WIVES AND THE LAW.

No more significant evidence of We
mans increasing independence is
Afforded than the changed attitude
with which the law regards her status
after marriage, says Robert Webster
Jones in the HOusekeeper. To realize
the radical reform that has been effect
ed during the last fifty years we have
only to recall the marriage protest
of Lucy Stone, the famous advocate OF
equal suffrage. Upon her marriage IN
1855 to Henry b. Blackwell, both she
and her husband signed a protest
against such OF the present laws On
marriage as refuse TO recognize the
wife as an independent, rational being.
while they confer upon the husband an
injurious and unnatural superiority,
investing him with legal powers which
no honorable man would exercise AMI

sin Another Case.

Fanksville. Wis. Oct. 12.-Many re-
msrg,ablp cures are being reported
from an over the country. but there is
one right here in Franksville which is
certainly worth publishing. and which
has not rs yet been given 10 the public.
Mrs. Louis MarkiSon OF this place
had been a sick woman for quite a
long time aud could not lind anything
10 give her any help. She suffered all
the painful symptoms % what IS gen
orally known rs female weakness. Ev-
cry woman who reads her story will
understand these distressing conditions
which combine 10 make the lives of
many women one long burden Of
weakness and suffering.
Mrs. MarkisOn CHANGED one day TO
hear OF n new remedy called DOdd's
Kidney Pills. that was said 10 he a
splendid medicine for wOmen's weak
ness. She determined 10 try some and
soon found herself getting better. She
kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking Of her case AIRS. Markison
says:
i can and do praise DOdd'S Kidney
Pills as a remedy FOR female weakness.
They are the best medicine | have ever
known. and have done me a great deal
OF good"

! which no man should possess" Among
the laws protested against were those
giving the husband the exclusive con.
troll and guardianship of the children;
the sole ownership of the wife's per
sOnal estate and the use of her real
estate, unless previously placed in the
hands of trustees: the absolute right
TO the product OF the wife's industry,
and finally, protest was made against
the whole system by which the legal
existence of the wife is suspended
during marriage, % that she neither
has a legal part in the choice of her
residence nor can she make will, NOT
sue or be sued in her own name, nol
inherit property" Then the newly
married couple cited this as their
creed:
"We believe that personal iRdepen-
dence and equal human rights can
never be forfeited except for crime;
that marriage should be an equal and
permanent partnership and so recog-
nized by law; that until it is so recOs-
nized married partners should provide
against the radical injustice of present
laws by every means in their power"
1t is gratifying to observe how, dur
ing the last half century, the various
unfair determinations which were the
objects of Lucy Stones marriage pro-
ltest" have been removed from the stat
ute books and laws substituted which
embody the long-loOked for justice.
Different states have special laws, but
Throughout the country the principle
holds good that a married woman,
without the consent of her husband,
may receive, hold and manage proper
! ty. and sell or bequeath it, as she sees
fit. In most states, too, she may
make contracts in her own name and
/ incur liabilities.

PENALTY or PRoMPTNEss.

The man who's always punctual de-
serves as much of pity.
AS any fellow living, and l think
you'll quite agree.
Perhaps he's made appointment with
party in the city
Ani catches the suburban train at
1853;
He knows fun well he'll be in time and
on the spot precisely;
He chuclles to himself, arrives and
PAGES to and fro
For quite a gOOdiy time, then stops and
treats the matter wisely
BY sitting down and waiting for the
fellow who is slow.
It's very nice to have the name OF be-
ing TO the minute,
In slang "a Johnny or the spot"
whatever may occur;
It seems a proud distinction, but
there's really nothing in it,
The man who's always punctual Gre
/. ates no mighty stir.
The theory's seductive, but it doesn't
stand to reason,
To practice it will bring you aught
but worry, wait and woe,
when just by being prompt you lose,
no matter what the season,
So much good time in waiting on the
fellow who Is slow.
The prompt man never moves tho
world, it's just the other fellow;
You have TO bide his time and wait,
End pace the floor and swear;
The fruits OF punctuality grow much
too ripe and mellow
For you to pick. while waiting on the
man who isn't there.
And so l say, tAa man that's prompt
could more Of sweets have tasted
If he'd Jagged a bit and rode his
hobby less, trow,
For think of all the minutese and the
hours he has wasted
For think OF all the minutes and the
fellow who is slow.

