 Than the women expect to get two more from five others, Maryland, New Jersey, Vermont Connecticut and New Mexico.

Governor Pleasant, Louis- jana, led the movement to get south ern states to stand solidly against the amendment, but failed.

minor children; and neither the hus- band nor the wife has any right para mount to that Of the other in respect of the custody and control of the earnings of their children" On death the surviving parent has the entire control; on separation or divorce the judge decides which parent is better fitted to have the children.
 Laws Are Not Adequate
 Twenty-two states now have some form of equal guardianship law. Four others have laws granting some con- sessions to mothers. But even in those states which have recognized mothers her rights are equal to the fathers in only a scant few cases. In many of the so-called equal guardian ship states the law is so framed as to leave much leeway for discrimination in favor of fathers. In New York though the law makes husband snu wife joint guardians, the courts have decreed that the statute applies to testamentary guardians-or that dur ing his lifetime the father is sole guardian and at his death the mother suceeeds.
 Women Are Working
 In many of the equal guardianship states the father has sole right to the child's earnings; he alone has control in matters of medical care and lao M- herits the child's property. On the other hand. some of the equal guar dianship laws require that the mother be fit guardian though nothing is said of the fathers fitness. And she must not, if widow. marry again.
 Any number of pathetic stories of what mothers have suffered under 1 this old law might be told. The suffragists of this country have for seventy years struggled to improve the legal standing of mothers in this country. They have accomplished much but much still remains to be l done. Now that women have the vote they should use it to get justice for that parent over whom we sentiment alize lavishly. but whose rights are puny before the law.

GOUVERNEUR HOME, WHERE MONROE DIED
 IS SOLD FOR $13s,OOO
(New York Tribune)

On bid of s13S,000 by the Charles F. Moves company, d real estate firm of 92 William street, the old Gouver- neur mansion, at Prince and Lafayette streets, where President James Mon roe died on July 4, 1881, was sold at auction yesterday by Bryan L. Ken nelly. Joseph D. Cronan, who acted for the Moves company, said the pur- chase was made for a client. His state- ment indicated there was another sale in prospect, possibly to one of the patriotic and historical associa- tions which have been urging a public subscription to preserve the property as a historic relic.
 Tt was bought" said Mir. Cronan, with a view to future sale for inn provement." He declined to name the client.
 When the sale opened the auction room was crowded. The assemblage included number of men and women interested in the preservation of the property as a memorial to the author of the Monroe Doctrine, but the ma jority were more interested in the business corners and apartment houses put up for sale during the course of | the afternoon.
 NIL OTOudIl Op6fl6Q the DlQOlDk with an offer of S100,000. This was raised to s110,000 by the representative of an- other realty firm. The price, rising S10,000 at time, soon reached $780, o00 MT. Cronan then offered s5,O00 more, after which the bids rose $500 at | a time to the final figure which, the auctioneer announced, represented about s11.50 a square foot. 1 The Dr0Darfv includao tbn Couyar neur mansion and the structure next door, both of which were built by Samuel L. Gouyerneur on two lots pur- chased from Philip Brasher for s2,15e. 1 Gouverneur had married Maria, daugh- 1 ter Of President Monroe, who at the end of his term in the White House came here to spend his declining years with his daughter and son-in-law,

BY GRACE JOHNSTON

American mothers have suffered great hardship through an old law borrowed from the common law Of Blackstone and embodied in the stat utes of most of our states. It reads: The legal power of the father, for a mother as such, is entitled to no power, but only to reverence and re- spect-the power of the father, l say, over the persons of his children ceases at the age of twenty-one yet until that age arrives this empire of the father continues even after his death, for he may by his will appoint guardian for his children"
 This statement characterized the standing of mothers in this country for many years. It is still true in many particulars of mothers in many of our states. In more than half the states In the union the law today gives mothers no rights over their children. Full guardianship goes to the fathers. Right of custody, control of education, medical care ana reiig- ion. right to the child's earnings and right to his property all belong to the father. He is guardian alone-the mother is ignored by the law.
 One State Has Good Law
 Three states-Delaware Florida and Tennessee-retain on their statutes the old law of Blackstone as quoted. They permit the father to controi his children even after death. for he may rob the mother of her children by ap- pointing a guardian for them in his will.
 What women want now is equal guardianship-by laws which give to father and mother the same rights and authority over their children. Utah has good equal guardianship law It provides that the husband and wife living together are the joint guardians of their minor children wrJn equal powers. rights and duties in respect of the control and custody and of the service and earnings of their
