ANCIENT ROMAN WOMEN.

They Were the Property of Their Hus-
bands and Had No Rights.
In the early stages of Roman history
there is reason to believe that the
Roman wife was completely under the
control of her husband. The Roman
idea of a family made the father des-
pot, with power of life and death over
his children, who could do nothing
without his consent. This was the case
after they had reached considerable
age. Women, according to the opinion
of the early Romans, were always chill
dren. They required protection and
guidance during their whole life, and
could never be freed from despotic con-
troll. Accordingly, when Roman girl
married, she had to choose whether
she would remain under the control of
her father or pass into control. or, as it
was called, into the hands of her hus-
band.
1t is likely that in the early ages of
the city she always passed from the
power of her father into the hands of
her husband and the position she occu-
pied was that of a daughter to her hus-
band. She thus became entirely sub
ject to him, and was at his mercy.
Roman history supplies many instances
of the despotism which husbands exer-
cised over their wives. The slightest
indiscretion was sometimes punished
by death, while men might do what
they liked without let or hindrance.
eff you were to catch your wife, was
the law laid down by Cato the Censor,
Gin an act of infdelity you would kill
her with impunity without a trial; but
if she were to catch you she would not
venture to touch you with her finger,
and, indeed, she has no right
Wives were prohibited from tasting
wine at the risk of the severest penal
ties. The conduct Of Ignatius was
praised, who, surprising his wife in
the act of slipping the forbidden liquor,
! beat her to death. The same sternness
appears in the reasons which induced
some of the Romans to dismiss their
! wives. Suspicious Gallus dismissed
his because she appeared in the streets
without a veil. Antistius Vatus dis
missed his because he saw her speak
ing secretly to a freed woman in pub
! lie. and P. Sempronius Sophus sent his
away because she had ventured to go
! to the public games without informing
him of her movements. -Contenlporar

and-one things which make up modern civ
ilization They want news all the news
but they don't want it concealed in an over

tial. 1t is because THE CHICAGO DAILY

bition to CRAFTY, no " ak to grind" the i'm
partial, independent newspaper may truly be
guide, philosopher and friend " to honest
menofevery shaded political faith; andthis
iswhy THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS has to-
