Second The husband should nave no more direct power of direct dispo sition over the property of the wife than the wife has over the property of the- husband. "Third A married woman's right to make contracts and to bring and defend suits- should be as full as those of an unmarried woman. - . 1 . . Make Hnsbaada Work Is Plan. "Fourth With regard to support. society's most important work is to provide homes in which children may be physically and mentally fitted to carry the world forward. Parole the non-supporting husband In charge of a probation officer.- Let the judge fix the sum he shall pay. and make him bring It into court each week. The plan is a working success in Buffalo, where it has been In operation -for years. Don't send the husband to jail, where he is unable to contribute any thing to the support of his family. There is just one case in which a wife Bhould be charged with her husband's support when he be infirm and unable to work. "Fifth Husband and 1 wife should have precisely equal rights In the cus tody of their children, to the services and earnings of their children and to the management of their children's Dronertv.

GRAFT SLOW OF GROWTH Misconstruction Placed Upon "Let- ter of Marque" Declared to Have .Created Sentiment Favor able to Dishonesty. . SAN FRANCISCO, July 4. Under the title "The First Cry of Graft" Abraham Ruef discusses ioday in a copyrighted article In the San Francisco Bulletin the effect of the famous "letter of marque," written to him by Eugene Schmitz shortly after Schmitz' induc tion into office as Mayor. "Notwithstanding the incredulity with which this statement may be re ceived by those who have been taught to believe otherwise," writes Ruef, "during the first term of Mayor Schmitz there was no sale, so far as I know, of licenses, of permits, of pro tection, nor did any person ever pay for a job." "Mayor Schmitz," Ruef says, "wrote a number of formal letters, some of courtesy, some of appreciation, shortly after he was elected." These were given to the newspapers and published. "Letter of Marque" Deacribed. "Not long afterward a weekly sheet hostile to labor seized upon the letter addressed to me," writes Ruef, "taking It up alone and described it as a letter of marque,- a notice to the world that Schmitz was in business and I was his broker. "Nothing was further from its ex pression. The .one benefit it was in tended to confer on me was to solidify the backing of the political elements behind me as a recognized leader. "So wide was the publicity given to this letter that before long It attracted to San Francisco many men wanting concessions to graft on the public. They were astonished to find that we had not even the power, omitting all question of desire, to do the things credited to us. Graft Regarded aa IVatnral. "Those publications had a far worse effect. Public officials began to be lieve that where there was so much smoke there must be some fire. They mlcrht as well 'get in.' They began secretly to grant favors for coin. Those who paid were usually afraid to make It known because tney, too, aoaoroeq the idea that the administration con nived at it. "!' ' "To the sentiment thus created, I lay in great measure the ease and facility, the 'naturalness' of the later approach es of the corporation representatives, and the easy yielding of the Schmitz Board of Supervisors and myself to money persuasion and exaction. They had been educated to look upon it as the ordinary thing." FUN REIGNS AT. TACOMA Streets Are Packed by Revelers at Montemara Iesto. TACOMA, July 4. (Special.)
