EXIT MoTHERs-IN-LAW;
NO HELP FOR MERE MAN.

Omaha, July 1S.-At last relief from
the tyranny of the motherin-law is in
sight.
Ever since the second generation of
man the mother-in-law has held the
reins. with only, the joke writer to
check her aggression.
But now comes the Nebraska SUI
preme court to the rescue With one
stroke of the pen the mother-in-law
is deposed. No longer may she reign.
Her word is merely that of n stranger
with no authority in the home.
But where the downtrodden husband
comes in is still an enigma; for the
supreme court in deposing the mother
in-law places the wife ON the throne
In Nebraska, henceforth, the wife is
mistress in her own home. her mother
in-law is a subordinate. The decision
Is in a case where the wife had left
her husband because the husbands
mother ruled the household
Minnie Brewer of Platte county sued
her husband, William NJ. Brewer, for
maintenance. She declared he brought
his mother to the home and allowed
the parent to boss the wife Condi-
tions became so intolerable, says the
plaintif, that she returned to her own
family and left her husband to live
with his mother.
The learned judges of the supreme
court listened to the earnest plea of
the downtrodden woman. Perhaps
they thought mans turn would come
next, and that the wife's mother would
be deposed in the interest of the hus-
band. In its decision the supreme
court is terse and goes straight to
the point, saying:
Every wife is entitled to n home
to correspond with the circumstances
and conditions of her husband over
which she shall be permitted to pre-
side as mistress. A wife does not
forfeit her right to maintenance by
refusing to live in a home with and
under control of the husbands moth
