ignOminy which covered her during the session of
the Legislature, when it shown that she had
been willfuly guilty of disgracefu double dealing
to gain the favor of different members. She is
now engaged, after the Legislature is no more in
trying to make itappear that the married women's
property bill would never have been passed with
out her aid. She attempts to slur the Woman
Suffragists by saying they opposed the passage of
the bill, knowing that she states what is false and
choosing to ignore the fact that three weeks ago
the NEW NORTHWEST published the text Of the
new law and rejOiced over its passage If she felt
called upon to thank the lawmakers, she should
have done it when the bill was passed; but the
/ truth is her letter in last Thursdays Bulletin,
lin behalf Of the women Of Oregon" is an after
! thought-a mere subterfuge to allow her to show
her teeth to those who would not permit her two
faced conduct at Salem to 20 unrebuked That
double dealing is common with her, there is ample
evidence-unless people are charitable enough TO
believe that she should be under Dr. Hawthorne's
charge. 1t would seem, after all the fuss she has
made about her husbands putting her in an asy-
lum, that she would have had enough Of the "pro-
tection' nonsense; but the following, taken from
her sublimeiy impudent (or crazy letter to the
Bulletin Of last Thursday evening, proves other
wise:
BY giving women the ballot there would be two ads 20
the family. and thus, by making their rights Identical the
wife would be her protector She would then De- forced
to that most yonanIy right OF her nature
right 10 be protected.
1t becomes necessary to make a few, extracts
from Mrs Packard's books, which she sells for
living, recounting the brutalities Of some men 70
women in order to enlist svmpathv and effect
sales 1t is proper for her to peddle these books,
though she might drop her double dealing. To
support her assertion that the "most womanIv
right Of woman is to be protected. we quote from
the first paragraph Of the first chapter of volume
second of Modern Persecution" The cbapter i
