many men are compelled to endure,
and especially over the poor cooking.
When by industry and frugality a man
is able to secure a house, and provide
the food, he is previously wronged by
the woman who cannot properly admin
lister the home affairs and transmute
the raw materials into healthful, pal
atable dishes; and this is equally true
in regard to the woman who is igno-
rant of or indifferent to the principles
of economy and thrift.
In this day of reaction against the
narrow and isolated life of the past.
it is possible that many women neglect
home duties for the teas, the matinees,
the receptions, the clubs, the conven-
tions, the endless recreations and ac-
tivities which SO suddenly have opened
out before them; and that men do not
always find the women of their fami-
lies waiting to greet them with the
regulation smile when they return from
the cares of the day and the distrac-
tons of the night. One of the terrible
tragedies of life is when the father dis
covers that the woman whom he Sc

is utterly untitled for this great re-
sponsibility. 1t must be heart break

came convinced that women always
would be helpless to effect any perma-
nent temperance reform without the
ballot, and laid aside active work in
that line in order to aid in securing
their acknowledgment. l remained in
the anti-slavery movement, however,
until emancipation was secured In 1868;
and l am still laboring to obtain the
suffrage for women, as l have done
without ceasing for half century.
This much of an introduction has
seemed necessary in order to show my
authority for speaking on the sub
ject of MANS Wrongs" There never
were two as unpopular reforms as the
abolition of slavery and the entran-
chisement of women, and therefore
those who championed both of them
were indeed social outcasts, with
scarcely a place to lay their heads.
There was no money in the advocacy
of either. Wendell Phillips. who, even
in those days of comparatively small
payment could get 500 for an address,
was Obliged to lecture on anti-slavery
for nothing as long as such lectures
were needed. All the speakers and
workers in this cause were compelled
practically to donate their services. In
that of woman suffrage the conditions
were still more stringent, for, While in
every neighborhood. there were some
families who were strong abolition
lists" and would take care of those who
went about the country to arouse pub
lie sentiment, there were many COM
nunities where woman suffrage had
not a friend and where hardly one fam
ily would offer food or shelter to the
very few courageous individuals who
dared attempt to educate tha public
mind on this question.

cept private hospitality, and meet peo-
pie in a social way.
Travelling almost constantly for more
than so years, l have sojourned for a
short or long period with thousands of
families in all parts of the country, and
have had such opportunities for the
study of domestic conditions, as, it
may be said without exaggeration, have
been afforded to few. if any other, wo-
men. The question has been often
asked If this is the reason l never mar

/ have witnessed a great deal of sor-
row III married life, l have seen also a
vast amount of peace and happiness,
especially in later years, since the po-
sltlon of women has been so much i'm
proved.
AS my entire life for the past half
century has been devoted to redressing
the wrongs of women, 1t has been gen.
orally assumed that | did not believe
men suffered any wrongs. Such is not
the case, but, as man always has had
things pretty much his own way and
has been in a position where it was
very easy to take care of himself,
needed the help of myself or any other
woman. From the beginning it was he
who made the laws, which govern the
marriage relation, and he made them
all in his own favor. If they were not
enforced he had only himself to blame,
as the entire executive power was in
his hands. He possessed, moreover,
the absolute autocracy which lies in
holding the pocketbook, for he held,
not only his own but also his wifes.
He was not kept in subsection by the
threat of being deprived of his children,
for he had been very careful to vest
their sole custody and control in him
self. He furthermore had used his I'M
limited authority to frame such di-
Vorce laws as would hold the wife in
check, secure almost unlimited free
dom for himself, and leave her practi-
cally no redress. AS the browning act
of sovereignty he reserved for himself
alone all opportunity for that most
necessary adjunct of development
the higher education, and, in addition,
ne appropriated the money ma king oc-
equations of the world. Under such
circums tances it is quite natural that
mans wrongs" should not have con-
sumed a very large part of my time or
effort.
During the past 40 years there has
been a gradual evolution in the status
of woman, legal, educational, indus
trial and social, and, in exactly the
same ratio, her wrongs have decreased.
Does this necessarily imply that mans
wrongs have increased? Woman her
self would not wish to purchase her
rights at such a price. She does not
enjoy a privilege to-day which man
has not granted to her and which he
The Savannah morning news., 1901-07-21

