In an unguarded moment—rather in two unguarded moments—he essayed to eddress two organizations of women— the Native Daughters of the Golden West and the Association of Pioneer Women, and therein lies his woe. Who shall say what dire fate would befall the senior Senator should the bellix- erents meet shield to shield, with the unhappy statesman between them? But away with gloomy forebodings! Perhaps the Senator will have hied him to Washington ere the battle is on. But even there he wouldn’t be safe, because in Washington lies the cause he war. the innocence of his heart and his esome desire to help the women to California all the trouble lies—the tion, recrimination, tears and ne uitimatum, “so—there.” all came about so innocently.

Surely all Californians who are fair-minded and broad-souled feel, with Helen Hunt Jackson, Charles Lummis and every other student of Western history, that Junipero Serra should—and must—be one of the two. However, in this matter tis not poor old Junipero, who hated pomp and pr who is to be pitied; ’tis Senator Perkins. And our sympathies are with him!
