Woman Asks Equal Standard of Morality

loudest thing in the world

nor; yes, and the most notewor-

Had the Irish genius Of observa-
ton pursued the subject he would
doubtless have added that. like the
infants the womans cry would
not cease until she had obtained
that for which she cried. What is

that the entire sex is in state Of
unrest and disquiet and dissatis-
faction, but we don't know what is
in their minds because they won't
tell us. They don't seem to want
us to know"
That eminent lawyer is further
from the truth than he has ever
been IN all OF his long and brilliant
career. A woman may not choose,
when she is in the sulks, to tell her
husband or father or brother that
she Graves q new hat or gown. Per

household scenes, that the subject

But the idea that women are sub

trivial matters the purchase OF a

Paints Distress of Wife.

Not to blame for doing her best
to entice a married man away from
his home and family? Girls do
plenty of wrong and silly things
that can be excused by their youth
and inexperience. but nothing on
earth condones the crime of the
woman who encourages a man in
being faithless even in thought to
his marriage vows.
AS for a young girl finding
amusement in watching the help
less suffering of a wife who sees
her husband being enticed away
from her, the women of old who
diverted themselves by watching
wild beasts tear people to death in
the arena were no crueler than she.
It does not take any imagination
to paint the agony of the middle
aged wife who sees her husband
being fascinated by a younger
woman, who compares her dull
eyes with the girls bright ones;
her heavy figure with the girls light
grace; her faded cheeks with the
girls fresh roses; her dead hair
with the girls glossy locks; her
weary and faded spirit with the
girls effervescence of youth, and
who realizes, above all, that the
girl has the allure of the new and
unknown while she has grown as
tedious to her husband as a twice
told tale.
Very likely the woman has burn
ed her beauty out over the kitchen
stove cooking for her husband. Very
likely her hands have grown knot
ted and coarse working to make
him comfortable and to help him get
start in the world. Very likely her
eyes have grown dim nursing his
children. Very likely she is frow-
silly dressed because she is trying
to save his money; but women
know with pitiless certainty that
men seldom remember what a wom-
an has done for them. They only
know how she looks at the present
moment, and so no wife puts any
faith in her husbands gratitude to
her keeping him faithful to her.
That is why it is so easy for any
young girl TO make a middle-aged
wife Jealous.

isn't really worth his wife's worry
ing over.
Don't Be Responsible.
However, such as he is. he Is all
that she has got. He is the father
of her children. He is the man she
gave her young heart to and that
she'll see through a rosy mist of
illusions as long as he lives. She
bears his name, and his disgrace
Will be hers and. her children's. His
presence and his earnings keep the
roof over her head and her babies.
and therefore she grows desperate
at the thought of his being enticed
away from her.
Don't you have a hand in break
ing up this home, little sister. LET
the woman keep her poor make
shirt OF husband. Don't have
another woman's tears, nor the
black sin of having had any part in
rendering littleN children fatherless
on your soul.
Don't forget that retribution new
er fails. Some day YOU. foo will
marry Some day you. too. will
grow middle-aged, and homelv. and
see younger and fairer women how
erng about your husband, and then
you' too, will suffer pang for pang
the misery that you inflicted on an
other woman.
Also bear this in mind. that the
girl who fiirts with a married man
plays with fire. Sometimes she
hurts her own heart worse than she
does the wife's, for the man who is
married to one woman and makas
love to another deals dishonorabIv
by all women. In worldly sense
he Is safe" as being married bo
does not have to marry the girl. nor
can he be sued for breach of prom
Use. Furthermore, the girl herself
has broken down the wall that
mans chivalry has erected about
the innocent and modest young girl
and so what started as filtration
is very apt to pass into something
which spells disaster for the girl.
Chickens Will Come Home.
And don't forget this, either. YOU
girls who think it fun to 1irt with
married men. The girl who en-
cages in that pastime cuts her own
throat socially and matrimonially.
You may laugh at the Jealous
wives, but it Is the wives who issue
the invitations to balls and parties
and who give the house parties.
and once let a girl get the reputa-
ton as being fond of married men.
and her name is dropped from
every invitation list. Wives no
more encourage a f1irtatious girl
around their homes than a shep-
herd does a wolf around his sheep
fold.
Nor do young men, the right sort
Of young men, want to marry the
girl who has affairs with married
men. She is little too wise. She
is too sophisticated. Always anGs
inevitably the smell of scandal
hangs about her skirts. 1t may be
undeserved, but it's there, and you
can't argue with an odor
Therefore, girls. in humanity 20
other women, and in Justice to
yourself, don't firt with other wom-
ems husbands. The man may be
very fascinating 1t may be true
that his wife doesn't appreciate
him, but just remember that you
don't hold the Office Of public com
forter Thus shah you save your
self and your sister woman much

made to execute two other murderers.
H. e. Roberts and Michael Morgan.
The trap was sprung under Roberts
and Morgan at 1890 o'clock.

climbed the scaffold, saying he had
been bounded by officers and his mind
unbalanced by work over an emery
wheel while in prison. He said if he
had not killed these men" he would

Thousands Plea for Men.
Morgan protested his innocence to
the minister who accompanied him to
the death chamber.
Gov. Oswald West, an aggressive OPP
ponent of capital punishment, had
been appealed to by thousands of per-
sons to reprieve these four men, but
he s~teadfastly refused, saying he want
ed the people, of this state to have a
bloody Friday" in the hope they
eventually would vote to abolish the
death penalty.
While the hangings were taking
place, a 24-hour meeting was being
held on a street in San Francisco in
protest against the executions.
A fifth nan was to have been exc
cuted, but the governor committed his
punishment to life Imprisonment.
Thousands had petitioned Gov. West
to reprieve the four men until the
voters have a chance to reconsider
their action in defeating at the last
election an initiated law abolishing
capital punishment. The argument
has been that the question should be
submitted again to 'allow the newly
enfranchised women to vote on it.
Governors of Wisconsin, Maine and
Rhode Island, where capital punish
ment now is forbidden, joined in the
appeal for reprieve.
