ed to advance appreciably the legal
status of ONE in that country. Com
paratively few of the workers for poll.
tical equality Of the sexes are how
ever. committed to the violent tactics
without which no extension of the
franchise was ever granted by the
English government. They are a con
servative people, tenacious Of the
forms of their institutions, and in the
matter Of the subsection of women
there is a reason" which seems
valid.
C%onceding that "the conquered con-
quers the conquerors"-either wholly
or in part, and noting that in the time
Of Caesar, the ancient Britons, in their
form of the family life. were several
ethnic periods behind other tribes in
the same status OF development, we
may well conclude hat they would
have some arrears Of progress to make
up in the relation Of the sexes.
So If the old Roman pater familias
is still typed in English law, it should
be no matter Of surprise; particularly
as her colonies have largely drained
the kingdom Of the most radical and
venturesome. But this, regardless of
any economic conditions-which doubt
less have a bearing upon the question
should convince Americans that the
British problem of woman's advance
ment is not identical with ours.
True that under the old English law
which Prevailed generally in this coun-
try (where the Code Napoleon obtain
ed the status of m was the same)
the wife was practically the chattel of
her husband. She had no legal right
except the right to live. She could
be beaten with whips or cudgels if her
husband deemed it necessary. She
could not w her own property in
herited from her parents or earned in
~maidenhood; she could not collect her
wages, make a contract, or own her
own clothes. Their children belonged
to her husband who could restrain her
personal or religious freedom and
compel her abject submission in every
particular. Such was the legal status
Of when the first "Woman's
Rights" convention was held in 1848,
demanding the equality before the law
and at the ballot box-of men and wo-
men. The effect, in the states repre-
scented, was immediate. The same
year New York and Pennsylvania pass
ed laws permitting married women to
women in this country has since been
constant, IL slow. 1t would almost
seem that the spirit of primitive dem
ocracy is still lowering over the land
waiting to be incarnated in the institu-
tons of its latest possessors, so ready
has been the response to well-directed
effort in its behalf.
There is therefore, neither danger
nor need of the American suffrasette
becoming militant, and the citation
of the English "militancy" as an argu-
ment for Withholding the vote from
the women citizens of South Dakota
is wholly Irrelevant, incompetent,
and immaterial," as the legal fraterni-
ty would put it.
