A lengthy column critiques gender double standards and the fallen woman, arguing for a universal morality and charity toward women who erred. It contrasts male and female accountability, cites social ostracism, and notes a shift in public attitudes aided by education and reform.
An essayic column recalls California missions and a tripogue by Nye with quirky vignettes. It notes Santa Barbara missions, monks in a monastery, tourists and dogs, and a tale of Daniel Walton trapped in a tree knothole during a Yosemite visit, ending with the legend of the knothole near the park entrance.
A long inscribed meditation traces how mob justice and self help arose in Spain, Morocco, England, Germany, and the United States. It links medieval cohorts, lynch law, and vigilante groups to failures of formal courts, noting historic acts by the Santa Hermandad and other radical movements. The piece blends metaphor with historical anecdotes, warning of lawful systems yielding to crowd-driven justice.
