to include children and women. Our bills
of rights and Constitutions when they
guarantee equality and liberty to AL
men" are understood to mean that when
they say "men'' they do not mean women.
Our grave and reverend seigniors" who
make the unwritten law by writing it in
countless pages Of confused and conflict
ing reports tell us that the husband is
entitled to the personal services Of the
wife and that he may hire her out and re-
cover the wages in his own right. He
may commit all sorts OF trespasses upon
her property and her person with impunl-
ty. If she has a nominal remedy it is
generally worse than the wrong. He may
assault her and insult her. But in its
wisdom and goodness the law puts a limit
upon his aggression. Some highly res
pectable and naw-learned barbarian de-
cided from the bench that the husband
may whip her at his pleasure but must
not use a weapon larger than the thumb.
This made the law which has since clat-
tered down the ages. Now there are
thumbs and thumbs. We are not in
formed whether he meant the largest or
the smallest thumb. Perhaps he meant
his own judicial thumb, but no descrip-
ton of its dimensions was transmitted
to his conservative and concurring sue
cessors.
So, that, in the centuries, since this
enduring ruling, the chances of the wo-
men have depended upon the sizes OF the
thumbs of the judges or jurors wno tried
the case. This principle is supported by
an acknowledged analogy of the Chan
Gerry Courts, where, as the lawyer. say,
the decision frequently depends upon the
length of the Chancellor's foot. Nothing
but tender regard for woman's rights
could have permitted this question to be
so decided. The decision, however, was
not embarrassing to the husband nor did
it seriously impair his inalienable rights.
1t left him in command of horsewhips
and rawhides and knots and knouts and
starps. Thus we see how it was that no
loud complaint was made by the voters
against this judicial ruling. There is
no record showing that husbands in an
angry protest joined together, formed a
political party and appealed to the coun-
try. They quietly submitted to this linn
itation upon their prerogatives. Thus
was indicated the humanity and the
wisdom of the law.
But, in seriousness, it may be said that
civics should be taught in the schools.
The men and women of to-day and of the
future, must appreciate the blessings of
civil equality. They should for their own
protection know something of the princi-
Piles and methods of their government.
This Republic, the last and best attempt
that man has made for his own advance
ment and happiness, like all those that
have gone before it, must totter to its
fall unless we can have an intelligent
and independent citizenship strong enough

A MONSOON FOR INDIA.

Simla, India, May 1S.-An official ten
tatiye forecast says that he conditions
are favorable for the expected monsoon,
except perhaps in upper India. The
snow fall in Chitral and northeastern
Afghan stan is locally somewhat in ex-
cess of the usual quantity, but the fall
elsewhere is normal. The meteorological
conditions in the South India seas are
doubtful but probably more favorable
than they were a year ago and therefore
a monsoon with normal rains is expected
for the whole country except in upper
India, where the rainfall may be fayora-
BILE if the monsoon is strong.

CAN BE IMPRISONED FOR TAXES.
The Attorney General Thinks The Law
Is Constitutional.

The Attorney General Thinks The Law
Is Constitutional.
Can a man be imprisoned in North
Carolina for debt? Not except for
fraud" says the constitution.
Is a tax due the State and unpaid q
debt in the constitutional sense of the
word?
If it is, then the last Legislature passed
an unconstitutional law when it put sec
lions So and So in the Revenue Act.
These sections are as follows:
'Sec. 3D. That it shall be and 1t is
hereby the duty of the sheriff of each
county in the State to make diligent in
quiry and report to the judge at each
term of the criminal court held in the
county following the time when the
license tax and taxes provided for in
schedules A, B and G of this act should
have been paid as to whether or not
such license taxes and other taxes have
been paid by all persons or corporations
liable for the same, and to make out
list of all delinquents. And it shall be
made the duty of the judge to submit
the list of the delinquents to the soil
citor to the end that such delinquents
may be prosecuted for such defalcation
in the manner provided in the next sec
ton of this act.
'Sec. 53. That such persons or corpora
tons who are liable to pay the license
tax or taxes provided for in schedules
A, 3 and G. of this act and the machln-
cry act, and shall fail to pay the same
as provided by law shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and punished by fine
not exceeding five hundred dollars or
imprisoned not exceeding six months,
and the sheriff shall be allowed by the
Judge such compensation for making
such report as he may deem just and
proper, to be paid by the county"
Auditor Aver and Treasurer Worth
say that these sections apply TO every
thing under schedules A, b and @ of the
Revenue Act and the Machinery Act,
so that the owner of property the tax
on which has not been paid, may be jail
ed for the debt.
In this view they are supported by the
Acknowledgement who yesterday render
ed the following opinion: ut is my
opinion that sections 30 and 90 of the
Revenue Act apply to all taxes alike.
At first thought the provisions unconsti-
tutional as being in contravention to the
provisions of the constitution which pro-
vides that there shall be no imprisonment
in this State for debt, but after cOnsid-
Grafton / have concluded that they are
valid"
This means that non-payment of taxes
opens the Jail doors wide-and for this
we have the recent fusion Legislature to
thank.
There are others, however, who do not
think the Imprisonment part of the pen
atty will stand the test of the courts
that tax is a debt like any other debt,
voluntarily assumed when a man becomes
a citizen of the State.
