A PROTECTOR" GETS AN AIRING

We are sometimes accused very un-
justly of drawing the protector" case
too strongly. While we are thankful
to be able to express the belief that the
men, who would scorn to exercise such
unwarrantable jurisdiction over their
wives as does the one to whom refer
ence is made in the subjoined note, out
number vastly the bigoted lords whom
he so well represents, we yet know that
there are all too many who regard the
accumulated earnings of a woman's
life-t time Of toll and privation, as we'll as
the woman herself, as the exclusive
property of her lord. Whatever any
one may think of the propriety of suf-
fering such indignities in silence, all
must acknowledge that the provocation
to cry out under such injustice is great.
We quote, suppressing name and local
ity, the following, merely begging our
good brethren and sisters not to each
select person in their own neighbor-
hood and mentally exclaim, "Thou art
the man." But here is the extract:
DEAR Mrs. DUNIwAY:-My protector says
I must stop all papers as soon as the subscrip-
tions expire, as he cannot afford to pay for
reading matter. I have no time or health to
earn money, having worn myself out in the
service of himself and his children Cfor Of
course have no right to them, so see no way
| but TO submit, and Of course ought to-do Sc
without murmur. am afraid am not Sc
patient as 1 ought to be, especially as he
owns $40 acres of land, One-half of it in my
name. If had health and strength left from
life's contest sufficient to earn the money my,
Self, should not submit, but belonging to the
great army of pauper wives, must take what
is grudgingly given me, and continue in un
paid service to the end of the chapter. Pleas,
send your bill. Goodbye, 50

ilNo CURL NEED APPLY"
An exchange saws:


A school-teacher is wanted at snohomish
City, and the directors OF the district are pre-
pared to receive and pass upon propositions.
No distinctions as to sex or locality will be
made for or against applicants.
1t is certainly7quite refreshing to hear
of a community where "no distinctions
as to sex" are made for or against appli-
cants for teachers honors and emolu-
ments. There is notable difference be-
tween the enlightened judgment dis
played by the directors above cited, and
those who preside over certain districts
in other localities, as shown by the fol-
lowing:
A gentleman who resides is Washing
ton county, and who vouched for the
fact, told US that early in the summer an
accomplished and amiable young lady of
Forest Grove had made application for
a school in one of the "rUral deestricts"
of that county, enclosing the usual cer-
tificate from the Superintendent of Com
mon Schools, relative to competency
and good moral character. In due time
came the answer-the chirography cor
responding with the orthography-both
giving fitting expression to the old-fogy-
ish sentiment, and the ludicrous as
sumption of superiority. Something
in this wise ran the aforesaid answer:
mo gurl need apply for this skule.
We don't want nobody but a male man
to teach fur US in these parts"
Nothing could be more apparent than
that woman never had anything to dc
with the education of this lordly speci-
men of the genus homo. Here was not
even the usual stipulation of reduced
wages for "female teacher" "because
we 'uns can't afford to hire man, you
see," but a downright clincher thai
was doubtless intended to crush the pre-.
sumptuous aspirations of the little
school-ma'am for all time, "Nogurl neeG
apply for this skuIe."
We are not informed as to whether
some "male man" seized the golden op.
portunity that his sex gave him, anC
became "brisk wielder of the birch anC
rule" in this enlightened (?) neignbor
hood; it is pleasure, however, to reflec
that no one could possibly become pos
sessed of a teachers certificate, who's,
education was not sufficiently liberal t,
enable him to instill into the minds o
the rising generation ideas that will
inevitably render them vast improve
ment on the iold stock"
Everything that is worth while come
of slow and steady growth; so we wal
with what patience may for the de
velopment of principles of justice ant
equity, which "know no distinction a
to SEX" Just at this juncture come
the consoling thought that even old 70
gies-though like evil weeds, proverb
tally tenacious of life-must sooner o
later go down before the sickle of time
and be lost in the "gaping gulf of darl
oblivion" sputtering as the water
rclose over their remorseless, uurefund
ing tomb, mo gurl need apply"

