have said ten years ago about SUCH
proposal? Women as constitution
makers.
Today even those who have not
taken a flat-footed position IN favor
OF equal suffrage are pointing out
that women are doing so much in
education, in charity, in industry, in
reform, in municipal housekeeping,
that It would be unfortunate, as well
as absurd, to exclude them from a
convention that is to give the state
better organic law. The loss to the
state would be far greater than the
loss to the women.
or course women as members OF
the New York constitutional conven-
tion would emphasize the inconsis
tency of laws denying them the bal
lot. Such anomalies are inevitable

And there shall come forth a rod

Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the Lord shall
rest upon him, the spirit OF wisdom
and understanding, the spirit Of
counsel and might, the spirit OF
knowledge and Of fear OF the Lord;
And shall make him of quick un-
derstanding in the fear OF the Lord:
and he shall not Judge after the
sight of his eyes, neither reproye af-
ter the hearing OF his ears;
But with righteousness shall he
Judge the poor. and reproye with
equity for the meek OF the earth
and he shall smite the earth witt
the rod Of his mouth, and with the
breath Of his lips shall he slay the
wicked.
And righteousness shall be the
grdle Of his loins. and faithfulness
the girdle of his reins.
The wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, ana the leopard shall lie down
with the kid; and the calf and the
young Lon and the failing together;
and a little child shall lead them
And the COW and the bear shall
feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: and the lion shall eat straw
like the OK.
And the sucking child shall play
the mole OF the asp, and the
weaned child shall put his hand on
the cockatrice den.
They shall not hurt nor 'estroy in
all my holy mountain: for the earth
shall be full Of the knowledge Of the
Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

Evolution of Parenthood.

We contented ourselves with a vague
notion that our parental authority is a
natural product; that we get it, ready
made, by merely having children; that
we possess 1t. as we possess bodily or
CANS n worldly goods; that our pow
er over the children Is founded and
built on the bare fact that here the
children are, just as a mans diges-
i've power is founded and built on the
pare fact that here his insides are. And
this notion Of our authority as a natur-
al product. developed in all of us alike,
Is not only vague, but downright false.
IT appeals to nature: therefore, unto
nature 1t h go, n hear what she
has to say to it.
The further I trace back, in nature.
rem. the less I like what she tells me.
For I find the whole business tainted
with savagery-"Oh, Jephtha, Judge Of
Israel, what a daughter hadst thou'-
I trace 1t back to the power of brutes
e their young. and to worse than
thoughts. I see Moloch, J%uggernaut,
Chronos devouring Zeus, and cats de-
vouring their kittens. So much for
the origins Dr. development of parental
authority in nature.
Slowly, year by year.. with pleasure
and shame. comes that good under
standing between parents and children
which we call our authority. It is in
Vulnerable acts of parental care and

the sequence Of them that we get the
impression or sense OF continuity, as
