deliberative assemblies or courts of jus
tice. Mrs. Barr should join some bright
woman's club and see how admirably
the girls can carry on business.
Mrs. Livermore approaches the .ques
tion of the condition of women from u
different standpoint, and opens the dis
custom with this sweeping drnunciation:
II NTH within few years the world has
been ruled by brute force. Everybody
has been welcome tn whatever he could
win and hold by Drawn ana muscle.
There has been littl" whimpering about
it. and tn. weaker have yieldtsi 10 the
dominion OF the stronger, as We, today,
respect the decision uf the courts The
history of woman through these ages is
painful reading. Her physical weak
ness, and not alone her mental infer
iority, has made her the subject Of man.
Toiling patiently for him, asking little
for herself and everything for him,
chcerfully sharing with him all his pcrils
and hardShips. the unappreclated
mother of his children. she has been
bought and sold, petted and tortured,
according To- the whim of her brutal
owner the victim everywhere of pillaSe,
lust, war and SrrNitudr. And this
statement Includes all races ana peoples
of the earth from the date of their his

the masculine readers breath away. II

Roman custom, or the social HABITS of

These articles. adds the ENQUIRER i'm
conclusion, are worth synopsis because
they Illustrate So plainly the vicious
methods of the editors of our American
periodicals. They engage two people
with noted names to discuss some great
question. selecting one to advocate
tach side. The result is two narrow
minded. badly conceived incompletc
articles, presenting half truths-the
conclusions of prejudice in the lam
by itself and neither seems to correct
or coun.eract the follies of the other
