in their power to render the Fair a success
and succeeded very well considering that
there were some unfortunate circumstan-

contend, not the least of which was the
unfortunate duality of interest, recogniza-

About the Fair as a whole we will only
say it was not what the farmers of Addi-

a little more attention to the subject, and
a little more personal effort.

Woman's Wrongs.

Mr.. EDITOR Pending the final decision
of the Woman Suffrage question, and as
an analogous subject, let us discuss GER
tain wrongs to which our sex have to
submit, for which the Legislature is re-
sponsible and which our lawmakers
might be inclined to remedy if their at
tention were called to the matter.
1t is said all law is founded on JUS
tice can we call law just that deprives
woman her lawful earnings? She often
does quite as much and sometimes more
than her husband toward the accumula-
ton of property If he dies she has lit
tie she can call her own of her hard earn
ings. She may have the use of one third
of what she has earned during her life
time, but can make no disposition of it..
If what the law allows her is sufficient to
support her, well and good, but if not
(altho infrmities may be upon herr she
must depend on friends or look about her
for something to do. Let me ask is there
justice in such law?
Again is it just and right that articles
carried into family by woman should
at the death of her husband be appraised
and reckoned in the little allowed her by
law
Mentioning the injustice of the thing
once to Judge, he said, There is no
reason of complaint, they have been used
in the family over twenty years. ltwould
have been the same if it had been only
six months, it is the law, | cannot help it,
although it may seem hard" | realize
the difficulty of making laws to suit every
case, but | doubt not that those whose
business it is to revise our laws will see
to it and the wrongs complained of here
will be righted, that henceforth our stat
ute books shall not contain laws so man
iiestly unjust to woman. SIGN.
