In his lecture this afternoon DR..
McCuaig took for his subject, Woman
Her Place and Position" After dis
cussing the fundamentals of the rela-
tionship Of woman to man, the appli-
cation of these fundamentals to the
issues Of the day was taken up. In his
reference to the suffrage cause DR..
McCuaig said:
1T is out of this problem-the prob
lem involved in the relationship of the
sexes-that We have the present-day
issue of woman's suffrage-an issue OF
such widespread significance that 1t
does not require the vision of pro-
phet to discern either in this country
or in Great Britain a spirit of unrest
between man and woman Of such ON
nous character as to raise the whole
issue from position of national I'm
portance.
Man Is Senior.
1.-THE main route Of the suffrage Is
sue lies in the fact that in the consti-
tuition Of the relationship between the
man and the woman the man is the
senior creation, and as such sustains
a priority that makes him representa-
tive, responsible and accountable.
1t is not only the record Of book,
but 1t is the writing of God In every
bone. Of the man, in every muscle of
his body, and in every texture of his
brain. The constitution Of human life
is not every man for himself and every
woman for herself, but every man and
all men for every woman and all
women.
Superior in One Way.
There Is a sense in which wom-
an has superiority to man. as
surely as man has a priority to
woman-tn beauty OF form, In flash
Of thought, in spiritual sensibility.
It Is the truth, too, that IN marriage
both the man and the woman bring
essentials. and as SPECIALISTS in
varying essentials. stand together.
equally one. But beyond this, UNI
der the constitution OF life, man
stands in his investigation and
struggle towards toward a higher
civilization. as an advance column
before mothers, wives, daughters
and sisters, and the advancement Of
woman depends upon the enlight-
eminent OF man.
The sore trouble that exists to-
day has come about because man
has been untrue to his responsible
ity. Representative, responsible
and accountable has not writ
ten justly for woman in any depart
ment of life. The laws that pre-
vail are 0f hiR making hut IN M
place where he has spoken has he
placed woman on an equal footing
with himself. Take 1t In the laws
Of the land. There are, for exam
pie, more than a dozen particulars
in which the laws Of the state Of
New York discriminate against the
woman in favor Of the man
Predicts Equal Suffrage
In the presence Of mans failure
under responsibility and the injus-
tice It has wrought" DR.. McCuaig
continued. 81 do not wonder that
women cry aloud for something
that will bring change, and that
not a few delight in prison even,
and would throw themselves BEN
meath the wheels before the world
to bear witness to the wrong and
preach a remedy.
I have no doubt. That woman suf-
frage win work the needed cure, /
hardly hope: for deeper than the
wrong Of unjust laws Is the wrong
and harm and hurt of unjust men.