could not take away, if he so desired,
for men still constitute the legislative,
executive and virtually the whole gov
eminent power. Women simply have
accepted the rights bestowed upon
them, and if men are wronged there
by, they must hold themselves respon-
sible. The law which allows wife to
retain her own property does not de-
prive the husband of his. and he still
has the immense advantage of owning
all they accumulate together, so he
suffers no wrong in this respect. In
all but nine of the states he continues
to hold the sole guardianship of the
children, and in those nine shares II
equally with the mother. The divorce
laws framed by man alone do not per-
petrate a wrong against himself when
they permit woman only the same
causes for the separation which are al
lowed to a man. The opening of the
great universities of the country to wo-
men has not deprived one man of the
exact chance for an education which
he possessed before this was done.
Thus far. it must be admitted, the
rights which have been obtained for
women have not resulted in wrongs for
men: and in one direction only can
there be any foundation for an oppo-
site claim, viz: the entrance of women
into industrial competition. This is
vast and many-sided question. If the
advent of nearly 100000 women into
wage learning occupations had displac-
ed arbitrarily that number of men
and left them permanently out of work,
this would. indeed, be a grievous wrong
and without adequate compensation.
Vast numbers of these toilers, however,
are engaged in industries peculiarly
adapted 10 women, which men would

a century during which women have
been entering this domain has devel-
oped hundreds OF additional vacations
for men through invention, exploration,
utilization OF electricity, opening OF
new territory and countless other ave-
nues OF employment. IL must also be

uralize them, train them in citizenship
and convert them into an element of
strength.
In considering the general aspect of
this question-"Mens Wrongs"-I am
unable to see that in the state at
large they suffer any, except such as
are the portion of all humanity in the
present complex processes of our de-
velopment. In struggling against
these, men have always an immense
advantage, because they have a voice
in the government, and can control
those who make and execute the laws.
Without this power they would be help
less indeed-as weak and defenseless
as women, and because they are in
vested with this authority their wrongs
do not command so keen a sympathy
as those suffered by the feminine half
of humanity. Doubtless, in requesting
my views on this subject, 1t was in
tended that they should apply to the
domestic grievanc IS of men, but my
long experience in public life compels
me involuntarily to take the broader
outlook first. Is it not strange that
when we speak of domestic wrongs we
think only of those connected with
husbands and wives-not with any
other members of the household? All
those cruel laws which so long dis
graced our statute books applied only
to the married-pever to single women.
Why has it always been deemed neces-
sary thus to hedge about, restrict and
degrade marriage, which should be the
highest, hottest, most reciprocal and re-
spected of all the relations of life?
1 cannot go so far as those who de-
clare that the beginning of the new
century, sees the wrongs of women en-
tirely swept away, but when memory
reverts to the early part of the one
which has just passed into time. l can
note such a lessening of these wrongs
as the world seldom has beheld with
any other class of people in the same
length of time. Has this been accom-
panied by an increase in the wrongs
of men? 1 think not One might ask
whether the emancipation of the slaves
did not wrong the masters. In a sense
it did, but it only took away from
them an authority which they never
rightfully possessed, and only deprived
them of property which they held in
defiance of the moral law. 1t produced
a chaos of conditions which are not
yet fully adjusted, but which at last
will be settled to the immeasurable ad
vantage of both. Man is not the do
mestic autocrat he used to be, and
it is probable that, in the revolt against
his supreme authority, the women of
the household do not, in all cases, pay
him the respect due to husband and
father. In some instances man is look
ed upon very much as a machine for
the manufacture of money, and wo-
men do not recognize any Obligation
