does not "endow her with all his
worldly goods" The contrary is the
case. The wOman's property and the
right to manage it passes to her hus-
band.
It is to right this alleged wrong
that a statewide movement is now in
progress. The different organizations
of women of this state have been &C
lively promoting their cause for sew
eral months, and when the Legislature
meets they viii send special commit
tees to Austin to urge the granting of
their demands for the enactment Of a
law that will give the married women
their natural rights.
Under the operation of the present
laws of Texas, woman becomes non
entity so far as her property interests
are concerned when she marries. All
OF her money, earnings, notes, Secu-i-
ties and even her wearing apparel
are absolutely under her husbands
control. He has the management of
them without her consent and even
against her will. He can draw every
cent Of her money from the bank and
do with it as he pleases-
Can't Control Own Property.
A married woman in Texas caniiot
even exercise any right Of control
over her separate property without
her husbands permission, and then
only as his agent, which permission
and agency may be withdrawn at any
time. He can lease or rent her real
property and collect all rents therefor,
and dispose Of such rents as he sees
fit. He may dispose of all of her
community interest without her con-
sent and against her will, except the
homestead He may even mortgage
or sell every piece of furniture in the
home, and she is helpless to prevent
He may sell all the community prop
erty except the home. though she
has earned every dollar by her own
labor. She cannot prevent him; and
having disposed of it, the money is
absolutely under his control
If a married woman is injured in
a railroad accident the husband alone
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-12-14

can bring suit for damages, and
when the award is made, the money
is absolutely under his control. If
he sees fit, he can spend it on dia
monds and champagne dinners for an
other Woman-and the wife has no re-
course.
II near relative of the wife dies
and, through failure of the telegraph
company to deliver a message, a dam
age suit results the husband alone
can recover damages for his wife's
mental anguish and such damages re-
covered are under his control.
Husband Can Rob Wife.
If she goes out into the world to
earn livelihood, the husband can col
lect her wages In case of suit, he
can prevent her employer paying the
wages to her instead of himself.
When woman marries, whether
her husband is honest and capable or
not the law turns over to him the
absolute control and management Of
all her property, and no corresponding
responsibility is asked OF him. He may
lose it all, and she can not ask for
an accounting.
Though the husband had deserted
his family, and the wife by her eXer-
tons may have bought a COW to pro-
vide milk for the children, a horse
TO pillow the garden to provide food,
and household furniture for their
needs, is not protected against the
sale by her husband. On the other
hand, the wife, though deserted by her
husband, cannot dispose of any part
Of the community interests unless she
is destitute.
Proposed Law For Women.
At the annual convention of the
Texas Federation Of Women's clubs at
Fort Worth a few days ago the ques-
ton of bringing about an improve
ment of the legal status of married
women in this state was discussed.
The legislative committee OF the

"YOu have not only sold liquor
without a license. but you have been
guilty OF repeatedly furnishing it 10
Minors" This was Judge Withey's
statement 10 Michael Lebner of Lud-
ington who had been found guilty of
conducting "blud pig" in that city
where there are already more saloons
than the people there should be Cum
PEELED to support. 1T is men like
you," continued Judge Withey, "who
get boys ike these into the position
which they are. )" Judge Whitney
made 1t evident that he regarded the
drinking habits of the boys as direct
ly due To the action of Lehner in pro-
viding liquor for them. The saloon
claim that local option in any way
leads To the further sale of liquor to
boys is shown by the day -by-day re-
ports OF actual happenings in Michi-
gan TO be entirely without truth.
More arrests of boys aud more cases
OF drinking on the part Of bows is re-
ported from any one Of several saloon
counties than from the eRtire local
option district Of the state.
Pontiac people are complaining OF
the existence Of "locker system" in
that city through which liquor is dis
tributed among the members Of an
organization formed for the purpose
of avoiding the restrictions Of the liq-
uor law. 1t Is said 10 he true that the
Pontiac locker organization not only
violates the law as far as the evading
license payment is concerned but
that IL ADDS To drunkenness and TO all
the evils of the unrestricted liquor
business. And this locker system, IL
will be noted came into existence and

The Enchanted Lake

WARREN w. LAMPoRT
On the pebbled strand she wanders
In the silvery moonlight CLEAN.
Wa-bun- an-nuug. Star Of Morning.
Young and lovely as dream.
Like some fair celestial spirit
From the far-off realms Of light
Come TO hide little season
Meath the wing of earthly night.
In its wild and quiet beauty
At her feet the lakelet lies.
Flashing from its radiant bosom
Myriad diamonds of the skies.
Not ripple stirs it. save where
Yonder deer stoops down to drink.
Or some lone and wondering wild-fOwl
Floats along its sedgy brink.
Not sound breaks on the stiffness
OF the nights deep solitude.
Save the distant. dismal bowling
OF the wolf within the wood.
All is peaceful. all is silent.
All is strangely hallowed here.
For the veil unseen is parting,
Heaven to earth is drawing near.
Soon from out the shining clOudlands
Where the happy spirits dwell
He will come and walk beside her
Loves sweet tale again to tell.
Soan- ga-ta-ha. the brave-hearted.
Death devoted for her sake.
Who in times of tribal conflict
Perished at the flaming stake.
He will come adown the pathway
OF the airy realms of space
To the lakes enchanted margin
And the dear old trysting place.
And the sulIen King of Terrors
Shall relinquish his dread night
While the cup once rudely shattered
Is regulated in sweet delight.
They will tell again the story
Of the dear. departed days.
When together they had wandered
Thro the happy woodland ways.
Will recall the darker story
OF the war-cry's call to arms,
When the forest aisles resounded
With the battles dread alarms.
She will breathe in accents tender
As wanton zephyr's sigh
All an Ottowa maiden passion,
Yearning as in doys gone by.
He will speak in fiery language
OF a Hurons' faithful heart.
Of love from whose devotion
Neither life nor death can part.
Thus together will they wander
In the silvery moonlights slcam.
Drinking at loves nectared fountain.
Dreaming Ger loves olden dream.
Der and o'er until the midnight
Turns to kiss the coming day.
Till the moonlight fades in splcndor
And the shadows flee away.

We sll know that the mines will

also know they will not last forever
The permanent future OF the upper
peninsula lies in agriculture and stock
raising. This is the gospel that Is

Coloners line of argument is unrefut-
able.
The Colonel mas named the upper

growing crops II also spells prosper
