INVITATION TO MR. TAFT Civic Organizations Request his Presence at Ground Breaking (Correspondence of The Gazette) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.—The commercial organizations of this city and state have been requested to pass resolutions appealing to the President of the United States to come to this city in October or November to participate in the ground-breaking ceremonies of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. While the president has shown a willingness to come, it is believed that, if the West expresses its earnest desire that he visit us, it is thought it will have a good effect on the Chief Executive of the Nation. It has been suggested that telegrams be sent to the representative business men of the west, urging the influential papers to publish editorials urging President Taft to come here for the important ceremonies. It is thought that this telegraphic campaign will have the same effect on the president as did the thousands of telegrams that were sent to him during the fight for congressional recognition in January last, when the west appealed to president Taft to use his influence in favor of San Francisco as the site for the holding of the great world’s international exposition to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. The directors of the Panama-Pacific exposition are doubly anxious to have the president come here. They plan to arrange a week's celebration to celebrate the breaking of ground for the great exposition and they feel that if the president participates in the ground breaking ceremonies 000 in gold and yet the mining industry is practically in its infancy. Foreign capital is being attracted to the mining industry in California today to a greater degree than at any previous time, and the display which California will make of its mineral resources will still further attract the attention of the thousands of foreign investors who will visit the exposition in 1915. “Undoubtedly, among the mineral counties of the state, or the counties noted for their great output of gold and other mineral metals, Nevada county will lead. Nevada county is the oldest mining county in California. It has produced in the aggregate $300,000,000 in gold, and is producing from its quartz veins today a larger quantity of gold per annum, than at any time in its history. Not only is Nevada county producing a larger quantity of gold, but it is also demonstrating that the veins of California go down to an interminable depth. The North Star mine of Grass Valley having attained a depth of 5400 feet, while the Empire mine, the oldest gold quartz mine in California, has attained a depth of over 4000 feet. These mines, although among the very oldest in the state, are still the greatest producers of gold. “Nevada county, when the time comes, will be to the front with an unparalleled exhibit of gold quartz specimens and also nuggets for which the county is famous. The residents of the county are looking forward to the exposition as an opportunity for exploiting the great mineral resources that are still lying dormant, and the supervisors, when the time arrives, will undoubtedly make the necessary appropriation for the maintenance of a mineral exhibit which shall be LIBERAL WOMEN Statutes of California prive Her of H Editor Gazette.—Fawcett is expressed in two words positive beneficial enactment by laws refusing to imitate upon one person, or imposes upon another first of these are cases.

The directors of the Panama-Pacific exposition are doubly anxious to have the president come here. They plan to arrange a week’s celebration to celebrate the breaking of ground for the great exposition and they feel that if the president participates in the ground breaking ceremonies the attention of the entire world will be directed to the 1915 project. Edward B. Webster, chairman of Oakland’s progress and prosperity committee suggests to the directors that if President Taft is invited to visit this city in October to participate in the ground breaking ceremonies, that former President Theodore Roosevelt be included in that invitation, “he being the only ex-president living and the man above all others who really brought the Panama canal into America’s industrial life, and to whom great honor and credit should be given.” A dispatch received from W. R. Townsend, who is representing the exposition in the Sacramento valley, states that the board of supervisors of Yuba county has unanimously passed a resolution to levy the full six-cent tax on the $100 for exposition purposes. As the total assessment roll of Yuba county is $7,800,000, the tax levied will produce $4680 annually. An authors and journalists congress under auspices of the Pacific coast women’s press association during the fair of 1915 is the plan of Ina Coolbrith, the well known California writer. She has the co-operation of Mrs. Gertrude Atherton, the famous novelist, and is promised every assistance by prominent literary men and women and devotees of literature in carrying out our idea. Some time ago Miss Coolbrith in behalf of the