Numbers. Before the advent of the house number only business signs, coats of arms and house names marked the different buildings. Then, in London, for instance, one had to look for Mr. Jones, should he desire to call upon that man, in say, "Whitechapel, not far from the Blue Boar." It is thought Berlin in 1795 was the first city to employ the numbering system. The German innovators did not put odd numbers on one side of their streets and even numbers on the other. They merely started from the Brandenburg gate and numbered straight ahead, taking no account of change of street. As they proceeded, therefore, the numbers grew higher, the height to which they attained being limited only by the supply of houses. The first house they numbered was No. 1, the last the number that betokened the total number of houses in the city.—St. Louis For First-Class Fumigating You should have a man who knows how.

And Youmans' wheat stood the evil drought without flinching. When the harvest time came around Youmans harvested fifty-two bushels to the acre and his neighbors garnered less than one-third as much. With his corn Youmans will have even better success than with wheat. His neighbors plowed their corn a couple of times and then "laid it by." Not so with Youmans. He harrowed his corn twice, plowed it four times with an ordinary cultivator, twice with a small shoveler cultivator, and will continue to plow it as long as the corn needs it. When the soil in his neighbors' fields was baked brown and carried a hard crust on its surface, Youmans corn fields were 4 inches deep in a dust. The moisture evaporated from his neighbors' fields, but remained down below the dust in his own. And when the hot winds blew the neighbors' corn folded up its blades and withered under the fierce heat. TRAINING GIRLS TO BE FARMERS' WIVES The Agricultural College of the University of Missouri will offer special courses in technical training for girls for the first time this fall. She need not study field crops, and she will not have to learn to pitch hay and plant corn, though some of the theories of crop rotation and soil preservation will be taught her, in case she should marry a armer who does not know these things. Poultry, drying, gardening, forestry and farm management will be among the courses the girls can enter. In addition, all work in home economics will also count toward the degree in agriculture. The degree of bachelor of science in agriculture will be conferred on women who have completed the women's agricultural course. Thus does farming become "co-ed," and a heavy influx of women into the college is predicted. Beginning this fall the Agricultural College will admit high school graduates to its courses. The effect of this, it is thought, will be to divert large numbers into agriculture, which is just now offering the best opportunities of any professional field. Practically every graduate in agriculture is either teaching in some college, has a government or state position, is manager of some large farming concern, has entered agricultural system.

The "stolic" meal had attractions for Edward Fitzgerald, who, among his other peculiarities, hated to see people enjoying their food. On one occasion, after a man had finished a glass of wine in his company and gone out of the room, Fitzgerald remarked, with disgust: "Did you notice how he took up his glass? I am sure he likes it. Bah!" Fitzgerald himself, according to his biographer, Mr. A. C. Benson, "lived practically on bread and fruit, mostly apples and pears, even a turnip, with sometimes cheese or butter and milk puddings. But he was not a bigoted vegetarian. To avoid an appearance of singularity he would eat meat at other houses and provided it in plenty for his guests. But the only social meal he cared to join in was 'tea,' pure and simple, with bread and butter." Where Every One Is a "Majesty." Who are the politest people in Europe? If common speech is any criterion, surely the Spaniard must carry off the palm. The author of "Herole Spain" tells of many high flown phrases still in common use. You bid farewell with "Beso a V. la mano" (I kiss your hand) or "A los pies de V." (I am at your feet). The Usted, shortened to V., with which you address high or low, is a corruption of "your majesty."

FINED FOR LIQUOR SELLING Epifanio Pacheco went to jail on Thursday because he was unable to pay a fine of $100 imposed by Judge Cox of Santa Ana. Pacheco was guilty of keeping a place at Talbert, at which place liquors were sold. Robert Duarte, a Mexican, aged 50 years, was set free because a little girl, Alfreda Gibbons, aged 11, was either too much frightened or too ignorant to give a coherent account of the felonious assault alleged to have been offered her by Duarte at Newport Beach a few days ago. Philip Gibbons aged 14, Louis Spingath aged 12, and Lyman Dusenbury aged 10, who escaped from the detention home last week were caught at Newport Beach. The first night out the boys slept in the hay in a barn. The second night they slept on the sand under the board walk at Laguna Beach, and last Wednesday night the runaways spent at the home of a friend of young Gibbons at Newport Beach.
