wife "old lady and ''old woman" and
my woman"g | can tell you this.
He has lost all respect for his wife
whom at the altar he promised to re-
spect and protect Every man who is
d gentleman will speak of his wife as
my wife, or use her given name. If
you men want to show your wife
little more respect, when speaking of
her use decent name Another thing
is this. Win gentleman let his wife
90 out in the very worst of weather
and cut wood, bring in water, go to
the mines sometimes a mile away, and
carry big sacks of coal, while he loafs
about smoking, gambling and drinking
whiskey' | can answer you without
thinking moment, No, he will not.
A man who will do such as this is not
fit to live in Africa, much less Ameri-
ca. He is low down scoundrel. and
l would tell such one so to his face
if he would come to me. A man gull
ty of such conduct ought to be taken
out by the men of his town (those who
respect a LADY, and horse whipped |
know of a man who lived close to this
place, who would sleep until eight and
nine o. clock and make his wife get up
at four O. clock to make fires and cook
breakfast. When he woke up he would
make her fill his pipe and light and
bring it to him. Sometimes he would
make her go out and borrow whiskey
for him. The wife of such man has
just cause to enter suit for a divorce
Every man ought to respect his wife
enough that he would not let her do
the manual labor around his home.
There ought to be law imposing a
fine of not less lhan 25 dollars and.fifty
days hard labor for such conduct. l
don't think the jury would be out long
on such a case. That is, if it were
made up of men who respect the op-
posite sex. / think everyone of you
would agree with me on this matter,
if you would go into the homes of
such people. They are to be found in
every town. You can always tell a
gentleman from low born rascal by
their conduct around their homes
