Cady Stanton rushed into print with a
lengthy howl about women. She said
In all the reviews Of the progress Of the

ments." Great Caesar! Where has Eliza
beth been? Does she never read? We
have seen nothing but accounts Of cher
struggles. her triumphs and her at
tainments. There hasn't been anything

nuisance, and we predict that when she
dies there will be lots Of dry eyes at
her funeral. We can say this here be-

things. Well, suppose he did: he was
writing about something else, and he
said q great deal more than he was
certain Of in that one paragraph. Eliza
beth further says that his classification
is about as bad as that of the Jewish
historian In the Book of Numbers, who
says. 1.-THE Israelites took in the war
against the Midianites 1900 cattle, $4,000
sheep. 10000 jackasses and 10000 women"
Elizabeth probably thinks the Jewish
historian had never heard Of the conven-

some excuse for the Jewish historian; he
lived before women ran things. The
same cannot be said for Benjamin Kidd.
But we cannot conceal a sneaking re-
gard for man who can write book
in these days and only mention women
in one paragraph. He should have
monument erected to him.

The trouble arose from one of the men,

other members heard that she said so
