woman's Rights i'm Oregon.

The question whether women should b.
admitted to practice law in Oregon wa
recently decided in the negative by The
Supreme Court Of that State. Similar
decisions have, within o few years,
been rendered in several other States.
The general rule is to exclude
women from the legal profession simply be
cause they are women, without any refer
ence to their qualifications. The Supreme
Court OF Illinois, some years ago, re-
fused to grant the application of Mrs.
Myra Bradwell, so constituting the law OF
that State as TO exclude women from the
bar. Mrs. Bradwell carried the case to
the Supreme Court of the United States,
which ruled that the power OF a State to
prescribe the qualifications for admission
to the bar of its own courts is unaffected
by the Fourteenth Amendment, and that
the Supreme Court could not inquire into
the reasonableness or propriety of the
action.