AqIipay and the Insurrectos.

Just what the true significance of
Aglipay's movement is, it is hard to
say. Some very well-informed per-
sons believe the movement to be pure
ly a shift in the political game, merely
back-stairs scheme, as it were, fos-
tered officially, for the expulsion of the
friars. Others claim Aglipay to be a
most genuine and honest religious
leader, with no thought of anything
save the work of his church and
flock. Still another opinion, which
seems equally well founded, though
not having so much numerical
strength, declares that the old insur-
recto spirit is recrudescent in him;
that he is slowly and surely weaving
about us a net, with old leaders, and
others, who have taken the oath of al
legiance, TO help him secretly in the
cities, and men like Faustino CUTLER
mo and other avowed insurgents in the
field to bring once more to pass the old
days and compel the Americans to
give over the islands to the SOW
ereignty of the Filipino.
Silly and fatuous as the latter
scheme appears to be. it would yet
find ready and fanatic adherents by
the thousand. Let the Filipino get a
really compelling leader, and the is
sue will be forced upon us. If it comes,
and there seems a very good chance
that it may, it will be impossible to
hold in the men; they will carry into
deadly effect the provisions of Lin

adopted his uncle's surname, and who
is known as Sir Charles Brooke, G. c.
M. G..
Sir Charles is one of the few Eng
lishmen who have succeeded in be-
coming absolute monarchs of an inde-
pendent state. His kingdom equals In
extent the whole of Wales and Scot
land. He las his own flags. his own
army, numbering some 500 highly
trained men, and recruited from the
various tribes of Dyaks under the "a
jah's rule. He also possesses small
navy, and both of these are maintained
in an efficient state out of the revenue
or G150,O00 year. Besides these, he
has many thousands of irregulars who
may be called up in emergencies, as In
the case of the recent unlucky expedi-
ton.
How Sarawak came into the posses
sion of an Englishman is one OF the
most romantic stories of the nine
teenth century. Early in that century
James Brooke embarked upon one OF
the most extraordinary adventures
that ever an Englishman undertook.
in 1925 he fought for the East India
company in the Burmese war, but, be-
irg dangerously wounded, he left the
service of the company and set of on
a rowing tour among the islands Of the
Indian Archipelago.
At that time those lovely islands
were the scenes of perpetual warfare
between innumerable tribes of savages
and pirates. Mr.. Brooke, seeing this.
returned to England, and he and his
friends equipped the ship called the
2oyalist. He manned her with score
Of picked men, and in October, 1928,
set sail from the Thames.
No sooner had he reached Borneo
han he found an insurrrection in full
',last and the rajah making half-heart-
ed attempts to quell it. Mr.. Brooke,

THE WORLD IS IMPROVING.

Great Nations Of the Earth

easily believe that their own era is a
new era in the world. But men with
historical knowledge now see interna-
tional conditions that are radically
different and radically better for peace
than any of the battered centuries be-
hind us knew. The interfering of the
dominant race of men by free institu-
tons to free opportunity on the most
fruitful continent, and the industrial
rise of the Republic, fortifying its po-
litical power, have put all nations in
a new relation to one another and in
a new relation to civilization. This
revolutionary fact has become palmer
this year than it ever was before. Its
far reaching significance we do not
yet see; but it looks like a great
force that will work for the steadying
of governments and for the sane 6l-
rection of endeavor for centuries to
come For it is the natural result OF
a great law of human development
and not an advantage won by the
strength of armies or by the skill OF
diplomatists or By any other power
that may change with change of rub
ers and of generations. The industrial
man becomes stronger, the political
man weaker; and economic force is
heeinning to rule the world as mill.
