Rights and Privileges Of Women.
woman,s Rights9 What does a wo-
man want iv rights whin she has priv
leges? Rights Is tn last thing we get
in this wurruld. They're. tn next
things to wrongs. They're wrongs
turned inside out. We have tn right
to be sued f'r debt instead Nv lettin' tn
bill run, which is a privilege. We
have tn right to thrile be jury iv
our peers, a right to pay taxes an a
right to wurruk. None iv these things
is amy good to me. They'se no fun in
thin. All tn r-rights injye / don't

No, sir, a woman don't need rights.
Tn pope imprors, kings an women
have privileges; ordhin'ry men has
rights. Ye niver hear II tn Impror
of Rooshya demandin' rights. He don't
need thin In his wurruk. An so 1t is
with women. They haven't tn right
TO vote, but they have tn privilege Nv
conthrolIin' tn man We ilict. They
haven't tn right TO make laws. but
they have tn privilege iv breaxin'

tn right Nv a fair thrile be a jury Nv
their peers; but they have tn priv
lege iv an unfair thrile be a jury iv
their admirin' infeeryors. II I cud fly
