BE JUST AND FEAR NOT.

Elsewhere We publish extracts from
exchanges which in themselves dis
prove the oft-asserted fallacy that wom-
en- are protected by men. And yet we
know exactly what many men will say
in response to the testimony of their
own witnesses. They will assume a
demeanor Of self-conscious innocence
and say, "The NEW NORTHWEST is un-
just. All men are not disposed to
wrong women, aud why should any but
the guilty be condemned ?D To this we
reply that 'rNone but the guilty are ac-
cused."
Suppose some man commits murder.
Should he go scot free because all men
are not murderers ? Or would men be
justified in refusing to recognize all
mems right to self-protection because
some men are not able TO protect them
selves2 Would they be justified in re-
fusing 10 make a general law to restrain
the crime of murder because only here
and there are men who kill their fell
lows?
We know the majority of men are so
much better than the laws that they
are really above law, bot we also know
that when they are not above law there
is no protection for women against their
Vaccinations unless the dependent crea-
lures, made so by men, are strong
enough, in spite Of the impecuniosity
resulting from their political subiuga-
tion, to protect themselves. Had wom-
an the purse and consequent power that
rightfully belongs to every laborer in
the worlds vineyard, but is withheld
from woman 10y men who monopolize
all the easy work and munifcent pay,
it would be but little while until there
would not be prostitute Of either sex
who would remain unpunished. Only
be just, men and brethren, and women
will be just to you in return. Fear not

WIFE-BEATIKG.

In the 'Home News column will be
found a statement Of case OF wife-beat-
ing, concerning which we have heard
many comments, such as this: "Wives
are never ready 10 complain against
their husbands" "Tmpossible to bring
men to justice where women are con-
cerned." "Women will do anything to
screen men," ETC., ETC., all tending to
show that women prefer martyrdom
rather than liberty, and bruised bones
and broken heads rather than kindly
treatment.
Now, the truth is that women are
averse to having their husbands pun
ished for assaults upon themselves, be-
cause the fine is a direct robbery from
the larder or clothes-line Of the wife
beater's poorly-provided home. Let a
"much-abused wife" consent to thus
appear against her husband, as sug-
gested by a contemporary, and il would
doubtless be "little rough on him."
but the trouble is, the consequences of
the fine would rest directly upon her.
The unbridled power given to the purse
holding half Of the household over the
servant without wages, who bears the
children for mans sole qualification,
and tolls for him increasingly for the
same reason, a power that belongs Of
right TO nobody, is worse than a rod Of
iron over the shoulders Of the beaten
wife, even when the husband does not
dare to strike her. We have known
several cases OF wife whipping where
the wife has stified her screams under
the cruel blows of her protector and
head, lest she should rouse the authori-
ties and get her husband fined, and
thereby be compelled to submit to rob
berry, as well as corporal punishment.
We sometimes think a woman deserves
a whipping who will take Il from any
body; but children hold a mother by her
heart strings, and women often cleave
to worthless and even abusive husbands
because they know the poor "sover-
eigns" have no other friend but them
selves.
Let the obnoxious fine for such Of
fenses be done away. 1t is not the mu-
nicipality that is injured by the assault,
but the wife; and if a fine be imposed,
let it not 60 from the woman's pocket
to swell the city's Golfers and keep some
dapper clerk in lavender kids, but let il
revert directly to the wronged woman,
and then we shall speedily cure beaten
wife Of her present dislike to giving
testimony.

The Protected Sex.

The Sunday Welcome, a mans rights
organ, which occasionally wakes elo-
quent over the "clinging vine" and
'sturdy OAK" delusion, furnishes the
following examples of the exceeding
kindness and protecting regard of GER
tain individuals Of the law-making sex,
as exercised for the benefit Of the keep
ers of home:"
On Wednesday last a young lady got
on the train at Gervais, destined for
Portland. She bad not been long seated
before a man took possession of a seat
adjoining her, aud Immediately began
conversation with her He stated that
he was an immigrant, and under that
preteXt made Inquiries about many
places on the route. During the con-
versatiOn he learned the young lady's
name, where she was going to, and
asked her what hotel she intended TO
stop at whilst in Portland. He stated
that he understood the 81. Charles was
the best, and recommended that she
stop there, which she Indirectly inti-
mated that she would do. The cOnver-
satiOn was conducted loud enough so
that several who were close by over
heard the most Of it. As the train left
Oregon City, the Immigrant rose
from his seat and strOlled into the
smoking car. A gentleman who over
heard his many inquiries, turned round
to have a look at the stranger, when,
Judge of his astOuishmeut, he beheld a
prominent business man of Salem, an
Old resident and the father of a family.
He at once apprised the young lady of
the mans position, so that she might
regulate her actions accordingly. She
said that she had half mistrusted him,
and requested that the conductor be
asked 70 keep the man from annoying
her further, which was done. Upon
reaching this city, she was escorted to
the American Exchange coach, and the
Salemite seemed half inclined TO follow
her, but evidently knowing that he was
watched, he turned back aud took a
coach for another hotel. The intentions
OF this man were no doubt Of the most
infamous character, and deserve the Sc
verest censure. Were it not for charity
to his family, we would give his name
publicity, that he might be held in the
scorn he deserves. Young ladies whom
circumstances compel to travel alone
cannot be too careful Of how they re-
ceive approaches from strangers.