association made application for the endorsement of the proposed congress, by the directors of the exposition company. Miss Coolbrith in her letter said: “The Pacific coast press association has been in existence for twenty-five years and was designed to contain the women of the Pacific coast to follow writing as a profession or an occasional occupation; to cultivate literary standing and activity among its members, and to also serve as a center of literary study and work on the Pacific coast. “In connection with the proposed “Nevada county, when the time comes, will be to the front with an unparalleled exhibit of gold quartz specimens and also nuggets for which the county is famous. The residents of the county are looking forward to the exposition as an opportunity for exploiting the great mineral resources that are still lying dormant, and the supervisors, when the time arrives, will undoubtedly make the necessary appropriation for the maintenance of a mineral exhibit which shall be without parallel in the history of California.” Frank Clemens of Seattle is driving a pair of deer to this city en route to New York. Clemens declares that his team is the only American deer ever broken to harness, and he plans to exhibit the animals at the exposition in 1915. Clemens attracts a great deal of attention where ever he goes. His pets are clever, and do many tricks. On the wagon that they haul is a big sign reading: “Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915.” Clemens left Portland on August 9th and is due here within a few days. GREEN FLAGS RETIRED Improved Railroad Facilities Put Them Out of Commission The green flags, one at each side of the rear end of the last passenger coach on a train, have served their use on the Southern Pacific and other Harriman roads, and will no longer be seen on any passenger trains on these lines. The first of August saw the last of the green flags and all of the Southern Pacific passenger trains are now running with lamp markers in place of the flags. Green flags have been used for many years on the rear of trains to designate to trains in the opposite direction and to the engineer of the train displaying the flag markers, that the train was intact. This was necessary in the days when all of the cars in trains were not equipped with automatic air brakes. Sometimes, when the link and pin couplings were in use, a pin would break and a car would be left behind. There was no way for the engineer to tell whether or not he had all of his cars with him unless he could look out of his cab and see the green flag waving from the last coach. All of the cars of the Southern Pacific Company are now equipped with the automatic air brakes, which, if a car should become detached, stops the train auto-ride property will be divided husband and wife as it leaves just and may not to the wife.

"In connection with the proposed congress of authors and journalists we desire to invite and welcome literary workers from all parts of the world to attend the fair; to make them feel at home; to have pleasant headquarters where they may meet and become acquainted, and where we propose to furnish them with all the facilities to aid them in making the attractions of the Pacific coast more familiar to the world." Samuel Butler, manager of the Nevada county publishing company, publishers of the Nevada City Transcript and Grass Valley Tidings, who has had charge of California's large mineral exhibit at the Louisiana purchase exposition at St. Louis in 1904, and at the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland in 1905 in an interview discussed the outlook for a magnificent exhibit of California products at the 1915 exposition, as follows: "California will undoubtedly at the Panama-Pacific international exposition show to a greater degree than at any time in its history, the wonderful nature of its products and resources, and also the unparalleled enterprise and ambition of its people. Probably nothing at that exposition will excel the mineral display that the state will make. The early history of California especially is associated with the mining industry.

There was no way for the engineer to tell whether or not he had all of his cars with him unless he could look out of his cab and see the green flag waving from the last coach. All of the cars of the Southern Pacific Company are now equipped with the automatic air brakes, which, if a car should become detached, stops the train automatically. The lamps that are being used as markers in place of the green flags suffice during the day as well as at night. During the passage of a train through a tunnel, snowsheds, or during foggy weather, they can be easily lighted, but for the major portion of the day time trips they remain unlighted. They can be distinguished by the engineer with ease and have already been found a great improvement over the old flag system. Some few roads in the east have discontinued the use of green flags as markers on some of their suburban lines, but the Southern Pacific Company is the first road to do so over its entire system.

