had not expected to find any legis-
lator of today brave enough to put
his name to such bill, and my SYM
pathy went out at once together
with an offer of add to the Hon.
Joseph Carter, the proposer of the
bill.
First, it is provided that the act
of physical union resulting in the
birth of child shall constitute true
marriage and that the child shall
take the name of the father and be
his lawful heir. Second, that this
marriage shall hold till dissolved by
the court, and, third, that the mother
shall, upon the declaration of the.
name of the father of the child, be-
come seized of all the rights and
privileges of a wife. =,
Naturally such a bill provokes vio+
lent and derisfve opposition as well
as fervid support It is, on its face,
a humanitarian bill, woman's BILL

is child's bill, but children are con-
sidered more valuable asset by cer4
