"This Recognition Of Her Equality Can.
not Be Overestimated in Importance!

upon the importance Of this decision;
he extolled the court; 1t had set white
milestone to mark the progressing
emancipation of the race. Then,
briefly, he proposed to outline for them
the legislative steps by which woman's
right to equality with man had been
at least partly recognized.
He fumbled for a moment among
the papers on his desk, until he found
one of the pamphlets Miss Greene had
given him, and then he said he wished
to call the senates attention to the
employment act of 1872, the drainage
act of 1885, and the sanitary district
act of 1890. Vernon spoke Quite IA
miliarly of these acts. Furthermore
gentlemen would, he was sure, instant