LIBERAL WOMEN LAWS Statutes of California Do Not Deprive Her of Her Rights Editor Gazette.—Favoritism in law is expressed in two ways. First, by positive beneficial enactment; second, by laws refusing to impose a burden upon one person, or class, which it imposes upon another class. The first of these are called privileges. The second are immunities. Therefore, as we have seen, women are favored by immunities such as the immunity from jury service, the immunity from police service, the immunity from being called upon or drafted by law in any form of military or naval services. Besides these immunities there are many privileges which the laws accord to women over men. In the domestic and social relations, a wife may secure a divorce from a husband who is habitually intemperate; a husband may not obtain a divorce from an equally intemperate wife. (Civil Code, Sec. 106). Though a judgment for divorce is denied, the court may provide for the separate maintenance by the husband of the wife and children. No such action is open to the husband against the wife. If a wife institute an action for divorce against her husband she is entitled to attorney's fees, expenses of the suit, and alimony, during the existence of the case, all to be paid by the husband even though the action proves to be utterly without foundation. Again, without seeking a divorce the wife may at any time prosecute an action against the husband for the separate maintenance of herself and the children. Such an action is not open to the husband. Upon securing a divorce the community sary, in the transaction of such business, since the power to dispose of community property must be vested in some one, that it should be vested in the managerial head, the husband. But even upon his right of control, and notwithstanding the fact that this property has been acquired wholly by his own endeavor, (herein, of course, not overlooking the aid which every good wife is to her husband in her management of domestic affairs) he may not give it away, nor part with it, except for value. If he proposes to make any gift, it cannot be done unless the wife assents thereto and joins therein, and upon the husband's death she takes, beyond his power to dispose of it by will, one-half of all of the community property so accumulated during their married life. These are a few of the immunities and privileges which man-made laws accord to women over men. In most other respects, as we have seen, the law puts them upon a plain of exact equality in the right to own, and dispose of, property of all kinds, and in the right to contract, and in the right to engage in business vocations. MUSIC IN CIVILIZATION Power for Good Far Exceeds Its Tendency to Evil Thought That music is a strong factor in the civilization of nations has long been recognized by many authorities. Belle Yeaton Renfrew, conductor of the Bostonia Ladies Orchestra, says: "As music appeals alike to the emotions, different kinds of music must naturally arouse various passions. This was recognized by the ancients, who had an elaborate system of modes. The orgles of Dionysius, the hot lust for battle, the soft entice- for divorce against her husband she is entitled to attorney's fees, expenses of the suit, and alimony, during the existence of the case, all to be paid by the husband even though the action proves to be utterly without foundation. Again, without seeking a divorce the wife may at any time prosecute an action against the husband for the separate maintenance of herself and the children. Such an action is not open to the husband. Upon securing a divorce the community property will be divided between the husband and wife as the court believes just and may be given wholly to the wife. The husband, moreover, may be compelled to make provision for the support of the wife and the children and may be forced to give security for the payment of such sums as the court may order. None of the privileges are open to the husband. Still further dealing with the domestic relations, a homestead may be selected by the wife without the husband's consent from the separate property of the husband. He has no such power over the separate property of the wife. A homestead once selected, whether from the community property or from the separate property of the husband, without his consent can never be abandoned or incumbered without the wife's consent expressed in writing. When it comes to debts, the property of the wife is not liable for the debts of the husband; the property of the husband is liable for the debts of the wife. The community property is liable for the debts of the wife contracted before she married, even though her husband was in total ignorance of them. The earnings of the husband are community property and are liable for the debts of the wife. Upon the loss of the husband by death special provisions are made for the widow and children. These provisions go to continuing in the window and children the homestead,the property exempt from execution,the making of a family allowance for her support, and when an estate is of a value less than $1500, the setting of it aside for the widow and children, exclusive of the rights of creditors. In other respects, and wherever the law thinks it wise so to do, an absolute equality is established, not only between the sexes, but between husband and wife. Thus, the husband has absolutely no control over his wife's property; and the wife is as free as the husband to contract with him or with anybody else, not only as to property, but as to any other Power for Good Far Exceeds Its Tendency to Evil Thought That music is a strong factor in