Her tongue is the invincible weapon, which never dulls with age or rusts with disuse. For some years past, an intelligent association of women has had ridicule heaped upon them. The platform enunciated by these ladies covers the broad, and to our thinking, just positions that mentally and morally they are as much entitled to suffrage and a voice in the government as men are. They claim it is no argument against the equity of their demands that in no land or nation have women had a controlling voice in the government. They say, with truth, because a law is venerable or a custom so old that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, those facts are not an infallible indication they are just or reasonable.
Man rules the world and woman rules man.
So it is said. It is commanded that wives should obey their husbands, but the great apostle was a bachelor it is believed, or his own experience would have taught him that, while his command might be correct in theory, in practice the exact reverse of his admonition was the fact. We believe in the fullest mental and political liberty for women. No nation can prosper where they are degraded. This we believe to be sound republican doctrine.
