The Evolution of Law AS it Effects
Woman and Her Rights

Mr.. George B. Bondurant addressed
large assembly of birmingham women yes
terday afternoon at the Woman's cluo. Inc
subject of the lecture was 1.-The Evolution
of the Law as it Affects Woman and Her
Rights" Mr. Bondurant clearly explained
the subject in all it's bearings and the en-
tire lecture was we'll appreciated and
greatly enjoyed by the members of the
club The subject is one of vital interest
to men and women alike. The following
is quoted from Mr.. Bondurant's address,
Law is an exacting science and gives us
little ground for imagination; and hence, in
as brief a space as possible, 1 shall try and
give you the history of the old common law
and the laws of the present day that re-
late to and directly affect woman, as this
is necessary to thoroughly understand this
subject, tracing the changes of the law,
showing its influence and growth and stat
ing the causes that brought about these
results. In this age, which has been so
aptly termed the woman's century, should
they know the law that protects them
and under whose shelter they live?
AS we glance back fifty or a hundred
years we find woman chained by the laws
within a small and narrow space. But law
is a struggle to grasp the fundamental
principles laid down by the Creator. Mems
BRAIN while it is a special creation, is an
evolutionary organ and is daily developing
into a higher and more spiritual being, as
in it's struggles it finally grasps the prin-
cipes laid down by the Creator. Man be-
comes more and more enlightened, his eyes
penetrate the veil of darkness and woman
is accorded her legal standing. The law of
Justice is as fundamental and immutabe
as the laws of gravitation, and since they
they have been created, even the Creator
himself is incapable of changing them Let
us see the changes that two centuries, even
fftv short years, have made in the welfare
of woman What brief space in the his
tory of mankind, but during this brief peri
cd the scales have fallen from the eyes of
erring man, and he now sees woman, his
superior, placed in a position of trust, hon.
or and respect, living under the same law,
guided by the same principles, stirred to ac-
ton by the same principles and sharing
equal rights
He no longer maintains the doctrine that
men have a right to command and it is

dissenting vote, despite the fact that Bent
ly was a defaulter to the extent of several
thousand dollars, and had, in the meantime
pleaded guilty to the charge, and had been
sentenced to penal servitude. The cases
above cited affect the vested proprietary
rights of married women; but the cases
following relate only to the wifes future
expectations; to rights uncertain and pros
pective, thus:
In the case decided last May by the su-
preme court of North Dakota widower,
aged 4e years, on the eve of his second
marriage to young woman of %, to whom
he had been for some time engaged, secret
ly transferred his homestead to his son
by former marriage. The deed, instead of
being actually delivered to his son, was
handed over to a third person to be held,
unrecorded, until after the fathers death
and then delivered absolutely to the son.
There was mo consideration whatever for
the deed; it was a mere bounty from father
to son. The real object and purpose being to
cheat and defraud the intended wife out
of her prospective right of homestead. Two
months after the making of 1.-THE secret
transfer the marriage was solemniZed. The
wife had no knowledge of the existence of
the deed until shortly after the death of
her husband when his children by the for
mer marriage asserted their claim to the
land. to the utter exclusion of her home
stead right. She then sued the heirs to
SET dSiue stne second transfer ana was en-
tirely successful. The opinion, a very able
one, was written by Chief Justice Corliss
in the course of which he said this, THE
very fact that the homestead right is Ass
secure than the dover at common law is,
of itself, strong reason why the courts
should be even more watchful to protect 1t
from destruction by the secret devices of
one who is bound in morals to divulge to his
betrothed any transaction which will affect
her rights as his wife"
Illustrations might be multiplied in
definitely, but enough has been shown to
indicate fully the evolutions of the law of
reality and the protection given to women.
Let us pass on, and before closing, briefly
call attention to some other Alabama laws.
A woman can now bring an action for
damage or libel in her own name, and no
longer is she bound down by the viii of
whimsical and selfish husband. In a civil
case a woman no longer can be compelled
to testify in open court. She and preacners
are the excepted and chosen classes that
this statute protects. She can preside as
judge, since women are eligible to the office
of -ssister IN chancery and notary public.

ner the evils of the law that existed less
than a century ago. in order that there
might be a more striking contrast with the
laws of the present time. Let us again
remember that law is a progressive and
evolutionary science Gf may use that word
in this connection): and the results that
affected the changes which we shall here
after mention. were due to mems minds
becoming more and more resonant to the d.
vine will. In law, as in all other contro-
versies, there is right and a wrong side !;
a legal decision may be erroneous and thus
continue for years. but "error only writhes
in pain" until SOME minds grasp the right,
overthrows the wrong and establishes a
principle that is immutable. TEss under
the old law we see the grave injustices that
could be perpetrated. a woman may have
made the mistake of her life by her choice,
but there was no means of rectifying the
wrong. Some men are brutes in whose eyes
the beauty of woman too soon fade away
To them were offered the shelter of the
law to rob her of her lands and her posses
sions, of her children and of her happiness.
Yet while just laws are the greatest means
prevail the law of conscience and morality.
If we had to look to written laws alone. al
though strict and just, society would be
hell upon earth.
To her lasting honor and credit, South
Carolina was the first American common
wealth to reorganize the business equality
of husband and wife and this state had
two reasons for so doing-to promote trade
and to protect wives. Pennsylvania soon
followed, until now the whole Union stands
united for her interest. A woman now
owns and controls her own property, wheth-
err married or single, and her husband is
powerless to keep her from 1t. She can
will 1t to whom she chooses. So strict is
the law in her behalf that when a hus-
band sells or incumbers his property, his
wife Is required to be examined alone and
apart from her husband, and must state
that she signs the papers free from the
threats of her husband. 1t has given
her a homestead amounting to 100 acres of
land, amounting in value to $1,000. A wom-
an may own thousands of acres and as
much money, a cent of which cannot be
touched If she stands security for her hus-
band. 1t has relieved her from the dis

The dinner was given on Monday evening,

birmingham where twenty guests could be
seated at circular table.
1t was pink dinner, the satin cloth hav-

satin. The centre piece was an elaborate
floral double heart of pink carnations. There
were twenty guests and the occasion was
fraught with great briliancy. -

THE Roman Catholic church has
more profoundly affected human affairs,
doubtless, than any other church which
has borne the Christian name. Men do
not admit its claims, or approve it's rec
ords, or agree with its system of doc
trine and ecclesiastical control; but they
cannot withhold a certain generation for
ity of It's dominion, and the persistency
with which it lives through assaults. No
other church was ever able to assemble
so large and imposing a body Of prelates
as met in the Vatican council: no other
church compares with 1t In reach of in
fluence over the masses of mankind; no
other church could endure the losses It
has suffered and have name to live. Its
history challenges admiration from the
mere fact that 1t crosses so many CEN
turtles, goes so far back toward the dim
and distant days when He who was
given to the world as its king gave His
name to the world as the Savior CT

however earnestly they may assail it,
whatever combination may be made for
its overthrow, all must agree THAI 1t