in company with a young lady from
Albany who has but little regard for
herself or the company she keeps. Will

stunned by printers asau unfit associate.
He leaves an estimable wife and child
IN this city to provide for themselves
whilst he squanders whatever he can
make on prostitutes. He at one time
promised TO be a useful and exemplary
young man, but that was a long time
ago. His wife has done well to get rid
of him, and it is to be hoped that she
will find no difficulty in sustaining her

unromantic words, "All aboard for the

conclusion that the "Elder'' sails to-

LETTER PROM LEBANON

To THE EDITOR or THE NEW NORTHWEST
That women should have equal rights
with men is with me no longer a ques-
tion; but while it remains a question
with a majority of those who constitute
the powers that be, suppose that the
tower on which our light stands will
have to be built up by free discussion,
until our light will so shine that all can
see.
My first argument is that all women
who are direct taxpayers have a consti-
tutional right to be lawmakers. How
many American women there are who
labor harder than men to accumulate
the funds which not only pay the taxes
but defray the expenses Of living; and
how much difficult struggling would be
prevented had women a controlling in
fiuence in the financial business of the
family equal with men. As rule, ed
ucated business women are better
financiers than men. The next and
greatest argument of all is the fact that
" tAtAN Jul AAANAAANA1 arc AAOMf AuAEAAEEku-
ally, the next generation will be, for the
ante-natal influence does more to fix
the individual character for veal or woe
than can ever be done by subsequent
education. Although this fact is often
denied, is il not as well established by
scientific principle and observation as is
the law Of gravitation With this fact
before us, how can we afford to allow
the mothers Of our land to he any longer
uninterested in the affairs Of civil gov
ernment, when its preservation and
proper administration in the future de-
pends so much on the interest taken by
our women in this subject at the pres
ent time? What is conceded that we
have the best government on the earth? l
ask how long it will continue with its
present mal-administratiOn. Whathope
have we left when mOnied corporations
and lewd women rule the Congress of
the United States? Are we any longer
a free and independent people? I know
not how to solve the great problem Of
our national preservation, but by an
appeal to the virtuous mothers, wives,
and daughters Of our land to save, or we
perish.
Now, on the temperance question, if
women were voters, would not this
great evil soon be brought under proper
control? Were women voters, the i'm
portation and distillation Of intOxicat-
ing drinks would certainly be prohibited
by positive law; and if there were no
other consideration, is not this sufficient
reason why women should vote? Then,
gentlemen, come to the front. Election
is at hand; let US be consistent. We
have already acknowledged that women
may with propriety vote in church
matters, temperance, grange and lit
erary societies, school meetings, etc.
Why not own up, straight through, and
send men to the next legislature who
will make Oregon free State? Shame
on the mau who has good wife and
doesn't want her to vote Take eour-
age, everybody; get ready for the crisis.
IL Is near at hand.

DOCTORS VERSUS COOKS.

Several Of our exchanges are demand
ing an act by the legislature forbidding
any person to practice the healing art
without a diploma. II men with diplo-
mas never lost patients, and men with
out them never saved any, there might
be more show Of logic in these wise as
sumptiOns. While it is true that
vast and varied fund OF information
is necessary to successfully practice
the healing art, it is equally true
that some persons are born with more
intuitive medical knowledge, and con-
sequent life-saving ability, than others
with dozen diplomas can acquire
in a lifetime. Let such be educated
for the specialties Of their profess
sion, and let the standard be high: but
public sentiment should be free to assert
itself on all occasions, whether in the
employment Of a boOtblack, a physi-
clan, or a legislator There is only one
occupation for which everybody who
practices without a diploma should be
imprisoned or heavily fined, and that is
cooking and housekeeping. il the sci
ence Of cookery were thoroughly under
stood, there would be far less need Of
the doctors. And as everybody must
eat, while comparatively few must en-
ploy physicians, it is far better that bad
cooks be ruled out than ignorant physi-
clans.
