has become of oId-time, pure woman
hood, or to save what is left from i'm
pending doom.
After all the question is not, will
we stick to women, good or bad, nor
whether women can get on without
men.
If candor is consulted, in this in
vestigation, which is going on, then
it will be found that women are not
angels. TO start on. In the Bible, all
the angels are men, wherever that
puts the joke.
If / were to assert that women are
no better than men, and were called on
to prove it, my argument would run
after the following order:

or in other words. all life is begotten
in the image and after the likeness, of
its sire.
s. Men are their husbands. This
is the choice of the woman, and not
only so, but the average woman had
rather marry a man, with his nose
pointing down the Nancy Hanks track,
if not with Nancy's record.
4. Men are their sons. If a man
can father a daughter, inherently bet
ter than himself, then why can't
woman mother a son inherently better
than herself, and thus improve the
race, with each generation? If men
are as depraved as taught, they are
still the sons of holy, angelic, divine
motherhood, as the preachers and po-
cts, yes, and the sons all say.
5. Men are their Drothers. And the
same little passions and weaknesses,
which one develops, is seen in the 9TH
er in childhood. So thus far, L contend
that 1 have made out my case. But to
say nothing of the facts-that the wo-
man was made from a piece of the
man, led him astray, has him for a
father, a son, a brother, but she delibe-
rately consorts with him, and the puz-
zIe of the home is to keep her from
marrying below herself, whic does
not argue any superior strain. If a
man is perfect, satisfactory, and ir-
resistible magnet to woman, then the
question of affnities, and sympathies,
settles the other question of identity
of nature.

folks like the rest of us.
g. A woman is just as initiative as
man, and often far shrewder.
10. A woman will backslide from the
high ideals of home or church, as east

IL. A man has three times as much
self-respect as a woman. (Proof?)
If a woman sticks her hat on the side
| of her head, cusses, squirts tobacco
| juice up and down the streets, and
keeps all sorts of company, hours, no
half decent man will be caught with
her. But a man can go anywhere,go
with anybody, go in any sort of gang,
come back the same day or the next,
and come through the police courts, or
do anything, then ring the incest girls
door bell, take her to church, and mar
ry her, too. This proves that the wo-
man is not half as careful for herself
1 as a man is. The sexes keep up each
| others standards, and the men, by re-
| fusing to keep company with any sort
| of old thing, force up the woman's
practice to his ideals. The woman, by
associating with any old thing. let the
mans standard down. The man gives
| the woman inspiration to purity by
