THEODORE PARKER
Was another man that was not under
/ stood when he asked for q boon that has
/ blessed the prople ever since-that you
NAV worship God as you wish, or not
worship him at all. And there are men
and women even now in Boston who
have gone to church and publicly prayed
that God would put hook in Theodore
Parker mouth. Because he advocated
freedom in religion he was ostracized
and driven by the Church to a martyrs
grave.
WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON
Has often left the stage with his best coat
dripping with rotten eggs, because the
people could not see that slavery should
! be abolished. Because he foresaw that
( that which was. Because he recognized
| the fact that the time was near at hand
when that great bolt on American liberty
must be wiped out of the country's other
wise fair fame. Because he was simply
u few wears in advance Of the mass OF
mankind, and especially the Government
and Church.
! And now
A WOMAN BY THE NAME OF Woodruff
Has had the audacity to come before an
audience and state that u woman has the
right to own her own body, and to re-
| quire the same degree Of purity of men
that they do of women. Peoples ideas
now are very different from what they
were two years ago. We are beginning
| to think upon these things. The Brook
Ign scandal has helped to open the eyes
of the multitude.
! The Constitution Of the United States
| gives to every man which includes ev-
| cry woman of this country the right to
enjoy life liberty aud the pursuit OF hap
| pines Then why should men be es-
peciully favored thus, while women are
susIuycd and denied the right thus grant
ed them by the trainers of the COnstitu-
/ ton to pursue the paths of happiness in
any way they might desire?
SOME STARTLING STATEMENTS.
Reviewing the pages of history, We
nave if the statements of of the "Atlan-
/ tic Monthly "Harpcr's Monthly. The
/ Galaxy and other standard periodicals
OF the country be true, mot one heating |
man or ~ymoJ,. This Is certainly beau
tiiuI condition of society. The animal |
/ kingdom would not last five years were it |
/ in such = state Some people will reject |
| all investigation on this subject on the /
ground, of modcsty, but the truth Is that !
/ truly modest people do not denouuCc what |
| they do not understand. Have We any ma /
terial among humanity upon which We
/ can build better structure Let Us see /
/ what statistics that have been gathered
no, 10y Victoria Woodruff, but by scicn-
/ cntlhc men, will tell Us. Two hundred
and fifty thousand women in this coun.
/ try are prostitutnS. Their lives average
/ four years These do not get their sup
| port from the yagabond boys about the F.
| street. but 10y men high in office, in
/ church, or other departments Of society .
/ There are two and onc.half millions of
male prostitutes.
Wiyc, of Wheeling, you know AS well
| As | do that the greatest number of men
who supper, these women are dissatisfied
/ Husbands There are two hundred thou
I sand old, WORKOUT blaze souls that con-
tribute Il large portion Of the money that
keeps these prostitutes in gcw guys and
| fuery. And yet the mothers say that
/ they are not Interested in the social
problem. Ersrg Hf,sA gcarS one milton
/ Of our g.yis 0rs sent ont IN Jccp0ls pros
/ hh,',,. And yet mothers are not inter.
estcd in the social problem.
/ one hundred and fifty thousand criH-
ina.s are filing our jails and workhouscs.
. OneI hundred and siXty-fvc thousand
persons are insane or partially SO. Two
hundred thousand are Idiotlc. And yet
you are not Interested in the social prob
lem.
Mothers dare not ask what is the cause
Of all TIN, insanity. Yet seyen-tenths of
it come, from sexual dcbauchery and the
other thrcc-tcnths Is composed of those
whom theirmothers did not wnntto bear.
The world Is Tiled it'll children whose
mothers did not desire them. The
statement IS true and you can not
get away from it. 1t is only the
pure-mindcd who dare discuss this ques-
/ ton, and she who will blush when it is
mentioned will be regarded rs an ignor-
| ant woman 1t Is time that mothers I'M
| derstood these matters. But no. The
remedy is not to be inquired for by
mothers. Their minds are held in bond
age till they become more diseased than
/ their bodies.
BLUsHES.
The idea of asking whether Mrs
I Woodhull will say anything in her lee
| lures TO make one blush2 Blush forsooth.
Reserve your bushes for the communion
with your inner thoughts and consciences
/ Mrs. Woodruff will say nothing but what
i. truth, and healthy truth at that. And
why should people blush at the truth?
THE TRUTH TO CHILDREN.
\ darling little child Jocks up into its
mothers face and says, Mamma, who
made mc?' The mother wishing to stop
the child.s inquiries, replies that the doc
tor brought it in his pocket, or some other
absurd nonsense. Very soon the child
learns better, ana, perhaps i toId Oy the
vugabonds of the street. Then rs the
awful truth is forced upon her that her
mother has told her talsehood, what
barbed and poisoned arrow is that which
enters her breast The child questions
what there was abou, her birth that her
mother was ashamed Of. How much
closer would have been the tie
which binds tie mother and child, had
sh. told her darling that she car
riaI it for long time under her heart,
and suffered almost the agony of Gethse-
name 10 bring 1t INTO this world Our
mother, must be pure minded enough to
talk with their children about these
thing. When wjllthr time come when
they Will make the acquaintance oftheir
.umih,,? The mother Is not the con-