good fellow had said SO many disparRg--
ing things of woman speakers, and es-
pecially of Woman Suffragists, that he
couldn't conquer his prejudices all at
once. In another year he'll be one of
our strongest allies.
Shortly before lecture time somebody
purloined the lamps from the court
house, and the two feeble lights that a
gentleman found for US only made the
darkness visible. Only a small audi
ence, as compared to former occasions,
ventured out, and those who came felt
that their lives were in jeopardy.
Not to be daunted by such trifle as
missing lamps aud occasional empty
benches on dark night, we invited the
assembly forward and began the lecture
When we were about half through, n
posse of drunken fellows came sbuf-
fling up the stairs, and stopped in the
gloom at the landing.
"Come forward, won't you, gentle
men ?" we asked kindly. "Our lights
are bad tonight, but there are cheerful
seats on our right. We want to see you
all comfortable"
Three or four of them came forward
and took the seats, but the others lin
gered. We resumed the discourse, and
then, several voters and Lawmakers
came staggering forward, and one OF
them said,
ga message for you, ma am" laying
upon the table a buff envelope, and
stepping back little.
"a message? Thanks. Be seated,
won't you ?"
But they all went back to the stairs
and skunk out of sight, but not out o.
hearing.
We failed to read the message at first
for the reason that the hand that wrote
it was unsteady with drink, and his
words were as badly tangled as hi.

"Let US have patience with the poo
victims of drunkenness, friends" we
said, ''for the laws of the land foste
and protect the business. Let us rather
blame the government, that drinking
is generally SO far under its control as t.
be considered respectable"
} We regret that we cannot represen
upon paper the yells that followed below
stairs. Across the town the bacchaual
hurried, screaming like so many Conan
J ches, and we finished the lecture withou
further disturbance. The good citizens

ave are living-truly living
In a grand and awful time"


Our lives have fallen into period in
the history of America too important to
be neglected. Let us make such rec
ords, write such pages of history, make
such displays of wisdom, industry and
art as will be perpetuated for genera
tions yet unborn; as will be an honor to
the women of the present age. True,
this is to be mans celebration of Amer
ican independence, and cannot be fully
and freely enjoyed by women, because
they are not yet free but we can share
in The exhibitions which our minds
have invented and our hands wrought
out, and these'wilI be stepping-stones to
higher and nobler positions of honor
and trust.
We believe that the most effectual
measures to be adopted to gain these
positions are to we'll improve opportu-
mites already within our grasp, and for
this men will render due reward and
praise. We believe truly that no class
of persons will be more ashamed of the
record that will date one hundred years
of liberty and freedom for men, while
women are deprived of it, than a very
large class of the very best men in the
land. Many, very many noble sons Of
America will blush at the scene. 1t will
be dark coloring to the picture to see
| that only a single decade has passed
since all the men were free, but to cele-
brate a centennial occasion of American
independence and freedom with one-nali
of her citizeus deprived of this freedom
will be a much darker one. And here
permit me to say that such is my conf
dence in the justice and fidelity of men
that I believe that could proper meas
ures be brought about, they with sim
gle dash would blot out this coloring
from the picture before July 4th, 1876.
Fellow-laborers in the cause of human
rights, now is the time for work. Let

industry and perseverance press into the
"outer courts" and wait and watch, that

WOMAN AND THE CENTENNIAL.

While the work of the great Centen-
NAL exhibition and celebration is being
pushed forward with the rapidity and
earnestness that is due this movement,
we are glad to know that woman is
called upon to act in so large a space as
she is. An avenue is opened, and let as
rally to the work assigned US with an
earnestness that may rightfully be ex-
pected of that class of women especially
that is striving to be mans acknowl-
edged equal in all the departments o.
life.
