TO treat hGs new question because outrage ms o s ~
tended everywhere beyond the heads Of families yet s me
in my judgment why bas been extended is SIMPLY
this If certain have been permitted to vote who were n0t
heads OF families because they were exceptions 70 e
general rule and beeause was 70 be presumed ha they
are the beais Of families they ought 10 be and pOba

sents this fundamental clement Of human society il should
therefore be- east by the head Of the family and according 10
reasOB nature and religion the is the bead Of the family
In that Tsotion while every man king. eTey woman ~
