''lf the double standard of morals
is responsible for nine-tenths of the
inconsistencies practiced by men, and
these habits are Irresponsible for
nme-tenths of race degeneracy from
the teaching Of consistent standard
of morals is the only practical and
rational solution of these problems.
"A readjustment of sexes is now
possible, necessary and inevitable.
When the natural restraints forced
upon women in the past shall have
been fully removed, women win gravi-
ate to the level of men, or men must
rise to the plane of respectable wo-
man hood, or they will yield to each
other and meet on compromise
plane.
There are more men and women of
character today than ever before.
While this is true, owing TO the grad
ual removal Of unnatural restraints
thrown about the women in the past,
there is a marked and growing ten
dency among an ever increasing
number of women to indulge in liber-
ties formerly INDUCED in by men
only Unless this tendency is over
come by the immediate and universal
teaching of single standard of NOR
alt it will continue until the sexes
meet on law or compromise plane. In
the past meme and women have liv-
ed on separate planes. In the fu-
ture they must rise and fall togeth-
er."

NAMED in the city few days to see
the fair.
In every land, in all ages, among
all races" he said, "barbarous and
civilized peoples have held a higher
standard of morals for women than
men. In our penal institutions 7
times as many men as women are
found Men drink barrel of whis-
key where women drink a pint; they
sew their wild oats, where women sew
purity and love Are these social
and moral differences conclusive evil
dence that men are inherently more
deprayed than women? For ages
mems selfish interests have led him
70 affirm this. Womens acquiescent
nature and fondness for compliments
have led her to accept the opinion.
THAT women have been, and are
better by practice cheerfully admit;
that they are Inherently better | pos
itively deny.
"A perverted public sentiment toll
crates and fosters the inconsistencies
of profanity, tobacco, alcohol and vice
in men and condemns these habits
as objectionable sins when indulged
in by women. By practice men are
less consistent that women for no
other reason than that public senti-
ment permits them to be; women are
better than men for no other reason
than that public sentiment compells
it.
Savage selfishness placed women
on a pedestal OF purity from which
she could not afford to descend.
"Our savage ancestors stoned to
death the wayward women and let
the equally guilty man go free. We
socially ostracize the erring woman,
force her into obscurity, into hideous
diseases, an untimely death and an tm-
marked grave. For centuries we have
denied her child of unfortunate birth
The social and civil rights dear to
the heart of every human being. We
permit the equally or more guilty man
to 90 unmolested, and if he chooses to
become a national reformer.
While we are doubling our nor
NAL population we quarduple our de-
fectives. Every ten to fifteen years
we double the capacity of our penal
and feeble minded institutions. Eighty
per cent of our children are physi-
cally defective at birth, and more
than ten per cent are mentally de-
fective in childhood. We are begin
ming to realize that we are facing
real crisis. We have imposed many
taxes upon the moral classes fore
ing them to support a million pauper,
criminal and mental detectives, while
we have left public sentiment en-
couraging the chief causes OF degen-
eracy. Dealing with effects instead of
removing the causes has been one Of
the supreme weaknesses of reform
effort.