the civilization of nations has long been recognized by many authorities. Belle Yeaton Renfrew, conductor of the Bostonia Ladies Orchestra, says: "As music appeals alike to emotions, different kinds of music must naturally arouse various passions. This was recognized by the ancients, who had an elaborate system of modes. The orgles of Dionysius, the hot lust for battle, the soft enticements of love found expression in Phrygian, Dorian and Lydian modes, with their appropriate instruments. We all have heard music that tended to put us to sleep. Probably most of us have heard music that kindled sudden anger, so that it required considerable self-control not to murder the perpetrator. That appeal to the calmer judgment was found in the placard in the Western barroom, and where patrons were requested not to shoot the pianist, because he was doing the best he could. “There are seven chief virtues — faith, hope, charity, prudence, temperance, chastity and fortitude. Pure music (apart from words accompanied by musical sounds) certainly may sustain faith, encourage hope and help fortitude. It might be even conceived that by superinducing a comfortable frame of mind one would give an extra penny for sweet charity’s sake. But one would get no great lift in prudence from any music, however slow and solemn; and ‘the great thirst’ is quite independent of lofty emotions, while unfortunately chastity is largely a matter of surveillance. “Now there are seven deadly sins — pride, covetousness, lust, anger, envy, gluttony and sloth. The musical performer may be exposed to pride and envy. Jealousy is undoubtedly a great falling among artists of all kinds, perhaps especially among the singers and instrumentalists, but Frau Musica ought not to be held responsible for these faults. Music does not conduce to gluttony. The late T. B. Aldrich left hot anger when dining at a hotel where there was an orchestra to interrupt conversation. It tended to take away rather than stimulate the appetite. And there are some kinds of music that would naturally lead to sloth—the music which Odysseus heard as he went by the land of the lotus eaters. This sensuous music made more swift and exciting causes the blood to flow more eagerly, sets the heart to beating, and undoubtedly kindles..." support, and when an estate is of a value less than $1500, the setting of it aside for the widow and children, exclusive of the rights of creditors. In other respects, and wherever the law thinks it wise so to do, an absolute equality is established, not only between the sexes, but between husband and wife. Thus, the husband has absolutely no control over his wife's property; and the wife is as free as the husband to contract with him or with anybody else, not only as to property, but as to any other matter which is the subject of contract. An unmarried woman may as freely engage in business or trade as may a man and under no other restrictions. Even a married woman may engage in trade entirely apart from her husband's control. She may become a "sole trader" as the law phrases it, and when she does, her earning are not like the husband's earnings, community property, but become her sole and separate property. In all of those great rights of modern life, the right to own, control, and dispose of property, and the right of contract, it will be seen that in this state women, not only stand upon an equality with men, but, if anything, are favored over men by laws designed for their protection. There is but one class of property over which a husband exercises a dominion superior to that of a wife. That class of property is what is known to the law as community property. Over this class of property the husband is given the dominion and control within certain limitations, and this must be so because in our modern civilization, wherever the married state exists, it is usually the husband that is the bread winner; it is usually the husband who transacts what we call business. It is not only proper therefore, but neces- late T. B. Aldrich left hot anger when dining at a hotel where there was an orchestra to interrupt conversation. It tended to take away rather than stimulate the appetite. And there are some kinds of music that would naturally lead to sloth—the music which Odysseus heard as he went by the land of the lotus eaters. This sensuous music made more swift and exciting causes the blood to flow more eagerly, sets the heart to beating, and undoubtedly kindles lust. Most immorality comes from ignorance, and while music, in its exciting, stimulating, sensuous combinations of sounds, as, for instance, in languishing waltz rhythms, fills the heart with voluptuous longings, it could never break down the solid dike of 'Thou shalt not' founded on right principles and true knowledge. "The value of music as a civilizing influence, its power to bring people into harmony, its marvelous capacity for giving men and women pleasure, a million times outweigh its potentiality for arousing evil passions. If it did not have its elements of risk, it would be vastly less valuable. All good things may be perverted and be all the more dangerous because of their very virtues. A man who should swallow a cupful of liquid air would die of a sudden stomach ache, and the person who should give loose reins to even his loftiest passions would become dangerous in any community. "Music undoubtedly sweeps some unbalanced people off their feet," concluded Miss Renfrew, "but its general tendency is for the good of mankind." This seems to be the consensus of opinion in modern times. Just when you are trying to show off a hoodoo is sure to get its work in.
